Filipi 1

1 UPavuli nu Timoti, avavombi va Yeisu Keileisite, khuvala avahalwa mwa Keileisite, khuvala avahalwa mwa Keileisite vavo vitaama khuvunchenge uwa khu Filipi, paninie nava loleli navavo vkhunghuvombela upelela.

PAUL and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

2 Uluhungu luve khulyume nulunonchechencho ulwihuma khwa Nguluve uDaada yeitu nakhwa Nkuludeva veito uYeisu Keilesite.

grace be unto you and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Nikhundeimya Unguluve vango eimiseikhi nghyoni pala upunikhuva nkumbukha umwe mweivooni.

I give thanks to my God on every remembrance of you,

4 Eimiseikhi nghyooni munyisayo nchango savuli yeinyo mweivooni, nianihovokha vunikhuvadovela.

always in every prayer of mine for you all, making request with joy,

5 Neileinulumwaleisyo lwingi ukhukongana nukhulya paninie khwienyo mundivangeili ukhuhuma eikhigono khyavulenguleilo ukhufikha eilelo eiyei.

for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day even until now;

6 Neilei nulweideikho ukhula umwene uveiatenghulinche eimbombo einonu munghati ndyumwe vei uyu ukhuyeivombelelangha nukhuyeimala ukhufikha pakhinghono eikhya Nkuludeva uYeisu Keileisite.

being confident of this very thing, that he who hath wrought in you the good work will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:

7 Lunonu khulyune ukhwipuleikha ewo palyumwe mweivoni ulwakhuva neivaveikhile munumbula yango. Ulwakhuva umwe muvile vayango munduhungu na mbunkungwa vwa minyololo mumbutangeili vwa leimenyu nukhunchova khwango eilivangeili.

as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I bear you on my heart, both in my bonds and in my defence and the confirmation of the gospel, as being all of you sharers in my grace.

8 Unguluve itangeili vango, ukhunkongana numunivelile nuvunonghwe palyumwe umwe mweimuvile nune munduhunghu ulwa livangeili.

For God is my witness, how earnestly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

9 Pu ulu lwulweisayo lwango ukhuta: ulunghano lweinyo luvenchanghe lwingi fincho ukhuluteileila luvenchanghe ukhuluteila uvumanyi nuluhala lwooni.

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all understanding;

10 Pu muve vanu vakhweideikha amanonu ukhuta pumuve ni numbula inonu, muve vanu avasavatulile nongwa vangholofa pakhingho eikhya Keielisite.

that ye may prove the things that are excellent, in order that ye may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ;

11 Pu mudeinchiwe isekhe incha yeilweli, mwa Yeisu Keileisite, mumbudwadwa nulunghinio lwa Nguluve.

filled with fruits of righteousness, which by Jesus Christ are to the glory and praise of God.

12 Pu lieno valukolo lwango ninonghwa mulumanye ukhuta nghooni anghahumile khulyune nghapelile ukhuta eilimenyu puleinchovivwaghwe fincho.

Now I wish you, brethren, to know, that the things which have befallen me have rather conduced to the progress of the gospel;

13 Punavuvunkungwa vwango uvwa minyololo puvumanyeikhikhe mwa Keileisite khuvasikhali avaloleli navange vooni.

so that my bonds are manifest in Christ through the whole palace, and all other places;

14 Navalukolo lwango vango vingi mwa Keileisite savuli yavunkungwa vwa minyololo wango, vanonghilwe nukhuva vanu vakhuleilumbeileila Eilimenyu khivula vudwanchi.

and very many of our brethren in the Lord, assuming confidence from my chains, are more abundantly bold, fearlessly to preach the word.

15 Avange vikhuleilumbeileila eilimenyo ni ngofyo neikhivinipu avange khuvufumbwe uvunonu.

Some indeed do it in a spirit of envy and strife; but some also preach Christ with cordial good-will:

16 Vala avavikhundumbeileila uYeisu nulunghano valumanyile ukhuta neiveikhiwe ukhuta neitangeile eilimenyu nukhuleitengelela.

the one indeed preach Christ out of contention, not with purity of intention, thinking to add affliction to my bonds:

17 Pu avange veikhundumbeilila uKeileisite nu vwimi hange nu vufumbwe uvuvivi. Puvisangha ukhuta vipela uvunkuvilwa khulyune mumbunkungw vwa minyololo vwango.

but the others of love, knowing that I am exposed for the defence of the gospel.

18 Pu leino? Sani, sangha khinu pu eingave savuli ya ngofyo nda puyeingave mumbwa yeilweli, uKeileisite ilumbeileiliwa pu lieno nihovokha lweli une punihovokha.

What then? if Christ is preached in whatever manner it be, whether in pretext or reality, even in this do I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

19 Ulwakhuva neilumanyile ukhuta angha yanghivenchangha vupokhi vwango. Puyayiva ewo savuli ya nyeisayo ncheinyo nuvulangeili vw Mepo Umbalanche.

For I know that this shall issue in my salvation through your prayers, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

20 Ukhukongana nuluhuvilo lwango ulwa yeilweli, khukuta sangavone soni. Pu lieno khu vukifa vwoni, nduvu isikhu nchooni na leileino nihuveil ukhuta uKeileisite ikhweimeikhivwagwa mumbeile nghwango ndupuyeingave mbwumi yeive mbufwe ikweimeikhivwanghwa.

according to my firm expectation and hope, that I shall be confounded by no event, but that with all boldness, as always hitherto, Christ shall now also be magnified in my body, whether by my life or death.

21 Ulwakhuva khulyune une, uvutamo vei Keileisite ukhufwa vukavi.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

22 Pu lieno eingave ukhulama kheimbeilei khwihola isekhe mumbombo yango, pu lieno saneilumanyile uvunonghwe vwango vyuvuleikhu.

But if it be his will, that I should live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my travail: and what to chuse I know not.

23 Pakhuva nikwenghiwa fincho na masanghe angha ngaveilei neileinuvunonghwe vwa khunghuleikha umbeile puneive paninie nu Keileisite, ikhinu khikhyo khyuma fincho.

For I am in a strait between the two, having an earnest longing to be dissolved, and to be with Christ, for this is far, far better:

24 Nu puyeingave ukhusinghala mumbeilei unghu khinu khinonu fiincho palyumwe.

but to abide in the flesh may be more necessary for you.

25 . Ulwakhuva neilumanyile pa eilei yani singhala nukhuva paninie numwe mweivoni, pavutamo uvwa luhekhelo nu lweideikho lweinyo.

And being so persuaded, I know that I shall stay and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith;

26 Pu eiyei yeinghegangha uluhekhelo lweinyo uluvaha mwa Yeisu uKeileisite, savuli yakhuvepo khwango paninie numwe.

that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus for me by my coming again unto you.

27 Mnonghiwa ukhutama emita meile nghyinyo ulunonu ulunonghelanile nei limenyu lya Keileisite. Muvombanghe evwo ukhuta neinginche nukhuvavona umwe ndapuniengasita ukhwincha, neipuleikhanghe eiyakhuta mweimile khikangafu munumbula yeimo, nuvufumbwe vumo, pakhuyeivo mbelela imbombo ya lweideikho lwa limenyu.

Only conduct yourselves worthily as becometh the gospel of Christ; that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul wrestling together in the faith of the gospel;

28 hange mulekhe ukhuvadwada avalunghu veinyo. Pu eiyei khuvene khihwani khya vunangi. Pu leino khulyumwe khihwani khya vupokhi ukhuhuma khwa Nguluve.

and not dismayed on any occasion by your adversaries; which is indeed the proof of perdition to them, but of salvation to you, and that from God.

29 ulwakhuva mupevilwe savuli ya Keileisite sayeileipakhumweideikha vuvule pu yeilei nakhukhunkuveilwa savuli ya Mwene.

For this favour on the part of Christ is granted you, not only that ye should believe on him, but also that ye should suffer for his sake;

30 pu mungave mukilana ulukila no lulalula nduvumwaluvwene kulyune nukhupuleikha ukhuta naleileino nipikilana.

experiencing the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear to be in me.
