Wafilipi 1

1 Pauli ni Timoti, bhatumishi bha Kristu Yesu, kwa bhala bhatengibhu mwa kristu bhabhitema Filipi, pamonga ni bhabhiyangilila ni mashemasi.

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

2 Neema na j'hiyelayi kwa muenga ni amani j'hayih'omela kwa K'yara dadiyetu ni Bwana bhitu Yesu kristu.

Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Nikammbombesya K'yara bhengu kila pa nikabhak'homb'hoka muenga mwebhoha.

I thank my God on every remembrance of you,

4 Mara syoha kila liombi lyangu kwa ndabha j'ha mwenga mwebhoha, huwa nikobhoka panikabhas'omela.

Always in every prayer of my for you all making request with joy,

5 Niyele ni shukrani limehele kwandabha j'ha ushirika bhw'henu muinjili kuh'omela ligono lya lya kubhwandelu mpaka lelu.

For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;

6 Niyele nibhuhakika kuj'ha muene j'haoyandisi lihengu linofu mugati mwa muenga ibeyendelela kuj'hikamilisya mpaka ligono lya Bwana YesuKristu.

Being confident of this very thing, that he which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

7 Ni sawa kwa nene kujip'heleka naha nalabha j'hamuenga mwabhoha kwa nakbha mmbabhakhili mun'teema bhwangu. Kwandabha muenga muyele bhashirika bhayinu mwa neema mukifungu kyangu ni mu utetezi ni bhuthibitishaji bhwangu bhwa injili.

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my grace.

8 K'yara ndo shahidi ghwa nene, ndabha kyaniyele ni shauku ndabha j'ha muenga mwebhoha mu ugati ghwa pendo lya Yesu kristu.

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

9 Na nis'oma kuj'ha: lugano lwinu bhuyongesekai zaidi ni zaidi mu maarifa ni luhala lwoha.

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

10 Nis'oma kwandabha j'ha e'le muyelai kinofu ni bhuwezo bhwa kup'hema ni kuchagula mambo ghaghayele kinofu sana. Pia nikihabhas'omela ili muyelai kinofu bila kuj'ha nihatia j'hoj'hioha y'hela muligono lya Kristu.

That you may approve things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ.

11 Na pia ili mmemesibhwaya ni litunda lya haki lyalipatikana mwa Yesu Kristu, kwa bhutukufu ni sifa j'ha K'yara.

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

12 Henu bhalongobhangu, nilonda mmanyayi kuj'ha mambo ghaghah'omili kwa nene ghaghaifwanjili injili iyendelelayi sana.

But I would you should understand, brothers, that the things which happened to me have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel;

13 Ndo maana fifungu fyangu mu Kristu, fimanyik'hene kwa bhalinzi bha ikulu iyoha ni kwa k'hila munu pia.

So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;

14 Ni bhalongo bhingi mu Bhwana kwandabha j'ha fifungu fyanene bhashawishiki nikuthubutu kulihubiri lilobhi bila khutila.

And many of the brothers in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

15 Bhamana kuweli hata bhikhanta ngasya Kristu kwa fitina ningondo, na pia bhamana kwa nia yinofu.

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

16 Bhala bhabhakantangasya Kristu kwa lugano bhamanyili kuj'ha nibhekhibhu apanai kwa ndabha j'ha kuitetela injili.

The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

17 Bali bhangi bhikantangasya Kristu, kwa bhubinafsi ni kwa nia yibaya. Bhidhanila kuj'ha bhisababisya matatizo kwa nene muminyororo ghyangu.

But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel.

18 Henu? nijali lepi aidha nj'hela iyelai ni kwa hilarious au kwa bhukweli, Kristu itangasibhwa ni mu e'le nihobhok'hela! Ndo, nibekuhobhokila.

What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretense, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

19 kwa kuj'ha nimanyili e'le libekutokula kubhopolibhwa kwa nene. like Jambo e'le libekutokula kwandabha j'ha maombi ghinu ni kwa msaada bhwa Roho j'ha yes Kristu.

For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

20 kul'hengana ni matajio ghangu ghabhuhakika ni ibhukweli ni kwamba, nibebhona lepisoni. Badala yiake, kwabhujasiri bhuoha, Kama ambavyo magono ghoha ni henu, nitarajila kuj'ha Kristu ibekuyinulibhwa mu mb'hele bhwangu, ikayelaye mu bhusima au mu kafwelelu.

According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.

21 kwa maana kwanene kuishi ni Kristu na kufwa ni faida.

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

22 lakini Kama kutama mu m'mb'hele wihogola litunda mu lihengu lyangu, kwahenu nd'hesi l'el'eku lya kuchagula.

But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labor: yet what I shall choose I know not.

23 Maana nisukumibhwa sana ni mawazo agha mab'hele. Niye ni hamu j'ha kuleka m'mb'hele ni kuj'ha pamonja ni Kristu, k'henu ambakyo ni kya thamani sanasana.

For I am in a strait between two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

24 Ingawa, kubakila mu m'mb'hele obho nik'henu kya mhimu sana kwa ndabha j'ha muenga.

Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

25 kwa kuj'ha niyele ni bhuhakika kwa ndabha j'ha e'le nimanyili nibhebakila nikuj'hendelela kuj'ha pamonja namu mwe bhoha, kwa ndabha j'ha maendeleo ni furaha j'ha muenga.

And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

26 Na e'le libeleta furaha j'ha muenga ibhaha mwa kristu Yesu, kwa ndabha j'ha kuj'ha kwa nene yibekuyongeseka, kwa ndabha kuj'ha kwa nene kabhele pamonja namu.

That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

27 Mwilondeka kutama maisha gha muenga mu mwenendo unofu ghwaghukayilonda injili j'lia Kristu. Mkhetayi mebhu ili nikahialayi kubhalanga au nikabelayi kuhiola, nip'helekai kuj'ha my'emili kinofu mu Roho yimonga. Natamani kup'eleka kuj'ha myele ni Roho yimonga, mkayikhomanela imani j'ha injili kwa pamonga.

Only let your conversation be as it becomes the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

28 msitisibhu ni k'henu kyokyok'hula kyakifwanyibhwa ni maadui bha muenga. Ey'e kwa bhene n'do ishara j'ha uharibifu. Bali kwa muenga n'do ishara j'ha bhwokovu kuh'oma kwa K'yara. kwa maana muenga mpelibhu kwa

And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

29 ndabha j'ha Kristu, sio kumwamini tu, bali ni kutesibhwa pia kwa muene.

For to you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

30 kwa maana muye ni ngondo y'elay'ela Kama kyamkayibhwene kwa nenga na mwip'eleka kuj'ha niyenabhu hata h'enu.

Having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
