Philippi 1

1 Ma sel Paul ac Timothy, mwet kulansap lun Christ Jesus — Nu sin mwet nukewa lun God in church Philippi su asruoki nu sin Christ Jesus, wi pac mwet kol lun church ac mwet kasru lalos:

Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the holy ones in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and servants:

2 Lungkulang ac misla nu suwos sin God Papa tumasr, ac Leum Jesus Christ.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

3 Nga sang kulo nu sin God luk pacl nukewa ma nga nunku keiwos;

I give thanks to my God on all the remembrance of you,

4 ac pacl nukewa nga pre keiwos nga pre wi engan,

always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication,

5 ke sripen kasreyuk su kowos oru nu sik ke orekma lun Wosasu ke mutawauk me nwe misenge.

for your contribution to the good news from the first day until now,

6 Nga etu suwohs lah God, su mutawauk orekma wo se inge in kowos, El ac fah tafwela nwe ke safla ke Len lun Christ Jesus.

having been confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you, will complete [it] until [the] day of Jesus Christ,

7 Kowos oan in nunak luk pacl nukewa! Ke ma inge fal nga in pulakin ouinge in nunak luk keiwos. Tuh kowos nukewa wiyu ipeis ke mwe insewowo su God El ase nu sik, in pacl se inge ke nga muta in presin, oayapa ke pacl nga tuh sukosok ac nga topuk kas nukewa lun mwet su lain Wosasu, ac nga tuh orekma in akkeye lulalfongi lun mwet kac tuh in oakwuki ku insialos.

according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and [in] the defense and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.

8 God El etu lah nga kas na pwaye ke nga fahk mu lungse luk keiwos nukewa tuku liki insien Christ Jesus sifacna.

For God is my witness, how I long for you all with [the] yearnings of Jesus Christ,

9 Nga pre tuh lungse su oan in kowos in yokyokelik in pacl e nukewa, tuh etauk lowos in pwaye ac nununku lowos in suwohs,

and this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge, and all discernment,

10 ac kowos fah ku in akilen ma su arulana wo. Na kowos fah nasnas ac wangin mwatuwos ke Len lun Christ.

for your proving the things that differ, that you may be pure and offenseless—to [the] Day of Christ,

11 Moul lowos ac fah sessesla ke ouiya wowo su Jesus Christ mukena ku in ase, nu ke wolana ac mwe kaksak nu sin God.

being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that [is] through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

12 Mwet lili, nga ke kowos in etu lah ma su sikyak nu sik uh arulana kasru yokyokelik lun Wosasu.

And I intend you to know, brothers, that the things concerning me, rather have come to an advancement of the good news,

13 Ke sripa se inge mwet mweun su karingin lohm sin Tokosra Fulat ac mwet nukewa yenu elos etu lah nga muta in kapir mweyen nga mwet kulansap lun Christ.

so that my bonds have become evident in Christ in the whole Praetorium, and to all the other places,

14 Ac muta luk in presin uh oru tuh mwet pus wiasr in lulalfongi, yokelik finsrak lalos in Leum, na pacl nukewa elos pulaik in fahkak pweng wo sac ac tia sangeng.

and the greater part of the brothers in the LORD, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold to fearlessly speak the word.

15 Pwaye lah oasr kutu mwet fahkak Christ mweyen elos sok ac folkas, a kutu fahkulak ke inse na pwaye.

Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through goodwill, preach the Christ;

16 Elos inge oru ke lungse pwaye lalos, mweyen elos etu lah God El ase tuh in ma kunuk in akfahsrye Wosasu.

one, indeed, of rivalry proclaims the Christ, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds,

17 Mwet saya uh tiana fahkak Christ ke inse pwaye, a ke ngunin nunku kac sifacna. Elos nunku mu elos ac akyokyelik ma upa nu sik ke nga muta in kapir.

and the other out of love, having known that I am set for defense of the good news:

18 Mansis in ouinge! Nga engan kac. Ma sefanna ma yohk sripa uh pa mwet uh in fahkulak Christ ke kutena ouiya ma ku in lutiyuk kac, finne ma ke nunak wo ku ke nunak koluk. Nga srakna insewowo,

what then? In every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed—and I rejoice in this, indeed, and will rejoice.

19 mweyen nga etu lah ke sripen pre lowos, ac ke sripen kasru su tuku sin Ngun lun Jesus Christ, ac fah aksukosokyeyuk nga.

For I have known that this will turn out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,

20 Ma se nga kena ac yohk finsrak luk nu kac oemeet pa nga in tiana fuhleak in oru ma kunuk, a nga in sessesla ke pulaik in pacl nukewa, yohkna nu ke pacl se inge, tuh moul luk nufon in mwe akfulatye Christ, nga finne moul, ku misa.

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will be ashamed in nothing, and in all freedom, as always, also Christ will now be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,

21 Tuh mea kalmen moul uh? Nu sik, kalmac pa in kulansupu Christ. Ac misa, mwe akyokyelik ma wo uh.

for to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.

22 Nga fin ku in moul paht na, ac srakna ku in oru kutu orekma ma ac oasr sripa, na nga tia etu lah pia kac ma nga ac sulela.

And if to live in the flesh [is] to me a fruit of work, then what will I choose? I do not know;

23 Nga nikanla inmasrlon ma luo inge. Nga kena yohk tuh nga in som liki moul se inge ac muta yurin Christ, su pa inge ma se ma ac arulana wo nu sik uh.

for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,

24 Tusruktu ke sripowos, ac arulana yohk sripa nga in moulwin.

and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,

25 Ke sripen arulana kalem sik lah ouinge, nga etu lah nga ac moulna. Nga ac fah wi kowos nukewa in akyokyelik kapkapak lowos ac engan in lulalfongi lowos.

and being persuaded of this, I have known that I will remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,

26 Na nga fin sifil fahsrot nu yuruwos, ac fah yohk sripen konkin lowos keik liki meet, ke moul in asruoki lowos yurin Christ Jesus.

that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my coming again to you.

27 Inge ma se ma oa uh pa ouiyen moul lowos in fal nu ke Pweng Wo ke Christ, na nga finne fahsrot nu yuruwos ku tia, nga fah lohng mu kowos tu na ku ke nunak sefanna, ac insese in tukeni kwafeang in orekma ke sripen lulalfongi fal nu ke Wosasu.

Only conduct yourselves worthily of the good news of the Christ, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,

28 Nik kowos sangeng sin mwet lokoalok lowos; a kowos in pulaik pacl nukewa, ac ma inge ac fah akpwayei nu selos lah elos ac munas, ac kowos fah kutangla, mweyen God pa asot kutangla nu suwos.

and not be terrified in anything by those opposing, which is indeed a token of destruction to them, and to you of salvation, and that from God;

29 Tuh ke sripen kulang lun God, itukot nu suwos tuh kowos in kulansapu Christ, tia ke lulalfongi mukena, a ke kowos ac keok pac kacl.

because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on behalf of Him;

30 Inge kowos ku in wiyu mweun. Nuna mweun se na ma kowos liye nga mweuni in pacl meet, ac kowos lohng pac lah nga srakna mweuni.

having the same conflict, such as you saw in me, and now hear of in me.
