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 Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
2 Lungkulang ac misla nu suwos sin God Papa tumasr, ac Leum Jesus Christ.
Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Nga sang kulo nu sin God luk pacl nukewa ma nga nunku keiwos;
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
4 ac pacl nukewa nga pre keiwos nga pre wi engan,
Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
5 ke sripen kasreyuk su kowos oru nu sik ke orekma lun Wosasu ke mutawauk me nwe misenge.
For your fellowship in the gospel 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.
Being confident of this very thing, that he who hath begun a good work in you, will perform [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.
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, ye all are partakers of my 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 greatly I long after you all in the bowels 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 knowledge and [in] all judgment;
10 ac kowos fah ku in akilen ma su arulana wo. Na kowos fah nasnas ac wangin mwatuwos ke Len lun Christ.
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offense till 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 fruits of righteousness, which are by 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.
But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things [which happened] to me have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel;
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 in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all 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 many of the brethren in the Lord, becoming confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Pwaye lah oasr kutu mwet fahkak Christ mweyen elos sok ac folkas, a kutu fahkulak ke inse na pwaye.
Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife; and some also from good will.
16 Elos inge oru ke lungse pwaye lalos, mweyen elos etu lah God El ase tuh in ma kunuk in akfahsrye Wosasu.
The one preach Christ from contention, not sincerely, 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.
But the other from love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel.
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? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yes, 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 know that this will turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
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 in nothing I shall be ashamed, but [that] with all boldness, as always, [so] now also, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by 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.
But if I live in the flesh, this [is] the fruit of my labor: yet what I shall choose I know not.
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 in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
24 Tusruktu ke sripowos, ac arulana yohk sripa nga in moulwin.
Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh [is] more needful for you.
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 having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of 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 rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.
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 let your manner of life be as it 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 mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
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 in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but 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.
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 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 which ye saw in me, [and] now hear [to be] in me.
