Bafilipi 4
1 Yango wana, bandeko mpe balingami na ngai, bino oyo nazali na posa makasi ya komona lisusu, bino oyo bozali esengo mpe motole na ngai, botikala ngwi kati na Nkolo.
THEREFORE, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
2 Nasengi na Evodi mpe na Sentishe ete bazala na makanisi moko kati na Nkolo.
I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
3 Solo, nasengi lisusu na yo moninga na ngai ya motema kati na mosala: sunga basi oyo, pamba te babundaki mpo na Sango Malamu, elongo na ngai, Klema mpe baninga mosusu ya mosala oyo bakombo na bango ekomama kati na buku ya bomoi.
And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Bosepelaka tango nyonso kati na Nkolo; nazongeli yango lisusu: bosepelaka!
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Tika ete boboto na bino eyebana na bato nyonso. Nkolo akomi pene.
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Bomitungisaka ata na likambo moko te; kasi na makambo nyonso, botalisaka baposa na bino epai ya Nzambe na nzela ya losambo, ya mabondeli elongo na matondi.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 Bongo kimia ya Nzambe, oyo eleki bososoli nyonso ekobatela mitema na bino mpe makanisi na bino kati na Yesu-Klisto.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Bandeko, mpo na kosukisa, tika ete makambo nyonso oyo ezali ya solo, kitoko, sembo, peto, makambo oyo bato bakoki kolinga, kosepela na yango, kolula mpe kokumisa ezala tina ya makanisi na bino.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Bosalela makambo nyonso oyo boyekolaki, bozwaki, boyokaki mpe bomonaki epai na ngai; bongo Nzambe ya kimia akozala elongo na bino.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
10 Nazalaki penza na esengo mingi kati na Nkolo, wana botalisaki ngai lisusu bolingo na bino. Solo, bozalaki kokanisa kosunga ngai, kasi bozangaki nde libaku mpo na kokokisa yango.
But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
11 Nalobi bongo te mpo ete nazali kokelela, pamba te nayekola kosepela na oyo nazali na yango.
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12 Nayebi kobika na tango ya kokelela, mpe nayebi kobika na tango ya bozwi. Kati na makambo nyonso mpe na tango nyonso, nayekola kozala na esengo: ezala soki nazali na bilei to nazangi yango, ezala soki nazali na bozwi to nakeleli.
I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 Nazali na makoki ya kosala makambo nyonso na nzela na Ye oyo apesaka ngai makasi.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
14 Nzokande bosalaki malamu, wana bosanganaki na pasi na ngai.
Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
15 Bino bato ya Filipi, boyebi malamu ete, na ebandeli ya mosala na ngai ya koteya Sango Malamu, wana nalongwaki na Masedwane, ata Lingomba moko te esanganaki na ngai na nzela ya lisungi, longola kaka bino.
Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
16 Tango mpe nazalaki na Tesalonika, botindelaki ngai mbala mibale lisungi ya biloko oyo nazalaki na yango na bosenga.
For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
17 Ezali te ete nazali koluka makabo kowuta epai na bino, kasi nazali koluka ete bambuma ya bolamu na bino efuluka lisusu koleka.
Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
18 Natatoli ete nasili kozwa biloko ebele penza mpe nakomi na yango ebele koleka, awa nazwi, na maboko ya Epafrodite, makabo oyo botindelaki ngai; yango ezali lokola malasi ya solo kitoko, mbeka oyo Nzambe andimi mpe oyo ezali kosepelisa Ye.
But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
19 Mpe Nzambe na ngai akokokisa baposa na bino kolanda bomengo ya nkembo na Ye kati na Yesu-Klisto.
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
20 Tika ete nkembo ezonga mpo na libela na libela epai na Nzambe oyo azali Tata na biso! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Bopesa mbote epai ya basantu nyonso kati na Yesu-Klisto. Bandeko oyo bazali awa elongo na ngai batindeli bino mbote.
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.
22 Basantu nyonso batindeli bino mbote, mingi-mingi ba-oyo bazali ya ndako ya mokonzi Sezare.
All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Cæsar’s household.
23 Tika ete ngolu ya Nkolo Yesu-Klisto ezala elongo na molimo na bino!
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. It was written to the Philippians from Rome by Epaphroditus.
