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.
Wherefore, my brethren, beloved and much desired, my joy and crown, thus stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
2 Nasengi na Evodi mpe na Sentishe ete bazala na makanisi moko kati na Nkolo.
I beseech Euodia and Syntyche, to 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.
Nay, I entreat you, also, my faithful colleague, assist those women who have labored with me in the gospel, with Clement; and my other fellowlaborers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Bosepelaka tango nyonso kati na Nkolo; nazongeli yango lisusu: bosepelaka!
Rejoice in the Lord always: I say again, Rejoice.
5 Tika ete boboto na bino eyebana na bato nyonso. Nkolo akomi pene.
Let your moderation be known to all men: the Lord is nigh.
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 anxious about nothing; but in everything 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 surpasses all understanding, will guard 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, whatever things are true, whatever things are venerable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are benevolent, whatever things are of good fame; if there be any virtue, and if any praise be due, attentively consider these things;
9 Bosalela makambo nyonso oyo boyekolaki, bozwaki, boyokaki mpe bomonaki epai na ngai; bongo Nzambe ya kimia akozala elongo na bino.
those, also, which you have learned, and received, and heard, and seen with me, practice; and the God of peace will 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 rejoice greatly in the Lord, that now at length you have made your care of me to flourish again; for whom indeed, you were careful, but you had not an opportunity.
11 Nalobi bongo te mpo ete nazali kokelela, pamba te nayekola kosepela na oyo nazali na yango.
Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, 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 what it is to be straitened; I know what it is to abound. Everywhere, and by all means, I am silently taught what it is to be full, and to be hungry; to abound, and to suffer want.
13 Nazali na makoki ya kosala makambo nyonso na nzela na Ye oyo apesaka ngai makasi.
I can do all things, through him who strengthens me.
14 Nzokande bosalaki malamu, wana bosanganaki na pasi na ngai.
Nevertheless, you have done well in sympathizing 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.
Moreover, you Philippians also know, that, in the beginning of my labors in the gospel, when I departed for Macedonia, no congregation communicated with me, by giving and receiving, but you only;
16 Tango mpe nazalaki na Tesalonika, botindelaki ngai mbala mibale lisungi ya biloko oyo nazalaki na yango na bosenga.
that, also, when in Thessalonica, you sent once; yes, twice, to relieve 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 that I earnestly seek the fruit, which abounds 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 received all, and abound; I have been fully supplied, having received by Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a fragrant odor, a sacrifice accepted; well pleasing to God.
19 Mpe Nzambe na ngai akokokisa baposa na bino kolanda bomengo ya nkembo na Ye kati na Yesu-Klisto.
But my God will fully supply all your wants, according to his riches in glory, through Christ Jesus.
20 Tika ete nkembo ezonga mpo na libela na libela epai na Nzambe oyo azali Tata na biso! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Now, to God, even 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 who are with me salute you.
22 Basantu nyonso batindeli bino mbote, mingi-mingi ba-oyo bazali ya ndako ya mokonzi Sezare.
All the saints salute you, but especially those of Caesar's household.
23 Tika ete ngolu ya Nkolo Yesu-Klisto ezala elongo na molimo na bino!
The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
