Paul and Timothy servants of Christ Jesus To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are being in Philippi with [the] overseers and deacons:

always in every supplication of mine for all of you with joy the supplication making
5 mpo na lisungi na bino kati na mosala ya kopanza Sango Malamu, wuta na mokolo ya liboso kino sik’oyo.
for the partnership of you in the gospel from (the *no*) first day until now;
6 Nandimisami solo ete Ye oyo abandaki mosala kitoko oyo kati na bino akokomisa yango kino na suka, na mokolo ya Yesu-Klisto.
having been persuaded of [the] very thing this, that the [One] having begun in you a work good will complete [it] until [the] day of Christ Jesus;
7 Ezali sembo mpo na ngai kozala na makanisi ya lolenge oyo mpo na bino nyonso; solo, nalingaka bino mingi, pamba te bino nyonso bosanganaka makasi elongo na ngai kati na ngolu ya Nzambe, ezala tango nazali ya kokangama na minyololo kati na boloko to tango nazali kolobela mpe kotatola Sango Malamu na molende.
Even as it is right for me myself this to feel about all of you since having I in the heart you, in both the chains of mine and in the defense and in confirmation of the gospel fellow partakers with me of grace all you are.
8 Nzambe azali Motatoli na ngai ete nalingaka bino nyonso makasi, na bolingo ya Yesu-Klisto.
Witness for of mine (is *k*) God how I long after all you in [the] affection of Christ Jesus.
9 Mpe nasengaka kati na mabondeli na ngai ete bolingo na bino ekoba kokola tango nyonso kati na boyebi ya solo mpe na bososoli ya kokoka,
And this I pray, that the love of you yet more and more may abound in knowledge and in all discernment
10 mpo ete bokoka kososola makambo oyo eleki malamu. Na bongo, bokozala peto mpe bokozanga pamela mpo na mokolo ya Klisto,
for to approve you the [things] being excellent, so that you may be pure and blameless unto [the] day of Christ
11 bokotonda na mbuma ya bosembo oyo ewutaka na Yesu-Klisto, mpo na nkembo mpe lokumu ya Nzambe.
filled (with [the] fruit *N(K)O*) of righteousness (that [is] *N(k)O*) through Jesus Christ to [the] glory and praise of God.
12 Bandeko na ngai, nalingi boyeba ete makambo oyo ekomeli ngai esali penza ete Sango Malamu ekende liboso.
To know now you I want, brothers, that the [things] concerning me myself really to [the] advancement of the gospel have turned out,
13 Boye, bakengeli nyonso ya ndako ya mokonzi mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali awa bayebi ete nazali kati na boloko mpo na Klisto.
so as for the chains of mine clearly known in Christ to have become in all the palace guard and to the rest all
14 Mpe lisusu, kozala na ngai kati na boloko epesi na bandeko mingi kati na Nkolo molende ya kotia elikya kati na Nkolo mpe ya koteya Liloba na Nzambe, na mpiko mpe na bozangi bobangi.
and most of the brothers in [the] Lord already trusting by the chains of mine more abundantly to dare fearlessly the word (of the God *O*) to speak.
15 Ezali solo ete bamoko bazali kosakola Klisto mpo na zuwa mpe kowelana na ngai, kasi bamosusu bazali kosala yango na makanisi ya malamu:
Some indeed even from envy and strife, some however also from goodwill Christ are proclaiming.
16 bazali kosala na bolingo mpo bayebi ete ezali mpo na kotatola mpo na Sango Malamu nde ngai nazali awa.
the [ones] indeed out of love knowing that for defense of the gospel I am appointed;
17 Kasi mpo na ba-oyo bazali kosakola Klisto mpo na posa ya kowelana, makanisi na bango ezali ya malamu te: bazali kokanisa ndenge nini bakoki kobakisa pasi na ngai, na tango oyo nazali na pasi lokola mokangami kati na boloko.
the [ones] however out of selfish ambition Christ are proclaiming not purely supposing tribulation (to add *N(k)O*) to the chains of mine.
18 Ezala bongo to bongo te, eloko ya motuya ezali ete Klisto azali kosakolama, na lolenge nyonso, ezala na makanisi ya mabe to na bosolo; mpe ngai nazali kosepela mpo na yango. Kutu, nakokoba kosepela mpo na yango.
What then? Only (that *no*) in every way whether in pretext or in truth Christ is proclaimed, And in this I rejoice Yes and I will rejoice.
19 Nayebi solo ete, na nzela ya mabondeli na bino mpe ya lisungi ya Molimo ya Yesu-Klisto, makambo oyo ekomeli ngai ekosuka na kokangolama na ngai.
I know for that this for me will turn out to deliverance through your prayer and [the] provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ
20 Eloko nazali kozela makasi mpe kolikya na motema na ngai mobimba ezali ete nayokisama soni te ata na likambo moko, kasi Klisto akumisama kati na nzoto na ngai, sik’oyo mpe tango nyonso, na elikya nyonso, ezala na nzela ya bomoi na ngai to na nzela ya kufa na ngai.
according to the earnest expectation and hope of mine that in no [thing] I will be ashamed but in all boldness as always also now will be magnified Christ in the body of mine, whether through life or through death.
21 Mpo na ngai, kosalela Klisto, yango nde tina ya bomoi na ngai; mpe kokufa ezali litomba.
To me myself for to live [is] Christ and to die [is] gain.
22 Nzokande, soki kokoba na ngai kobika kati na mokili ekopesaka ngai nzela ya kobota bambuma ebele ya malamu na nzela ya mosala na ngai, nayebi te nini nasengeli kopona.
If [I am] however to live in flesh, this for me [is the] fruit of labor; And what will I choose Not I know!
23 Makambo mibale ezali kobenda ngai ngambo na ngambo: na ngambo moko, kokufa mpo na kozala elongo na Klisto, pamba te yango nde eleki malamu;
I am pressed (now *N(k)O*) between the two, the desire having for [myself] to depart and with Christ to be, very much (for *no*) more better;
24 na ngambo mosusu, kowumela kati na nzoto, pamba te yango nde eleki na tina likolo na bino.
but to remain in the flesh [is] more necessary for the sake of you.
25 Lokola nandimisami na yango, nayebi malamu ete nakowumela mpe nakokoba kozala kati na bino nyonso, mpo na kosunga ete bokola mpe bosepela kati na kondima.
And this having been persuaded of I know that I will remain and (will continue *N(k)O*) with all of you for your progress and joy of the faith,
26 Boye, tango nakozala lisusu elongo na bino, lolendo na bino kati na Yesu-Klisto ekobakisama lisusu mpo na ngai.
so that the boasting of you may abound to Christ Jesus in me myself through my coming again to you.
27 Kasi botambola na lolenge oyo ebongi liboso ya Sango Malamu ya Klisto mpo ete, ezala nayei kotala bino to nayei te, nayoka sango ete botelemi ngwi mpe bosangani lokola moto moko, bozali kobunda elongo, na motema moko, mpo na kobatela kondima oyo Sango Malamu ememelaki bino,
Only worthily of the gospel of Christ do conduct yourselves, so that whether having come and having seen you or being absent (I shall hear *N(k)O*) the [things] concerning you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,
28 na kolenga te liboso ya banguna na bino. Mpo na bango, ezali elembo ya libebi; kasi mpo na bino, ezali elembo ya lobiko, mpe ewutaka na Nzambe.
and not being frightened in nothing by those opposing [you]; which is to them (indeed *k*) a demonstration of destruction, (to you *N(k)O*) however of salvation, and this from God;
29 Mpo na oyo etali Klisto, Nzambe apesaki bino ngolu kaka te ya kondimela Ye, kasi ngolu mpe ya konyokwama mpo na Ye,
For to you it has been granted concerning Christ, not only in Him to believe, but also concerning Him to suffer
30 pamba te bozali nde kobunda etumba ya lolenge moko na oyo bomonaki ngai kobunda mpe oyo bozali koyoka ete nazali lisusu kobunda sik’oyo.
the same conflict having such as (you saw *N(k)O*) in me myself and now you hear of in me myself.
