Abafiripi 4
1 Kale, baganda bange abaagalwa, era be nnumirirwa omwoyo, mmwe ssanyu lyange era mmwe ngule yange; noolwekyo abaagalwa, muyimirire mu Mukama waffe.
So that, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, thus stand fast in [the] Lord, beloved.
2 Ewudiya ne Sintuke mbeegayirira mukkiriziganye mu Mukama waffe.
I exhort Euodia, and exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in [the] Lord;
3 Era ggwe mukozi munnange, nkusaba oyambenga abakazi abo, kubanga baakolera wamu nange omulimu gw’okubunyisa Enjiri. Abo awamu ne Kerementi, era ne bakozi bannange abalala, amannya gaabwe gawandiikiddwa mu kitabo ky’obulamu.
yea, I ask thee also, true yokefellow, assist them, who have contended along with me in the glad tidings, with Clement also, and my other fellow-labourers, whose names [are] in [the] book of life.
4 Musanyukirenga mu Mukama waffe bulijjo. Nziramu okubagamba nti musanyukenga.
Rejoice in [the] Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.
5 Era mubeere n’okuzibiikiriza eri abantu bonna. Mukama waffe, ali kumpi.
Let your gentleness be known of all men. The Lord [is] near.
6 Temweraliikiriranga kintu na kimu, wabula mu buli kintu mu kusabanga ne mu kwegayiriranga awamu n’okwebazanga, mutegeezenga Katonda bye mwetaaga.
Be careful about nothing; but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
7 N’emirembe gya Katonda, egisukkiridde okutegeera kwammwe ginaabakuumanga amagezi gammwe n’emitima gyammwe mu Kristo Yesu.
and the peace of God, which surpasses every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus.
8 Eky’enkomerero, abooluganda, mulowoozenga ku buli kya mazima, na buli ekisiimibwa na buli kya butuukirivu, na buli kirongoofu, na buli kyagalibwa, na buli kyogerwako obulungi, era bwe wabangawo ekirungi oba bwe wabangawo ettendo, ebyo mubirowoozengako.
For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things [are] true, whatsoever things [are] noble, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] amiable, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue and if any praise, think on these things.
9 Ebyo bye mwayiga, n’ebyo bye mwafuna ne muwulira, ebyo mubirowoozengako.
What ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these things do; and the God of peace shall be with you.
10 Nasanyuka nnyo mu Mukama waffe, kubanga kaakano oluvannyuma lw’ebbanga muzzeemu okundowoozaako buggya, kubanga mwali munzisaako nnyo omwoyo, naye temwalina mukisa ku kiraga.
But I rejoiced in [the] Lord greatly, that now however at length ye have revived your thinking of me, though surely ye did also think [of me], but lacked opportunity.
11 Soogera kino olwokubanga Ndiko kye nneetaaga, kubanga mu buli mbeera gye mbaamu nayiga okumalibwanga.
Not that I speak as regards privation, for as to me I have learnt in those circumstances in which I am, to be satisfied in myself.
12 Mmanyi okubeera nga sirina kantu, era mmanyi okuba nga nnina buli kimu. Mu buli ngeri ne mu bintu byonna nayiga ekyama ekiri mu kukkusibwa ne mu kuba omuyala, mu kuba n’ebingi ne mu bwetaavu.
I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound. In everything and in all things I am initiated both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer privation.
13 Nnyinza okukola byonna mu oyo ampa amaanyi.
I have strength for all things in him that gives me power.
14 Kyokka mukola bulungi okulumirirwa awamu nange mu kubonaabona kwange.
But ye have done well in taking part in my affliction.
15 Mmwe, Abafiripi, mumanyi nti bwe nava e Makedoniya nga nakatandika okubuulira Enjiri, tewali Kkanisa n’emu eyampaayo akantu olw’ebyo bye yafuna okuggyako mmwe mwekka.
And know also ye, O Philippians, that in [the] beginning of the gospel, when I came out of Macedonia, no assembly communicated [anything] to me in [the] way of giving and receiving save ye alone;
16 Kubanga ddala ddala bwe nnali mu Sessaloniika mwampeereza emirundi ebiri.
for also in Thessalonica once and even twice ye sent to me for my need.
17 Soogera kino lwa kubanga njagala okufuna ekirabo, wabula kye njagala kwe kulaba ng’ekibala kyeyongera ku lwammwe.
Not that I seek gift, but I seek fruit abounding to your account.
18 Naye kaakano nfunye bingi okusinga bye neetaaga, kino kisinzidde mu ebyo bye mwampeereza, Epafuladito bye yandeetera. Biri ng’akaloosa akalungi ennyo aka ssaddaaka esanyusa era esiimibwa Katonda.
But I have all things in full supply and abound; I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things [sent] from you, an odour of sweet savour, an acceptable sacrifice, agreeable to God.
19 Kale ne Katonda wange alibawa buli kye mwetaaga ng’obugagga bwe obungi obuli mu Kristo Yesu bwe buli.
But my God shall abundantly supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
But to our God and Father [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Munnamusize buli mutukuvu mu Kristo Yesu; era n’abooluganda abali wano nange babalamusizza.
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who [are] with me salute you.
22 Era n’abatukuvu bonna babatumidde, naye okusingira ddala abo abali mu lubiri lwa Kayisaali.
All the saints salute you, and specially those of the household of Caesar.
23 Ekisa kya Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo kibeerenga nammwe. Amiina.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen.
