Abafiripi 4
1 Kale, baganda bange abaagalwa, era be nnumirirwa omwoyo, mmwe ssanyu lyange era mmwe ngule yange; noolwekyo abaagalwa, muyimirire mu Mukama waffe.
Therefore, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved.
2 Ewudiya ne Sintuke mbeegayirira mukkiriziganye mu Mukama waffe.
I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, that they 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 entreat thee also, true yoke-fellow, give them aid; since they labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow-laborers, 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 it, rejoice.
5 Era mubeere n’okuzibiikiriza eri abantu bonna. Mukama waffe, ali kumpi.
Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Temweraliikiriranga kintu na kimu, wabula mu buli kintu mu kusabanga ne mu kwegayiriranga awamu n’okwebazanga, mutegeezenga Katonda bye mwetaaga.
Be anxious 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 passeth all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in 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.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Ebyo bye mwayiga, n’ebyo bye mwafuna ne muwulira, ebyo mubirowoozengako.
The things which ye learned, and received, and heard, and saw in me, these do; and the God of peace will 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 at length ye have revived again in your care for my welfare; for which indeed ye cared before, but lacked opportunity.
11 Soogera kino olwokubanga Ndiko kye nneetaaga, kubanga mu buli mbeera gye mbaamu nayiga okumalibwanga.
Not that I speak on account of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, therewith to be content.
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 how to be abased, and I know also how to abound; in every thing and in all things I have been well taught, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want;
13 Nnyinza okukola byonna mu oyo ampa amaanyi.
I can do all things in him who strengtheneth me.
14 Kyokka mukola bulungi okulumirirwa awamu nange mu kubonaabona kwange.
Notwithstanding, ye did well in sharing with me in my distress.
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 ye yourselves also know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I went forth from Macedonia, no church communicated with me in an account of giving and receiving, but ye only;
16 Kubanga ddala ddala bwe nnali mu Sessaloniika mwampeereza emirundi ebiri.
for even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again to my necessity.
17 Soogera kino lwa kubanga njagala okufuna ekirabo, wabula kye njagala kwe kulaba ng’ekibala kyeyongera ku lwammwe.
Not that I seek for such a gift, but I do seek for fruit that may abound 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, and abound; I am full, having received from Epaphroditus what was sent from you, a sweet odor, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.
19 Kale ne Katonda wange alibawa buli kye mwetaaga ng’obugagga bwe obungi obuli mu Kristo Yesu bwe buli.
But my God will supply all your need according to his riches in glory, in Christ Jesus.
Now to God, our Father, be glory for ever. 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, but especially they who are of Caesar's household.
23 Ekisa kya Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo kibeerenga nammwe. Amiina.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
