Filipiana 1
1 Paoly sy Timoty, mpanompon’ i Kristy Jesosy, mamangy ny olona masìna rehetra ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy mbamin’ ny mpitandrina sy ny diakona izay any Filipy;
Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the holy ones in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and servants:
2 ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
3 Misaotra an’ Andriamanitro amin’ ny fahatsiarovako anareo
I give thanks to my God on all the remembrance of you,
4 mandrakariva aho amin’ ny fivavahako rehetra ho anareo rehetra, ka mangataka amin’ ny fifaliana,
always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication,
5 noho ny firaisanareo hampandroso ny filazantsara hatramin’ ny andro voalohany ka mandraka ankehitriny;
for your contribution to the good news from the first day until now,
6 ary matoky indrindra aho fa Izay nanomboka asa tsara ao anatinareo no hahatanteraka izany mandra-pihavin’ ny andron’ i Jesosy Kristy;
having been confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you, will complete [it] until [the] day of Jesus Christ,
7 fa marina izany fiheverako anareo rehetra izany, satria efa mby ato am-poko ianareo, fa mpiombona ny fahasoavana ananako ianareo rehetra, na amin’ ny fifatorako, na amin’ ny famaliako hahafa-tsiny ny filazantsara sy ny fampianarako hahamafy orina azy.
according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and [in] the defense and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.
8 Fa Andriamanitra no vavolombeloko fa manina anareo rehetra indrindra aho amin’ ny famindram-pon’ i Kristy Jesosy.
For God is my witness, how I long for you all with [the] yearnings of Jesus Christ,
9 Ary izao no angatahiko, dia ny mbola hitomboan’ ny fitiavanareo bebe kokoa amin’ ny fahalalana tsara sy ny fahafantarana rehetra,
and this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge, and all discernment,
10 mba hamantaranareo izay zavatra tsara indrindra, mba ho madio am-po ary tsy hanan-tsiny ho amin’ ny andron’ i Kristy ianareo,
for your proving the things that differ, that you may be pure and offenseless—to [the] Day of Christ,
11 sady feno ny vokatry ny fahamarinana, izay avy amin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy, ho voninahitra sy fiderana an’ Andriamanitra.
being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that [is] through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Ary tiako ho fantatrareo, ry rahalahy, fa izay zavatra nanjo ahy dia efa tonga fampandrosoana ny filazantsara kosa;
And I intend you to know, brothers, that the things concerning me, rather have come to an advancement of the good news,
13 ka ao amin’ i Kristy ny fifatorako dia fantatry ny mpiambina andriana rehetra mbamin’ ny olona hafa rehetra;
so that my bonds have become evident in Christ in the whole Praetorium, and to all the other places,
14 ary ny ankabiazan’ ny rahalahy dia efa matoky ao amin’ ny Tompo noho ny fifatorako ka mihasahisahy kokoa hitory ny tenin’ Andriamanitra tsy amin’ ny tahotra.
and the greater part of the brothers in the LORD, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold to fearlessly speak the word.
15 Fialonana sy fifandirana aza no itorian’ ny sasany an’ i Kristy, ary fifaliana kosa ny an’ ny sasany;
Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through goodwill, preach the Christ;
16 fitiavana ny an’ ny sasany, satria fantany fa voatendry ho mpanafa-tsiny ny filazantsara aho;
one, indeed, of rivalry proclaims the Christ, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds,
17 fifampiandaniana kosa no itorian’ ny sasany an’ i Kristy, fa tsy mba fo madio, ka mihevitra hanampy fahoriana ny fifatorako.
and the other out of love, having known that I am set for defense of the good news:
18 Ahoana ary no izy, afa-tsy izao? Amin’ ny atao rehetra, na amin’ ny fihatsaram-belatsihy, na amin’ ny marina, dia Kristy no torina, ary mifaly amin’ izany aho; eny, mbola hifaly ihany aho.
what then? In every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed—and I rejoice in this, indeed, and will rejoice.
19 Fa fantatro fa ho tonga famonjena ahy izany noho ny fangatahanareo sy ny fanomezana ny Fanahin’ i Jesosy Kristy,
For I have known that this will turn out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,
20 araka ny hafatratry ny faniriako sy ny fanantenako fa tsy hahazo henatra aho, na amin’ inona na amin’ inona; fa amin’ ny fahasahiana rehetra, tahaka ny amin’ ny mandrakariva, dia ankehitriny koa no hankalazana an’ i Kristy ao amin’ ny tenako, na amin’ ny fiainana, na amin’ ny fahafatesana.
according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will be ashamed in nothing, and in all freedom, as always, also Christ will now be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,
21 Fa Kristy no anton’ ny ahavelomako, ary ny fahafatesana no hahazoako tombony.
for to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.
22 Kanefa raha ny ho velona amin’ ny nofo no hahavokaran’ ny asako, dia tsy hitako izay hofidiko;
And if to live in the flesh [is] to me a fruit of work, then what will I choose? I do not know;
23 fa sanganehana eo anelanelan’ izy roroa aho, maniry hiala ka ho ao amin’ i Kristy, satria tsara lavitra izany;
for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,
24 kanefa kosa ny hitoetra eo amin’ ny nofo no mahasoa anareo kokoa.
and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,
25 Ary satria matoky izany aho, dia fantatro fa hitoetra sy haharitra eo aminareo rehetra aho hahazoanareo fandrosoana sy fifaliana amin’ ny finoanareo,
and being persuaded of this, I have known that I will remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,
26 mba hitombo noho ny ataoko ny firavoravoanareo ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy amin’ ny hankanesako atỳ aminareo indray.
that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my coming again to you.
27 Fa hany ataoko: aoka ny fitondran-tenanareo ho miendrika ny filazantsaran’ i Kristy, mba handrenesako ny toetrareo (na ho tonga aho ka hahita anareo, na tsy ho tonga), fa maharitra amin’ ny fanahy iray ianareo ka miray fo hiara-miezaka hampandroso ny finoana ny filazantsara,
Only conduct yourselves worthily of the good news of the Christ, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,
28 ka tsy ho azon’ ny fahavalo ampitahorina ianareo na amin’ inona na amin’ inona; fa amin’ ireo dia mariky ny fahaverezana izany, nefa mariky ny famonjena anareo kosa, sady avy amin’ Andriamanitra.
and not be terrified in anything by those opposing, which is indeed a token of destruction to them, and to you of salvation, and that from God;
29 Fa ianareo efa nomena noho ny an’ i Kristy, tsy ny hino Azy ihany, fa ny hiharam-pahoriana koa noho ny aminy,
because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on behalf of Him;
30 dia manana izany ady izany ianareo, izay hitanareo teo amiko sady mbola renareo fa ato amiko ihany ankehitriny.
having the same conflict, such as you saw in me, and now hear of in me.
