Bhapilipi 1
1 Nne a Pauli na a Timoteo, bhatumishi bha a Yeshu Kilishitu, tunakunnjandishilanga mmanganya bhandu bha ukonjelo bha ku Pilipi nnundenenje na a Kilishitu, pamo na ashikalongolele na bhatumishi bha likanisha.
Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus that are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
2 Nema na ulele ikopoka kwa Atati a Nnungu na ku Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu ibhe na mmanganyanji.
grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu bhangu kila pungunkumbushilanga.
I thank my God on every remembrance of you―
4 Kila pungunnjujilanga mmowe, ngunajuga kwa angalala,
always in every supplication of mine for you all, making my supplication with joy―
5 kwa ligongo lya nyangutila kwenunji nkulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone, kuumila lyubha lya tandubha lila, mpaka lelo.
for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day till now:
6 Na nne ngunakulupalila kuti a Nnungu bhatandwibhe liengo lya mmbone mmitima jenunji, shibhapunde tenda na maliya mpaka lyubha lya bhuja a Yeshu Kilishitu.
being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun a good work in you, will carry it on till the day of Jesus Christ;
7 Nneyo peyo, ngunaapinjikwa kunnganishiyanga mmanganyanji mmowe, pabha munninginji muntima gwangu. Numbe nshinyangutilanga na nkali nnaino ndabhilwe ino, na ata punaaliji nganabhe tabhwa, nnema jibhambele a Nnungu jila, ja bheleketela na kong'ondela Ngani ja Mmbone.
as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I say I have you in my heart; both in my bonds and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel, I say I have you all in my heart as being joint partakers of my grace.
8 A Nnungu ni bhaakong'ondela bhangu, shinguti lokolila kummonanga malinga a Yeshu Kilishitu shibhampinjilenje kwa kaje.
For God is my witness how ardently I love you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9 Kujuga kwangu ni akuno, kuti, kupinga kwenunji kupunde jenjesheka kwa kaje nnunda na nnumanyiyo lowe,
I also pray for this, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all understanding,
10 nkupinga nng'agulanje indu ya mmbone. Penepo shimmanganje na mitima ja mmbone, gwangali gambwa shoshowe mpaka lyubha lya bhuja a Kilishitu.
in order that you may distinguish things that differ, to the end that you may be pure and blameless till the day of Christ,
11 Akuno nngumbeywenje indu ya mmbone, ishibhampanganje a Yeshu Kilishitu bhayene, kwa ligongo lya ukonjelo na iniywa kwa a Nnungu.
being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which fruit is by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Bhai ashaalongo ajangunji, ngunapinga mmumanyanje kuti, gowe gambatile gala gashinkunyangutila nkujeneya Ngani ja Mmbone.
But I wish you to know, brethren, that the things which have befallen me have turned out rather to the advancement of the gospel;
13 Kwa lyene ligongolyo, bhalinda bhowe na bhandunji bhana bhowe apano bhamumanyinji kuti, kutabhwa kwangu ni kwa ligongo lya kwaatumishila a Kilishitu.
so that my bonds which are for Christ have become known to be such in all the palace, and in all other places;
14 Bhai, kwa ligongo lya tabhwa kwangu, kushikwaatendanga ashaalongo ajangunji bhabhagwinji bhaakulupalilanje Bhakulungwa, mpaka nitumbililanga kulunguya ntenga gwa a Nnungu gwangali bhoga.
and most of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence in my bonds, are more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Kweli, bhananji bhanalunguyanga ngani ja a Kilishitu kwa ligongo lya lupimililo na nngomo, ikabheje bhananji kwa ndumbililo ya mmbone.
Some, indeed, preach the Christ, because of envy and a contentious disposition, and some because of good-will.
16 Bhakwetenje ndumbililo ya mmbone, bhanatendanga nneyo kwa ntima gwa pinga, numbe bhamumanyinji kuti njitabhwa, pabha a Nnungu bhashimba liengo lya bheleketela Ngani ja Mmbone.
These do it from love, because they know that I am set for the defense of the gospel;
17 Ikabhe bhananji bhanakwalunguyanga a Kilishitu kwa nngomo na wala nngabha kwa ntima gwa uguja, bhaliganishiyanga kuti, shibhanyenjesheyanje mboteko nkutabhwa kwangu.
those preach Christ from a contentious disposition, not sincerely, thinking that they will add affliction to my bonds.
18 Igala nndi! Nne ngunaangalala ibhaga bhandu bhanakwalunguyanga a Kilishitu momowe mula, ibhe kwa ndumbililo ya mmbone eu yangali ya mmbone. Kwa lyene ligongo lyo nne shing'angalale, na shimbunde kuangalala,
What difference does this make? Christ is, nevertheless, preached in every way, whether in pretense or in truth; and in this I rejoice, yes, and I will rejoice:
19 pabha nimumanyi kuti kwa juga kwenunji na kwa jangutilwa naka Mbumu jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, gambatile gala shigapindikushe nibha ntapulo gwangu.
for I know that this will result in my benefit through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 Punguganishiya na kulupalila kwangu kuti, ngatokamala nkutenda liengo lyangu, ikabhe shingole makangala mobha gowe, na kaje agano mobha gano, nkupinga kwa nkulama kwangu eu nkuwa kwangu naape a Kilishitu kuishimika.
according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but with all boldness, as at all times, so even now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
21 Pabha kwangu nne, kulama ni a Kilishitu na kuwa ni pwaida.
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 Bhai monaga kwa lama kwangu shingombole tenda liengo likwete pwaida, bhai ng'agule nndi? Nne ngakushimanya!
But if this, my life in the flesh, would be profitable for my work in the ministry, verily, what I should choose I know not.
23 Ngunalongwa indu ibhili, ngunalokolila nijileshe ajino ndamo jino niijendele ngatame na a Kilishitu, pabha lyeneli ni lya mmbone kaje,
I am in a strait between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better:
24 ikabheje nonjeyaga kulama, ni sha mmbone kwenu mmanganyanji.
yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
25 Kwa kugamanya genega, nimumanyi kuti shimbunde kulama, nonjeye na mmanganyanji, nkupinga mpundanje kwiishimilika na angalala nngulupai.
And of this I feel assured, that I shall remain and continue among you all for your advancement and joy in the faith,
26 Bhai shimwipunilanje nne, nkulundana na a Kilishitu Yeshu, pushimme na mmanganyanji kabhili.
that your rejoicing in Christ Jesus may become more abundant through me by my being present among you again.
27 Bhai shindu shikulungwa, ndamo jenunji jibhe malinga shiipinjikwa na Ngani ja Mmbone ja a Kilishitu, nkupinga ng'ikaga eu ngaishe, mbilikane kuti nnakwiishimilikanga ukoto kwa ntima gumo, na lundana nkukomana ngondo pamo, kwa ligongo lya ngulupai ga Ngani ja Mmbone.
Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of the Christ, that, whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,
28 Nnaajogopanje ashaamagongo ajenunji, nkolanje makangala, yeneyo shiibhe shilangulo ukoto, kuti bhanganyanjibho shibhalepelanje na mmanganyanji shinkombolanje, pabha a Nnungu bhayene shibhankomboyanje.
and in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
29 Pabha mmanganyanji nshipegwanga nema ja kwaakamulila liengo a Kilishitu, nngabha kwa kwaakulupalilape, ikabhe na potekwa kwa ligongo lyabho.
For to you it is given in behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but, also, to suffer for him,
30 Kwa nneyo nnongananje na nne nkukomana ngondo. Ngondo jinjibhweninji nilikomana, na launo ngunakomana, malinga shinkupilikananga.
since you have the same conflict that you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
