Fiiliphisiyuus 1

1 Phaawulosii fi Xiimotewos tajaajiltoota Kiristoos Yesuus irraa, Gara warra karaa Kiristoos Yesuusiin qulqulloota taʼan kanneen Phaaphaasotaa fi daaqonoota wajjin Fiiliphisiyuus keessa jiraatan hundaatti:

Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.

2 Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa biraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.

Grace and peace unto you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Ani yeroo isin yaadadhu hunda Waaqa koo nan galateeffadha.

I thank my God for every mention of you,

4 Ani kadhannaa hunda keessaniif kadhadhu keessatti yeroo hunda gammachuun nan kadhadha;

always in all my prayer with joy making supplication,

5 isin guyyaa jalqabaatii hamma ammaatti wangeela lallabuu keessatti hirmaattaniirtuutii;

for your fellowship in the gospel from the first clay until now;

6 inni hojii gaarii isin keessatti jalqabe sun hamma guyyaa Kiristoos Yesuusitti akka raawwatu nan amana.

having confidence as to this same thing, that the one having begun a good work in you will perfect it unto the day of Jesus Christ:

7 Waan isin garaa koo keessa jirtaniif ani waaʼee hunda keessanii akkanatti yaaduun koo anaaf sirrii dha; hidhamuu koo keessattis taʼu yookaan wangeelaaf falmuu kootii fi akka wangeelli cimee dhaabatu gochuu koo keessatti hundi keessan na wajjin ayyaana Waaqaa keessatti hirmaatuutii.

as it is righteous for me to think in behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, that you are all my fellow-partakers of the grace.

8 Akka ani jaalala Kiristoos Yesuusiin hammam hunda keessan yaadu Waaqayyo dhuga baatu koo ti.

For God is my witness, how I long after you in the affections of Jesus Christ.

9 Kadhannaan koo kanaa dha: kunis akka jaalalli keessan beekumsaa fi hubannaa hundaan ittuma fufee baayʼatu,

And I pray this, that your divine love may yet more and more abound in perfect knowledge and all understanding;

10 akka isin isa waan hundumaa caalu addaan baaftanii beekuu dandeessanii fi akka isin hamma guyyaa Kiristoosittis qulqullootaa fi warra mudaa hin qabne taataniif,

in order that you may distinguish those things which differ; that you may be pure and without offence in the day of Christ;

11 akka ulfinaa fi galata Waaqaatiifis iji qajeelinaa kan karaa Yesuus Kiristoosiin argamuun guutamtaniif.

being filled with the fruit of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

12 Yaa obboloota, wanti narra gaʼe kun dhugumaan wangeela babalʼisuuf gargaaruu isaa akka beektan nan barbaada.

But I wish you, brethren, to know that the affairs appertaining to me have turned out rather unto the promotion of the gospel.

13 Kanaanis Kiristoosiif jedhee hidhamuun koo guutummaa masaraatii fi namoota kaan hunda biratti beekameera.

So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the pretorian army, and to all the rest;

14 Sababii ani hidhameefis obboloota keessaa garri caalaan Gooftaa amanatanii, dubbii Waaqaa sodaa malee dubbachuuf ija jabina guddaa argataniiru.

and many of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are bold to speak the word of God more fluently without fear.

15 Namoonni tokko tokko dhugumaan weennoo fi morkiidhaan Kiristoosin lallabu; warri kaan garuu yaada gaariidhaan lallabu.

Some indeed through envy and strife, and some through good will, are preaching Christ:

16 Warri yaada gaariidhaan lallaban kunneen, akka ani wangeelaaf falmuuf jedhee as kaaʼame beekanii jaalalaan lallabu.

the latter from divine love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel:

17 Warri weennoo fi morkiidhaan lallaban immoo utuu garaa qulqulluun hin taʼin, mana hidhaa keessatti rakkina natti cimsuuf jedhanii fedhii ofittummaatiin Kiristoosin lallabu.

the former from self-seeking are proclaiming Christ insincerely, thinking that they will add affliction to my bonds.

18 Yoos wanni kun maal qaba ree? Wanni barbaachisaan fakkeessuunis taʼu yookaan dhugaan karaa kam iyyuu Kiristoos lallabamuu isaa ti. Sababii kanaaf ani akka malee nan gammada. Eeyyee ani ittuma fufee nan gammada;

For what is it? moreover that in every place, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and I rejoice in this, yes, and I will rejoice.

19 akka wanni narra gaʼe kun karaa kadhannaa keessaniitii fi karaa gargaarsa Hafuura Yesuus Kiristoosiin gara furamaatti naa geeddaramu nan beekaatii.

For I know that this will turn out to me unto salvation, through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

20 Ani akkuma yeroo kaanii ammas jireenyaanis taʼu yookaan duʼaan ija jabinaan dubbachuun koo akka Kiristoos dhagna koo keessatti ulfina argatuuf malee karaa kamiin iyyuu akka hin qaanofneef baayʼisee nan hawwa; nan abdadhas.

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall be ashamed in nothing, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

21 Anaaf jiraachuun Kiristoos; duʼuunis buʼaa dha.

For Christ is my life, and death is my gain.

22 Ani yoo fooniin jiraadhe kun anaaf hojii buʼa qabeessa; garuu maalan filadha? Ani hin beeku!

But if to live in the flesh, this shall be to me the fruit of the work, indeed I know not what I shall ask.

23 Ani yaada kana lamaan gidduutti rarraʼeera; ani deemee Kiristoos wajjin jiraachuu nan hawwa; kun waan hunda caalaatii;

But I am in a strait between two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ; for this is far better:

24 isiniif garuu fooniin turuun koo caalaa barbaachisaa dha.

but to remain in the flesh is safer on account of you.

25 Anis kana amanadhee akka isin amantiin guddattanii fi akka isin gammaddaniif hunda keessan bira akka turu, isin wajjinis akka jiraadhun beeka.

And having confidence in this, I know that I shall abide with you all, unto your promotion and the joy of your faith;

26 Kunis ani ammas isin biratti argamuu kootiin of jajuun isin Kiristoos Yesuusitti qabdan sababii kootiin akka baayʼatuuf.

in order that your rejoicing in Christ Jesus may abound in me through my coming again unto you.

27 Waan fedhe iyyuu taʼu akka wangeela Kiristoosiif malutti jiraadhaa. Yoos ani dhufee isin arguunis taʼu yookaan fagoo taaʼee waaʼee keessan dhagaʼuu qofaan, akka isin amantii wangeelaatiif jettanii akkuma nama tokkootti tattaaffachuun hafuura tokkoon jabaattanii dhaabattan nan beeka.

Only live worthily of the gospel of Christ: in order that, whether coming and seeing you or being absent, I hear those things concerning you, that you are standing in one spirit, with one soul contending for the faith of the gospel;

28 Isin waanuma tokkoon illee mormitoota keessaniin hin raafaminaa. Kun isaaniif mallattoo badiisaa ti; isiniif immoo mallattoo fayyinaa ti; kunis hojii Waaqaa ti.

and not being intimidated in anything by the adversaries: which is to them the manifestation of destruction, but of your salvation, and this is from God;

29 Isin akka Kiristoositti amantan qofa utuu hin taʼin akka isaaf jettanii dhiphattaniifis kun isaaf jechaa isinii kennameeraatii;

because the blessing is conferred on you in behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but indeed to suffer for him:

30 kunis walʼaansoo ani keessa ture isa argitan sanaa fi isa ani amma iyyuu keessa jiru kan dhageessan kana keessa darbuutti waan jirtaniifii dha.

having the same conflict as you saw in me, and now hearing me.
