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, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:
2 Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa biraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Ani yeroo isin yaadadhu hunda Waaqa koo nan galateeffadha.
I thank my God every time I remember you.
4 Ani kadhannaa hunda keessaniif kadhadhu keessatti yeroo hunda gammachuun nan kadhadha;
In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy,
5 isin guyyaa jalqabaatii hamma ammaatti wangeela lallabuu keessatti hirmaattaniirtuutii;
because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,
6 inni hojii gaarii isin keessatti jalqabe sun hamma guyyaa Kiristoos Yesuusitti akka raawwatu nan amana.
being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
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.
It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart. For in my chains and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are all partners in grace with me.
8 Akka ani jaalala Kiristoos Yesuusiin hammam hunda keessan yaadu Waaqayyo dhuga baatu koo ti.
God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9 Kadhannaan koo kanaa dha: kunis akka jaalalli keessan beekumsaa fi hubannaa hundaan ittuma fufee baayʼatu,
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
10 akka isin isa waan hundumaa caalu addaan baaftanii beekuu dandeessanii fi akka isin hamma guyyaa Kiristoosittis qulqullootaa fi warra mudaa hin qabne taataniif,
so that you may be able to test and prove what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
11 akka ulfinaa fi galata Waaqaatiifis iji qajeelinaa kan karaa Yesuus Kiristoosiin argamuun guutamtaniif.
filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Yaa obboloota, wanti narra gaʼe kun dhugumaan wangeela babalʼisuuf gargaaruu isaa akka beektan nan barbaada.
Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.
13 Kanaanis Kiristoosiif jedhee hidhamuun koo guutummaa masaraatii fi namoota kaan hunda biratti beekameera.
As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.
14 Sababii ani hidhameefis obboloota keessaa garri caalaan Gooftaa amanatanii, dubbii Waaqaa sodaa malee dubbachuuf ija jabina guddaa argataniiru.
And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.
15 Namoonni tokko tokko dhugumaan weennoo fi morkiidhaan Kiristoosin lallabu; warri kaan garuu yaada gaariidhaan lallabu.
It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
16 Warri yaada gaariidhaan lallaban kunneen, akka ani wangeelaaf falmuuf jedhee as kaaʼame beekanii jaalalaan lallabu.
The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense 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, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.
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;
What then is the issue? Just this: that in every way, whether by false motives or true, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
19 akka wanni narra gaʼe kun karaa kadhannaa keessaniitii fi karaa gargaarsa Hafuura Yesuus Kiristoosiin gara furamaatti naa geeddaramu nan beekaatii.
because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance.
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.
I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
21 Anaaf jiraachuun Kiristoos; duʼuunis buʼaa dha.
For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 Ani yoo fooniin jiraadhe kun anaaf hojii buʼa qabeessa; garuu maalan filadha? Ani hin beeku!
But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know.
23 Ani yaada kana lamaan gidduutti rarraʼeera; ani deemee Kiristoos wajjin jiraachuu nan hawwa; kun waan hunda caalaatii;
I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.
24 isiniif garuu fooniin turuun koo caalaa barbaachisaa dha.
But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
25 Anis kana amanadhee akka isin amantiin guddattanii fi akka isin gammaddaniif hunda keessan bira akka turu, isin wajjinis akka jiraadhun beeka.
Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
26 Kunis ani ammas isin biratti argamuu kootiin of jajuun isin Kiristoos Yesuusitti qabdan sababii kootiin akka baayʼatuuf.
so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.
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.
Nevertheless, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending side by side 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.
without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a clear sign of their destruction but of your salvation, and it is from God.
29 Isin akka Kiristoositti amantan qofa utuu hin taʼin akka isaaf jettanii dhiphattaniifis kun isaaf jechaa isinii kennameeraatii;
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also 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.
since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
