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

3 Ani yeroo isin yaadadhu hunda Waaqa koo nan galateeffadha.

I thank my God whenever I remember you,

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

always in every prayer of mine for all of you, making my requests with joy,

5 isin guyyaa jalqabaatii hamma ammaatti wangeela lallabuu keessatti hirmaattaniirtuutii;

for your partnership in the Good News 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 very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it 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 even right for me to think this way about all of you, because I have you in my heart, because, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of 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 all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

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

This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;

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 approve the things that are excellent; that you may be pure and blameless for 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, which are 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 desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;

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

so that it became evident to the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;

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

and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word without fear.

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

Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

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

The latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

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 insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to 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 does it matter? Only that in every way, whether out of false motives or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and 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 for my deliverance, through your petition 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 will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified 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 live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I do not make known what I will choose.

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

But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

24 isiniif garuu fooniin turuun koo caalaa barbaachisaa dha.

Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

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

And since I am persuaded of this, I know that I will remain and 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.

that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

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 let your manner of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

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

and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

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

Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,

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 which you saw in me, and now hear is in me.
