Wafilipi 1
1 Neni Paulu pamuhera na Timotewu wantumintumi wa Kristu Yesu, Twankuwalembera mwenga wananagala yamulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu Yesu yamuwera Filipi, pamuhera na wakulu na watanga wa shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu
Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
2 Manemu na ponga ga Mlungu Tati gwetu na ga Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu gaweri pamuhera na mwenga.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Nonga mayagashii kwa Mlungu gwangu kila panuwahola mwenga,
I thank my God whenever I remember you,
4 na kila panuwaluwira woseri mwenga kwa Mlungu, nankuwaluwira kwa kunemelera,
always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
5 toziya ntambu yamuntangiti mulihengu lya Shisoweru Shiwagira kwanjira pampikaniriti mpaka leru.
for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
6 Su nwera na unakaka kuwera yomberi yakalyanjiti lihengu ali liherepa mngati mwenu, hakendereyi nalu mpaka limaliriki mulishaka lilii lya Kristu Yesu.
being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
7 Su hangu ndo ntambu yanfiruwa kuwahola toziya nuwaholani mashaka goseri mumoyu mwangu. Toziya mwawoseri mwenga mtenditi pamuhera mumanemu gampananitwi na Mlungu, vinu neni pawera mushibetubetu ama paweriti mlekeziwu kwanja kushilolera hweri na kushilanguziya Shisoweru Shiwagira.
It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
8 Mlungu ndo mkapitawu gwangu kuwera nfira kuwawona mwenga kwa mafiliru galaa galii ga Kristu Yesu.
For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
9 Neni numuluwa Mlungu kuwera mafiliru genu kwongereki nentu pamuhera na umana wa unakaka na luhala lwa kila ntambu,
This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
10 su mweza kusyagula shitwatira shashiherepa na hamuweri waherepa pota na kuwera na shitakulirwa shoseri shilii mulishaka liii lya Kristu.
so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,
11 Makaliru genu hagamemiziwi vitwatira vyoseri vya nakaka vyavimfiriziya Mlungu, Yesu Kristu mweni kaweza kuwapanana, kwa ukwisa na uzyumi wa Mlungu.
being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Walongu wayetu, nfira muvimani kuwera vitwatira vyoseri vyampatiti neni vintanga nentu kushiyeniziya Shisoweru Shiwagira.
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 Su walolera woseri wa numba ya mfalumi pamuhera na wamonga woseri panu wavimana kuwera nwera mushibetubetu toziya neni nankumtendera Kristu.
so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
14 Na kwaneni kuwera mushibetubetu, walongu wayetu mngati mwa Kristu wavuwa wawera wagangamala mukubwera shisoweru sha Mlungu pota na lyoga.
and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15 Yanakaka kuwera wamu wawu wamubwera Kristu toziya wawera na weya na wawera wantu wa ndewu, kumbiti wamonga wankumubwera Kristu toziya wafira kuwatanga wantu.
Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
16 Womberi wankutenda hangu kwa mafiliru gaherepa toziya wankuvimana kuwera Mlungu kanupiti lihengu ali lya kushitakulira Shisoweru Shiwagira.
The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
17 Kumbiti wamonga walii yawambwera Kristu kwa moyu yagunanagala ndiri, kumbiti kwa weya pawalihola kuwera hawanongeleri neni ntabika pawera mushibetubetu.
but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
18 Hashi, nongi shishi? Neni nankunemelera payiwera wantu wankumubwera Kristu kwa kila njira, iweri kwa nfiru iherepa ama nfiru idoda, kayi hanendereyi kunemelera
What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
19 toziya nuvimana kuwera kupitira kumluwa Mlungu kwa mwenga na kwa utanga wa Rohu gwa Yesu Kristu, hanvugulirwi.
For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 Mata yaneni nkulu na litumbiru lyangu, ndo kuwera hapeni nsindi mulihengu lyangu, kumbiti vipindi vyoseri asa mushipindi ashi, hanumkwisi Kristu mumakaliru gangu, panulikala ama pahowa.
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 Nulikala kwa kumtendera Kristu na kuhowa kwaneni mota.
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 Handa panendereya kulikala neni hanwezi kutenda lihengu lyaliwera na mota nentu. Hashi, neni nsyaguli shishi? Neni nuvimana ndiri.
But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.
23 Neni nkwegwa wega mbili. Neni nfira nentu kulawa munshimba ayi na nulikoleri pamuhera na Kristu, shitwatira ashi shiweza kuwera shiherepa nentu,
But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
24 kumbiti iherepa nentu kwamwenga neni panendereya kulikala.
Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
25 Neni nwera na unakaka na shitwatira ashi, nuvimana kuwera neni hansigali na hanendereyi kulikala pamuhera na maweni mwenga woseri, su mpati kwongera munjimiru yenu pamuhera na nemeleru,
Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
26 su neni pawera na mwenga kayi, mwenga hamuweri na toziya ya kumtumbira Kristu Yesu kwa ntambu yakantendiriti.
that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
27 Su shitwatira shiherepa ndo shiwera mgenderanu gwenu gulikolerani pamuhera na Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Kristu ntambu yayifiruwa, su handa paweza kwiza kwa mwenga kuwawona ama pampikanira mwenga, neni hanuvimani kuwera mwenga mgangamala pamuhera na nfiru yimu na viraa muvikomi ngondu kwa pamuhera na muwera na nfiru yimu toziya ya njimiru ya Shisoweru Shiwagira.
Only let your way 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 Namuwatira kwa ntambu yoseri ilii wantu yawawalema, ayi hayiweri lilangaliru kwawu kuwera hawagamili, kumbiti mwenga hamlopoziwi na Mlungu.
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 Toziya mwenga mpananwa upendelewu wa kumtendera Kristu, kumjimira ndiri hera kumbiti kutabisiwa toziya ya yomberi.
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 Vinu muweza kutenda pamuhera naneni kuzikoma ngondu. Ngondu azi ndo zilii zyamuziwoniti panuzikomiti pa lupaga na nankali nankuzikoma mpaka vinu ntambu yampikanira.
having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
