Wafilipi 4
1 Su walongu wayetu, yanuwafira nentu na kufira kuwawona, mwenga nemeleru yaneni na lijenjeri lya ukanga waneni, mwenga waganja wangu hangu ndo ntambu yamfiruwa kugangamala mukulikolerana pamuhera na Mtuwa.
So stand firm in the Lord, my dear friends who mean so much to me, who make me so happy! To me you are my crowning achievement! I truly love you and long to see you!
2 Nankuwaluwa awa wantu wawili Eudiya na Sintiki, mjimilirani Mumtuwa.
Euodia and Syntyche—I urge you to resolve your differences with each other and agree in the Lord.
3 Na vilaa nukugambira gwenga mtenda lihengu muyangu, guwatangi wadala awa, tembera watenda lihengu pamuhera na neni kushyenezeya Shisoweru Shiwagira, pamuhera na Kilementi na watenda lihengu wayangu wamonga woseri, walii matawu gawu galembwa mushindola sha ukomu.
In fact, my faithful fellow-worker, let me ask you to help these women, for they worked together with me to spread the good news—as well as Clement and my other co-workers, whose names are recorded in the book of life.
4 Su mnemeleri shipindi shoseri mukulikolerana pamuhera na Mtuwa nankulonga kayi, mnemeleri.
Always be happy in the Lord—I repeat, Be happy!
5 Unanaga wenu umaniki kwa wantu woseri. Mtuwa kapakwegera.
Everyone should know about your kindness. The Lord will soon be here.
6 Namuwera na lyoga na shintu shoseri, kumbiti kwa kila shintu kwa kumluwa Mlungu na kukosiya pamuhera na kulonga mayagashii, mumgambiri Mlungu mafiliru genu.
Don't worry about anything, but take everything to God in prayer, explaining your requests to him and thanking him for all he does.
7 Na ponga ya Mlungu yayipitayi luhala lyoseri lya wantu, haliloleri myoyu na maholu genu mukulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu Yesu.
Then the peace that comes from God, which is better than we can ever imagine, will protect your thoughts and attitudes in Christ Jesus.
8 Upeleru, walongu wayangu, muvilori hweri vitwatira viheri, shashijimirwa na Mlungu shifiruwa kukwiswa, viherepa, vitwatira vyavikamilika kulongolu kwa Mlungu, vya viherepa na vya kuherepeziya na ligoya.
Lastly, whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, beautiful, commendable, whatever is truly good and deserves to be praised, think about these kinds of things.
9 Mgatendi galii gamlifunditi na kuwanka kulawa kwa neni, vitwatira vya mpikaniriti ntakula na kuwona gantenda. Na Mlungu yakawapanana wantu ponga hakaweri pamuhera na mwenga.
Put into practice what you learned and received from me, what you saw me doing and heard me say. Then the God of peace will be with you.
10 Mukulikolerana pamuhera na Mtuwa mpata nemeleru ngulu kuwera upeleru mwenga mpatiti kayi lupenyu lya kulanguziya kuwera mwankuhola.
I'm so happy in the Lord that you've at last thought about me again—realizing that you were concerned about me before but you couldn't do anything about it.
11 Ntakula ndiri vinu toziya nfira shintu, toziya nulifunda kujimilira na vintu vyawera navi.
I'm not talking about my own needs, because I've already learned to be satisfied in whatever situation I find myself.
12 Nuvimana ntambu ya kuwera na vintu vivuwa na nuvimana ntambu yakuwera pota na vintu. Nulifunda bada ayi, su kwa ntambu yoseri na shipindi shoseri, neni paweri na viboga ama pawera na njala, ama pawera na vyavisigaliti ama vivuwa ndiri.
I'm used to having nothing, and I've experienced having plenty too. In every possible situation I've learned the secret of dealing with having plenty and going hungry, of being rich and of living in poverty:
13 Neni weza kutenda kila shintu kupitira Kristu yakamupanana makakala.
I can do anything through him who makes me strong!
14 Kumbiti mwenga mtenditi viherepa kwa kuntanga neni muntabika zyangu.
Even so it was good of you to share with me during my troubles.
15 Mwenga Wafilipi muvimana maweni kuwera palupaga pa kushibwera Shisoweru Shiwagira, paweriti nankuwuka Makedoniya, mwenga shipinga sha wantu ywamjimira Yesu yamuntangiti, gweka yenu ndo yamumtenditi pamuhera na neni na kuwapanana wamonga mafiliru.
You Philippians remember that right at the beginning of sharing the good news, when I left Macedonia, that yours was the only church that helped me financially.
16 Ata neni paweriti aku Tesaloniki muntangiti mala zivuwa.
Even when I was in Thessalonica you helped me out not once but twice.
17 Nfira ndiri kufira mafupu kulawa kwa mwenga, kumbiti nfira mota yongereki muluhanja lwenu.
Not that I'm looking for a donation—I'm looking for your “account” to increase in “profit.”
18 Su wanka kala vintu vyoseri vyamnupiti, kayi na nentu kuliku vyanfiriti. Nana kila shintu kwa vinu Epafiraditu kanjegera kala lifupu lyenu. Lifupu ali ndo gambira shijungu shana utuli uherepa, shijungu shijimilika na tambiku yayimuherepelera Mlungu.
For I have everything, more than I need! I'm thankful to receive from Epaphroditus the things you sent. They're like a sweet-smelling sacrifice that pleases God and that he approves of.
19 Su Mlungu gwangu kwa ulunda wakuwi mkulu na muwukwisa wakuwi kupitira Kristu Yesu, hakawapanani mafiliru genu.
My God will fill you with everything you need in accordance with his glorious wealth in Christ Jesus!
Glory be to God the Father, forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Nankuwalamsiya wantu woseri wa Mlungu yawawera wakuwi Kristu Yesu. Walongu yawawera panu pamuhera naneni wawalamsiya.
Greet every fellow-believer in Christ Jesus. The Christian brothers and sisters with me send their greetings.
22 Wantu woseri wa Mlungu panu, na nentu walii yawawera mnumba ya Kaisari, wawalamsiyani.
All the believers send you greetings, especially those from Caesar's palace.
23 Manemu ga Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu gaweri pamuhera na rohu zyenu.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
