VaFiripi 4
1 Naizvozvo, hama dzangu, iyemi vandinoda uye vandinoshuva, mufaro wangu nekorona yangu, ndiko kuti mumire nesimba muna She, hama dzinodiwa!
Wherefore, my brethren, beloved and tenderly-regarded, my joy and my crown, so stand in our Lord, my beloved.
2 Ndinokumbira zvikuru kuna Yudhia uyewo ndinokumbira zvikuru Sindike kuti vatenderane muna She.
Of Evhodia I beseech, and of Syntika, that one mind they have in our Lord.
3 Hongu, uye ndinokukumbira iwe wakatendeka, musungwa pamwe chete neni pajoko, batsira vakadzi ava vakarwa pamwe chete neni mubasa revhangeri, pamwe chete naKiremenzi uye navamwe vose vakabata basa pamwe chete neni, mazita avo ari mubhuku roupenyu.
Also of thee I beseech, my true yokefellow, to be helpful to those who are labouring with me in the gospel, with Klimis, and with the rest of my helpers, whose names are written in the book of life.
4 Farai muna She nguva dzose. Ndichapamhidzazve: Farai!
Rejoice in our Lord in all time, and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Unyoro hwenyu ngahuonekwe kuna vose. Ishe ava pedyo.
And let your meekness be known unto every man: our Lord is near.
6 Musafunganya pamusoro pechimwe chinhu, asi muzvinhu zvose, kumbirai Mwari neminyengetero, nemikumbiro uye nokuvonga.
For nothing be anxious; but in all time, with prayer and with supplication, let your requests be made known before Aloha:
7 Uye rugare rwaMwari, runopfuura kunzwisisa kwose, rucharinda mwoyo yenyu nemifungo yenyu muna Kristu Jesu.
And the peace of Aloha, which is greater than all knowledge, shall keep your hearts and your minds, through Jeshu Meshiha.
8 Pakupedzisira hama, ndinoti kwamuri: fungai pamusoro pezvinhu izvi zvose zvechokwadi, zvose zvinokudzwa, zvose zvakarurama, zvose zvakachena, zvose zvinodikanwa, zvose zvinoyevedza, kana paine chinhu chakaisvonaka kana chinorumbidzwa, fungai pamusoro pezvinhu izvi zvakadai.
FINALLY, my brethren, those (things) which are true, and those which are honest, and those which are just, and those which are pure, and those which are lovely, and those which are laudable, and those (which are) works of praise and of celebration, these consider.
9 Zvinhu zvipi zvazvo zvamakadzidza kana zvamakagamuchira kana zvamakanzwa kubva kwandiri, kana zvamakaona mandiri, itai izvozvo. Uye Mwari worugare ngaave nemi.
These which you have learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these perform; and the God of peace will be with you.
10 Ndinofara zvikuru muna She kuti pakupedzisira makavandudza hanya yenyu nokuda kwangu. Zvirokwazvo, makanga mune hanya henyu, asi makanga musina mukana wokuti muzviratidze.
But greatly do I rejoice in our Lord, that you have begun to care (again) for me, as also you were careful, but you have not had ability.
11 Handirevi izvi nokuda kwokuti ndinoshayiwa, nokuti ndakadzidza kugutsikana nezvinenge zviripo.
But I have not spoken because I have had need; for I have learned to make sufficient to me that which I have had.
12 Ndinoziva kuti kushayiwa chii, uye ndinoziva kuva nezvakawanda. Ndakadzidza chakavanzika chokugutsikana mune zvipi zvazvo uye mumamiriro ose zvawo, kungava kuguta kana kunzwa nzara, kana kuva nezvakawanda kana kushayiwa.
I know (how) to be abased, I know also how to abound in all; and in every thing I am trained with sufficiency and with hunger, with abundance and with destitution:
13 Ndinogona kuita zvinhu zvose kubudikidza naiye anondipa simba.
for every thing I am empowered through the Meshiha who strengtheneth me.
14 Asi makaita zvakanaka kuti makagovana neni mumatambudziko angu.
Nevertheless, you have done well to communicate unto my afflictions.
15 Pamusoro paizvozvo, sezvamunoziva imi vaFiripi, pamazuva enyu okutanga kundiziva nevhangeri, pandakasimuka kubva kuMasedhonia, hakuna kereke yakagovana neni panyaya yokupa nokugamuchira, kunze kwenyu chete;
Know also, you Philipisoyee, that in the commencement of the gospel, when I went forth from Makedunia, not one of the churches communicated to me in the account of receiving and giving, but you only.
16 nokuti kunyange pandakanga ndiri muTesaronika, makanditumira rubatsirozve uye mukapamha pandainge ndiri pakushayiwa.
For also to Thessalonika one time and twice to my necessity you sent.
17 Handirevi kuti ndinotsvaka chipo, asi ndinotsvaka izvo zvamungazopfumiswa nazvo.
Not because I seek the gift, but I seek that fruit may multiply unto you.
18 Ndakagamuchira mubayiro uzere uye kunyange zvizhinji; ndava nezvakakwana, zvino zvandagamuchira kubva kuna Epafrodhitasi zvipo zvamakanditumira. Zvakaita sechipiriso chinonhuhwira, chibayiro chakafanira, chinofadza Mwari.
But I have received every thing, I abound; and am full; and I have accepted all that you sent me by Epaphroditos, a sweet fragrance and a sacrifice, acceptable, which pleaseth Aloha.
19 Uye Mwari wangu achazadzisa zvamunoshayiwa zvose maererano nokubwinya kwepfuma yake muna Kristu Jesu.
And my God shall supply all your necessity, according to his riches in the glory of Jeshu Meshiha.
To Aloha our Father be praise and glory to the age of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Kwazisai vatsvene vose muna Kristu Jesu. Hama dzandinadzo dzinokukwazisai.
Ask for the peace of all the saints who are in Jeshu the Meshiha. The brethren who are with me ask for your peace.
22 Vatsvene vose vanokukwazisai, kunyanya avo veimba yaKesari.
All the saints ask for your peace, especially those who are of the house of Caesar.
23 Nyasha dzaIshe Jesu Kristu ngadzive nomweya wenyu. Ameni.
The grace of our Lord Jeshu the Meshiha be with you all. Amen.
