VaFiripi 4
1 Naizvozvo, hama dzangu, iyemi vandinoda uye vandinoshuva, mufaro wangu nekorona yangu, ndiko kuti mumire nesimba muna She, hama dzinodiwa!
Therefore, my brethren, dearly loved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my dearly-loved ones.
2 Ndinokumbira zvikuru kuna Yudhia uyewo ndinokumbira zvikuru Sindike kuti vatenderane muna She.
I entreat Euodia, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of one mind, as sisters in Christ.
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.
Yes, and I beg you also, my faithful yoke-fellow, to help these women who have shared my toil in connection with the Good News, together with Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are recorded in the Book of Life.
4 Farai muna She nguva dzose. Ndichapamhidzazve: Farai!
Always be glad in the Lord: I will repeat it, be glad.
5 Unyoro hwenyu ngahuonekwe kuna vose. Ishe ava pedyo.
Let your forbearing spirit be known to every one--the Lord is near.
6 Musafunganya pamusoro pechimwe chinhu, asi muzvinhu zvose, kumbirai Mwari neminyengetero, nemikumbiro uye nokuvonga.
Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by prayer and earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your request be unreservedly made known in the presence of God.
7 Uye rugare rwaMwari, runopfuura kunzwisisa kwose, rucharinda mwoyo yenyu nemifungo yenyu muna Kristu Jesu.
And then the peace of God, which transcends all our powers of thought, will be a garrison to guard your hearts and minds in union with Christ Jesus.
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, brethren, whatever is true, whatever wins respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovable, whatever is of good repute--if there is any virtue or anything deemed worthy of praise--cherish the thought of these things.
9 Zvinhu zvipi zvazvo zvamakadzidza kana zvamakagamuchira kana zvamakanzwa kubva kwandiri, kana zvamakaona mandiri, itai izvozvo. Uye Mwari worugare ngaave nemi.
The doctrines and the line of conduct which I taught you--both what you heard and what you saw in me-- hold fast to them; and God who gives 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 I rejoice with a deep and holy joy that now at length you have revived your thoughtfulness for my welfare. Indeed you have always been thoughtful for me, although opportunity failed you.
11 Handirevi izvi nokuda kwokuti ndinoshayiwa, nokuti ndakadzidza kugutsikana nezvinenge zviripo.
I do not refer to this through fear of privation, for (for my part) I have learned, whatever be my outward experiences, to be content.
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 both how to live in humble circumstances and how to live amid abundance. I am fully initiated into all the mysteries both of fulness and of hunger, of abundance and of want.
13 Ndinogona kuita zvinhu zvose kubudikidza naiye anondipa simba.
I have strength for anything through Him who gives me power.
14 Asi makaita zvakanaka kuti makagovana neni mumatambudziko angu.
Yet I thank you for taking your share in my troubles.
15 Pamusoro paizvozvo, sezvamunoziva imi vaFiripi, pamazuva enyu okutanga kundiziva nevhangeri, pandakasimuka kubva kuMasedhonia, hakuna kereke yakagovana neni panyaya yokupa nokugamuchira, kunze kwenyu chete;
And you men and women of Philippi also know that at the first preaching of the Good News, when I had left Macedonia, no other Church except yourselves held communication with me about giving and receiving;
16 nokuti kunyange pandakanga ndiri muTesaronika, makanditumira rubatsirozve uye mukapamha pandainge ndiri pakushayiwa.
because even in Thessalonica you sent several times to minister to my needs.
17 Handirevi kuti ndinotsvaka chipo, asi ndinotsvaka izvo zvamungazopfumiswa nazvo.
Not that I crave for gifts from you, but I do want to see abundant fruit bring you honour.
18 Ndakagamuchira mubayiro uzere uye kunyange zvizhinji; ndava nezvakakwana, zvino zvandagamuchira kubva kuna Epafrodhitasi zvipo zvamakanditumira. Zvakaita sechipiriso chinonhuhwira, chibayiro chakafanira, chinofadza Mwari.
I have enough of everything--and more than enough. My wants are fully satisfied now that I have received from the hands of Epaphroditus the generous gifts which you sent me--they are a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, truly pleasing to God.
19 Uye Mwari wangu achazadzisa zvamunoshayiwa zvose maererano nokubwinya kwepfuma yake muna Kristu Jesu.
But my God--so great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus--will fully supply every need of yours.
And to our God and Father be the glory throughout the Ages of the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Kwazisai vatsvene vose muna Kristu Jesu. Hama dzandinadzo dzinokukwazisai.
My Christian greetings to every one of God's people. The brethren who are with me send their greetings.
22 Vatsvene vose vanokukwazisai, kunyanya avo veimba yaKesari.
All God's people here greet you--especially the members of Caesar's household.
23 Nyasha dzaIshe Jesu Kristu ngadzive nomweya wenyu. Ameni.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.
