VaFiripi 1

1 Pauro naTimoti, varanda vaKristu Jesu, kuvatsvene vose muna Kristu Jesu vari paFiripi, pamwe chete navatariri navadhikoni vekereke:

Paul and Timothy servants of Christ Jesus To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are being in Philippi with [the] overseers and deacons:

2 Nyasha norugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba nokuna Ishe Jesu Kristu ngazvive kwamuri.

Grace to you and peace from God Father of us and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Ndinovonga Mwari wangu nguva dzose pandinokurangarirai.

I thank the God of mine upon every the remembrance of you

4 Muminyengetero yangu yose nokuda kwenyu mose, ndinogara ndichinyengetera nomufaro

always in every supplication of mine for all of you with joy the supplication making

5 nokuda kwokubata pamwe kwenyu muvhangeri kubvira pazuva rokutanga kusvikira zvino,

for the partnership of you in the gospel from (the *no*) first day until now;

6 ndichiziva izvi, kuti iye akatanga basa rakanaka mamuri acharipedzisa kusvikira pazuva raKristu Jesu.

having been persuaded of [the] very thing this, that the [One] having begun in you a work good will complete [it] until [the] day of Christ Jesus;

7 Zvakanaka kwandiri kuti ndifunge saizvozvo pamusoro penyu mose, sezvo ndinemi mumwoyo; nokuti kunyange ndakasungwa nengetani kana kuti ndichidzivirira nokusimbisa vhangeri, imi mose munogovana neni munyasha dzaMwari.

Even as it is right for me myself this to feel about all of you since having I in the heart you, in both the chains of mine and in the defense and in confirmation of the gospel fellow partakers with me of grace all you are.

8 Mwari anogona kupupura kuti ndinokufungai sei imi mose norudo rwaKristu Jesu.

Witness for of mine (is *k*) God how I long after all you in [the] affection of Christ Jesus.

9 Uye uyu ndiwo munyengetero wangu: kuti rudo rwenyu ruwande uye muwanze kuziva nokunzwisisa,

And this I pray, that the love of you yet more and more may abound in knowledge and in all discernment

10 kuitira kuti mugogona kunzwisisa kuti zvakaisvonaka ndezvipi uye muve vakachena uye mushayiwe chamungapomerwa kusvikira pazuva raKristu,

for to approve you the [things] being excellent, so that you may be pure and blameless unto [the] day of Christ

11 muzere nechibereko chokururama chinouya kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, kuti kubwinya nokurumbidzwa zvive kuna Mwari.

filled (with [the] fruit *N(K)O*) of righteousness (that [is] *N(k)O*) through Jesus Christ to [the] glory and praise of God.

12 Zvino ndinoda kuti muzive, hama dzangu, kuti zvakaitika kwandiri zvakabatsira zvikuru kufambisa vhangeri.

To know now you I want, brothers, that the [things] concerning me myself really to [the] advancement of the gospel have turned out,

13 Nokuda kwaizvozvo, zvava pachena kuvarindi vomuzinda wamambo nokuna vose kuti ndiri mungetani nokuda kwaKristu.

so as for the chains of mine clearly known in Christ to have become in all the palace guard and to the rest all

14 Nokuda kwengetani dzangu, hama zhinji muna She dzakakurudzirwa kuti vataure shoko raMwari vakashinga zvikuru uye vasingatyi.

and most of the brothers in [the] Lord already trusting by the chains of mine more abundantly to dare fearlessly the word (of the God *O*) to speak.

15 Ichokwadi kuti vamwe vanoparidza Kristu negodo uye negakava, asi vamwe nenzira yakanaka.

Some indeed even from envy and strife, some however also from goodwill Christ are proclaiming.

16 Vamwe vanoita izvozvo murudo, vachiziva kuti ndakaiswa muno nokuda kwokudzivirira vhangeri.

the [ones] indeed out of love knowing that for defense of the gospel I am appointed;

17 Vamwe vaiparidza Kristu nomwoyo woruchiva, vasina kutendeka, vachifungidzira kuti vangandimutsira dambudziko ndichiri mungetani.

the [ones] however out of selfish ambition Christ are proclaiming not purely supposing tribulation (to add *N(k)O*) to the chains of mine.

18 Asi zvisinei hazvo, chinhu chinokosha ndechokuti munzira dzose, dzingava ndangariro dzenhema kana dzechokwadi, Kristu ari kuparidzwa hake. Uye nokuda kwaizvozvi ndinofara. Hongu, uye ndicharamba ndichifara,

What then? Only (that *no*) in every way whether in pretext or in truth Christ is proclaimed, And in this I rejoice Yes and I will rejoice.

19 nokuti ndinoziva kuti kubudikidza neminyengetero yenyu uye norubatsiro runopiwa noMweya waJesu Kristu, zvakaitika kwandiri zvichashanduka zvikava kusunungurwa kwangu.

I know for that this for me will turn out to deliverance through your prayer and [the] provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ

20 Ndinoshuva zvikuru nokutarira kuti handingazonyadziswi, asi ndichava nokushinga kwakakwana kuitira kuti zvino senguva dzose Kristu achakudzwa mumuviri wangu, muupenyu kana murufu.

according to the earnest expectation and hope of mine that in no [thing] I will be ashamed but in all boldness as always also now will be magnified Christ in the body of mine, whether through life or through death.

21 Nokuti kwandiri, kurarama ndiKristu uye kufa kupfuma.

To me myself for to live [is] Christ and to die [is] gain.

22 Kana ndikaramba ndichirarama mumuviri, izvi zvichareva kubata kune zvibereko kwandiri. Asi ndichasarudzeiko? Handizivi!

If [I am] however to live in flesh, this for me [is the] fruit of labor; And what will I choose Not I know!

23 Ndiri pakati pezvinhu zviviri zvinoti: Ndinoda kuenda kuti ndive naKristu, zvinova ndizvo zviri nani nokupfuuridza;

I am pressed (now *N(k)O*) between the two, the desire having for [myself] to depart and with Christ to be, very much (for *no*) more better;

24 asi zvinokoshawo zvikuru kwamuri kuti ndirambe ndiri mumuviri uyu.

but to remain in the flesh [is] more necessary for the sake of you.

25 Ndichitenda chinhu ichi, ndinoziva kuti ndichagara, uye ndicharamba ndinemi mose kuti mupfuurire mberi uye mufare mukutenda kwenyu,

And this having been persuaded of I know that I will remain and (will continue *N(k)O*) with all of you for your progress and joy of the faith,

26 kuitira kuti ndichinge ndadzoka kwamuri zvakare, mufaro wenyu muna Kristu Jesu ugozadziswa nokuda kwangu.

so that the boasting of you may abound to Christ Jesus in me myself through my coming again to you.

27 Zvisinei kuti chii chaitika kwandiri, murambe muchifamba nenzira yakafanira vhangeri raKristu. Ipapo, kunyange ndikauya kuzokuonai kana kunzwa nezvenyu ndisipo hangu, ndichaziva kuti mumire nesimba mumweya mumwe, muchirwa somunhu mumwe nokuda kwokutenda kwevhangeri,

Only worthily of the gospel of Christ do conduct yourselves, so that whether having come and having seen you or being absent (I shall hear *N(k)O*) the [things] concerning you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

28 musingatyiswi nenzira ipi zvayo neavo vanopikisana nemi. Ichi ndicho chiratidzo kwavari kuti vachaparadzwa, uye kuti imi muchaponeswa naMwari.

and not being frightened in nothing by those opposing [you]; which is to them (indeed *k*) a demonstration of destruction, (to you *N(k)O*) however of salvation, and this from God;

29 Nokuti makapiwa imi, nokuda kwaKristu, kuti musangotenda kwaari bedzi, asi kuti mutambudzike nokuda kwake,

For to you it has been granted concerning Christ, not only in Him to believe, but also concerning Him to suffer

30 sezvo muri mukurwa kumwe chete uku kwamakandiona ndinako, uye kwamunoziva zvino kuti ndichinako.

the same conflict having such as (you saw *N(k)O*) in me myself and now you hear of in me myself.
