Bafilipi 1
1 Njame Paulo ne Timoti basha ba Yesu Klistu. Tulalembelenga bantu bonse ba Lesa bali ku Filipi abo bekatana muli Yesu Klistu kubikapo ne batangunishi ne beshikunyamfwilisha bonse ba mubungano uyo.
Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
2 Neco Lesa Bata ne Mwami Yesu Klistu amupe kwina moyo ne lumuno.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Nkute kulumba Lesa wakame cindi ciliconse ndamwanukanga
I thank my God whenever I remember you,
4 Pacindi ciliconse ndamupaililanga, nkute kumupailila mwakukondwa.
always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
5 Ndelela kumulumba pakwinga kufuma kumatatikilo mpaka lelo, mulanyamfwa kumwaya Mulumbe Wayina.
for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
6 Neco ndashoma kwambeti mulimo wayina uyo Lesa ngwalatatiki muli njamwe, mpaka nakaupwililishe pa Busuba bwakubwela kwa Yesu Klistu.
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 Lyonse nkute kumuyeya mumoyo mwakame. Neco celela kwambeti nyumfwe mushoboyu pacebo cenu, pakwinga mulaba nenjame mu colwe Lesa ncalampa kutatikila pacindi mpondanga wasunguluka kushikila cino cindi mpondi mujele kwambeti Mulumbe Wayina ube wayuminishiwa kayi ne kutabilila.
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 Lesa ekamboni wakame kwambeti nicakubinga ndimusuni ne moyo wakame wonse kupitila mulusuno lwa Yesu Klistu mwine.
For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
9 Mupailo wakame niwakwambeti lusuno lwenu lukulenga cindi conse pamo ne lwinshibo lwakunyumfwishisha,
This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
10 kwambeti mucikonshe kusala bintu byaina, lino nimukabe baswepa kayi balulama pa Busuba bwakubwela kwa Yesu Klistu.
so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,
11 Bwikalo bwenu nibube bwalulama bweshi bubonekenga kupitila mukunyamfwilishiwa ne Yesu Klistu kwambeti bantu bonse balumbaishe ne kulemeka Lesa.
being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Ndayandanga kwambeti mobanse bame, mwinshibeti bintu bilanjinshikili bilanyamfwilishi kumwaya Mulumbe Waina.
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 Pacebo ici bashilikali bonse beshikulangilila ng'anda ya mwami, ne bantu nabambi balenshibi kwambeti ame ndi mujele pacebo cakuba musebenshi wa Yesu Klistu.
so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
14 Neco kuba mu jele kwakame kulabayuminishi banse bangi bashoma Klistu, kukambaukunga Mulumbe Waina kwakubula buyowa.
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 Mpobali bantu nabambi balakambaukunga Mulumbe Waina pacebo cakwambeti bakute minyono kayi nibantu beshikuyandowa mambaulwa, nomba mpobali nabambi balenshinga mulimo uyu munshila yaina.
Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
16 Aba balenshinga mulimo uyu mulusuno, pakwinga bacinshi kwambeti Lesa walampa mulimo wakukwabilila Mulumbe Waina.
The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
17 Nabambi nkabalakambaukunga Klistu mushila yalulama, nsombi kufuma mukuliyanda kwabo. Pakwinga bakute kuyeyeti nibambikilepo byeshikubaba pacindi mpondi mujele.
but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
18 Kuliyawa mulandu! na balakambaukunga Yesu munshila shapusana pusana, nambi iba nshila yaina nambi yaipa. Lino ame nimbenganga wakondwa,
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 pakwinga ndicinsheti kupitila mumipailo yenu ne lunyamfo lwa Mushimu Uswepa wa Yesu Klistu ame ninkasungululwe.
For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 Neco kuyandishisha ne lushomo lwakame nikwambeti nteshi ngalilwe mulimo wakame, kwambeti Yesu alemekwe lino, ne cindi conse, nambi cibeti mfwa, nambi mba muyumi.
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 Pakwinga kulinjame kuba ne buyumi ni kusebensela Yesu, kayi na mfwa ni pindu.
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 Nomba na ndapitilishi kuba ne buyumi ngacimpa colwe cakusebensa mulimo wela kusumpula ncito, nkandicinshi na ngansalapo cipeyo.
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 Lino ndaba pamampambanya anshila shibili, moyo naumbi ulandanga kwambeti nshiye buyumi bwapacishi capanshi kuya akuba ne Klistu, pakwinga ici ecintu cainapo pali byonse.
But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
24 Nomba pacebo cenu caina kwambeti mbe ne buyumi.
Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
25 Kwakutatonshanya ndashoma kwambeti nimbe ne buyumi kayi nekupitilisha kuba nenjamwe mwense kwambeti nyamfwilishe kukulisha lushomo lwenu kayi mwakukondwa.
Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
26 Kwambeti pacindi ncoshi nkese kulinjamwe mukabe ne cebo cakutwanga muli Yesu Klistu mubuyumi bwenu.
that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
27 Cinene nikwambeti bwikalo bwenu bube mbuli Mulumbe Waina ncolambanga sha Klistu. Nambi mba pepi nenjamwe, nambi mba patali, ndayandanga kunyumfwa kwambeti mwemana cakushimpa ne moyo umo. Kayi ndayandanga kunyumfwa kwambeti mulanyamfwananga ne kunyumfwana pakulwana nkondo yakukwabilila lushomo lulafumunga mu Mulumbe Waina.
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 Kamutasuminisha balwani benu kwambeti bamuyoshenga pa cintu ciliconse, neco kamuliyuminishani kwambeti benshibeti nibakonongeke kayi amwe nimukapuluke, pakwinga Lesa endiye weshakamulwanine.
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 Pakwinga mulapewa colwe cakusebensela Yesu klistu, kayi kutambeti kushoma Yesu Klistu enkowa sobwe, nsombi nekupita mubintu byeshikubaba pacebo cakendi.
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 Nenjamwe mulalwananga inkondo yopeleyo njomwalambona kandwana. Endiyo njondicilwana ne lino mbuli ncomulanyumfunga.
having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
