Philippians 1
1 Polo ayi Timote, bisadi bi Yesu Klisto, bafidisidi nkanda kuidi banlongo boso mu Klisto Yesu badi ku Filipi ayi kuidi mintuadisi mi dibundu va kimosi ayi bisadi.
Paul and Timotheus, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with [the] overseers and ministers;
2 Bika nlemvo ayi ndembama bibedi kuidi Nzambi, Dise dieto, ayi Pfumuꞌeto Yesu Klisto bibanga yeno.
grace to you, and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Minu ndieti vutula matondo kuidi Nzambi ama mu mambu moso momo ndieti kulutebukilanga moyo.
I thank my God for my whole remembrance of you,
4 Ndieti sambila mu diambu dieno beno boso mu kadika diluaku ayimu khini ndieti buvangila mu kadika thangu;
constantly in my every supplication, making the supplication for you all with joy,
5 mu diambu di kithuadi ki luidi mu longa Nsamu Wumboti tona mu lumbu kitheti nate mu lumbu kiaki.
because of your fellowship with the gospel, from the first day until now;
6 Mu bila kioki ndidi diana dikuikama ti mutu wowo wutona kisalu kimboti mu beno wela kimanisa nate mu lumbu ki Yesu Klisto.
having confidence of this very thing, that he who has begun in you a good work will complete it unto Jesus Christ's day:
7 Didi difuana kuidi minu mu ba mayindu ma phila yoyi mu diambu dienobeno boso bila ndikulunatanga mu ntimꞌama; buba bu ndiba wukanga ayi bu ndinuanina Nsamu Wumboti ayi bu ndikuwukindisanga, beno luba yama mu kithuadi mu nlemvo wu nditambula.
as it is righteous for me to think this as to you all, because ye have me in your hearts, and that both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad tidings ye are all participators in my grace.
8 Nzambi niandi mbangiꞌama: mu phila ndieti kuluzodila beno boso mu luzolo lu Klisto Yesu.
For God is my witness how I long after you all in [the] bowels of Christ Jesus.
9 Tala diambu ndieti luta lombanga mu zitsambulu ziama: luzolo lueno lubuelama mu tezo kiviatukidi ayi luba diela ayi tsudukulu yimboti mu mamoso.
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all intelligence,
10 Buna luela tula mu tezo kisuasisila mambu malutidi kitoko. Buawu boboluela ba bavedila, bakambulu tsembolo nate mu lumbu ki Klisto
that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for Christ's day,
11 bu luela ba bawala mu mavanga masonga madi mu Yesu Klisto mu diambu di nkembo ayi nzitusu wu Nzambi.
being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which [is] by Jesus Christ, to God's glory and praise.
12 Zikhomba, thidi luzaba ti mambu momo ndibuilulu maluta sadisa mu tembikisa nsamu Wumboti.
But I would have you know, brethren, that the circumstances in which I am have turned out rather to the furtherance of the glad tidings,
13 Bila divula dioso ayi batu boso bankaka, bazebi buabu ti mu nloko ndidi mu diambu ndieti sadila Klisto.
so that my bonds have become manifest [as being] in Christ in all the praetorium and to all others;
14 Buela diaka, bakhomba bawombo, bu batula diana mu Pfumu mu diambu di zisieni ziama, baluta baka bufula bu yolukila mambu ma Nzambi mu kibakala ayi mu kambu boma.
and that the most of the brethren, trusting in [the] Lord through my bonds, dare more abundantly to speak the word of God fearlessly.
15 Bukiedika ti bankaka balembo longi Klisto mu diambu di kikheneneayi mu diambu di beti findisanga ziphaka. Muaki bankaka balembo longilanga wawu mu mayindu mamboti.
Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for good will, preach the Christ.
16 Batu baba balembo bu vangila mu luzolo bu bazebi ti minu ndivanu kisalu ki vavila Nsamu Wumboti.
These indeed out of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the glad tidings;
17 Vayi bobo bankaka, mu ziphaka kaka beti longila Nsamu Wumboti wu Klisto. Mayindu mawu masi ko mamboti. Batidi buela kumbonisa phasi mu ntima bu ndidi mu zisieni.
but those out of contention, announce the Christ, not purely, supposing to arouse tribulation for my bonds.
18 Buna buevi e? Muaki balongila mu luvunu voti mu kiedika, minundilembo moni khini bila Klisto wulembo longo. Ayi ndiela luta mona khini
What is it then? at any rate, in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, yea, also I will rejoice;
19 bila nzebi ti phulusu ama yawu tsukulu yi mambu mama, bu nzebi ti beno lulembo sambila mu diambu diama ayi Pheve yi Yesu Klistoyilembo tsadisa.
for I know that this shall turn out for me to salvation, through your supplication and [the] supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;
20 Bila diambu diodi ndilembo vingila ayi diodi tsididi dianadiwombo diawu diadi: ndilendi fuisu tsoni mu diambu dimosi ko. Buba buabu voti mu zithangu zioso, mu diambu di diana diama dingolo, bu nzebiti Klisto wela kemboso mu nituꞌama bu ndidi moyo voti bu mfuidi.
according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but in all boldness, as always, now also Christ shall be magnified in my body whether by life or by death.
21 Bila kuidi minu, Klisto niandi luzingu luama bosi lufua luidi ndandu yinneni.
For for me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain;
22 Vayi enati mfueti zinga mu nsuni, diodi mfunu didi mu sala diakakisalu ki Pfumu. Buna buabu ndikadi buela zaba diambu mbi mfueti sobula.
but if to live in flesh [is my lot], this is for me worth the while: and what I shall choose I cannot tell.
23 Buabu mambu muadi malembo mfietikisa: thidi vika kuenda ayi kala va kimosi ayi Klisto, bila diawu dilutidi mboti;
But I am pressed by both, having the desire for departure and being with Christ, [for] [it is] very much better,
24 vayi didi diambu di mfunu kuidi beno minu ndizinga mu nsuni.
but remaining in the flesh [is] more necessary for your sakes;
25 Bu ndidi diana diodi, nzebi ti ndiela zinga ayi ndiela vuandayeno beno boso mu diambu luenda ku ntuala ayi mu diambu di khini yi minu kieno;
and having confidence of this, I know that I shall remain and abide along with you all, for your progress and joy in faith;
26 muingi luluta kukiniemisa mu Klisto mu diambu diama bu ndiela vutuka kuidi beno.
that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus through me by my presence again with you.
27 Vayi bika ludiatila kaka mu khadulu yifueni mu diambu di Nsamu wu Klisto muingi buba ti ndizidi voti ndilumona, voti ndikambu kuiza, ndiwa ti beno luidi lutelama mu Pheve yimosi kaka ayi lunnuana mudiela dimosi mu diambu di minu ki Nsamu Wumboti,
Only conduct yourselves worthily of the glad tidings of the Christ, in order that whether coming and seeing you, or absent, I may hear of what concerns you, that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul, labouring together in the same conflict with the faith of the glad tidings;
28 mu kambu monoso tsisi kuidi bambeni zieno. Kioki kidi dimbu kikubamonisa ti bela bungu vayi kuidi beno kidi dimbu ki phulusu eno. Mamoso momo kuidi Nzambi maba.
and not frightened in anything by the opposers, which is to them a demonstration of destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;
29 Bila balumona kiadi, mu diambu di Klisto, bika sia ti mu diambu di kunwilukila kaka, vayi, ayi mu mona ziphasi mu diambu diandi;
because to you has been given, as regards Christ, not only the believing on him but the suffering for him also,
30 mu nduanunu yi mvita yimosi banga yoyi lumona ndinuana ayi luzebi ti ndikidi nuani nate buabu.
having the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear of in me.
