Philippians 4
1 Bakhomba baama ziluzolo, tsatu yi kulumona ndidi; beno lueti ku mbonisa khini yiwombo; beno luidi mfutuꞌama. Diawu bika luba bakinda mu phila yoyi, mu Pfumu, beno bakiluzolo bama.
Therefore, my brethren, dearly loved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my dearly-loved ones.
2 Minu ndileba Evodi ayi Sintisha, baba mayindu mamosi mu Pfumu.
I entreat Euodia, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of one mind, as sisters in Christ.
3 Ngeyo mamvaku, nkundi wukiedika wu kisalu, ndikulomba wusadisa baketo bobo banuana yama mu diambu di tembikisa Nsamu Wumboti, va kimosi ayi Kelema ayi bakundi bama bankaka ba kisalu bobo mazina mawu madi masonama mu Buku yi moyo.
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 Bika lumonanga khini mu zithangu zioso mu Pfumu. Ndieka buela vutukila, bika lumonanga khini.
Always be glad in the Lord: I will repeat it, be glad.
5 Bika lembama kueno kuzabakana muidi batu boso; Pfumu weka nduka.
Let your forbearing spirit be known to every one--the Lord is near.
6 Lubika banga mayindu kani mu diambu dimosi; vayi mu mambu moso bikaluzabikisa zitsatu zieno kuidi Nzambi mu lusambulu ayi mu zindombolo va kimosi ayi phutudulu matondo.
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 Buna ndembama yi Nzambi, yoyi yiviokidi diela dioso, yela keba mintimamieno ayi mayindu meno mu Klisto Yesu.
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 A bakhomba, mambu moso makiedika, mambu masonga, mambu moso mavedila, mambu moso mafueni mu zola, mambu moso mayenda tsangu yimboti, enati vadi diambu dimboti, diambu difueni niemoso; buna bika mambu momo maba mu mayindu meno.
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 Mambu momo lulonguka, momo lutambula, momo luwa, momo lumona kuidi minu bika lusadilanga mawu. Buna Nzambi yi ndembama wela banga yeno.
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 Khini yiwombo ndimona mu Pfumu bu lubeki diaka diluaku di kumbanzila. Nyinga, lutuama kumbanzila vayi lusia baka ko diluakudivangila diambu.
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 Ndisi tubila buawu ko mu diambu ndidi mfunu wu bima. Bila minu, mu zithangu zioso ndilonguka banga mu khini mu bima biobi bidi yama.
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 Minu nzebi zingila mu thangu yi tsukumunu ayi nzebi zingila mu thangu mbeki bima biwombo. Mu bima bioso ayi mu mambu moso minu ndilonguka mu ba wufuana mu thangu mbeki bidia, mu thangu ndidi nzala, mu thangu mbeki bima biwombo voti mu thangu ndidi wusukama.
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 Minu ndilenda vanga mambu mamo mu diambu di mutu wowo wukukhindisanga.
I have strength for anything through Him who gives me power.
14 Vayi diambu dimboti luvengi bu lufubikini mu ziphasi ziama.
Yet I thank you for taking your share in my troubles.
15 Beno veka basi Filipi luzebi bumboti ti va thonono tsamununu wu Nsamu Wumboti, bu ndibotuka ku Maseduani, kadi dibundu dimosi disiakutsadisa ko botula kaka beno.
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 Bu ndiba ku Tesalonika, khumbu yimosi voti zikhumbu zizole beno lumfidisila lusadusu mu mambu momo ndibela mfunu.
because even in Thessalonica you sent several times to minister to my needs.
17 Muaki ndisia tomba makaba ko vayi ndintomba mimbutu miba miwombo mu diambu dieno.
Not that I crave for gifts from you, but I do want to see abundant fruit bring you honour.
18 Minu nditambula bima bioso, ayi mbeki biwombo; ndieka ayi bima bifuana tona Epafolodite kandatini makaba maba kuidi beno. Mawu maba banga malasi matsudi yi kitoko, makaba maviku momo Nzambi kakikinina ayi mammonisa khini.
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 Nzambiꞌama wela yukutisa zitsatu zieno; boso buididi kimvuama kiandi ki nkembo mu Klisto Yesu.
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 Luvana mboti kuidi banlongo badi mu Klisto Yesu. Bakhomba badi yama vava baluveni mboti.
My Christian greetings to every one of God's people. The brethren who are with me send their greetings.
22 Banlongo boso baluveni mboti vayi bobo beti vuanda ku nzo Sezali balutidi kuluvana mboti.
All God's people here greet you--especially the members of Caesar's household.
23 Bika nlemvo wu Pfumuꞌeto Yesu Klisto wubanga yeno.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.
