Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
Paul ak Timothée, sèvitè-atache nèt a Jésus Kri yo, a tout fidèl ki nan Kris Jésus ki nan vil Philippe yo, menm avèk dirijan legliz ak dyak yo tou:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Lagras pou nou, ak lapè ki sòti nan Bondye, Papa nou an, e Senyè a Jésus Kri.
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
Mwen remèsye Bondye mwen an nan tout fwa ke m sonje nou.
4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
Mwen toujou ap ofri lapriyè avèk jwa nan kè m nan tout priyè mwen pou nou tout,
5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
akoz de patisipasyon nou nan levanjil la depi premye jou a jiska koulye a.
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Paske mwen gen konfyans menm nan bagay sa a; ke Sila ki te kòmanse fè yon bon zèv nan nou an, va byen konplete li jiska jou a Kris Jésus a.
7 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.
Paske li vrèman gen rezon ke m santi sa sou pati pa nou. Paske nou nan kè m akoz nou te patisipan depi lè m te nan prizon an, ni lè m t ap defann e konfime levanjil la nou te pataje gras la avè m.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
Paske Bondye se temwen mwen, de jan mwen anvi wè nou tout avèk tandrès a Kris Jésus a.
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
Mwen priye konsa, pou lanmou nou kapab ogmante ankò plis toujou nan vrè konesans, avèk tout bon jijman.
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,
Pou nou kapab vin dakò avèk bagay ki ekselan, pou nou kapab rete sensè e san fot jiska jou a Kris la;
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Se pou nou vin ranpli nèt avèk fwi ladwati ki vini atravè Jésus Kri a, pou laglwa ak lwanj a Bondye.
12 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,
Koulye a, mwen vle nou konnen, frè m yo, ke sikonstans mwen yo vin pase pou pi gran pwogrè levanjil la.
13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
Paske anprizonman mwen pou koz a Kris la vin konnen toupatou nan tout gad palè a e pa tout lòt moun yo.
14 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.
Epi pifò nan frè nou yo mete plis konfyans nan Senyè a akoz anprizonman m nan, e yo vin gen plis kouraj toujou pou pale pawòl Bondye a san krent.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
Asireman kèk nan yo menm ap preche Kris avèk lanvi ak konfli, men kèk tou ap preche l avèk senserite.
16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
Dènye nan sa yo, fè l avèk lanmou, paske yo konnen ke m te chwazi pou defans a levanjil la.
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
Premye sa yo pwoklame Kris avèk anbisyon pèsonèl, olye santiman de bon kè, akoz yo panse ke sa ka fè m chagren nan anprizonman mwen an.
18 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.
Alò, kisa? Sèlman nan chak ka, kit se nan pretèks kit se nan verite, Kris la pwoklame. E se nan sa mwen rejwi mwen. Wi, mwen va rejwi mwen.
19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Paske mwen konnen ke sa va sèvi pou delivrans mwen atravè lapriyè nou yo, ak pwovizyon Lespri Jésus Kri a.
20 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.
Selon sensè volonte ak esperans mwen, pou m pa vin wont nan anyen, men ke avèk tout kouraj, Kris va menm koulye a, kòm toujou egzalte nan kò m kit se nan lavi kit se nan lanmò.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Paske pou mwen menm viv se Kris e mouri se avantaj.
22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.
Men si mwen viv toujou nan lachè, sa va pote fwi pou travay mwen. Konsa, mwen pa menm konnen kilès pou m ta pito.
23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
Men mwen sanse presyon nan toulède direksyon yo. Mwen ta anvi ale, pou m kapab avèk Kris, paske sa pi bon anpil,
24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
men pou m rete nan lachè a pi nesesè pou koz a nou menm.
25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
Konvenk de sa, mwen konnen ke mwen va rete pou kontinye avèk nou tout, pou pwogrè ak lajwa nou nan lafwa.
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
Konsa konfyans fyète nou an nan mwen kapab vin debòde nan Jésus Kri lè mwen vin bò kote nou an ankò.
27 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;
Sèlman, kondwi tèt nou nan yon fason ki dign de levanjil a Jésus Kri a, pou si mwen vini wè nou oubyen rete absan, mwen kapab tande ke nou kanpe fèm nan yon sèl espri, avèk yon sèl panse, nan lite ansanm pou lafwa a levanjil la,
28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
san okenn perèz a lènmi nou yo, ki se yon sign destriksyon pou yo menm, men sali pou nou menm, e sa anplis, soti nan Bondye.
29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
Paske, a nou menm li te vin pèmèt, pou koz a Kris la, non sèlman pou kwè nan Li, men osi pou soufri pou koz Li.
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
Konsa nou ap pase menm konfli entèn ke nou te wè m pase a, e koulye a tande k ap fèt nan mwen.
