Filibiya 4
1 Bara nani, nuwana nin alenge nan indi nin suu we ndi nin ghinu kibinei, anu ghe re liburi limang nin kitik tigo, nlo liboo we yisinan nin na kara nyan Cikilari, adondong nin anan suu.
So then, my dear Brothers, whom I am longing to see — you who are my joy and my crown, stand fast in union with the Lord, dear friends.
2 Indin fo Eyudiya nin Sintiki ku acara imin kaa kibinei nyan Cikilari.
I entreat Euodia, and I entreat Syntyche, to live in harmony, in union with the Lord;
3 Nya na adadu, indin fo minu acara anan kiden kataa ligowe nin mi, ibuun awani ale bara na ina su kataa nin me nkosu nliru umang ligowe nin Klement a ngisin na nan kataa we, ale natisamine din na nya ku takardan nlai.
yes, and I ask you, my true comrade, to help them, remembering that they toiled by my side in spreading the Good News; and so, too, did Clement and my other fellow-workers, whose names are ‘in the Book of Life.’
4 Suun liburi liboo na nya Cikilari kokishii. Tutung ima woru, suun liburi liboo.
All joy be yours at all times in your union with the Lord. Again I repeat — All joy be yours.
5 Na vat nanit yinin minu bara nshew mine. Cikilaren da duru.
Let your forbearing spirit be plain to every one. The Lord is near.
6 Yenje iwa su ukpilizu ko nimong. Nnani, nyan nlira nin kuculu a ugodo nan Kutelle imon vat.
Do not be anxious about anything; but under all circumstances, by prayer and entreaty joined with thanksgiving, make your needs known to God.
7 Nmang Kutelle, na mi katin uyinnu vat, ma yenju nibinei nin kpilizu mine nyan Kristi Yesu.
Then the Peace of God, which is beyond all human understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and thoughts, through your union with Christ Jesus.
8 Nmalzine vat, linuwana, vat nile imon na kidegen nari, vat nile ile imon na igongong ghari, vat nile imon na idi dert, ile imon vat na idi lau, ile imon vat na in suu wari, ile imon vat na idi nin liru ucine, indi imomon duku na kaun, indi imon duku in liruu, kpilizan kitene ne le imone.
In conclusion, Brothers, wherever you find anything true or honourable, righteous or pure, loveable or praiseworthy, or if ‘virtue’ and ‘honour’ have any meaning, there let your thoughts dwell.
9 Imone na ina yinin inin sere inin lanza inin yene kitinin, suun ile imone. Kutellen mmang ma soo nanghinu.
All that you learned and received and heard and saw in me put into practice continually; and then God, the giver of peace, will be with you.
10 Liganghe nene ndi nin liburi liboo gbardang na nya Cikilari bara na idursoi usuu. Kidegen ina mai udursui usuu, ama na ina se kubi ibuuni ba.
It was a matter of great joy to me, as one in union with the Lord, that at length your interest in me had revived. The interest indeed you had, but not the opportunity.
11 Nan din belu ile imone bara nan di nin suu nimomonari ba. Meng na yinin usoo nin liburi liboo nyan vat nile imon na idi.
Do not think that I am saying this under the pressure of want. For I, however I am placed, have learned to be independent of circumstances.
12 Nnyiru likimon, nnin kuru nyiro use. Kolome libau nin vat nin mon nyiru usiri nshitu caut so un soo nin kukpon, nin woro udumun gbardang sa udin piziru.
I know how to face humble circumstances, and I know how to face prosperity. Into all and every human experience I have been initiated — into plenty and hunger, into prosperity and want.
13 Nyan suu imon vat na nya me ule na adin tiziyi akara.
I can do everything in the strength of him who makes me strong!
14 Na nya nani wan, una su gegene kubi koo na nwadi na nya nijari.
Yet you have acted nobly in sharing my troubles.
15 Anun yiru, anun Anan Filibiya, nyan cizinu kadure kubi koo na nwa cin Umakaduniya, nan kon kutii kulau wa wutiyi kimal nyan ni nin seru ba sei anun cas.
And you at Philippi know, as well as I, that in the early days of the Good News — at the time when I had just left Macedonia — no Church, with the one exception of yourselves, had anything to do with me as far as giving and receiving are concerned.
16 Udu kubi koo na nwa din Tassalunika, na so urum ari iwa tuu yi nin buunu ba.
Indeed, even while I was still in Thessalonica, you sent more than once to relieve my wants.
17 Na ndin piziru nfilluere ba. Bara nani, nnaadin piziru kumatere na kudin kpizinu ulin ubun mine.
It is not that I am anxious for your gifts, but I am anxious to see the abundant return that will be placed to your account. I have enough of everything, and to spare.
18 Nna seru imon vat, nnin dumun gbardang. Nshito. Nna seru unuzu Epaproditus imone unuzu kitime. Kunye liin kang, kunin kun seruari imon nnakpu na idin puzu Kutelle liburi.
My wants are fully satisfied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts which you sent me — the sweet fragrance of a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.
19 Tutung Kutelle nin ma shitu nin ghinu bara use me nyan gongong Kristi Yesu.
And my God, out of the greatness of his wealth, will, in glory, fully satisfy your every need, through your union with Christ Jesus.
To him, our God and Father, be ascribed all glory for every and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Lisso anan yinnu vat nan nyan Kristi Yesu. Linuwa na longo nalidi nin mi din lissu minu.
Give my greeting to every one of the People of Christ Jesus. The Brothers who are with me send your their greetings.
22 Anan yinnu vat kikane din lissu minu, masamman ananya kilarin Kaisariya.
All Christ’s People here, and especially those who belong to the Emperor’s household, send theirs.
23 Na ubolun Cikilari Yesu Kristi soo nan ruhu mine. Usoo nani.
May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ rest on your souls.
