Ŵafilipi 1
1 Une che Paolo pamo ni che Timoseo, ŵakutumichila ŵa Kilisito Yesu, tukunnembela ŵanyamwe, ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu wose ŵankutama ku Filipi ŵanlumbikene ni Kilisito Yesu, pamo ni achakulu ni achikamusi ŵa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
2 Tukummendela umbone ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni kwa Ambuje ŵetu Kilisito Yesu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Ngwatogolela Akunnungu ŵangu katema kose pangunkumbuchila.
I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you,
4 Katema kose pangumpopelela ŵanyamwe wose, ngupopela njisengwaga,
always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy,
5 kwa yankuti kamulangana ni une, pa masengo ga kwalalichila ŵandu Ngani Jambone, chitandile lyuŵa lyaandanda lila mpaka lelo jino.
for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now;
6 Isyene ngumanyilila kuti Akunnungu juŵagatandisye masengo gambone ga mmitima mwenu, chagajendelechesye mpaka pachigamalile pa lyuŵa lya kuuja Kilisito Yesu lila.
being confident of this very thing, that he which began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:
7 Nguŵajilwa kuganisya kwanti nyi nkati ŵanyamwe, ligongo ngunkumbuchila katema kose. Pakuŵa mwakamulene none pa umbone ula umbegwilwe ni Akunnungu wa kujichenjela ni kujilimbisya Ngani Jambone katema panaliji mu chitaŵiko ni panaliji nechelelwe.
even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers with me of grace.
8 Akunnungu ali jwaumboni jwangu kuti ngusala isyene kuti ngunnonyela ŵanyamwe kwa ntima wangu wose, kwa unonyelo ulaula wa Kilisito Yesu.
For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
9 Ngwapopelela Akunnungu kuti unonyelo wenu ujonjecheke kukula nnopennope ni nkole lunda ni umanyilisi,
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
10 kuti nkombole kusagula indu yaili yambone. Sooni mitima jenu jiwoneche jeswela, ŵangali magambo mpaka lyuŵa lya kuuja Kilisito lila.
so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ;
11 Utame wenu tiugumbaswe ipanganyo yambone paujo pa Akunnungu yaikutyochela kwa Kilisito Yesu pe, kwa ligongo lya ukulu ni ulape wa Akunnungu.
being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
12 Achalongo achinjangu ngusaka mmanyilile kuti, iyasimene yangamwisye kwannope kwenesya Ngani Jambone.
Now I would have you know, brethren, that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the gospel;
13 Kwa ligongo lyo ŵakulindilila wose ŵa nyuumba ja mwenye, pamo ni ŵane wose, akumanyilila kuti ndili mchitaŵiko, ligongo ngwatumichila Kilisito.
so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest;
14 Kutaŵikwa kwangu kwatesile achalongo ŵajinji ŵaŵankulupilile Ambuje kuchalila kwannope mu kulalichila Liloŵe lya Akunnungu pangali lipamba.
and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15 Isyene, ŵampepe mwa ŵandu wo akulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito kwa wiu ni umenyani, nambo ŵandu ŵane akulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito kwa ntima wambone wa kwakamuchisya ŵandu.
Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 Ŵandu ŵa ntima wambone akulalichila Ngani Jambone kwa ntima wa unonyelo, akumanyilila kuti Akunnungu ambele masengo ga, gakujichenjela Ngani Jambone.
the one [do it] of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel:
17 Ŵandu ŵane wo akulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito kwa ntima wangalumbana ni ngaŵa kwa ntima wambone. Ŵanyawo akuganichisya kuti tanyonjechesye kulaga nkutaŵikwa kwangu.
but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds.
18 Ngaŵa chindu kwangu une! Une ngusengwa iŵaga ŵandu akulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito mwamulimose, atamuno kwa ntima wambone pane kwa ntima wangalumbana. Sooni tinyendelechele kusengwa,
What then? only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
19 pakuŵa ngumanyilila kuti kwakupopela kwenu ni kwa ukamuchisyo wa Mbumu jwa Che Yesu Kilisito chingulupuswe kutyochela nkutaŵikwa.
For I know that this shall turn to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 Chingusaka ni chingulolela, ninajaluche kwa kuleka kupanganya ingusachilwa kupanganya. Nambo ngamuliswe ntima moŵa gose nnopennope sambano, kuti nankusye Kilisito mu utame mu chiilu changu, iŵaga ndili jwanjumi pane ndili wile.
according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be put to shame, but [that] with all boldness, as always, [so] now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
21 Pakuŵa kwa uneji kutama kuli kwatumichila Kilisito ni kuwa kuli kwambone nnope.
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 Nambo iŵaga kwendelechela kutama chingombole kupanganya masengo kwa kwakamuchisya ŵandu ŵane, pelepo nganguchimanyilila chakusagula.
But if to live in the flesh, —[if] this is the fruit of my work, then what I shall choose I wot not.
23 Ndili pamalekano, ngusaka kutyoka mu chilambo chino nyaule kutama ni Kilisito pakuŵa chelecho chili chindu chambone kupunda,
But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:
24 nambo chili chindu chambone nnope kwa ligongo lya ŵanyamwe najendelechelaga kutama.
yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
25 None ngumanyilila kuti chindame. Ni chinyendelechele kutama ni ŵanyamwe wose kuti nyendelechele kunkamuchisya mchikulupi ni kukola lukondwa.
And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;
26 Nipele pachinjiŵa sooni ni ŵanyamwe chinkole ligongo lya kupunda kulifunila nkati une mu utame wenu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu.
that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
27 Nipele, chachikusachilwa utame wenu uŵe wakuŵajilana ni Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito, kuti atamuno naikaga pane iŵaga ngangwika, mbilikane kuti nkwima chiimile ni kwa ntima umo, ni wose kwa pamo nchichichenjelaga chikulupi chachikwika ni Ngani Jambone.
Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you or be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;
28 Ngasimwajogopa kose ŵammagongo ŵenu, katema kose muukamulisye ntima. Chelechi chichiŵe chimanyisyo chisyene kwa ŵanyawo kuti chajonasiche, nambo ŵanyamwe chimpunde pakuŵa ukulupusyo ukutyochela kwa Akunnungu.
and in nothing affrighted by the adversaries: which is for them an evident token of perdition, but of your salvation, and that from God;
29 Pakuŵa Akunnungu ampele ŵanyamwe lipesa lya kwatumichila Kilisito, ngaŵa kwa kukulupilila pe, nambo ni kwakulagaswa kwa ligongo lyao.
because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:
30 Sambano nkukamulana none pa ngondo. Ngondo jijojo jimwaweni njimenyanaga kalakala mpaka sambano ndili kungondo mpela inkuti pakupilikana.
having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
