1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
Paulo na Timotheo atumwa ba yesu kristo, kwabalo babatengwile katika kristo baba tana filipi, pamope na babaangalia na mashemasi.
2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Neema naibile kwinu na amani ya ibaka kwa nnongo tatebitu na nngwana witu yesu kristo.
3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
nimshukuru nnongo kila panin kombokya mwenga mwabote.
4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
Mara yote katika kila loba kwanga kwaajili yinu mwenga mwabote. Nenda pulaikaga panimobyaga.
5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
Ninashukrani yambone kwa sababu ya ushirika winu katika injili tango masobagakwanza mpaka leno.
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Nina hakika kwamba hwembe hwatumbulisha kazi njema nkatiyinu ayendelwa kwikamilisha mpaka lisoba la nngana yesu kristo.
7 Even as it is meet for me to think this 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, all of you all are partakers of my grace.
Ni sawa kwango kwisikiavyo juu yinu mwanga mwa bote kwasababu nimekie pamoja wango. mana mwenga mubile mwaashirika ayango latika neema katika kwitaba kwango na utetezi na uthibitishaji wango wa injili.
8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
Nn”ungo nishahidi wango, jinsi mwamibile nashauku juu yinu mwabote katika undani wapendo la kristo yesu.
9 And this I pray, that your love (agape) may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
Naniloba kwamba; upendo winu uyongekeye zaidi katika marifa na ufaham wote.
10 That all of you may approve things that are excellent; that all of you may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.
Niloba kaajili ya neno ilimabe nawezo walengana saw, namambo gagabile bora sana. kae nenda kanobya ili besafi pasipo bantia yoyote katika lisoba kristo.
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Nakae ili mutweleewe nalitunda lahaki lipatikanelo. katika yesu kristo, kwautukufu na sifa ya nnongo.
12 But I would all of you should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
Sasa mwalongo bango, mbala ntange kuwa mamo gagapitike kwango gaipangite injili iyendeli sana.
13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
Ndio maana kwitabu kwinu katika kristo, itanganikwe kwa alizi baikulu yote na kwakila mundu kae.
14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word (logos) without fear.
Naa longo bababile kaika nngwana, kwasbabu ya kwitaba kwango, batishawishika nathubutu kulihubiri neno pasipo hofu
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
baadhi kweli hala kumtanga kristo kwa fitina naugovi, na kae benge kwania njema.
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
Balo babalangaza kristo kwa upendo batangite mbekilwe pano kwaajili ya utetezi wainjili.
17 But the other of love, (agape) knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
Bali bonge matangaza kristo kwa ubinafsi na kwa nia mbaya. pagani kwasababisha matatizo kwango katika minyororo yango.
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Kwanyo? mjalili, aidha nijalili ndela hibile kwa hila au kakweli, kristo ondatangazwa na katika leno nanda palaikya! ndiyo nenenda palaika.
19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit (pneuma) of Jesus Christ,
Kwa kwaa ndikite leno laleba yugolekwa kwango. Jambo lino huapita kwasababu ya malobo binu na msaada wa roho hua krsisto.
20 According to my earn expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
Lengana na matarajilo gango gawakika nagakweli ni kwamba nibonali oni. Badala yake kwaujqsiri wote kati ambavyo mosabagoli na sasa ndarajila kuwa kristo apala kakatuliwa katika yoga yango, manaibile katika ukoto au katika kiwo.
21 In order to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Kwa maana kwango, nenga lamanikistro na waa nifaida.
22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I know not.
Lakini maa natana katika yoga mboleke litnda katika kazi ya mnongo, kwanyo ndititelii lyako lyakulisawa.
23 For I am in a strait between two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Maana nenda yaleka yega napanga panope na kristo, kilebe ambaso chathamani munomuno.
24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more necessary for you.
Ingawa igala kwayega yono nijambo la muhimu muna kwaajili yinu.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
Kwa kuwa nible nauakika juu yaleno, nitengite naigala nanayendelya baapamipe namwenga mwbote, kwaajili yamaendeleo na furaha ya imani yhinu.
26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
Nal ino lipaleta furaha yhinu ngolo katika kristo yesu, kwasababu bakwango panope na mwenga.
27 Only let your conversation be as it becomes the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that all of you stand fast in one spirit, (pneuma) with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
Mpalikwa mahishi maisha ginu katika mwenendo. Mzuri wamipasa injili ya kristo. mpangenyo ilipanaisa kwinu la au mana ninaisali, niyowe nyemeliko imara katika roho jlmo, mwendashinia, imani ya injili kwa panope.
28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
nakamantishike nakilebe sosote sakipangilwe na madai ginu. yheno kwabe mishara ya ualibifu. bali kwinu nilishara ya wokovu bokya kwanaongo.
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
kwamana mwenga mutipeyeliwa kwaajil ya kristo, nimwanilelibai bali nateseka kai katika yhwembe.
30 Having the same conflict which all of you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
kwamaa mwina mgogoro wolywolya katika wamubenwikwango namwanda yowa kwamba nibilenao hata mbiya mbeno.
