< 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:
Paulo nu Timoteo itumi ang'wa Kilisto u Yesu, awaniabaguwe mung'wa Kilisto niakiie ku Filipi palung'wi neemili, agozi.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ukende utule nunyenye nuupolo nuupumile kung'wi Tunda Tata nuitu nu Bwana witu u Yesu Kilisto.
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
Numusongeye Itunda nuane anga numukimbuke unye mehi.
4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
Kila ilompi lane ayi kunsoko anyu mehi kila nukulompa, ingi nilowa nukumulompela.
5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
Nkite masongelyo iduu kunsoko apalung'wi wanyu munkani ninza kupumiila luhiku la ng'wandyo sunga nilelo.
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.
Nkete ikulukulu kina nuanso naiwanzilye umulimo nuuza mukatii anyu ukulongolya kuumala sunga uluhiku nulang'wa Bwana u Yesu Kilisto.
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.
Inge uu kung'waane kija ite kung'waanyu mehi kunsoko numuikile munkolo ane. Kuite unye matula meeane muukende mukitungo kane ukuueli nuulagile nuane munkoni ninza.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
Itunda mukueli wane, ite nkite insula kunsoko anyu mihi ulowa nuawamukati ang'wa Kilisto u Yesu.
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
Haki kulompa kina: ulowa wanyu wongeeleke kukiila mahala nuulingi wehi.
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,
Kulompa kunsoko ite mutule nuuhumi nuakugemeelya nukusagula imakani nibahu kukila kuite kumulompeela gwa ite mutule miaza shangaeze mukete kimeli kehi muluhiku iang'wa Kilisto.
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Kuitegwa mizuligwe ninkali niyatai niyigeela mung'wa Yesu Kilisto, kuukulu nikolyo lang'wi Tunda.
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,
Itungile aluna ane, ndoilwe mulinge kina, imakani nakupila kung'wane naitumile nkani ninza ilongoleka ikulu.
13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
Yiyo ndogoilyo itungo yane mung'wa Kilisto, ulengekile kualindi niakulu ehi nukukila ung'wa muntu gwa.
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.
Nialuna iidu mung'wa mukulu, kunsoko atungo yane, ikapeng'wa nukugema nukugema kutanantya kaze agila uwoa.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
Iauyaao amutanantya itai ukilisto kuumeli nuwilei, niitegwa niangeza kisego niza.
16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
Awa neemutanatya ukilisto kuulowa alingile kina mbikilwe apa kunsoko akukuila utanantyi.
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
Ingi iidu akumutanatya ukilistokuing'wene kumasego nimabeisiga kina akuletekelya lwago iane mumunyololo ane.
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.
Kululoo? Shangankee, ang'wi inzila ikatula ulugu ang'we tai, ukilisto ukutanantigwa kuite ndoeigwa hangi ndoilwe.
19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Kunsoko ningile kina ite ikaleta kuluguilwa kung'wane, ikani ile likapumila kunsoko amalompi anyu nakuailya nung'waung'welu Yesu Kilisto.
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.
Kimpyana nuisumbyeli wane nuakulukulu nitai nikina shangakutula niminyala ang'wi ugimya wakwe wehi, anganaiza mahiku nitungele, nsumbiiye kina Ukilisto ukunansulwa mumueli wane, agaitule numupanga ang'wi numushi.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Kundogoilyo kung'wane unene kikie inge Kilisto nukusha inge nsailo.
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.
Kuite anganikie mumuieli yetuga nkali mumulimo wane, kululo shangaimine nileule nilakosagula.
23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
Ndogoilo nisukung'wa ikulu nimasego aya na mweeli. Nkete nsula akuleka umweli nukutula palung'we nu Kilisto kintu nikiza inge kansailo ikulukulu.
24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
Ganiite kuaga mumiile uwu inge lukani lamuhimu ikulukulu kunsoko anyu.
25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
Kunsoko nkete ikulukulu migulya aile, ningile ninikasaga nukulongoleka kutula palung'wi nunyenye mihe kunsoko aunoneli nuwahueli wanyu.
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
Nilikaleta uulowa wanyu nuukulu mung'wa Kilisto u Yesu kunsoko ane ikigeeleka, aukulu wane palung'wi nunyenye.
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;
Mutakiwe kikie ulikalo lanyu mulugendo nuluza nulutakiwe munkani ninza niang'wa Kilisto, nije kina mimekile ikomu kunkolo ing; wi, muzikilya uhueli nuankani ninza kupalung'wi.
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.
Hangi muleke kutumbwa nikintu kihe nulukutendwa nianya ulugu anyu ila kitalanyu ingi kilingasiilyo kaugunwa kupuma kung'wa Itunda.
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,
Kundogoilyo unyenye mikeigwe kunsoko ang'wa Kilisto, shangakumuhuela du, ila ganukigigwa ganung'wenso.
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
Kundogilyo mukete winyomi wuwowuwoo anga numuihangile kitalane hangi migule nukete ga milelo.
