< Philippians 1 >

1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Yeshua the Messiah, to all the holy ones in Messiah Yeshua who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
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.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
Tukummendela umbone ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni kwa Ambuje ŵetu Kilisito Yesu.
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
Ngwatogolela Akunnungu ŵangu katema kose pangunkumbuchila.
4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
Katema kose pangumpopelela ŵanyamwe wose, ngupopela njisengwaga,
5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
kwa yankuti kamulangana ni une, pa masengo ga kwalalichila ŵandu Ngani Jambone, chitandile lyuŵa lyaandanda lila mpaka lelo jino.
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Yeshua the Messiah.
Isyene ngumanyilila kuti Akunnungu juŵagatandisye masengo gambone ga mmitima mwenu, chagajendelechesye mpaka pachigamalile pa lyuŵa lya kuuja Kilisito Yesu lila.
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 defence and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
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.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Messiah Yeshua.
Akunnungu ali jwaumboni jwangu kuti ngusala isyene kuti ngunnonyela ŵanyamwe kwa ntima wangu wose, kwa unonyelo ulaula wa Kilisito Yesu.
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
Ngwapopelela Akunnungu kuti unonyelo wenu ujonjecheke kukula nnopennope ni nkole lunda ni umanyilisi,
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offence to the day of Messiah,
kuti nkombole kusagula indu yaili yambone. Sooni mitima jenu jiwoneche jeswela, ŵangali magambo mpaka lyuŵa lya kuuja Kilisito lila.
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Yeshua the Messiah, to the glory and praise of God.
Utame wenu tiugumbaswe ipanganyo yambone paujo pa Akunnungu yaikutyochela kwa Kilisito Yesu pe, kwa ligongo lya ukulu ni ulape wa Akunnungu.
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,
Achalongo achinjangu ngusaka mmanyilile kuti, iyasimene yangamwisye kwannope kwenesya Ngani Jambone.
13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Messiah,
Kwa ligongo lyo ŵakulindilila wose ŵa nyuumba ja mwenye, pamo ni ŵane wose, akumanyilila kuti ndili mchitaŵiko, ligongo ngwatumichila Kilisito.
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.
Kutaŵikwa kwangu kwatesile achalongo ŵajinji ŵaŵankulupilile Ambuje kuchalila kwannope mu kulalichila Liloŵe lya Akunnungu pangali lipamba.
15 Some indeed proclaim Messiah even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
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.
16 The former insincerely proclaim Messiah from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
Ŵandu ŵa ntima wambone akulalichila Ngani Jambone kwa ntima wa unonyelo, akumanyilila kuti Akunnungu ambele masengo ga, gakujichenjela Ngani Jambone.
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defence of the Good News.
Ŵandu ŵane wo akulalichila Ngani Jambone ja Kilisito kwa ntima wangalumbana ni ngaŵa kwa ntima wambone. Ŵanyawo akuganichisya kuti tanyonjechesye kulaga nkutaŵikwa kwangu.
18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Messiah is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
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,
19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Yeshua the Messiah,
pakuŵa ngumanyilila kuti kwakupopela kwenu ni kwa ukamuchisyo wa Mbumu jwa Che Yesu Kilisito chingulupuswe kutyochela nkutaŵikwa.
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Messiah will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
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.
21 For to me to live is Messiah, and to die is gain.
Pakuŵa kwa uneji kutama kuli kwatumichila Kilisito ni kuwa kuli kwambone nnope.
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.
Nambo iŵaga kwendelechela kutama chingombole kupanganya masengo kwa kwakamuchisya ŵandu ŵane, pelepo nganguchimanyilila chakusagula.
23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Messiah, which is far better.
Ndili pamalekano, ngusaka kutyoka mu chilambo chino nyaule kutama ni Kilisito pakuŵa chelecho chili chindu chambone kupunda,
24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
nambo chili chindu chambone nnope kwa ligongo lya ŵanyamwe najendelechelaga kutama.
25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
None ngumanyilila kuti chindame. Ni chinyendelechele kutama ni ŵanyamwe wose kuti nyendelechele kunkamuchisya mchikulupi ni kukola lukondwa.
26 that your boasting may abound in Messiah Yeshua in me through my presence with you again.
Nipele pachinjiŵa sooni ni ŵanyamwe chinkole ligongo lya kupunda kulifunila nkati une mu utame wenu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu.
27 Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Messiah, 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;
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.
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.
Ngasimwajogopa kose ŵammagongo ŵenu, katema kose muukamulisye ntima. Chelechi chichiŵe chimanyisyo chisyene kwa ŵanyawo kuti chajonasiche, nambo ŵanyamwe chimpunde pakuŵa ukulupusyo ukutyochela kwa Akunnungu.
29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Messiah, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ampele ŵanyamwe lipesa lya kwatumichila Kilisito, ngaŵa kwa kukulupilila pe, nambo ni kwakulagaswa kwa ligongo lyao.
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
Sambano nkukamulana none pa ngondo. Ngondo jijojo jimwaweni njimenyanaga kalakala mpaka sambano ndili kungondo mpela inkuti pakupilikana.
