Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and ministrants;
Paulo na Timotheo, abhakosi bha Yesu Kristo, Kubhanu bhasolelwe mu Kristo bhanu bhekaye Bhufilipi, amwi na Abhakaluka na Abhafulubhendi.
2 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Echigongo chibhe amwi nemwe no omulembe gunu ogusoka ku Lata Nyamuanga weswe na Omukama weswe Yesu Kristo.
3 I give thanks to my God upon all the remembrance of you,
Enimusima Nyamuanga wani bhuli katungu kanu enibhechuka emwe bhona.
4 always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication,
Bhuli katungu mwisabhwa lyani kwimwe, ungwa nabhasabhilwa enikondelelwaga.
5 for your contribution to the good news from the first day till now,
Nili na isime nene kulwo obhumwi bhwemwe mu Injili kusokelela olunaku lwokwamba kukingila lelo.
6 having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform [it] till a day of Jesus Christ,
Nino obhuchimali ati unu ambisishe omulimo gwa kisi munda yemwe aligendelela ukugukumisha okukingila olusiku Leo Omukama Yesu Kristo.
7 according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and [in] the defence and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.
Nijakisi kulubhala lwani, okwiyungwa kutya ingulu yemwe bhona kulwokubha nibhateye mumwoyo gwani. Insonga emwe mwabheye bhejasu muchigongo na muchifungo chani mukubhambalila kwani no okumenyegesha (okusimbagilisha) Iinjili.
8 For God is my witness, how I long for you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ,
Nyamuanga kambambalila, lwakutyo nili na inamba ingulu yemwe bhona mulyenda lya ingulu muno elya Kristo Yesu.
9 and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment,
Mbe enisabhwa ati, elyenda lyemwe likule muno mubhumenyi nonobhwengeso bhwona.
10 for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless — to a day of Christ,
Enisabila omusango ogwo koleleki mube no obhutulo obhwo kulenga no okusola amakonde muno. Echakabhili enibhasabhwila koleleki mubhe bhelu ubhutabha na njuno yonayona olunaku lwa Kristo.
11 being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that [is] through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Echindi koleleki mwijusibhwe na litwasho lye echimali linu elibhonekana ku Yesu Kristo, kulwa likusho no obhukonde bhwa Nyamuanga.
12 And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come,
Mbe bhaili bhani, enenda nimenye kutya, amagambo ganu gambwene gakolele Iinjili igendelele muno.
13 so that my bonds have become manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to the other places — all,
Niyo insonga oungwa bhamboya kulwa injuno ya Kristo, okubhoywa kwani okumenywa na abhanu bhona na abhalindi bho obhwikalo bhwo omukama.
14 and the greater part of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold — fearlessly to speak the word.
Kulubhana ne ebhifungo bhyani, abhaili bhani Mumukama, bhekilisishe no okulegeja okulasha Omusango bhatali nabhubha.
15 Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through good-will, do preach the Christ;
Abhandi ni chimali abhamulasha Kristo kwo olwango no obhuyombo, abhandi abhakola kutyo kwo obhwiganilisha bhwekisi.
16 the one, indeed, of rivalry the Christ do proclaim, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds,
Bhanu abhamulasha Kristo kwe elyenda abhamenya ati nitewe anu kwa insonga yo okubhambala Iinjili.
17 and the other out of love, having known that for defence of the good news I am set:
Nawe abhandi abhamulasha Kristo kwo omutubho no omwoyo mubhibhi. Ebhetogela ati abhaleta jinyako kwanye muminyororo jani.
18 what then? in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed — and in this I rejoice, yea, and shall rejoice.
Kulwejo nitakukukwa, nikondelewe kulwokubha Kristo kalasibhwa kwa njila yonayona! Na niligendelela okukondelelwa!
19 For I have known that this shall fall out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,
Kulwokubha enimenya ati linu lililetelela ninigulilwa. Omusango gunu gulisokokoka kulwa lisabhwa lyemwe na kwo obhusakisi bhwa Mwoyo was Kristo.
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,
Okwingana na obhwiikanyo bhwani obhwe echimali ni kutya, nitalibhona nswalo. Badala yejo, kwa libhasi lyona, lwa kutyo jili nsiku jona kukinga olyanu, eniikanya ati Kristo alikusibhwa mumubhili gwani, mukatungu ko obhuanga no olufu.
21 for to me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain.
Kulwokubha kwanye, obhulame ni Kristo, okufwa kulimo libhona.
22 And if to live in the flesh [is] to me a fruit of work, then what shall I choose? I know not;
Nawe, labha okulama chimubhili okwibhula litwasyo mumilimu jani, kulwejo nitakumenya echokusola.
23 for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,
Kunsonga enisindikwa na ameganilisho gabhili ganu. Nina inamba yokusiga omubhili nibhe amwi na Kristo, echo nicho echinu cho obhugusi bhunene muno.
24 and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,
Tali okusigala mumubhili gunu ni gambo lya kisi sana ingulu yemwe.
25 and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,
Kulwokubha enimenya bhusibhusi ingulu yo omusango gunu, enimenya enisigala no okugendelela okubha amwi nemwe bhona, koleleki mugendelele no okukondelelwa mulikilisha.
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence again to you.
mukingile okubhona likusho ku Kristo Yesu, ingulu yani okubha enisubha okwikala amwi nemwe lindi.
27 Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,
Nawe ubhalame bhwemwe bhwinganilile lwakutyo Iinjili ya Kristo eyaika. Mukole kutyo koleleki nilibha naja okubhalola amo nikabhula okuja, nungwega ati mwimeleguyu obhutasingita mumwoyo gumwi, eninambaalila okungwa ati muli na Mwoyo gumwi, nimwisigombela elikilsha lya Iinjili ku bhumwi bhweme.
28 and not terrified in anything by those opposing, which to them indeed is a token of destruction, and to you of salvation, and that from God;
Nolwo mwasiga kubhaya echinu chonachona chinu echikolwa na abhasoko bhemwe. Echo kutyo kubhene ni chimenyegesho cho obhubhibhi. Nawe kwimwe ni chimenyegesho cho omwelulo okusoka ku Nyamuanga.
29 because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also on behalf of him to suffer;
Kunsonga emwe muyabhilwe kulwe emillimu ja Kristo, kutali kumwikilisha kwenyele, tali nokunyasibhwa ingulu yomwene.
30 the same conflict having, such as ye saw in me, and now hear of in me.
Kulwokubha muli na inyombo ilyailya lwakutyo mwailolele kwanye na omungwa lwakutyo ninayo okukingila olyanu.
