Abhafilipi 1
1 Paulo na Timotheo, abhakosi bha Yesu Kristo, Kubhanu bhasolelwe mu Kristo bhanu bhekaye Bhufilipi, amwi na Abhakaluka na Abhafulubhendi.
Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, together with the bishops and deacons:
2 Echigongo chibhe amwi nemwe no omulembe gunu ogusoka ku Lata Nyamuanga weswe na Omukama weswe Yesu Kristo.
Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Enimusima Nyamuanga wani bhuli katungu kanu enibhechuka emwe bhona.
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,
4 Bhuli katungu mwisabhwa lyani kwimwe, ungwa nabhasabhilwa enikondelelwaga.
always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy
5 Nili na isime nene kulwo obhumwi bhwemwe mu Injili kusokelela olunaku lwokwamba kukingila lelo.
on account of your fellowship in the cause of the gospel from the first day until now;
6 Nino obhuchimali ati unu ambisishe omulimo gwa kisi munda yemwe aligendelela ukugukumisha okukingila olusiku Leo Omukama Yesu Kristo.
being confident of this very thing, that he who began in you a good work, will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus;
7 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.
even as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, all of you being sharers of the grace bestowed on me.
8 Nyamuanga kambambalila, lwakutyo nili na inamba ingulu yemwe bhona mulyenda lya ingulu muno elya Kristo Yesu.
For God is my witness how much I long for you all in the tender affection of Christ Jesus.
9 Mbe enisabhwa ati, elyenda lyemwe likule muno mubhumenyi nonobhwengeso bhwona.
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all discernment;
10 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.
so that ye may approve the things that are most excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence against the day of Christ,
11 Echindi koleleki mwijusibhwe na litwasho lye echimali linu elibhonekana ku Yesu Kristo, kulwa likusho no obhukonde bhwa Nyamuanga.
being filled with the fruit of righteousness which is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Mbe bhaili bhani, enenda nimenye kutya, amagambo ganu gambwene gakolele Iinjili igendelele muno.
But I wish you to know, brethren, that things with me have resulted in the furtherance of the gospel;
13 Niyo insonga oungwa bhamboya kulwa injuno ya Kristo, okubhoywa kwani okumenywa na abhanu bhona na abhalindi bho obhwikalo bhwo omukama.
so that my bonds have become known in connection with Christ in the whole camp of the imperial guards, and to all the rest;
14 Kulubhana ne ebhifungo bhyani, abhaili bhani Mumukama, bhekilisishe no okulegeja okulasha Omusango bhatali nabhubha.
and that the great part of the brethren, made confident in the Lord by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Abhandi ni chimali abhamulasha Kristo kwo olwango no obhuyombo, abhandi abhakola kutyo kwo obhwiganilisha bhwekisi.
Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good will.
16 Bhanu abhamulasha Kristo kwe elyenda abhamenya ati nitewe anu kwa insonga yo okubhambala Iinjili.
but they who are of a factious spirit preach Christ with no pure intent, thinking to stir up affliction to my bonds.
17 Nawe abhandi abhamulasha Kristo kwo omutubho no omwoyo mubhibhi. Ebhetogela ati abhaleta jinyako kwanye muminyororo jani.
They who are of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel;
18 Kulwejo nitakukukwa, nikondelewe kulwokubha Kristo kalasibhwa kwa njila yonayona! Na niligendelela okukondelelwa!
What then? Notwithstanding, in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached; and therein do I rejoice, yea, and shall rejoice.
19 Kulwokubha enimenya ati linu lililetelela ninigulilwa. Omusango gunu gulisokokoka kulwa lisabhwa lyemwe na kwo obhusakisi bhwa Mwoyo was Kristo.
For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 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.
according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so also now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
21 Kulwokubha kwanye, obhulame ni Kristo, okufwa kulimo libhona.
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 Nawe, labha okulama chimubhili okwibhula litwasyo mumilimu jani, kulwejo nitakumenya echokusola.
But if to live in the flesh, if this is to me the fruit of my labor, then what I should choose, I cannot say;
23 Kunsonga enisindikwa na ameganilisho gabhili ganu. Nina inamba yokusiga omubhili nibhe amwi na Kristo, echo nicho echinu cho obhugusi bhunene muno.
but I am held in a strait by the two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; for it is far better;
24 Tali okusigala mumubhili gunu ni gambo lya kisi sana ingulu yemwe.
but to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
25 Kulwokubha enimenya bhusibhusi ingulu yo omusango gunu, enimenya enisigala no okugendelela okubha amwi nemwe bhona, koleleki mugendelele no okukondelelwa mulikilisha.
And being persuaded of this, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your advancement and joy in your faith,
26 mukingile okubhona likusho ku Kristo Yesu, ingulu yani okubha enisubha okwikala amwi nemwe lindi.
that your glorying in me, in the cause of Christ Jesus, may be more abundant by my coming to you again.
27 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.
Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or remain absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,
28 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.
and in nothing terrified by your adversaries; which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation; and that from God;
29 Kunsonga emwe muyabhilwe kulwe emillimu ja Kristo, kutali kumwikilisha kwenyele, tali nokunyasibhwa ingulu yomwene.
for to you it was given in behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but in his behalf to suffer also;
30 Kulwokubha muli na inyombo ilyailya lwakutyo mwailolele kwanye na omungwa lwakutyo ninayo okukingila olyanu.
as ye have the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear of in me.
