KwabaseFiliphi 1
1 UPawuli loTimothi, izinceku zikaJesu Kristu, kubo bonke abangcwele kuKristu Jesu abaseFiliphi, kanye lababonisi labadikoni:
Nne a Pauli na a Timoteo, bhatumishi bha a Yeshu Kilishitu, tunakunnjandishilanga mmanganya bhandu bha ukonjelo bha ku Pilipi nnundenenje na a Kilishitu, pamo na ashikalongolele na bhatumishi bha likanisha.
2 Umusa kawube kini lokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba wethu leNkosini uJesu Kristu.
Nema na ulele ikopoka kwa Atati a Nnungu na ku Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu ibhe na mmanganyanji.
3 Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu wami ekulikhumbuleni konke,
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu bhangu kila pungunkumbushilanga.
4 ngezikhathi zonke kuwo wonke umkhuleko wami ngani lonke ngincenga ngentokozo,
Kila pungunnjujilanga mmowe, ngunajuga kwa angalala,
5 ngokuhlanganyela kwenu evangelini, kusukela osukwini lokuqala kuze kube khathesi;
kwa ligongo lya nyangutila kwenunji nkulunguya Ngani ja Mmbone, kuumila lyubha lya tandubha lila, mpaka lelo.
6 ngilethemba lakhona lokhu, ukuthi owaqalisa umsebenzi omuhle kini uzawuphelelisa kuze kube sosukwini lukaJesu Kristu;
Na nne ngunakulupalila kuti a Nnungu bhatandwibhe liengo lya mmbone mmitima jenunji, shibhapunde tenda na maliya mpaka lyubha lya bhuja a Yeshu Kilishitu.
7 njengoba kulungile kimi ukuthi ngikhumbule lokhu ngani lonke, ngoba ngilani enhliziyweni, ukuthi lekubotshweni kwami, lekuvikeleni lekuqiniseleni ivangeli, lina lonke lingabahlanganyeli bomusa wami.
Nneyo peyo, ngunaapinjikwa kunnganishiyanga mmanganyanji mmowe, pabha munninginji muntima gwangu. Numbe nshinyangutilanga na nkali nnaino ndabhilwe ino, na ata punaaliji nganabhe tabhwa, nnema jibhambele a Nnungu jila, ja bheleketela na kong'ondela Ngani ja Mmbone.
8 Ngoba uNkulunkulu ungumfakazi wami, wokuthi ngililangatha kangakanani lonke emibilini kaJesu Kristu.
A Nnungu ni bhaakong'ondela bhangu, shinguti lokolila kummonanga malinga a Yeshu Kilishitu shibhampinjilenje kwa kaje.
9 Njalo ngikhuleka lokhu, ukuthi uthando lwenu luvame-ke lusanda ngokwanda elwazini lekuqedisiseni konke,
Kujuga kwangu ni akuno, kuti, kupinga kwenunji kupunde jenjesheka kwa kaje nnunda na nnumanyiyo lowe,
10 ukuze lizivume izinto ezinhle kakhulu, ukuze lihlambuluke lingasoleki kuze kube sosukwini lukaKristu,
nkupinga nng'agulanje indu ya mmbone. Penepo shimmanganje na mitima ja mmbone, gwangali gambwa shoshowe mpaka lyubha lya bhuja a Kilishitu.
11 ligcwaliswe ngezithelo zokulunga ezingoJesu Kristu, ebukhosini lodumo lukaNkulunkulu.
Akuno nngumbeywenje indu ya mmbone, ishibhampanganje a Yeshu Kilishitu bhayene, kwa ligongo lya ukonjelo na iniywa kwa a Nnungu.
12 Kodwa ngithanda ukuthi lazi, bazalwane, ukuthi izinto ezangehlelayo zenza kakhulu ukuqhutshelwa phambili kwevangeli;
Bhai ashaalongo ajangunji, ngunapinga mmumanyanje kuti, gowe gambatile gala gashinkunyangutila nkujeneya Ngani ja Mmbone.
13 zize izibopho zami kuKristu zibonakale esigodlweni sonke lakwabanye bonke,
Kwa lyene ligongolyo, bhalinda bhowe na bhandunji bhana bhowe apano bhamumanyinji kuti, kutabhwa kwangu ni kwa ligongo lya kwaatumishila a Kilishitu.
14 labazalwane abanengi eNkosini, beqiniswe ngezibopho zami, sebelesibindi esikhulu sokukhuluma ilizwi ngokungesabi.
Bhai, kwa ligongo lya tabhwa kwangu, kushikwaatendanga ashaalongo ajangunji bhabhagwinji bhaakulupalilanje Bhakulungwa, mpaka nitumbililanga kulunguya ntenga gwa a Nnungu gwangali bhoga.
15 Abanye kambe batshumayela uKristu ngomona langombango, labanye kambe ngenhliziyo enhle;
Kweli, bhananji bhanalunguyanga ngani ja a Kilishitu kwa ligongo lya lupimililo na nngomo, ikabheje bhananji kwa ndumbililo ya mmbone.
16 laba batshumayela uKristu ngokuphikisana, bengelaqiniso, besithi baletha ukuhlupheka ekubotshweni kwami;
Bhakwetenje ndumbililo ya mmbone, bhanatendanga nneyo kwa ntima gwa pinga, numbe bhamumanyinji kuti njitabhwa, pabha a Nnungu bhashimba liengo lya bheleketela Ngani ja Mmbone.
17 kodwa labo ngothando, besazi ukuthi ngimiselwe ukuvikela ivangeli.
Ikabhe bhananji bhanakwalunguyanga a Kilishitu kwa nngomo na wala nngabha kwa ntima gwa uguja, bhaliganishiyanga kuti, shibhanyenjesheyanje mboteko nkutabhwa kwangu.
18 Kuyini pho? Loba kunjalo kuyo yonke indlela, loba ekuzenziseni, kumbe eqinisweni, uKristu uyatshunyayelwa; kulokhu-ke ngiyathokoza, yebo ngizathokoza futhi.
Igala nndi! Nne ngunaangalala ibhaga bhandu bhanakwalunguyanga a Kilishitu momowe mula, ibhe kwa ndumbililo ya mmbone eu yangali ya mmbone. Kwa lyene ligongo lyo nne shing'angalale, na shimbunde kuangalala,
19 Ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi lokhu kuzaphendukela kimi esindisweni ngomkhuleko wenu, langokwelekelela kukaMoya kaJesu Kristu,
pabha nimumanyi kuti kwa juga kwenunji na kwa jangutilwa naka Mbumu jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, gambatile gala shigapindikushe nibha ntapulo gwangu.
20 njengokulindela okukhulu lethemba lami, ukuthi kangiyikuyangiswa ngalutho, kodwa ngesibindi sonke, njengesikhathi sonke, lakhathesi uKristu uzakhuliswa emzimbeni wami, loba ngempilo, kumbe ngokufa.
Punguganishiya na kulupalila kwangu kuti, ngatokamala nkutenda liengo lyangu, ikabhe shingole makangala mobha gowe, na kaje agano mobha gano, nkupinga kwa nkulama kwangu eu nkuwa kwangu naape a Kilishitu kuishimika.
21 Ngoba kimi ukuphila kunguKristu, lokufa kuyinzuzo.
Pabha kwangu nne, kulama ni a Kilishitu na kuwa ni pwaida.
22 Kodwa uba ukuphila enyameni kuyisithelo somsebenzi kimi, lengizakukhetha kangikwazi.
Bhai monaga kwa lama kwangu shingombole tenda liengo likwete pwaida, bhai ng'agule nndi? Nne ngakushimanya!
23 Ngoba ngiminyezelwe ngokubili; ngilesifiso sokusuka lokuba loKristu, okungcono kakhulukazi;
Ngunalongwa indu ibhili, ngunalokolila nijileshe ajino ndamo jino niijendele ngatame na a Kilishitu, pabha lyeneli ni lya mmbone kaje,
24 kodwa ukuhlala enyameni kuyasweleka kakhulu ngenxa yenu.
ikabheje nonjeyaga kulama, ni sha mmbone kwenu mmanganyanji.
25 Njalo ngilalelithemba ngiyazi ukuthi ngizakuba khona, ngihlale lani lonke, ekuqhubekeni kwenu lentokozweni yokholo,
Kwa kugamanya genega, nimumanyi kuti shimbunde kulama, nonjeye na mmanganyanji, nkupinga mpundanje kwiishimilika na angalala nngulupai.
26 ukuze ukuzincoma kwenu ngami kwengezwe kuKristu Jesu kimi, ngobukhona bami kini futhi.
Bhai shimwipunilanje nne, nkulundana na a Kilishitu Yeshu, pushimme na mmanganyanji kabhili.
27 Kuphela hambani ngokufanele ivangeli likaKristu, kuze kuthi, loba ngifika ngilibona, loba ngingekho, ngizwe indaba zenu, zokuthi limi emoyeni munye, ngangqondonye lilwela ukholo lwevangeli ndawonye,
Bhai shindu shikulungwa, ndamo jenunji jibhe malinga shiipinjikwa na Ngani ja Mmbone ja a Kilishitu, nkupinga ng'ikaga eu ngaishe, mbilikane kuti nnakwiishimilikanga ukoto kwa ntima gumo, na lundana nkukomana ngondo pamo, kwa ligongo lya ngulupai ga Ngani ja Mmbone.
28 njalo lingethuswa ngalutho ngabaphikisayo; okuyisibonakaliso kubo sokubhubha, kodwa kini esosindiso, njalo lokhu kuvela kuNkulunkulu;
Nnaajogopanje ashaamagongo ajenunji, nkolanje makangala, yeneyo shiibhe shilangulo ukoto, kuti bhanganyanjibho shibhalepelanje na mmanganyanji shinkombolanje, pabha a Nnungu bhayene shibhankomboyanje.
29 ngoba lanikwa ngesihle esikhundleni sikaKristu, kungeyisikho ukukholwa kuye kuphela, kodwa lokumhluphekela;
Pabha mmanganyanji nshipegwanga nema ja kwaakamulila liengo a Kilishitu, nngabha kwa kwaakulupalilape, ikabhe na potekwa kwa ligongo lyabho.
30 lilokulwa okufananayo njengalokho elakubona kimi, lelikuzwa kimi khathesi.
Kwa nneyo nnongananje na nne nkukomana ngondo. Ngondo jinjibhweninji nilikomana, na launo ngunakomana, malinga shinkupilikananga.
