Vafilipi 1
1 Nene Pauli na Timoti vatumisi va Yesu Kilisitu. Tikuvayandikila nyenye vandu va Chapanga mwemuvi ku Filipi mwemuwungini na Kilisitu Yesu, pamonga na vachilongosi na vatangatila va msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu Yesu.
Paul and Timothy, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the sanctified in Jesus Christ who are at Philippi, with the guardians and helpers:
2 Tikuvaganila uteke na ubwina kuhuma kwa Chapanga kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Lukumbi lwoha nikumsengusa Chapanga penikuvakumbuka.
I thank my God upon every memory of you,
4 Lukumbi lwoha penikuvayupila mwavoha kwa Chapanga ndi nikuvayupila kwa luheku,
always in my every entreaty for all of you, making the entreaty with joy
5 ndava ya kuwungana na nene mulihengu la kuvakokosela vandu Lilovi la Bwina kuhumila kutumbula hati lelu.
for your participation in the good news from the first day until now.
6 Hinu nimanya chakaka kuvya Chapanga mweatumbwili lihengu lenili labwina mumitima yinu, yati ayiyendeleza mbaka mu ligono lila la kubwela kavili Yesu Kilisitu.
Being confident of this same thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.
7 Ndi chabwina nene kuvaholalela nyenye ndava nyenye muvi mugati ya mutima wangu. Ndava muni mwavoha nyenye muhanganila na nene muubwina weatipeli Chapanga mukukokosa na kulikengelela Lilovi la Bwina, hinu penivili mchifungu na kutumbula penalekekiswi.
Just as it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the good news, you all being partners with me of the grace.
8 Chapanga amanyili kuvya nijova chakaka pala penijova muuganu kwa mtima wangu woha, kwa uganu wewihuma kwa Kilisitu Yesu.
For God is my witness, how I long for you all in bowels of Jesus Christ.
9 Nikumuyupa Chapanga uganu winu uyonjokesa neju na neju pamonga na kuumanya uchakaka na luhala lwoha,
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment
10 muhotola kuhagula lijambu lelivi labwina neju. Penapo ndi yati mwivya vabwina changali uhakau wowoha pa ligono la kuwuya Kilisitu.
for you to examine the things that are significant. So that ye may be tested by sunlight and not stumbling toward the day of Christ,
11 Wumi winu yati wimemeswa mambu gala geakugagana Chapanga mujila ya Kilisitu Yesu ndu ndava ya ukulu wa Chapanga na muni vandu vamtopesa na kumulumba Chapanga.
having been filled with fruits of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, for glory and praise of God.
12 Valongo vangu, nigana mmanya kuvya mambu goha geganikolili gatangatili neju kudandasa Lilovi la Bwina.
But I want you to know, brothers, that the things in respect to me have come more for the advancement of the good news,
13 Ndava ya genago valonda voha va nyumba ya nkosi pamonga na vangi voha penapa vimanya kuvya nivii muchifungu ndava nene nikumhengela Kilisitu.
in order for my bonds in Christ to become apparent in the whole Praetorium, and in all the others.
14 Ndava ya kukungiwa muchifungu ndi kuvakitili valongo vamahele vahotola kuyima cha kusindimala kwa sadika kwa Bambu, hati vahotola kukokosa ujumbi wa Chapanga changali wogohi.
And more of the brothers in the Lord have been convinced by my bonds to be much more bold to speak the word fearlessly.
15 Chakaka vandu vangi vakumkokosa Kilisitu ndava vana wihu na luhonda, nambu vangi vakokosa Lilovi la Bwina la Yesu Kilisitu kwa mtima wabwina na kugana kuvatangatila vandu.
Actually some even preach the Christ because of envy and strife, and some also because of good-will.
16 Vandu ava vihenga naha kwa mtima wa uganu muni vamanyili kuvya Chapanga anipeli lihengu lenili la kuyikengelela Lilovi la Bwina.
Some indeed proclaim the Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to bring affliction to my bonds.
17 Nambu vangi vala vakulikokosa Lilovi la Kilisitu kwa mhutanu nambu lepi kwa mtima wa bwina. Viholalela mukukita genago vakuniyonjokesela mang'ahiso gangu muchifungu.
But some from love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the good news.
18 Hinu chindu lepi! Nene niheka ngati vandu vakumkokosa Kilisitu kwa kila njila, yivya kwa mtima wabwina amala kwa mtima uhakau, kavili yati niyendelela kuheka.
What then? Except in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice, but also I will rejoice.
19 Ndi nimanyili kuvya chamukuniyupila na mu njila ya utangatila wa Mpungu wa Yesu Kilisitu, goha geganikolili nene yati nihuma muchifungu.
For I know that this will turn out to me for salvation (through your entreaty, and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ)
20 Nihuvalila kwa mnogo uvaha na kuhuvalila ndi kuvya katu yati nikola lepi soni kwa kuleka kuhenga gegiganikiwa ndava ya Yesu Kilisitu. Ngati chanahengili kadeni. Na hinu nisadika wumi wangu yati ukumpela utopesa Kilisitu nivya mumi amala nifwili.
according to my eager expectation and hope that I will be shamed in nothing. But with all boldness, now as always, Christ will also be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.
21 Kwa nene kuvya mumi ndi kumuhengela Kilisitu hati kufwa ndi chindu chabwina neju kwangu.
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 Nambu ngati mukutama yati nihotola kuhenga lihengu la kuvatangatila vandu vangi. Hinu nimanyili lepi? Nihagula loki!
But if to live in flesh, this is fruit of labor to me, then what I will choose I know not.
23 Nihutwa kuni na kuni mambu aga gavili. Ninogela kuuleka mulima uwu muni nihambayi kutama pamonga na Kilisitu, lijambu lelivii labwina neju,
And I am constrained by the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, being far better.
24 nambu chabwina neju kwinu nyenye ngati niyendalili kutama.
But to remain in the flesh is more necessary because of you.
25 Namwene nimanyili chakaka kuvya yati niyendelela kutama na nyenye voha muni muvatangatila muusadika na muvya na luheku musadika yeniyo,
And having been convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and will continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith.
26 Hinu penivya na nyenye kavili, yati mwivya na chindu cha kumekela neju ndava yangu muwumi wa kuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu.
So that your pride may abound in Christ Jesus in me because of my presence with you again.
27 Hinu, lijambu leliganikiwa ndi kuvya matendu ginu gavyai ngati cheligana Lilovi la Bwina la Kilisitu muni ngati nihotwili kuwuya kwinu amala nakuhotola, muni nipata kuyuwana kuvya musindimili kuyima muvi mtima umonga na mtovana ngondo kwa mtima umonga. Ndava ya kuyikengelela sadika yeyiletwa na Lilovi la Bwina.
Only be citizens worthy of the good news of the Christ, so that, whether having come and having seen you or being absent, I may hear things about you that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the good news.
28 Mkotoka kuvayogopa vamakoko vinu, nambu mvya vakekesi magono goha, na yeniyo yikuvalangisa kuvya vene yati vihoto lepi, nambu nyenye mukuvahotola muni Chapanga mwene ndi mweakuvapela uhotola.
And not being frightened in anything by those who oppose, which is indeed a sign of destruction to them, but to you of salvation, and this from God.
29 Muni nyenye mudinduliwi mlyangu wa kumhengela Kilisitu lepi kumsadika ndu, nambu mewa mukung'aiswa ndava ya mwene.
Because to you it was granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,
30 Hinu mwihotola kuvya pamonga na nene mukutovana ngondo. Ngondo yeniyi ndi yila yemwalolili yanatovana kadeni pala nakona nitovana hinu ngati chemwiyuwana.
having the same conflict such as ye saw in me, and now hear is in me.
