1Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
1Naizvozvo, hama dzangu, vadikamwa zvikuru vanoshuviwa, mufaro wangu, nekorona, mirai nesimba saizvozvo muna Ishe, vadikamwa zvikuru.
2I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.
2Ndinokumbirisa Yuodhia, ndinokumbirisa Sindike, kuti vave nemoyo umwe muna Ishe.
3Yes, I beg you also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
3Uye ndinonyengerera iwewo, umwe wangu wechokwadi pajoko; batsira vanhukadzi vaya, vakabatirana neni paevhangeri, pamwe naKiremenziwo, navamwe vakabata zvikuru neni, mazita avo ari mubhuku reupenyu.
4Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”
4Farai muna Ishe nguva dzose; ndinotizve: Farai.
5Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
5Unyoro hwenyu ngahwuzikamwe kuvanhu vose. Ishe uri pedo.
6In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
6Musafunganya pamusoro pechimwe chinhu; asi pazvinhu zvose nemunyengetero nemukumbiro nekuvonga, mikumbiro yenyu ngaizikamwe kuna Mwari.
7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
7Zvino rugare rwaMwari runopfuura kunzwisisa kose, rucharinda moyo yenyu nemifungo yenyu kubudikidza naKristu Jesu.
8Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things.
8Pakupedzisira, hama, zvinhu zvose zvechokwadi, zvinhu zvose zvinokudzwa, zvinhu zvose zvakarurama, zvinhu zvose zvakachena, zvinhu zvose zvinodikamwa, zvinhu zvose zvinorumbidzwa, kana kunaka kupi nekupi, kana chingarumbidzwa chipi nechipi, fungai zvinhu izvi.
9The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
9Zvinhu izvo zvamakadzidza nekugamuchira nekunzwa nekuona mandiri, itai; Mwari werugare uchava nemwi.
10But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.
10Asi ndakafara zvikuru muna Ishe, nekuti zvino makamutsiridzazve kundirangarira; makanga marangarira, asi makashaiwa mukana.
11Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
11Kwete kuti ndinotaura izvi nekuda kwekushaiwa, nekuti ndadzidza kugutsikana nezvinhu zvandiri.
12I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.
12Ndinoziva zvose kuzvidzwa uye ndinoziva kuva nezvakawandawo; pachinhu chipi nechipi nepazvinhu zvose ndakadzidziswa zvose kuguta nekunzwa nzara, zvose kuva nezvizhinji nekushaiwa.
13I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
13Ndinogona kuita zvinhu zvose kubudikidza naKristu unondisimbisa.
14However you did well that you shared in my affliction.
14Kunyange zvakadaro makaita zvakanaka zvamakabatana neni pakutambudzika kwangu.
15You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.
15Uye munozivawo imwi vaFiripi, kuti pakutanga kweevhangeri, pandakabva Makedhonia, hapana kereke yakadyidzana neni maererano nekupa nokugamuchira, asi imwi moga;
16For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.
16Nekuti kunyange paTesaronika makatumira kamwe, nekupamha pakushaiwa kwangu.
17Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.
17Kwete kuti ndinotsvaka chipo, asi ndinotsvaka chibereko chinowedzera kuchikwama chenyu.
18But I have all things, and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.
18Zvino ndine zvose, uye zvakawanzwa; ndaguta, ndagamuchira kuna Epafrodito zvinhu zvinobva kwamuri, hwema hwezvinonhuhwira, chibayiro chinogamuchirwa, chinofadza kwazvo kuna Mwari.
19My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
19Asi Mwari wangu uchazadzisa kushaiwa kwenyu kose zvichienderana nefuma yake, mukubwinya, muna Kristu Jesu.
20Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen.
20Zvino kuna Mwari naBaba vedu, ngakuve nekubwinya kusvikira rinhi narinhi. Ameni.
21Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
21Kwazisai mutsvene umwe neumwe muna Kristu Jesu. Hama dzineni dzinokukwazisai.
22All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar’s household.
22Vatsvene vose vanokukwazisai, zvikuru avo veimba yaKesari.
23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
23Nyasha dzaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu ngadzive nemwi mose. Amen.
