1 Nun Pool ak Timote, jaami Kirist Yeesu, noo leen di bind, yéen gaayi Yàlla yu sell yépp ci dëkku Filib, yi bokk ci Kirist Yeesu, yéen ak seeni njiit ak ñiy topptoo yëfi mbooloo mi.
1Paul and Timotheus, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with [the] overseers and ministers;
2 Na leen Yàlla sunu Baay ak Boroom bi Yeesu Kirist may yiw ak jàmm.
2grace to you, and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Yoon wu ma leen di xalaat, maa ngi sant Yàlla sama Boroom;
3I thank my God for my whole remembrance of you,
4 te saa su ma leen di ñaanal yéen yépp, duma noppee bég,
4constantly in my every supplication, making the supplication for you all with joy,
5 ndax seen ànd ak man ci tas xebaar bu baax bi, ca ndoorte la ba tey.
5because of your fellowship with the gospel, from the first day until now;
6 Wóor na ma ne, Yàlla mi tàmbali jëf ju baax jii ci yéen, dina ci sax, ba bésu Kirist Yeesu ñëw.
6having confidence of this very thing, that he who has begun in you a good work will complete it unto Jesus Christ's day:
7 Te juumuma ci li ma xalaat loolu ci yéen ñépp, ndaxte def naa leen ci sama xol; ba tax fii ci kaso bi, ci taxawal xebaar bu baax bi ak lawal ko, yéen ñépp am ngeen wàll ak man ci yiwu Yàlla.
7as it is righteous for me to think this as to you all, because ye have *me* in your hearts, and that both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad tidings ye are all participators in my grace.
8 Ndaxte Yàllaa seede ne, sama xol seey na ci yéen ñépp ci biir cofeelu Kirist Yeesu.
8For God is my witness how I long after you all in [the] bowels of Christ Jesus.
9 Li ma leen di ñaanal nag mooy lii: na seen mbëggeel di yokku tey gën a tar, jaar ci xam ak xàmmi gu wér;
9And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all intelligence,
10 nangeen sax noonu ci yi gën a rafet, ngeen am xol bu laab te bañ a am benn sikk, ba bésu Kirist ñëw;
10that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for Christ's day,
11 na seen xol meññ njub, ba ne gàññ, jaar ci Yeesu Kirist ci ndamul Yàlla ak cantam.
11being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which [is] by Jesus Christ, to God's glory and praise.
12 Damaa bëgg, bokk yi, ngeen xam lii: li ma dal taxul xebaar bu baax dellu gannaaw, waaye da koo jëmale kanam.
12But I would have you know, brethren, that the circumstances in which I am have turned out rather to the furtherance of the glad tidings,
13 Noonu ñiy wottu buur bi ak ñépp gis nañu bu leer ne, turu Kirist rekk a tax ñu jàpp ma.
13so that my bonds have become manifest [as being] in Christ in all the praetorium and to all others;
14 Te it bokk yu bare takk nañu seeni fit ci li ñu gis samay buum, ba tax ñu gën a ñeme ci wax kàddug Yàlla ci lu àndul ak genn tiit.
14and that the most of the brethren, trusting in [the] Lord through my bonds, dare more abundantly to speak the word of God fearlessly.
15 Am na ñuy waare ci turu Kirist ci kaw kiñaan ak xëccoo, waaye ñi ci des ci kaw cofeel ak xol bu laab, ndaxte xam nañu ne, Yàlla moo ma teg fii, ngir ma taxawal xebaar bu baax bi.
15Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for good will, preach the Christ.
17 Waaye ñale amuñu xol bu laab, te seen njariñu bopp rekk a tax ñuy yégle turu Kirist, di wut a feddali samay buum ak coono.
16These indeed out of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the glad tidings;
18 Lu ci génn nag? Xanaa lii rekk: turu Kirist jolli na ci nii mbaa naa, muy ci naaféq, muy ci dëgg; bég naa ci te dinaa ci bégati.
17but those out of contention, announce the Christ, not purely, supposing to arouse tribulation for my bonds.
19 Ndaxte xam naa ne, loolu lépp mu ngi jëm ci sama mucc, jaar ci seeni ñaan ak ndimbalu Xelum Yeesu Kirist, mi ma Yàllay yéwénal.
18What is it then? at any rate, in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, yea, also I will rejoice;
20 Ndaxte sama xënte ak sama yaakaar mooy ma bañ a rus ci lenn, waaye sama yaram feeñal ndamu Kirist, ma ànd ci ak kóolute gu mat, su may dund mbaa may dee; moom laa daan def démb, te moom laay def tey.
19for I know that this shall turn out for me to salvation, through your supplication and [the] supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;
21 Ndaxte su ma dundee, Kirist laay noyyee, te su ma deeyee, xéewal lay doon ci man.
20according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but in all boldness, as always, now also Christ shall be magnified in my body whether by life or by death.
22 Su ma Yàlla bàyyee ci àddina, sas wu am njariñ la ci man. Am naa xel ñaar, te xawma bi ci gën. Am naa yéeney jóge fi, fekki Kirist, te looloo gën fuuf,
21For for me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain;
24 waaye ma des fi ci àddina moo gën ci yéen.
22but if to live in flesh [is my lot], this is for me worth the while: and what I shall choose I cannot tell.
25 Loolu wóor na ma; kon xam naa ne, dinaa fi des, di leen taxawu yéen ñépp, ngir seen ngëm yokku, ànd ak mbég.
23But I am pressed by both, having the desire for departure and being with Christ, [for] [it is] very much better,
26 Noonu dinaa dellusi ci yéen, ngir sama taxawaay gën a lawal seen mbég ci Kirist Yeesu.
24but remaining in the flesh [is] more necessary for your sakes;
27 Waaye dénk naa leen lii: na seeni jëf yelloo ak li Kirist digle ci xebaar bu baax bi. Noonu su ma leen seetsee, mbaa ma dégg seen mbir rekk, dinaa xam ne yéena ngi dëgër ci menn xel, bokk benn xalaat ci bëre luy saxal dëggu xebaar bu baax bi,
25and having confidence of this, I know that I shall remain and abide along with you all, for your progress and joy in faith;
28 te bañ a tiit dara ndax noon, yi leen di xëbal. Màndarga la muy wone ne aji sànku lañu, di màndarga it ne aji mucc ngeen, di mucc gu jóge ci Yàlla.
26that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus through me by my presence again with you.
29 Ndaxte Yàlla may na leen, ngeen gëm Kirist, rax-ca-dolli ngeen sonn ndax turam,
27Only conduct yourselves worthily of the glad tidings of the Christ, in order that whether coming and seeing you, or absent, I may hear of what concerns you, that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul, labouring together in the same conflict with the faith of the glad tidings;
30 di wéy ci bëre, bi ngeen gisoon ci man, te dégg léegi sama mbir.
28and not frightened in anything by the opposers, which is to them a demonstration of destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;
29because to you has been given, as regards Christ, not only the believing on him but the suffering for him also,
30having the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear of in me.
