Philippians 1 (HAT)

1Se mwen menm Pòl ak Timote, de sèvitè Jezikri, k'ap ekri lèt sa a voye bay tout pèp Bondye nan lavil Filip la k'ap viv ansanm nan Jezikri. Lèt sa a se pou tout moun ki chèf nan legliz la ak pou tout dyak yo tou.Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:

2Nou mande Bondye, Papa nou, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè a, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3Mwen di Bondye mwen an mèsi pou nou chak fwa lide m' frape sou nou.I thank my God every time I remember you.

4Chak fwa m'ap lapriyè tou pou nou, mwen fè l' ak kè kontan,In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy,

5poutèt jan nou te ede m' gaye bon nouvèl la, depi premye jou a jouk koulye a.because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,

6Mwen sèten Bondye ki te konmanse bon travay sa a nan nou, li gen pou l' kontinye l' jouk li va fini l' nèt, lè jou Jezikri a va rive.being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

7Se tou nòmal pou m' fè lide konsa sou nou, paske nou toujou nan lespri m', nou tout ki kanpe la avè m' nan tout favè Bondye fè m', kit lè mwen nan prizon tankou koulye a, kit lè mwen te lib pou m' defann bon nouvèl la, pou m' moutre se laverite li ye.It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart. For in my chains and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are all partners in grace with me.

8Mwen pran Bondye sèvi m' temwen, sa m'ap di nou la a se vre wi. Mwen renmen nou tout anpil anpil avèk renmen ki soti nan Jezikri.God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

9Lè m'ap lapriyè Bondye, mwen mande l' pou nou gen plis renmen toujou, ak bonkou konesans pou nou ka rive konprann tout bagay,And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,

10pou nou ka toujou chwazi sa ki pi bon. Konsa, n'a mennen yon lavi ki pwòp, yo p'ap jwenn anyen pou repwòche nou lè Kris la va vini.so that you may be able to test and prove what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

11Konsa, Jezikri va fè nou fè anpil bagay ki dwat epi ki bon, pou sa ka sèvi yon lwanj ak yon bèl bagay pou Bondye.filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

12Frè m' yo, mwen vle nou konn sa byen: Tout bagay sa yo ki rive m' lan, yo pi fè travay predikasyon bon nouvèl la mache pase yo fè lòt bagay.Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.

13Se konsa, tout gad palè yo ansanm ak tout lòt moun yo konnen se paske m'ap sèvi Kris la kifè m' nan prizon.As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.

14Frè yo menm, bò pa yo, lè yo wè m' nan prizon an, pifò ladan yo vin gen plis konfyans toujou nan Seyè a. Sa ba yo plis kouraj koulye a pou fè konnen pawòl Bondye a san yo pa pè anyen.And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.

15Gen ladan yo k'ap fè konnen Kris la paske jalouzi moute yo nan tèt, yo ta renmen ban m' traka. Se vre. Men, gen lòt tou k'ap fè l' ak bon lide nan tèt yo.It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.

16Se renmen Bondye a k'ap pouse yo fè l', paske yo konnen se Bondye menm ki ban m' travay sa a pou m' ka defann bon nouvèl la.The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.

17Men, lòt yo ap fè konnen Kris la ak move lide dèyè tèt yo, y'ap fè l' pou lanbisyon pèsonèl pa yo. Y'ap fè l' pou chache m' kont. Yo konprann yo ka fè m' lapenn antan m' nan prizon an.The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.

18Men, sa pa fè m' anyen. Kit yo gen bon lide, kit yo gen move lide, tout jan se Kris la y'ap fè konnen. Epi sa fè kè m' kontan. M'ap pi kontan toujou,What then is the issue? Just this: that in every way, whether by false motives or true, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,

19paske mwen konnen tout bagay sa yo pral vire anbyen pou mwen, gremesi lapriyè n'ap fè pou mwen ak lasistans Lespri Jezikri a ap ban mwen.because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance.

20Paske, mwen ta renmen pou m' pa soti wont nan anyen. Se la tout espwa m' pou m' ka pale ak kouraj, pou jòdi a tankou anvan lèzòm ka wè pouvwa Kris la nan mwen, kit mwen vivan, kit mwen mouri.I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

21Paske pou mwen, lavi se Kris la. Se poutèt sa lanmò se yon gany pou mwen.For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

22Men, si antan m'ap viv sou tè a toujou, mwen ka fè kèk travay ankò pou Seyè a, nan ka sa a, mwen pa konn sa m' pito.But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know.

23Mwen ta renmen fè tou de: Mwen ta renmen mouri pou m' ta avè Kris la. Sa ta pi bon anpil pou mwen.I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.

24Men, li ta pi bon pou nou pou m' rete viv sou latè.But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

25Mwen sèten se sa k'ap rive menm. Se poutèt sa, mwen konnen mwen gen pou m' rete, pou m' ka viv ansanm ak nou, pou m' ede nou grandi, pou m' ka fè nou kontan nan konfyans nou gen nan Bondye.Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

26Konsa, lè m'a tounen bò kote nou, m'a ban nou yon bèl okazyon pou nou kontan nan lavi n'ap mennen ansanm nan Kris la.so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.

27Sèl bagay ki konsekan se pou nou viv yon jan ki konfòm ak bon nouvèl Kris la. Konsa, mwen ta mèt rive vin wè nou, mwen ta mèt pa kapab, se pou m' tande jan n'ap kenbe fèm, jan n'ap viv ansanm yonn ak lòt. Se pou m' tande jan n'ap mennen batay la ansanm pou defann konfyans bon nouvèl la fè nou gen nan Bondye.Nevertheless, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending together as one for the faith of the gospel,

28Pa kite okenn lènmi kraponnen nou. Se pou tout bagay sa yo sèvi tankou yon prèv pou fè lènmi yo wè se pèdi y'ap pèdi tèt yo. Men, pou nou menm, yo fè wè se delivre n'ap delivre. Sa se travay Bondye.without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a clear sign of their destruction but of your salvation, and it is from God.

29Paske nou menm k'ap sèvi Kris la, Bondye ban nou favè sa a, non sèlman pou nou gen konfyans nan li, men pou nou ka soufri avè li tou.For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,

30Batay n'ap mennen an, se menm batay la m'ap mennen tou. Se menm batay nou te wè m'ap mennen nan tan lontan an. Se li menm m'ap mennen jouk koulye a, jan nou konnen an.since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
