Filp'siyos 3
1 S'uwaatsnowere t eshuwotso! doonzon gene'ore, haniyere shini itsh t guut'tsman aani gitlo tguut'al taan taahiratse, itnomó it sheelawok' kotosh falituwe.
[Now there are] other things [that I want to write about]. My fellow believers, continue to rejoice because [you belong to] the Lord. [Though] I will [now] write to you about those same matters [that I mentioned to you before, this is] not tiresome for me, and it will protect you [from those who would harm you spiritually].
2 Kankok'o hano hano kanzon gond finiruwotsatse it atso korde'ere, meets k'út'iruwotsatse (gof damiruwotsatse) it atso korde'ere.
Beware of those [people who are dangerous] [MET] [like wild] dogs. They are [dangerous] evildoers [DOU]. Beware of them [since they are like people who] cut [other people’s] bodies [MET]. [They will harm you spiritually by insisting that you must let someone circumcise you in order for you to become God’s people] [MTY, MET].
3 Noo Ik'o Shayiro ik'iyirwotsnat uratse beyiru niwon b́ woterawo Krstos Iyesus s'uzn noit'irwosh arikon gofo amrone.
[Those people think that they are God’s people because someone has circumcised them]. But we, [not they], are [truly God’s people] [MET], [whether or not someone has] circumcised [us]. God’s Spirit [enables us to] [MTY] worship [God]; we praise Christ Jesus [because he has enabled us to become the people of God]. We do not believe [that God will consider/make us his people as a result of what someone has done to our] bodies [MTY, SYN].
4 It'o taash b́geyink'ere taa bín ti it'et ay keewo fa'e b́shi, uratse be'eyiru niwon it'et asho fa'e wotiyal taa bíyere bogo bín ti it'et keewo detsfe.
[We do not trust in those rituals to make us acceptable to God], although I could very well do that [if it would be useful for me]. Philippians 3:4b-6 [In fact], [if I could benefit from it for my salvation], I could rely upon what I have done and who I am [MTY, SYN] more than anyone else could! I will tell you why.
5 Taa t shuwetsi shmtl aawone gofo ti ami, t shuweyono Bniyam naar wotts Esra'el ash taane, hanatse tuutson s'ayin wottso Ibrawi ash taane, Ayhudi nemo kotonowere feresawi taane.
I [was circumcised] {[Someone] circumcised me} when I was one week old. I am from the people of Israel. I am from the tribe of Benjamin. I am completely Hebrew in every way. [While I was] a member of the Pharisee [sect], I [strictly obeyed] the laws [that God gave Moses].
6 Eshe yoots nemosha etaat okooronowere Ik'i mootse amantsuwotsi t giishatniye tteshi. Nemo koton kááwonowere ik jago tiatse datserawona tbeefo b́tesh.
I was [so] zealous [to make people obey those laws that] I caused the people who believe in Christ to suffer [because I thought they were trying to abolish those laws. Indeed], as far as my obeying those laws is concerned, no [one could] have accused [me by] saying that I had disobeyed any of those laws.
7 Eshe haniyere shin ot'etske etaat boats tiamaniru keewu jamwotsi Krstos jangosha etaat k'awunts deshaw Woteraw keewok'o woshdek'at boon taawirwe.
Nevertheless, all such things as those, which I used to [consider to] be useful to me, those [very] things I now consider worthless, because I [want to know] Christ (OR, in order that I [may know] Christ).
8 Maniyere okoon t doonz Krstos Iyesusi danoniyere bogo k'osho ik keewonwor bíaalok'owo tiamantsotse jam keewo oot'o b́ deshawok'o woshdek' taawirwe, b́ jangatse tuutson jam keewo t'ut're. Krstosnowere datsosha etaat jamkeewo maa fokets shotok'o taawuree.
More than that, I consider all things to be worthless, compared to how great it is to know Christ Jesus my Lord. Because I [want to know] him [better] (OR, In order that I [may know] him [better]), I have rejected all things as worthless. I consider them [as useless as] [MET] rubbish, in order that I may have [a close relationship with] Christ [MET],
9 Mantk'alir eegishe eteyal nemats need'iyetso t took kááwo k'ayk'rar imnetiyats need'iyetso Ik'iko kááwo Krstosi amanon daatsr bíntonuwere wotooshe.
and in order that I may completely belong to him. It was not as a result of [my obeying] the laws [he gave Moses] that God erased the record of my sins. Instead, it is because I have trusted in Christ [that God] has declared that I am no longer guilty for my sins, and he enables me to act righteously. [It is] God [himself who] has erased the record of my sins, and he enables me to act righteously, [only] because I have trusted [in Christ].
10 K'oshonuwere eegishe Krstosnat Krstos k'irotse b́tuwi ango danoshe, b́ gondbek'o kaytsi wotaarr b́ k'iroonowere bín arooshe.
I [want] to know Christ [better and better]. Particularly, I [want] to continually experience [his working] powerfully in my life, [just like God worked powerfully when he] caused Christ to become alive after he died. I [also want to be continually willing] to suffer [in order that I may obey God], just like Christ suffered [in order that he might obey God. I also want] to be completely willing to die for [Christ], even as he died for me,
11 Mank'onowore t k'iriyakon tuur dúre dúrosh kashon t beetuewk'o amanirwe.
[because I expect that, as a result of God’s goodness], he will cause me to live again after I have died.
12 Jaman and daatsafa'ee, weemó jamann s'eenre eto falratse, wotowa eree shlmatiyo dek'osh shinomaants wos'on kup'irwe, manshe Krstos Iyesus taan detsb́dek'i.
I do not claim that I have already become completely like Christ Jesus; that is, I have not already become all that God intends me to be [DOU]. But I earnestly try to become [more and more like Christ], because he chose me [in order that I might become like him].
13 T eshuwotso! hniya biyok t bodtsok'o woshde'er taawatse, ernmó ik keewo k'alituwe, bíwere t shuutsmaande beyiruwo bataar t shinatse beyiruwo detsosh kup'ituwe.
My fellow believers, I certainly do not consider that I have already become completely like Christ. But I [am like a runner. A runner does not look backward] [MET]. Instead, he leans/stretches forward as he runs straight toward the goal [in order that he might win the race and get the prize. Similarly], I do not think about what I have already done.
14 Shlmatiyo daatsosh t shinatse beyiru k'os'ok bodosh wos'etuwe, shlmatiyanowere Ik'o Krstos Iyesus weeron dambaan s'ede'r b́ imet kashoniye.
Instead, I concentrate only on [continuing to become more and more like Christ right up to the end of my life] [MET]. As a result, because of my relationship with Christ Jesus, God will call/summon me to receive a reward from him [in heaven].
15 Eshe shayiri beyon katsts jamwots han arts asaabiyo detso noosh geyituwe, it k'osh k'oshi hasabiyo it dagotse b́ beyal hasabiyan Ik'o itsh kishde'er kitsituwe.
So, all of us who are [spiritually] mature should think this [same way]. If any [of you] do not think this same way regarding what I [have written here], God will reveal that to you.
16 Han wotowa ekeewi wotowa and no bodts shayiri beyonton manuts wotowe.
What is important is that we must conduct our lives according to what [God has already revealed to] us.
17 Ti eshuwotso! taan araar tshuutso sha'on ikwotore, noon aroosh no shuuts shairwotsi nibnde'er s'iilere.
My fellow believers, [all of] you should follow my example, and observe those people who act as I do, [in order that you may imitate them also].
18 Haniyere shin ayoto itsh tkeewtsok'onat andoru ti aac'uwo kuut'fetsat itsh tkeewiru jamok'o ayuwots bosha'a sha'on Krstos jitewosh balangarwotsi woterne.
[Keep in mind that] there are many people [who say that they believe in Christ, but] who act [in such a way that shows] that they are opposed to [the teaching about] Christ [dying on] the cross [MTY]. I have told you about those people many times [before], and now I am sad, even crying, as I tell you [about them again].
19 Bosh bo Ik'o bomaac'oniye, bíyats tuutson boon jitsit keewone boi'it'iri, botewnonwere datsatsi keewe, mansh bokeewi s'uwo t'afe.
[God] will severely punish them. The things their bodies desire [MTY] have become [like] gods to them [MET]. They are proud of the things they should be ashamed of. They think only about what unbelievers [MTY] think about.
20 Noomó dari mengsit ash noone, manoknowere waar kashituwo no doonz Iyesus Krstosi tewunon kotirwone.
[But remember] that we are citizens of heaven. And we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, [to return] from there.
21 Bíwere ketts no atsan woniyiri b́ mangi atso bíarituwok'o woshituwe, hanuwere b́ k'alit jamo b́ ali shirots woshosh faliyit angone.
By the power that enables him to put everything under his own control, he will change our weak bodies to become like his glorious body.
