Philippians 3

1 Ni klema imri vayi mu ngriniminde Rji ndu mila nha ikpyi biyi niwu ana kpye u ron ma na. Ikpyi biyi ba hra(ka) gi.

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed [is] not grievous, but for you [it is] safe.

2 Tie sesren ni yawhu. Tie sesren ni ndji bi tie ndu meme tie sesren ni bi tsen ce.

Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

3 Aki ta yi wa kie he niyo jii'a. Niwa ahi kieta yi ki kukhwu ni Rji ni Brji u Rji. A kietayi ki ga kpan ni mi Kristi Yesu, ndi na he ni ngbengblen ukpa'na.

For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

4 Tokima me, ime tumu mihe ni gbengblen ukpa. indjio ni ta tre ndi wawu he ngbengblen ukpa, to ime mi zan wu.

Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

5 Ni fi u tandra mba ha lelen mu, ni mi ndi bi Israila ni gbugblu bi Biliyaminu, Bayaduden Yahudawa, ni tre bla nemi Bafarisiye

Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, [of] the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

6 Nitun weren hi ngran bi hu Rji. Niton ten ni tre bla, ime he tsratsra me.

Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

7 Ikpi biyi wawu wa mba he ndindi nimu me ngba ba nahe ndidin nimuna intu Almasihu.

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

8 E me mbagpi biyi wawu mbana kpe nimuna dun nde Almasihu Yesu Irjimu. Nitumayi ikpi wawu me kabale. miya ba mbana gpi nimuna dun dime gji Almasihu.

Yea doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may win Christ,

9 Mi na he ndidi intu muna ni kon blana Mi he ni ndidi sroun inkon mikpa Almasihu, ndidi sroun wa arji ni Rji.

And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

10 Zizan mison ton ni ludema, ni tsre ni wu ni mi nyama. Ni he nama ni kon kwuma.

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

11 Ko ni kon rime ndi ton ludema ni nbe.

If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

12 Mi na he ni kpi biyi yena, mi na nddi ma yena, mi si nar kon wa mi hu Almasihu Yesu.

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

13 Imri vayi, mina fu'u kpi gjirina, igpi riri mi te; mi kpa risu ni gpe a he nikogon ndi ya gpe ahe nikon shishi.

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

14 Mi si narkon wa abi ni mre wa mi gpa dimu ni Rji ni mi Kristi Yesu.

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Kita wawu wa ky kai nde ye, kyi rimri nayin, ndawu rimri kan nikon ri, Rji ni ya tsron.

Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

16 Konni kon rime gyan ky ka gji gbagban.

Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

17 Imri vayin hu grumu, yan biwa ba tsre ni kon wabi zi wuton.

Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

18 Ndi gbugbu'u. Biwa mi sha la niyiwu, zizan me mi si la niyiwu ni man shishi, biwa mba na kpa nyeme gicceye Almasihu.

(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:

19 Mkwkla mba a kwu, Irji mba aminci mba, ingri mba ashan. Imre mba ahe ni gpi bi meme.

Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

20 U, meme wa kie mrhima ahi shulu, wa'a rji ni kima, kie si gben u jbutaa, yesu Kristi.

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

21 Ani ka'kpa mbu u kungren sran hi katie ikpa wa ba tie ba too bi u maa, wa ba tie mba ni ngbengblen ma ni ndu nji ikpyi wawuu hi ni wu.

Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
