Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is really not irksome to me, but safe for you.
Finalman, frè m yo rejwi nou nan Senyè a! Pou m ekri menm bagay yo ankò pa yon pwoblèm pou mwen, e se yon pwotèj pou nou menm.
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workmen, beware of the excision.
Veye chen yo, veye ouvriye mechan yo, veye fo sikonsizyon an.
3 For we are the circumcision, men who worship in spirit to God, and who boast in Christ Jesus, and not being confident in flesh.
Paske nou menm se vrè sikonsizyon an, ki adore nan Lespri Bondye a, e bay glwa nan Kris Jésus, e ki pa mete konfyans nan lachè.
4 Although (I having confidence also in flesh) if any other man seems to be confident in the flesh, I more:
Byenke mwen menm ta kapab gen konfyans menm nan lachè. Si gen nenpòt lòt moun ki gen lide pou mete konfyans li nan lachè, mwen menm bokou plis ke sa:
5 in circumcision the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; regarding law, a Pharisee;
sikonsi nan uityèm jou a, ne nan nasyon Israël la, nan tribi Benjamin an, yon Ebre a Ebre yo; selon Lalwa a, yon Farizyen;
6 regarding zeal, persecuting the church; regarding the righteousness in law, having become blameless.
kòm zele, yon pèsekitè legliz la; kòm ladwati ki nan Lalwa a, ki twouve san fot.
7 But whatever was gain to me, these things I regarded loss because of the Christ.
Men nenpòt bagay ki te benefis pou mwen, mwen konte bagay sa yo kòm pèt pou koz a Kris la.
8 But indeed therefore I even consider all things to be loss because of things surpassing, of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I suffered the loss of all things, and consider them to be rubbish, so that I may gain Christ,
Anplis de sa, mwen konte tout bagay kòm pèt an konsiderasyon ak piwo valè ke m konnen Kris Jésus a, Senyè mwen an. Pou Sila mwen te soufri pèt tout bagay yo, e konte yo kòm fatra, pou m kapab genyen Kris.
9 and be found in him, not having my righteousness, that from law, but that through Christ's faith-the righteousness from God based on faith-
E pou m ta kab twouve nan Li, pa avèk ladwati pa m, ki sòti nan Lalwa a, men ki soti pa lafwa nan Kris la, ladwati ki sòti nan Bondye sou baz lafwa a.
10 to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the participation of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
Pou mwen kapab konnen Li, ak pouvwa a rezirèksyon Li an, ak lamitye a soufrans li yo, ki fè m konfòme menm a lanmò Li,
11 if somehow I might attain to the resurrection of the dead.
pou m ta kapab rive menm nan rezirèksyon a lanmò a.
12 Not that I have already obtained or have already been fully perfected, but I press forward, if also I might seize upon that for which also I was seized by Christ Jesus.
Se pa ke m rive la deja oubyen ke m vin pafè deja, men mwen ap pouse pi rèd pou m kapab rive sou pèfeksyon sa a ki te fè Kris Jésus mete men l sou mwen an.
13 Brothers, I reckon myself not to have seized, but one thing, indeed forgetting the things behind, and reaching forward to the things ahead,
Frè m yo, mwen pa gade tèt mwen kòm youn ki rive sou li deja, men yon sèl bagay ke m fè; se bliye sa ki dèyè e lonje pa devan pou sa k ap vini an,
14 I press forward toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
mwen pouse rive vè objektif la, pou m genyen pri wo apèl Bondyenan Kris Jésus a.
15 As many therefore as are perfect should think this way. And if ye think anything differently, this also God will reveal to you.
Konsa, otan nan nou ki pafè, annou gen menm panse sa a. Epi si nan nenpòt bagay nou pa reflechi konsa Bondye va osi revele sa a nou.
16 However in what we have attained, to march by the same standard, to think the same way.
Sepandan, nan menm fòs ke nou deja reyisi, annou kontinye viv pa menm prensip ke nou fin atenn deja a. Annou toujou gen menm panse.
17 Brothers, become fellow-imitators of me, and watch those who so walk, just as ye have us for an example.
Frè m yo vin swiv egzanp mwen an, e swiv sila ki mache selon modèl ke nou gen nan nou an.
18 For many walk, who (I told you often, and now also say while weeping) are enemies of the cross of Christ,
Paske anpil moun mache, de sila mwen te souvan di nou yo, e koulye a mwen di nou ankò menm avèk dlo nan zye m, ke yo se lènmi lakwa a Kris la,
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and the glory in their shame, who mind earthly things.
ki gen pou fen, destriksyon, ki gen pou dye pa yo apeti yo, e ki gen pou glwa yo, wont yo, ki fikse panse yo sou bagay tèrès yo.
20 For our citizenship exists in the heavens, from which also we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Paske pou nou menm sitwayènte nou se nan syèl la. E soti nan li menm, n ap tann ak enpasyans yon Sovè, Senyè a, Jésus Kri,
21 who will transform the body of our lowliness, in order for it to become similar in form to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power even to subject all things to himself.
ki va transfòme move kò sila a, pou l vin konfòme ak kò laglwa pa Li a. Li va fè sa pa egzèsis a pouvwa ke Li genyen pou soumèt tout bagay anba otorite pa L.
