Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.
Pakupwililisha mobanse bame, ndambangeti, kamukondwani pakwikatana ne Mwami. Nkacela kundemesha kumulembela kayi bintu mbyondalamulembela kendi, pakwinga awo maswi ngamunyamfwilisha kutatonshanya.
2 Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.
Cenjelani ne bantu bamicito yabukabwa, beshikwinsa byaipa, bayuminina nta pakupalula mubili.
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
Afwe njafwe twalapalulwa cancinencine, afwe tukute kukambilila Lesa pakutanguninwa ne Mushimu Uswepa. Tukute kutwangila mukwikatana ne Yesu Klistu. Neco nkatukute kushoma myambo ilambangowa sha pamubili sobwe.
4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
Lino njame ndalikuba welela kushoma myambo ya mubili ilicisa. Na pali muntu layeyengeti washoma myambo ya kumubili ya mushoboyu, ame nkute cebo capitapo,
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
pakwinga ame ndalapalulwa kandicili ne masubowa asanu ne atatu. Njame Muislayeli wamu mukowa wa Benjameni, njame muHebeli nkonko walasemwa kumashali ba ciHebeli. Na tulamba sha Milawo ya Bayuda ndalikuba mulikoto lya Bafalisi.
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
Kayi Ndalikuba wakangwabu cakwinseti ndalapensha mubungano. Lino kwelana ne kululama kukute kucanika mukukonkela milawo, ame nkandalikukute kampenda kali konse sobwe.
7 However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.
Nomba byonse mbyondalikuboneti bikute pindu, lino ndabicaneti paliyawa mobibilele cebo ca Klistu.
8 Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
Cakubinga bintu byonse ibi biliya pindu, pakwinga nkabyelana ne pindu ili mukwinshiba Yesu Klistu, Mwami wakame. Ecebo cakendi ndabitaya byonse. Ndabibonongoweti byunsho, kwambeti pindu inene yakame ibe Klistu,
9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,
kwambeti ame nendiye twikale pamo cakupwililika. Nkandalyelekeshenga kuba walulama palwakame pakukonkela Milawo, nsombi ndelela kuba walulama pakucanika mukushoma Klistu, bululami bweshikufuma kuli Lesa, bwebakwa palushomo.
10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,
Ncondayandishishinga nikwambeti njinshibe Klistu, nekubona ngofu shakendi shakupunduka kubafu. kayi ndayandanga kunyumfwa byeshikubaba pamo nendiye kwambeti mbeti endiye mulufu lwakendi.
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Ndelekeshenga kwinseco pakupembeleleti mpani nenjame nkekale nebuyumi pakupunduka kubafu.
12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
Nkandambangeti ndacikonsho kendi kayi nkandololoka sobwe. Nsombi ndafwambanga mwakutalefuka kwambeti nkacane cilambo ncalanyandila Yesu Klistu pakunkwela kwambeti mbe wakendi.
13 Brothers, I do not regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before,
Mobanse bame, nkandambangeti ndatambulu kendi cilambo sobwe. Nsombi pali cintu cimo nconkute kwinsa, nkute kuluba byakunyuma nekwelekesha cangofu kucana byakuntangu.
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Ndafwambanga lubilo kayi ndipepi kushika pacikonkwani, kwambeti nkatatambule cilambo Kwilu ico Lesa ncalatukuwilinga kupitila mukwikatana pamo ne Yesu Klistu.
15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.
Lino afwe twense otulakulu mubuyumi bwetu bwaku mushimu, tube ne moyo wopelowo. Na pali bintu nabimbi mbyomukutepo miyeyo yapusana, Lesa nakamumunikile.
16 Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let’s walk by the same rule. Let’s be of the same mind.
Neco nambi cibaconi, katwikatishani mwangofu bintu ibyo mbyotukute kendi mpaka lino.
17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
Mobanse bame, kamukonkelani njame, kayi mubalabilile abo bantu balendenga mwakukonkela cilesho calumbuluka ncetwalamushiyila.
18 For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,
Ndamwambili sha bintu ibi mankanda angi, nomba kayi ndabweshengaponga kandila misoshi kwambeti pali bantu bangi balendenga mubuyumi bulaleshengeti nibalwani ba lusanda lwa Klistu.
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
Mapwililisho abo nikulobelela, pakwinga mbyobasuni byakumubili ebilabanga Lesa wabo. Nabo balatwanganga ne bintu byanga byelela kubapa nsoni, kayi bashowa miyeyo yabo pabintu byapacishi capanshi byonka.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Nsombi afwe tobene cishi ca Kwilu, kayi enkweshakafumine Mupulushi ngotulapembelelenga, uyo ni Mwami Yesu Klistu.
21 who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
Nendi nakaisandule mibili yetu ikute kubola, ikabeti mubili wakendi wabulemu. Ee, nakacinse mungofu shakendi isho nshela kusebensesha pakubika bintu byonse panshi pa bwendeleshi bwakendi.
