< Philippians 3 >

1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.
Xaq kꞌu jeriꞌ wachalal, chixkiꞌkot pa ri Ajawxel. Man kinqꞌiꞌtaj taj kintzalij utzꞌibꞌaxik we jastaq riꞌ chiꞌwe xuqujeꞌ wetaꞌm chi utz kubꞌan chiꞌwe ix.
2 Watch out for those dogs, those workers of evil, those mutilators of the flesh!
Chichajij iwibꞌ chike ri itzel taq winaq ri jer kenoꞌjin tzꞌiꞌ, ri aꞌreꞌ kakaj kakoj iwetal.
3 For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—
Jeriꞌ rumal ri uj ri uj kojom qetal, kaqapatanij ri Dios pa ri uxlabꞌal xuqujeꞌ man kakubꞌiꞌ ta qakꞌuꞌx pa ri qatyoꞌjal xane nim kaqanaꞌo rumal uj kꞌo pa Cristo Jesús.
4 though I myself could have such confidence. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more:
Ri in qas kuꞌlinaq na kꞌuꞌx chirij waꞌ we riꞌ. We kꞌo jun kukojo chi kꞌo rumal kakubꞌiꞌ ukꞌuꞌx chirij ri uchuqꞌabꞌ ri winaq, in in kꞌo na cho we winaq riꞌ.
5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;
Kojtal wetal chi wuq qꞌij, in aj pa ri tinimit Israel, in rijaꞌl ri Benjamín, qas in hebreo wi, xuqujeꞌ chutereneꞌxik ri taqanik xinkꞌojiꞌk kukꞌ ri fariseos.
6 as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to righteousness in the law, faultless.
Qas uchapom wi na kꞌuꞌx chupatanixik ri taqanik, rumal riꞌ xinbꞌan kꞌax chike ri komontyox. Man kꞌo ta jun kabꞌin chwe chi mat xinnimaj ri taqanik.
7 But whatever was gain to me I count as loss for the sake of Christ.
Pune jeriꞌ, ronojel ri chꞌekoj kanoq chinuwach nabꞌe, chanim kinchomaj chi man kꞌo ta kutayij chwe rumal cher are nim na ri xubꞌan ri Cristo choch ronojel.
8 More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ
Qas ne tzij wi, man kꞌo ta kutayij ronojel ri xinbꞌan kanoq rumal chi are sibꞌalaj nim na uqꞌij ri retaꞌmaxik uwach ri wAjaw Cristo Jesús cho we jastaq riꞌ.
9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith.
Rech jeriꞌ kinbꞌan na riqoj ibꞌ rukꞌ areꞌ. Man are ta kawaj kinbꞌan ri sukꞌal re ri taqanik, xane are kawaj ri sukꞌal ri kape che ri Dios pa ri kojobꞌal.
10 I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to Him in His death,
Ronojel xintzaq kanoq rumal retaꞌmaxik uwach ri Cristo, xuqujeꞌ rech kinnaꞌo ri ukwinem ri xukꞌutu are xkꞌastajik chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ, rech xuqujeꞌ kinriq we ri kꞌax rukꞌ Areꞌ rech jeriꞌ xuqujeꞌ kinkamik jetaq ri xubꞌan Areꞌ.
11 and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Kurayij na kꞌuꞌx kinukꞌastajisaj na ri Dios chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ.
12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Man tajin ta kinbꞌij chi xchꞌektaj wumal ronojel, o man kꞌo ta chi kajawataj chwe. Xane xaq jeꞌ inbꞌenaq, kurayij ri wanimaꞌ kinopanik chubꞌanik ri inusikꞌim wi apanoq ri Cristo.
13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
Wachalal, wetaꞌm chi kꞌamajaꞌ kinopanik jawjeꞌ ri yaꞌtalik kinopan wi. Xwi ri kinbꞌano are chi kasachan kanoq chwe ri xikꞌow kanoq, are kinkoj nuchuqꞌabꞌ chubꞌanik ri kꞌo apanoq chinuwach.
14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.
Xaq jeriꞌ inbꞌenaq chinuwach rech kinopanik jawjeꞌ ri yaꞌtal wi kinopanik rech jeriꞌ keꞌnriqa na ri utzujum ri Dios chwe pa ri sikꞌinik rech chikajil pa Cristo Jesús.
15 All of us who are mature should embrace this point of view. And if you think differently about some issue, God will reveal this to you as well.
Xaq jeriꞌ qonojel ri uj tzꞌaqat chik kaqanaꞌo, xa jun chujchomanoq, we kꞌu jun chi wi kixchomanik, ri Dios riꞌ kuqꞌalajisaj chiꞌwach.
16 Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained.
Junam qabꞌana che ri qachomabꞌal japawjeꞌ ri ujopaninaq wi chanim.
17 Join one another in following my example, brothers, and carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you.
Wachalal, are chiwesaj uwach ri kinbꞌano, xuqujeꞌ chiꞌwila ri je tajin kenoꞌjinik jetaq ri qakꞌutum chikiwach.
18 For as I have often told you before, and now say again even with tears: Many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
Jetaq ri nubꞌim chiꞌwe, kinkamulij chi ubꞌixik junmul rukꞌ uwaꞌl nubꞌoqꞌoch, sibꞌalaj e kꞌi ri kakichomaj chi man kꞌo ta kutayij chike ri ukamikal ri Cristo cho ri ripbꞌal.
19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things.
Kakꞌis na tzij pa kiwiꞌ we winaq riꞌ, rumal che ri are kakiqꞌijilaꞌj ri urayibꞌal taq kikꞌuꞌx xuqujeꞌ nimal kakinaꞌo are kakibꞌano ri kꞌixibꞌal ubꞌanik, xaq xwi kakichomaj rij ri jastaq rech uwachulew.
20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Ri uj kꞌut, uj rech pa ri kaj, qayeꞌm apanoq ri Kolonel, ri Ajawxel Jesucristo ri upetik chilaꞌ chikaj.
21 who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.
Ri Jesucristo rukꞌ ronojel ri ukwinem ri ukojom chuchajixik ronojel ri utikom, are kakꞌexow na bꞌik ri qatyoꞌjal ri xaq kaqꞌayik, pa tyoꞌjal ri kajuluwik, jetaq ri rech Areꞌ.
