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.
Bhai ashaalongo ajangunji, nng'angalalanje nkulundana na Bhakulungwa. Nne ikandotoya kunjandishilanga indu ila pe ila, pabha shiimpwaanje mmanganyanji.
2 Watch out for those dogs, those workers of evil, those mutilators of the flesh!
Mwiiteiganje na bhandunji bhaatendanga yangali ya mmbone, bhandunji bha malinga mbwa, bhaakomelesheyanga ga kwaapotekanga bhandunji, gwangali ligongo.
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—
Pabha tujalwishe ukoto ni uwe, tukwaatindibhalila a Nnungu kwa Mbumu jwabho na kwiipuna ga lundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu. Wala tukaakulupalila ga nshiilu.
4 though I myself could have such confidence. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more:
Nkali nne mbingaga, ngunakombola kukulupalila ya nshiilu. Monaga apali mundu akwete ligongo lya kulupalila ya nshiilu, nne njipunda.
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;
Nne punajalwishe lyubha lya nane ngabhelekweje, nne ni jwa a Ishilaeli kabhila ja a Bhenjamini, Nanng'ebhulania jwa Bhaebhulania, ga kagulila shalia ja a Musha, nne Nampalishayo,
6 as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to righteousness in the law, faultless.
natendaga tumbila kwa kaje mpaka nikulipoteka likanisha, na kwa ngani ja uguja gwa kagulila shalia ja a Musha, ngakweteje shilebho.
7 But whatever was gain to me I count as loss for the sake of Christ.
Ikabheje kwa indu inaganishiyaga ya mbwaa nne, njikwibhona nngabha shindu kupunda kwaapinga a Kilishitu.
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
Elo, nngabha genegope, ikabhe indu yowe ngunakwibhona nngabha shindu, kwa ligongo lya mmbone lya kwaamanya a Kilishitu Yeshu, Bhakulungwa bhangu. Kwa ligongo lya Bhenebho njileka kila shindu, nikwiibhona mbuti mai, nkupinga naapate a Kilishitu,
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.
nilundana nabho kaje. Nne ngunakole aki jipatikana kwa kunda shalia. Ikabheje nnaino njikola aki pungwaakulupalila a Kilishitu, aki jikopoka kwa a Nnungu kwa ligongo lya ngulupai.
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,
Shingupinga naamanye a Kilishitu na kugabhona mashili ga yuka kwabho, na kundikanywa mmboteko yabho nililandanywa nshiwo shabho,
11 and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
numbe nne ngulikulupalila kuti ng'waga shinyuywe.
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.
Nngabha kuti njimaliya eu njitimilila, ng'oo! Ikabhe ngunatumbila ga mwanja nkupinga mbate shene shiindenda ngamulwe na a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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,
Mwashaalongo ajangunji, ngaganishiya kuti mbatile shenesho, ikabheje shingutenda shimo, ngunalibhala gapitile gala, nitumbilila gali mmujo.
14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.
Bhai, ngunatumbila na mwanja kuloya kundumbilile, nkupinga mbate upo injemelwe na a Nnungu kopoka ku nnungu, kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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.
Bhai, uwe tubhowe tukomele mmitima, uwe tuganishiye genego, na ibhaga nnganishiyangaga muna, bhai a Nnungu shibhannanguyanje genego.
16 Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained.
Bhai apano putuishile pano tunaleshelele, ikabheje tupunde kwenda mmujo.
17 Join one another in following my example, brothers, and carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you.
Ashaalongo ajangunji, nngaguyanje ingutenda nne, na mwaalolanje bhene bhaakaguyanga gutunnjigenyenje gala.
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.
Nammalanjilenje genego papagwinji, nnaino ngunakummalanjilanga akuno nilikopoka minyoi kuti, bhandu bhabhagwinji bhanatamangana mbuti bha magongo, bha shiwo sha a Kilishitu munshalabha.
19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things.
Mpelo gwabhonji ni kuobha, na nnungu jwabhonji ni ilokoli ya shiilu, na bhanakwiipunilanga ya tokomala, ibhaganishiyanga ya pa shilambolyope.
20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Ikabheje uwe ushilambo gwetu kuuli kunnungu, koposhela kweneko tunakwaalolela kwa lilaka, Bhaatapula na Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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.
Bhaapinga tindiganya iilu yetu yangali mashili ino, nkupinga ilandane na shiilu shabho sha ukonjelo, kwa gene mashiligo shibhaibhishe indu yowe, ibhe muukulungwa gwabho.
