Philippians 3

1 Concerning other things, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. It is certainly not tiresome for me to write the same things to you, but for you, it is not necessary.

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.

2 Beware of dogs; beware of those who work evil; beware of those who are divisive.

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

3 For we are the circumcised, we who serve God in the Spirit and who glory in Christ Jesus, having no confidence in the flesh.

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.

4 Nevertheless, I might have confidence also in the flesh, for if anyone else seems to have confidence in the flesh, more so do I.

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

5 For I was circumcised on the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, from the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew among Hebrews. According to the law, I was a Pharisee;

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

6 according to zeal, I persecuted the Church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, I lived without blame.

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

7 But the things which had been to my gain, the same have I considered a loss, for the sake of Christ.

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

8 Yet truly, I consider everything to be a loss, because of the preeminent knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord, for whose sake I have suffered the loss of everything, considering it all to be like dung, so that I may gain Christ,

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.

9 and so that you may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, the justice within faith, which is of God.

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

10 So shall I know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his Passion, having been fashioned according to his death,

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

11 if, by some means, I might attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.

Ko ni kon rime ndi ton ludema ni nbe.

12 It is not as though I have already received this, or were already perfect. But rather I pursue, so that by some means I might attain, that in which I have already been attained by Christ Jesus.

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

13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have already attained this. Instead, I do one thing: forgetting those things that are behind, and extending myself toward those things that are ahead,

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.

14 I pursue the destination, the prize of the heavenly calling of God in Christ Jesus.

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

15 Therefore, as many of us as are being perfected, let us agree about this. And if in anything you disagree, God will reveal this to you also.

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

16 Yet truly, whatever point we reach, let us be of the same mind, and let us remain in the same rule.

Konni kon rime gyan ky ka gji gbagban.

17 Be imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who are walking similarly, just as you have seen by our example.

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

18 For many persons, about whom I have often told you (and now tell you, weeping, ) are walking as enemies of the cross of Christ.

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

19 Their end is destruction; their god is their belly; and their glory is in their shame: for they are immersed in earthly things.

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

20 But our way of life is in heaven. And from heaven, too, we await the Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

21 who will transform the body of our lowliness, according to the form of the body of his glory, by means of that power by which he is even able to subject all things to himself.

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.
