Philippians 3
1 For the rest, my brethren, rejoice in [the] Lord: to write the same things to you, to me [is] not irksome, and for you safe.
Koulye a, frè m' yo, fè kè nou kontan nan Seyè a. Pou mwen, sa pa fè m' anyen pou m' repete sa m' te voye di nou deja. Men, se nan avantaj nou.
2 See to dogs, see to evil workmen, see to the concision.
Veye kò nou ak moun k'ap plede fè sa ki mal yo. Veye kò nou ak bann chen sa yo ki vle fè yo sikonsi nou.
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by [the] Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.
Si gen moun ki sikonsi tout bon, se pa yo, se nou menm. Paske nou menm, n'ap sèvi Bondye ak Lespri Bondye a, nou kontan dèske n'ap viv ansanm ak Jezikri. Nou pa mete konfyans nou nan sa lèzòm ap fè.
4 Though I have [my] trust even in flesh; if any other think to trust in flesh, I rather:
Mwen ta ka mete konfyans mwen nan bagay konsa tou, si m' te vle. Si gen moun ki kwè yo ka mete konfyans yo nan sa lèzòm ap fè, mwen pi ka fè l' pase yo.
5 as to circumcision, [I received it] the eighth day; of [the] race of Israel, of [the] tribe of Benjamin, Hebrew of Hebrews; as to [the] law, a Pharisee;
Mwen te gen wit jou depi m' te fèt lè yo sikonsi mwen. Mwen se yon moun Izrayèl natif natal, nan branch fanmi Benjamen, pitit pitit Ebè san (100) pou san (100). Sou keksyon lalwa Moyiz la menm, se pa pale: se farizyen mwen te ye.
6 as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to righteousness which [is] in [the] law, found blameless;
Mwen te sitèlman yon patizan fanatik lalwa a, mwen te menm rive pèsekite legliz la. Si yon moun te ka bon paske li fè sa lalwa a mande, enben mwen te bon nèt ale.
7 but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.
Men, si yon lè mwen te konsidere tout bagay sa yo tankou yon garanti, koulye a yo pa vo anyen pou mwen, akòz Kris la.
8 But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them to be filth, that I may gain Christ;
Men, se pa sa sèlman. Se tout bagay menm ki pa vo anyen pou mwen, lè m' konpare yo ak gwo avantaj mwen genyen lè m' konnen Jezikri tankou Seyè mwen. Poutèt li, mwen voye tout bagay jete, mwen gade yo tankou fatra pou m' sa gen Kris la,
9 and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which [would be] on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which [is] of God through faith,
pou m' ka viv ansanm avè l' nèt ale. Konsa, mwen pa gen pretansyon mwen bon paske mwen fè sa lalwa a mande. Men, Bondye fè m' gras paske mwen mete konfyans mwen nan Kris la. Wi, Bondye fè tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li gras.
10 to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
Se yon sèl bagay mwen bezwen: se konnen pou m' konnen Kris la, pou m' santi nan mwen pouvwa ki te fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, pou m' soufri ansanm avè l' nan soufrans li yo, pou m' rive mouri tankou li tou,
11 if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among [the] dead.
avèk espwa, mwen menm tou m'a gen pou m' leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
12 Not that I have already obtained [the prize], or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession [of it], seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus].
Mwen pa gen pretansyon mwen rive deja kote m' prale a, ni mwen poko fin bon nèt. Men, m'ap kouri sou kous mwen pou m' wè si m' ka mete men sou kote m' dwe rive a, paske Jezikri pou tèt pa l' fin mete men sou mwen deja.
13 Brethren, I do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing — forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,
Se vre wi, frè m' yo. Mwen pa kwè mwen deja mete men m' sou kote m' dwe rive a. Men, mwen gen yon sèl bagay pou m' fè, se pou m' bliye tou sa ki dèyè m' pou m' fè jefò pou m' mete men m' sou sa ki devan m' lan.
14 I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.
Konsa, m'ap kouri dwat devan m' sou mak kote m' prale a, pou m' ka jwenn rekonpans Bondye rele m' vin resevwa nan syèl la, gremesi Jezikri.
15 As many therefore as [are] perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you.
Nou tout ki byen grandi nan lafwa, se menm lide sa a pou n' gen nan tèt nou tou. Men, si gen moun pami nou ki gen lòt lide sou kèk pwen, Bondye va fè yo wè pi klè sou sa.
16 But whereto we have attained, [let us] walk in the same steps.
Nenpòt jan sa ye, ann mache toujou jan n' te konmanse a.
17 Be imitators [all] together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;
Nou tout frè m' yo, pran egzanp sou mwen. Kenbe je nou fiske sou moun k'ap swiv egzanp mwen te bay la.
18 (for many walk of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they [are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Paske, gen anpil moun k'ap viv tankou moun ki pa vle tande pale jan Kris la mouri sou kwa a. Mwen te deja di nou sa, koulye a m'ap di nou sa ankò ak dlo nan je mwen:
19 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things: )
Moun sa yo ap rive fin detwi tèt yo. Se vant yo ki bondye yo. Yo pran plezi yo nan bagay ki pou ta fè yo wont pito. Se bagay lemonn ase ki nan tèt yo.
20 for our commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour,
Men nou menm, nou se sitwayen peyi ki nan syèl la. Se tann n'ap tann Delivrans nou, Jezikri, Seyè a, ki gen pou desann sot nan syèl la.
21 who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of [the] power which he has even to subdue all things to himself.
Se li menm k'ap pran pouvwa li genyen pou soumèt tout bagay anba men l' lan, l'ap chanje vye kò tou fèb nou yo pou l' fè yo tounen tankou kò pa l' la ki gen bèl pouvwa.
