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.
Pamonga na ago valongo vangu muhekelela mu kuwungana na Bambu. Nilonda lepi kuvayandikila gala genivayandikili. Ndava gakuvakitila ulonda musadika yinu.
2 See to dogs, see to evil workmen, see to the concision.
Mujiyangalila na avo vevikita gahakau, genago mabwa, vandu vevijova kwa makala yiganikiwa kujidumula jandu, vevijova kusanguliwa yiganikiwa kudumula jandu.
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by [the] Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.
Vandu vevadumwili jandu muuchakaka ndi tete, lepi vene, muni tete tikumgundamila Chapanga mukulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi, na kujimekela mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu. Tigahuvalila lepi mambu gegihengeka muhiga.
4 Though I have [my] trust even in flesh; if any other think to trust in flesh, I rather:
Nene namwene nganihotwili kugahuvalila mambu gegihengeka muhiga. Ngati avi mundu mweihololela ihotola kugahuvalila mambu gegihengeka muhiga, ihotola lepi kunihotola nene,
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;
Nadumwili jandu ligono la nane kuhuma kuvelekewa kwangu, nene namkolonjinji wa mulima wa Isilaeli likabila la Benjamini, kangi na mundu wa ku Ebulania wa chakaka. Ndava ya kulanda malagizu nene navi Mfalisayu,
6 as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to righteousness which [is] in [the] law, found blameless;
nakangamili neju kuvang'ahisa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu. Kangi mukuhenga gegaganikiwi na Chapanga gegiletwa kwa kuyidakila malagizu nene navili lepi na mwana.
7 but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.
Nambu ndava ya Kilisitu gala goha genagawene kadeni gabwina, hinu nikugawona gangali njombi.
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;
Nambu, lepi genago gene, nambu niwona kila chindu chabwina lepi ndava ya lijambu labwina neju, la kummanya Kilisitu Yesu ndi Bambu wangu. Ndava yaki niyidakili kutagila kutali kila chindu, genago goha nigawene kuvya mahi muni nimpatayi Kilisitu,
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,
na kuwungana nayu hotohoto. Nene mbwitu kavili uganu kuhenga gegiganikiwa na Chapanga kwa kuyidakila malagizu. Hinu nihenga gala gegiyidakiliwa na Chapanga kwa kumsadika Kilisitu, kulolekana mbwina palongolo ya Chapanga mu njila ya sadika.
10 to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
Chenigana ndi kummanya Kilisitu na kugawona makakala ga uyukisa waki, kuvya pamonga nayu mu mang'ahiso gaki na kufwa ndava yaki ngati cheafwili ndava yangu,
11 if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among [the] dead.
mukuhuvalila kuvya na nene mewa Chapanga yati akuniyukisa na kuvya muni.
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].
Nijova lepi nihikili amala nipungukiwi lepi chindu niyendelela kukangamala muni nihotola kupata njombi. Ndava yeniyi Kilisitu Yesu anipatili nivya waki.
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,
Chakaka, valongo vangu, nikangamala kuvya nipewili njombi, nambu lijambu limonga lenihenga, nikugakosiwa gala gegapitili na kukangamala kugakamula ga palongolo gala.
14 I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.
Hinu nikangamala kuhamba kula kweniganikiwa kuhamba, muni nipewa njombi. Ndi magono goha gangali mwishu mkemelu mu njila ya Kilisitu Yesu.
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.
Tavoha tete vetikangili mukumsadika Yesu Kilisitu yikutigana tivya na maholo genago. Nambu ngati vangi viholalela chingi, hinu Chapanga yati akuvagubukulila lijambu lenilo.
16 But whereto we have attained, [let us] walk in the same steps.
Nambu, tiyendelela kulongolo mu njila yiyoyo yetiyilandili mbaka hinu.
17 Be imitators [all] together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;
Valongo vangu, muhenga ngati chenihenga nene. Tivalangisi kukita gegiganikiwa, na ndi muvayuwanila vala vevakutiyiga tete.
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:
Nimali kuvajovela lijambu lenili pamahele, na hinu niwuyila kavili kwa maholi, vandu vamahele vitama ngati vamakoko va msalaba wa Kilisitu.
19 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things: )
Ndi mwishu wavi kuyongomela, muni vigana kuyihekesa higa yavi vene ndi chimlungu wavi. Kavili vimekela ndava ya mambu gavi ga soni. Viholalela nga mambu ga pamulima.
20 for our commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour,
Nambu tete tavakolonjinji va kunani kwa Chapanga, na kuhuma kwenuko tilindila kwa mnogo Msangula witu abwela kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, ndi Bambu Yesu Kilisitu.
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.
Mwene yati akuying'anamusa higa zitu zeziwola ziwanangana na higa yaki yevii yikulu neju, kwa makakala gala geihotola kuvika kila chindu muulongosi waki.
