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.
Ní àkótán ará, ẹ máa yọ̀ nínú Olúwa wa. Kì í ṣe ìnira fún mi láti kọ̀wé ohun kan náà sí yín, ṣùgbọ́n fún yín ó jẹ́ ohun ààbò.
2 See to dogs, see to evil workmen, see to the concision.
Ẹ kíyèsára lọ́dọ̀ àwọn ajá, ẹ kíyèsára lọ́dọ̀ àwọn oníṣẹ́ búburú, ẹ sì kíyèsára lọ́dọ̀ àwọn onílà.
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by [the] Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.
Nítorí àwa ni onílà, tí ń sin Ọlọ́run nípa ti Ẹ̀mí, àwa sì ń ṣògo nínú Kristi Jesu, àwa kò sí ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú ẹran-ara.
4 Though I have [my] trust even in flesh; if any other think to trust in flesh, I rather:
Bí èmi tìkára mi pẹ̀lú ti ní ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú ara. Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá rò pé òun ni ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nínú ara, tèmi tilẹ̀ pọ̀,
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;
ẹni tí a kọ nílà ní ọjọ́ kẹjọ, láti inú kùkùté Israẹli wá, láti inú ẹ̀yà Benjamini, Heberu láti inú Heberu wá; nítorí, ní ti òfin Farisi ni èmi;
6 as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to righteousness which [is] in [the] law, found blameless;
ní ti ìtara, èmi ń ṣe inúnibíni sí ìjọ; ní ti òdodo tí ó wà nínú òfin, mo jẹ́ aláìlẹ́gàn.
7 but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.
Ṣùgbọ́n ohunkóhun tí ó ti jásí èrè fún mi, àwọn ni mo ti kà sí òfo nítorí Kristi.
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;
Nítòótọ́ láìṣe àní àní mo sì ka ohun gbogbo sí òfo nítorí ìtayọ ìmọ̀ Kristi Jesu Olúwa mi; nítorí ẹni ti mo ti ṣòfò ohun gbogbo, mo si kà wọn sí ohun tí kò ní èrè, kí èmi lè jèrè Kristi,
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,
kí a sì lè bá mi nínú rẹ̀, láìní òdodo tí èmi tìkára mi, tí ó ti inú òfin wá, ṣùgbọ́n èyí tí ó ti inú ìgbàgbọ́ wá nínú Kristi, òdodo láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run nípasẹ̀ ìgbàgbọ́.
10 to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
Èmi mọ̀ ọ́n, àti agbára àjíǹde rẹ̀, àti láti jẹ́ alábápín nínú ìyà rẹ̀ nígbà tí mo bá fi ara mọ́ ọn nínú ikú rẹ̀;
11 if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among [the] dead.
nípasẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ kí èmi lè ní àjíǹde kúrò nínú òkú.
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].
Kì í ṣe pé ọwọ́ mi ti tẹ̀ ẹ́ ná, tàbí mo ti di pípé, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ń lépa sí i, bí ọwọ́ mi yóò lè tẹ èrè náà nítorí èyí tí a ti dì mímú pẹ̀lú, láti ọ̀dọ̀ Kristi Jesu wá.
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,
Ará, èmi kò kara mi sí ẹni ti ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ti tẹ̀ ẹ́ ná, ṣùgbọ́n ohun kan yìí ni èmi ń ṣe, èmi ń gbàgbé àwọn nǹkan tí ó ti kọjá. Lẹ́yìn náà mo ń nàgà wo àwọn nǹkan tí ó wà níwájú.
14 I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.
Èmi ń lépa láti dé òpin eré ìje náà fún èrè ìpè gíga Ọlọ́run nínú Kristi Jesu.
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.
Nítorí náà, ẹ jẹ́ kí àwa tí a dàgbà nípa ti ẹ̀mí ni èrò yìí; bí ẹ̀yin bá sì ní èrò mìíràn nínú ohunkóhun, èyí náà pẹ̀lú ni Ọlọ́run yóò fihàn yín.
16 But whereto we have attained, [let us] walk in the same steps.
Kìkì pé, ki a ma gbe ìgbé ayé gẹ́gẹ́ bi èyí ti a ri gba.
17 Be imitators [all] together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;
Ará, ẹ jùmọ̀ ṣe àfarawé mi, ẹ ṣe àkíyèsí àwọn tí ń rìn bẹ́ẹ̀, àní bí ẹ ti ní wa fún àpẹẹrẹ.
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:
Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ní ń rìn, nípasẹ̀ àwọn ẹni tí mo ti ń wí fún yín nígbàkígbà, àní, tí mo sì ń sọkún bí mo ti ń wí fún yín nísinsin yìí, pé, ọ̀tá àgbélébùú Kristi ni wọ́n.
19 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things: )
Ìgbẹ̀yìn wọn ni ìparun, ikùn wọn sì ni Ọlọ́run wọn, wọ́n sì ń ṣògo nínú ìtìjú wọn, àwọn ẹni tí ń tọ́jú ohun ti ayé.
20 for our commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour,
Nítorí ìlú ìbílẹ̀ wá ń bẹ̀ ní ọ̀run, láti ibi ti àwa pẹ̀lú gbé ń fojúsọ́nà fún Olùgbàlà, Jesu Kristi Olúwa.
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.
Ẹni tí yóò sọ ara ìrẹ̀lẹ̀ wa di ọ̀tún kí ó lè bá ara ògo rẹ̀ mu, nípa agbára tí ó mú kí ó ṣe é ṣe fún un láti tẹ orí ohun gbogbo bá fún ara rẹ̀.
