Philippians 3
1 To sum up: my dear friends, delight in the Lord! It's not a burden for me to repeat these things to you—it's to keep you safe!
Mogik jowetena, beduru mamor kuom Ruoth! Aonge gi pek moro manyalo tama nwoyonu weche mane asendikonu motelo, nikech wechegi obedonu ohinga mar konyruok.
2 Watch out for the wolves, those who do evil, those who insist on physical circumcision—
Beduru motangʼ ni guogi ma gin joma timo timbe mamono kendo moramo ni ji nyaka ter nyangu.
3 for it's we who are truly circumcised, worshiping by the Spirit of God, placing our assurance in Christ Jesus. We have no confidence in human abilities—
Nikech wan wawegi ema waseyudo nyangu madiera, nikech walemo ka wan ei Roho mar Nyasaye, sungawa ni kuom Kristo Yesu, kendo ok waketo genowa kuom ringruok,
4 for if there was a way to rely on human nature then I myself could have that confidence! If anyone thinks they have confidence in such human things, then I outdo them:
kata obedo ni an awuon an-gi gimomiyo anyalo bedo gi genono. Kapo ni ngʼato nyalo bedo gi gimomiyo dodhialre e ringruok, an awuon daloye:
5 I was circumcised on the eighth day, I'm an Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin, a true Hebrew. Regarding legal observance I'm a Pharisee;
Notera nyangu chiengʼ mar aboro bangʼ nywolna kendo an ja-Israel gitiende monywol e dhood Benjamin, bende an ja-Hibrania ma wuod jo-Hibrania. Korka luwo Chik jo-Yahudi to ne an ja-Farisai,
6 as for religious dedication I was a persecutor of the church; while in regard to doing right according to the law I was blameless!
kuom timo kinda, naketo chunya mar sando kanisa, kuom rito chik ne an ngʼama ler, maonge ketho.
7 But in whatever way such things gained me anything, I count them as a loss for Christ.
To kata kamano, gigo duto mane akwano chon ka ohala tinde akwano ka gik manono nikech Kristo.
8 Truly, I count everything as loss in exchange for the incredible benefit I've gained through knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I've thrown away all these things for him, and consider them trash, so that I might gain Christ.
To moloyo mano, koro akwano gik moko duto ka gik maonge tich nikech aseyudo ni ngʼeyo Kristo Yesu Ruodha nigi ohala maduongʼ moloyo. Nikech en, ne aweyo gik moko duto olalna, kendo akwanogi mana kaka yugi, mondo eka ayud Kristo kaka pokna,
9 I want to be found in him, not being right because of what I've done, or what the law requires, but made right through confidence in Christ, set right by God through trusting in him.
kendo oyuda kuome, mondo kik anenra ni aloso yora awuon mar bet makare e nyim Nyasaye nikech mako Chik, to adwaro ni mano otimrena mana nikech ayie kuom Kristo. Bedo kare e yorni aa kuom Nyasaye kendo wayude kuom yie.
10 I want to really know him, and the power of his resurrection—to take part in his suffering and become like him in his death,
Adwaro ngʼeyo Kristo kod teko miyudo kuom chierne kendo ayie riwora kode e sandne ka amedo bedo machal kode pile kuom thone,
11 so that somehow I might be part of the resurrection from the dead!
kanyalore to an bende nochiera aa kuom joma otho.
12 Not that I've already got it all, or that I'm already perfect—but I run so that I might win what was won for me by Christ Jesus.
Ok awach ni aselocho kata ni asebedo ngʼat makare, to atemo matek mondo achop gima omiyo Kristo Yesu nomaka.
13 My friends, I don't consider that I've already won, but this is my one objective: disregarding what is behind me, I strain forward to what is in front of me.
Jowetena, pod ok akwanra kaka ngʼat moseyudo gino, to gimoro achiel matimo en ni wiya wil gi gik mosekadho, to ahawo gik manyime,
14 I run towards the finish line to win the prize of God's invitation to heaven through Christ Jesus.
aringo matek mondo achopi mondo omi ayud pokna mane Nyasaye oluongane kuom Kristo Yesu.
15 Those of us who are spiritually mature should think like this, and if you think anything different, then God will reveal this to you.
Wan duto ma wan gi yie motegno onego wapar kuom gigi. To ka pachu opogore gi mano e yo moro, to Nyasaye biro leronu.
16 We just need to make sure that we follow what we already have understood.
Kata kamano, wadhiuru nyime kod ngima mawasenwangʼo.
17 My friends, copy my example as others do and take note of the way to behave since you have us as a model.
Jowetena, riwreuru gi ji mamoko kungʼiyo maber joma kit wuodh ngimagi chal gi ranyisi mane uneno kuomwa.
18 The way some people live makes them enemies of the cross of Christ—as I've often told you before and repeat again though it pains me so much I want to weep.
Nikech mana kaka asebedo ka anyisou motelo kendo koro anyisou ka pi wangʼa chwer, ji mangʼeny ngimagi omiyo gibedo jowasik msalap Kristo.
19 They will end up being completely lost, these people whose “god” is their physical desires and who are proud of what they should be ashamed of, thinking only about the things of this world.
To giko joma kamago en kethruok nikech igi e nyasachgi, kendo gik ma gimiyorego duongʼ ema kelonigi wichkuot, ka pachgi otwere gige pinyni.
20 But our homeland is heaven, and we're waiting for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from there too.
Wan to polo e thurwa, kendo warito Jawarwa Ruoth Yesu Kristo gi geno mondo obi oomwa.
21 He will re-create our defective human bodies so that they will be made like his glorious body using the power by which he brings everything under his control.
Obiro loko ringrewa matho mondo obed gi duongʼ machal gi ringre, kotiyo gi teko maduongʼ mamiyo oketo gik moko duto e bwo lochne.
