< Philippians 3 >
1 Moreouer, my brethren, reioyce in the Lord. It grieueth mee not to write the same things to you, and for you it is a sure thing.
Na nchịkọta okwu ndị a niile, ụmụnna m, na-aṅụrịnụ ọṅụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị. Ike adịghị agwụ m ịgwa unu ihe ndị a. Ọ bakwaara unu uru ịnụ ụdị okwu a mgbe niile.
2 Beware of dogges: beware of euil workers: beware of the concision.
Kpachapụrụnụ onwe unu anya nʼebe ndị mmadụ ọjọọ ahụ yiri nkịta nọ. Ndị ahụ na-eyiwasị ahụ ha.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirite, and reioyce in Christ Iesus, and haue no confidence in the flesh:
Nʼihi na ọ bụ anyị bụ ndị ezi obibi ugwu ahụ, ọ bụghị ha, nʼihi na anyị bụ ndị na-efe Chineke site na Mmụọ ya. Anyị na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼime Kraịst Jisọs. Anyị adịghị atụkwasị obi nʼihe e mere nʼanụ ahụ.
4 Though I might also haue confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, much more I,
Mụ onwe m nwere ike nwee ntụkwasị obi nʼihe ndị a. Nʼihi na e nwee onye chere na ọ pụrụ ịtụkwasị obi ya nʼanụ ahụ, mụ onwe m nwere ụdị ntụkwasị obi ahụ karịa onye ahụ:
5 Circumcised the eight day, of the kinred of Israel, of the tribe of Beniamin, an Ebrewe of the Ebrewes, by the Lawe a Pharise.
e biri m ugwu nʼabalị nke asatọ site na mgbe a mụrụ m, abụ m onye Izrel, sitere nʼagbụrụ Benjamin; abụ m onye Hibru a mụrụ nʼetiti ndị Hibru; dị ka o si metụta iwu abụ m onye Farisii;
6 Concerning zeale, I persecuted ye Church: touching the righteousnesse which is in the Law, I was vnrebukeable.
igosi ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi m, akpagburu m chọọchị, nʼụzọ ezi omume nʼokpuru iwu, abụ m onye zuruoke.
7 But the thinges that were vantage vnto me, the same I counted losse for Christes sake.
Ma ihe ndị a niile m gụrụ dịka ihe bara uru nʼoge gara aga, bụụrụ m ugbu a, ihe na-abaghị uru nʼihi Kraịst.
8 Yea, doubtlesse I thinke all thinges but losse for the excellent knowledge sake of Christ Iesus my Lord, for whome I haue counted all things losse, and doe iudge them to bee dongue, that I might winne Christ,
E, karịa nke a, akpọọla m ihe ndị a niile ihe efu, nʼihi na a pụghị iji ha tụnyere ịdị oke ọnụahịa nke ịmata Kraịst Jisọs, Onyenwe m. Nʼihi ya, etufuola m ihe ndị a niile, gụọ ha dị ka ihe na-abaghị uru, ka m nwee ike rite Kraịst nʼuru.
9 And might bee founde in him, that is, not hauing mine owne righteousnesse, which is of the Lawe, but that which is through the faith of Christ, euen the righteousnesse which is of God through faith,
Ka e nwee ike hụ m nʼime ya. Enweghị m ezi omume nke aka m, nke dabere nʼiwu, kama ọ bụ nke sitere nʼokwukwe na Kraịst, ezi omume si na Chineke nke dabeere nʼokwukwe.
10 That I may know him, and the vertue of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his afflictions, and be made conformable vnto his death,
Naanị ihe m chọrọ bụ ịmara Kraịst na ike dị na mbilite nʼọnwụ ya, na nnwekọ nke isoro ya keta oke nʼahụhụ ya, nakwa ka m yie ya nʼọnwụ.
11 If by any meanes I might attaine vnto the resurrection of the dead:
Ka m si otu a, ruo nʼogo nke inweta mbilite site nʼọnwụ.
12 Not as though I had alreadie attained to it, either were alreadie perfect: but I follow, if that I may comprehend that for whose sake also I am comprehended of Christ Iesus.
Anaghị m ekwu na m etozuola oke, maọbụ nwezuo ihe niile. Ma a na m agbalịsi ike ka m jide ihe ahụ nke Kraịst Jisọs jidere m nʼihi ya.
13 Brethren, I count not my selfe, that I haue attained to it, but one thing I doe: I forget that which is behinde, and endeuour my selfe vnto that which is before,
Ụmụnna m, nʼezie, abụbeghị m ihe ahụ m kwesiri ịbụ. Ma ihe m ji ike m niile na-eme bụ ichefu ihe niile ndị gara aga, na ilekwasị anya nʼihe ahụ m na-agbaso bụ nke dị m nʼihu.
14 And follow hard toward the marke, for the prise of the hie calling of God in Christ Iesus.
Ana m agbasi ọsọ ike iji gbaruo nʼisi, maka irite ihe ahụ a na-agbata nʼọsọ, bụ ọkpụkpọ ịbanye na ndụ eluigwe ahụ nke Chineke kpọrọ m site na Jisọs Kraịst.
15 Let vs therefore as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if yee be otherwise minded, God shall reueile euen the same vnto you.
Ka anyị niile, bụ ndị tozuru oke nʼime mmụọ nwee uche dị otu a. Ọ bụrụkwa na ụfọdụ nʼime unu nwere uche ọzọ dị iche, Chineke ga-ekpughere unu nke a.
16 Neuerthelesse, in that whereunto wee are come, let vs proceede by one rule, that wee may minde one thing.
Ka anyị jidesienụ aka ike naanị nʼihe ahụ anyị nweterela.
17 Brethren, bee followers of mee, and looke on them, which walke so, as yee haue vs for an ensample.
Ụmụnna m, na-agbasonu ụdị ndụ m na-ebi, chọpụtakwanụ ndị ọzọ na-adị ndụ dị ka anyị si adị, mee ha ihe ilere anya unu.
18 For many walke, of whom I haue told you often, and nowe tell you weeping, that they are the enemies of the Crosse of Christ:
Nʼihi na agwala m unu nke a ọtụtụ mgbe, na-achọkwa ịgwa unu ya ọzọ ugbu a. Lee, anya mmiri dị m nʼanya ugbu a m na-ekwu ya sị na e nwere ọtụtụ ndị na-ebi ndụ ha dị ka ha bụ ndị iro obe Kraịst nʼezie.
19 Whose ende is damnation, whose God is their bellie, and whose glorie is to their shame, which minde earthly things.
Ọgwụgwụ ndị dị otu a ga-abụ ịla nʼiyi. Afọ ha bụ chi ha, ndị otuto ha dịkwa nʼihere ha. Ha na-atụkwasị uche naanị nʼihe nke ụwa.
20 But our conuersation is in heauen, from whence also we looke for the Sauiour, euen the Lord Iesus Christ,
Ma ebe obibi anyị dị nʼeluigwe, ebe anyị na-atụsi anya ike na Onye nzọpụta bụ Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst ga-esi bịa.
21 Who shall change our vile bodie, that it may be fashioned like vnto his glorious body, according to the working, whereby hee is able euen to subdue all things vnto him selfe.
Onye ga-agbanwe ahụ anyị dị ala ka ọ dị ka nke ya dị ebube, site nʼike nke mere ka o debe ihe niile nʼokpuru ya.
