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.
Mme le fa go ka diregang, ditsala tse di rategang, itumeleng mo Moreneng. Ga nke ke lapisega go lo bolelela se, ebile go lo siametse go se utlwa gangwe le gape.
2 Beware of dogges: beware of euil workers: beware of the concision.
Itlhokomeleng mo bathong ba ba bosula, bao, dintsa tse di diphatsa, ke ba bitsa jalo, ba ba reng lo tshwanetse go rupisiwa gore lo bolokwe.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirite, and reioyce in Christ Iesus, and haue no confidence in the flesh:
Gonne ga se go segwa ga mebele ya rona mo go reirang bana ba Modimo; ke go mo obamela ka mewa ya rona. E ke yone “thupiso” ya boammaaruri. Rona Bakeresete re galalela mo go se Keresete Jesu a se re diretseng ebile re lemoga gore ga re kake ra ithusa go ipoloka.
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,
Legale fa mongwe a ka bo a kile a nna le mabaka a gore o ka ipoloka, e ka bo e le nna. Fa ba bangwe ba ne ba ka bolokwa ke se ba leng sone, tota ke ka bo ke ipolokile.
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.
Gonne ke rupisitswe mo thupisong ya Sejuta fa ke le malatsi a ferabobedi, ke tsaletswe mo lelapeng la Sejuta tota mo lotsong lwa ga Benjamini. Jalo ke ne ke le Mojuta wa Bajuta tota! Mo gongwe ke eng? ke ne ke le leloko la Bafarasai ba ba neng ba le kutlo mo molaong mongwe le mongwe le ngwao ya Sejuta.
6 Concerning zeale, I persecuted ye Church: touching the righteousnesse which is in the Law, I was vnrebukeable.
Mme a go boammaruri? Ee, ke ne ke bogisa phuthego thata; mme ke rata go ikobela molao mongwe le mongwe wa Sejuta go fitlhelela kwa bofelong.
7 But the thinges that were vantage vnto me, the same I counted losse for Christes sake.
Mme dilo tse tsotlhe tse ke kileng ka gopola gore di siame thata, jaanong ke di latlhile gore ke beye tshepo le tsholofelo ya me mo go Keresete a le esi.
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,
Ee, sengwe le sengwe ga se na mosola fa se tshwantshanngwa le poelo e e senang theko ya go itse Morena wa me Jesu Keresete. Ke beetse tsotlhe fa thoko, ke di bona e se sepe, gore ke tle ke nne le Keresete,
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,
ke nne mongwe fela nae, ke sa tlhole ke bona gore ke tshwanetse go bolokwa ka go siama thata kgotsa go obamela melao ya Modimo, fa e se fela ka go ikanya Keresete go mpoloka; gonne tsela ya Modimo ya go re dira gore re nne tshiamo nao e eme mo tumelong, re beile mo go Keresete a le nosi.
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,
Mme jaanong ke tlogetse sengwe le sengwe, ke bonye e le yone fela tsela ya go itse Keresete le go lemoga nonofo e kgolo e e mo rudisitseng, le go bona gore go boga le go swa nae go rayang.
11 If by any meanes I might attaine vnto the resurrection of the dead:
Gore e tle e re kgotsa ka mokgwa mongwe ke tle ke nne mo botshelong jo bosha jwa ba ba tshedileng mo baswing.
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.
Ga ke reye gore ke itekanetse. Ga ke ise ke ithute tsotlhe tse ke tshwanetseng go di ithuta, mme ke lekela pele go fitlhelela letsatsi le ke tlaa bong ke le se Keresete a se mpoloketseng le se o batlang ke nna sone.
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,
Nnyaa, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, ga ke ise ke nne gotlhe mo ke tshwanetseng go nna gone, mme ke leka ka natla yotlhe go tlhokomela selo se le sengwe fela se: go lebala tse di kwa morago ke lebelela tse di kwa pele.
14 And follow hard toward the marke, for the prise of the hie calling of God in Christ Iesus.
Ke gagamaletse go fitlha kwa bokhutlong jwa lobelo le go amogela sekgele se Modimo o se re biletsang kwa legodimong ka ntlha ya se Jesu Keresete a se re diretseng.
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.
Ke solofela gore lotlhe ba lo leng Bakeresete ba ba godileng mo tumelong lo tlaa nna maikutlo a le mangwe le nna mo mabakeng one a, mme fa re sa dumalane mo ntlheng nngwe ke dumela gore Modimo o tlaa lo e tlhalosetsa sentle,
16 Neuerthelesse, in that whereunto wee are come, let vs proceede by one rule, that wee may minde one thing.
fa lo ikobela boammaaruri jo lo nang najo.
17 Brethren, bee followers of mee, and looke on them, which walke so, as yee haue vs for an ensample.
Bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, lo nne baetsi ba me mme lo eleng tlhoko ba ba tshelang ka fa sekaong sa me.
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:
Gonne ke lo boleletse gantsi, mme ke bua gape jaanong ka dikeledi mo matlhong a me, go na le ba le bantsi ba ba tsamayang mo tseleng ya Sekeresete mme tota e le baba ba mokgoro wa ga Keresete.
19 Whose ende is damnation, whose God is their bellie, and whose glorie is to their shame, which minde earthly things.
Bokamoso jwa bone ke tatlhego e e sa khutleng, gonne modimo wa bone ke mpa ya bone: ba ipelafatsa ka se se tshwanetseng go tlhabisa ditlhong; mme se ba akanyang kaga sone fela ke botshelo jwa lefatshe leno.
20 But our conuersation is in heauen, from whence also we looke for the Sauiour, euen the Lord Iesus Christ,
Mme legae la rona le kwa legodimong, kwa Mmoloki wa rona Morena Jesu Keresete a leng teng; mme ebile re lebeletse go boa ga gagwe a tswa teng koo.
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.
E tlaa re fa a tla o tlaa tsaya mebele e e swang e ya rona, a e fetolele mo mebeleng e e galalelang jaaka wa gagwe, a dirisa nonofo e le nngwe fela e o tlaa e dirisang go tlhabana le sengwe le sengwe gongwe le gongwe.
