Philippians 3
1 MOREOVER, brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not irksome, but is safe for you.
Ebisigaddeyo, baganda bange, musanyukirenga mu Mukama waffe. Okuddamu ebyo bye nnabawandiikira edda tekunkooya kubanga kyongera kubanyweza.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of the malicious labourers, beware of the concision.
Mwekuumenga embwa, era mwekuumenga ab’empisa embi, era mwekuumenga abakomola omubiri.
3 For we are the circumcision, who serve God in spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.
Kubanga ffe bakomole, abasinza Katonda ng’Omwoyo bw’atuluŋŋamya, era twenyumiririza mu Kristo Yesu so tetwesiga mubiri.
4 Though I too might have confidence in the flesh; if any other man thinks that he may have confidence in the flesh, I may claim more:
Ne bwe kwandibadde okwesiga omubiri, omuntu omulala yenna bw’alowooza okuba n’obwesige mu mubiri, nze musinga.
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews;
Kubanga nze nakomolebwa ku lunaku olw’omunaana. Ndi Muyisirayiri, ow’omu kika kya Benyamini, Omwebbulaniya wawu, era mu mateeka ndi Mufalisaayo,
6 respecting the law, a Pharisee; with regard to zeal, persecuting the church; as touching the righteousness which is by the law, blameless.
eyanyiikira okuyigganya ekkanisa, eyali omutuukirivu mu mateeka, nga siriiko kya kunenyezebwa.
7 But what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
Naye ebyo byonna ebyali omugabo gye ndi, nabiraba nga butaliimu.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the transcendently excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as offals of ordure, that I may gain Christ,
Naye okusinga byonna, byonna mbiraba ng’okufiirwa, kubanga okutegeera Kristo Yesu Mukama wange, kusinga ebirala byonna. Olwa Kristo nafiirwa ebintu byonna, era mbiraba ng’ebisasiro, ndyoke ngobolole Kristo,
9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is by the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
ndabikire mu ye nga sirina butuukirivu bwange ku bwange obuva mu kukwata amateeka, wabula nga nnina obutuukirivu obuva mu kukkiriza Kristo, era obuva eri Katonda obwesigamye ku kukkiriza.
10 that I may know him, and the virtue of his resurrection, and communion with his sufferings, being conformed to his death;
Njagala okussa ekimu mu bibonoobono bye, nga mmufaanana mu kufa kwe, mmumanye era ntegeere amaanyi g’okuzuukira kwe,
11 if haply I may attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
nga nsuubira nga nange ndizuukira.
12 Not that I have already attained, or am now perfect: but I pursue, that I may overtake that for which also by his apprehension of me I am destined by Christ Jesus.
Sigamba nti mmaze okufuna oba nti mmaze okutuukirira, wabula nfuba okufuna ekyo Kristo Yesu kye yagenderera nfune.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have overtaken it; but this one object I pursue, forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching out to those which are before,
Abooluganda, mmanyi nti sinnakifuna, naye kye nkola kwe kwerabira ebyo ebiri emabega ne nduubirira ebyo ebiri mu maaso.
14 I press towards the mark for the prize of the divine calling from on high in Christ Jesus.
Nduubirira okutuuka awawakanirwa awali empeera ey’okuyita kwa Katonda okwa waggulu mu Kristo Yesu.
15 Let as many of us therefore as are perfect, be thus minded: and if ye entertain any other sentiment, God also will unveil this unto you.
Noolwekyo ffe ffenna abatuukiridde ekyo kye tusaana okulowoozanga, naye obanga mulowooza bulala, na kino Katonda alikibabikkulira.
16 Nevertheless, so far as we have advanced, be it our care to walk by the same rule, to mind the same thing.
Naye ka tunywerere ku ekyo kye tutuuseeko.
17 Be ye imitators, brethren, of me, and eye attentively those who walk so as ye have us for an example.
Kale, abooluganda, mwegatte n’abo abangoberera era mugobererenga abo abatambulira mu ebyo bye twabalaga.
18 For many walk, whom I have often mentioned to you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Ekyo newaakubadde nkibabuulidde emirundi emingi, nkiddamu nga nkaaba n’amaziga, nti waliwo abalabe b’omusaalaba gwa Kristo,
19 whose end is perdition, whose God is their belly, and their glory in their shame, whose minds are occupied with earthly things.
era ekibalindiridde kwe kuzikirira, kubanga okulya kubafuukidde katonda waabwe, ebyo ebyandibakwasizza ensonyi kye kitiibwa kyabwe era balowooza bintu bya mu nsi.
20 But our conversation is in heaven as its citizens, from whence also we are expecting the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Kyokka ffe obutaka bwaffe buli mu ggulu, era Omulokozi, Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, gye tumulindirira okuva.
21 who shall transform our body of humiliation, that it may be conformed to his body of glory, according to the effectual working of him who is able to subdue even all things to himself.
Kale bw’alijja emibiri gyaffe gino eminafu egifa aligifuula ng’ogugwe ogw’ekitiibwa, ng’akozesa amaanyi okussa ebintu byonna mu buyinza bwe.
