Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
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 dogs, beware of evil 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 spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have 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 have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
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 eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
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 zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
igosi ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi m, akpagburu m chọọchị, nʼụzọ ezi omume nʼokpuru iwu, abụ m onye zuruoke.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
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 Yes doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win 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 be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by 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 power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to 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 means I might attain to the resurrection of the dead.
Ka m si otu a, ruo nʼogo nke inweta mbilite site nʼọnwụ.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
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 Brothers, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth to those things which are 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 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
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 us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this to 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 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Ka anyị jidesienụ aka ike naanị nʼihe ahụ anyị nweterela.
17 Brothers, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as you have us 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 walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross 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 end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind 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 For our conversation is in heaven; from where also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus 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 body, that it may be fashioned like to his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things to himself.
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.
