Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed [is] not grievous, but for you [it is] safe.
Mpo na kosukisa, bandeko na ngai, bosepelaka kati na Nkolo! Ezali likambo ya pasi te mpo na ngai kokomela bino lisusu makambo oyo nakomelaki bino liboso, mpe yango ezali mpo na bolamu na bino.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
Bosala keba na bambwa, na bato mabe mpe na bato oyo batindikaka bino na kokatisa ngenga!
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
Biso nde tozali bato oyo bakatisa ngenga na solo, pamba te tosambelaka Nzambe na nzela ya Molimo na Ye, tomikumisaka kati na Yesu-Klisto mpe totiaka elikya na biso na nzoto te,
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
atako ngai mpe nakoki na ngai kotia elikya na nzoto. Soki moto moko akanisi ete akoki kotia elikya na nzoto, asengeli koyeba ete ngai nakoki kutu kotia elikya yango koleka ye;
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;
pamba te bakatisaki ngai ngenga na mokolo ya mwambe, nazali penza moto ya Isalaele kati na libota ya Benjame, mpe nazali Mo-Ebre oyo abotama na baboti oyo bazali mpe Ba-Ebre. Mpo na oyo etali Mibeko, nazalaki Mofarizeo;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
mpo na oyo etali molende, nanyokolaki Lingomba; mpo na oyo etali bosembo oyo bato balukaka na nzela ya Mibeko, nazalaki moto azanga pamela.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Kasi makambo oyo nazalaki komona ete ezali na tina mpo na ngai, nakomi sik’oyo komona yango pamba mpo na Klisto.
8 Yea 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,
Kaka yango te, nazali kutu komona makambo nyonso lokola eloko pamba likolo ya bolamu oyo eleki monene: koyeba Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na ngai. Ezali mpo na Ye nde ngai nandimaki kobungisa makambo wana nyonso mpe nazali komona yango lokola bisanza, mpo ete nakoka kozwa Klisto
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
mpe bakuta ngai kati na Ye. Nakomi moto ya sembo mpo ete nandimeli Klisto: Nzambe akomisi ngai moto ya sembo na nzela ya kondima. Ezali lisusu te na nzela ya kotosa Mibeko ndenge nazalaki kokanisa kala.
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Posa monene ya motema na ngai ezali: koyeba Klisto, koyeba nguya ya lisekwa na Ye, kosangana na pasi na Ye, kokokana na Ye kati na kufa na Ye
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
na elikya ete ngai mpe nakosekwa kati na bakufi.
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.
Nalingi koloba te ete nasili kozwa biloko oyo nyonso to mpe nasili kokoma moto ya kokoka, kasi nazali nde kopota mbangu mpo na kozwa yango, pamba te Yesu-Klisto asila mpe kozwa ngai.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Bandeko, nazali kokanisa te ete nasili kozwa yango; kasi nasalaka likambo moko: nabosanaka makambo nyonso oyo esili koleka, mpe namipesaka mpo na makambo oyo ezali liboso.
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Boye nazali kopota mbangu kino nakoma na suka mpo na kozwa mbano oyo Nzambe abenga ngai mpo na yango wuta na Likolo kati na Yesu-Klisto.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
Biso nyonso oyo tokola na Molimo, tosengeli kokanisa ndenge wana. Mpe soki ezali na likambo oyo na tina na yango bozali kokanisa ndenge mosusu, Nzambe akososolisa bino.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Nzokande, na esika oyo tosili kokoma, totambola nzela moko.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
Bandeko, bino nyonso bolanda ndakisa na ngai mpe bomekola ezaleli ya bato oyo bazali kotambola lokola biso.
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:
Pamba te ndenge nazalaki koyebisa bino yango mbala na mbala mpe, sik’oyo, nazali lisusu koyebisa bino yango na kolela, bato mingi bazali kotambola lokola banguna ya ekulusu ya Klisto.
19 Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
Suka na bango ezali libebi; pamba te nzambe na bango ezali libumu na bango, lokumu na bango ezali kati na makambo oyo eyokisaka bango soni, mpe makanisi na bango elukaka kaka biloko ya mokili.
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Kasi biso, mboka na biso ezali kati na Likolo, mpe tozali kozela na posa makasi Mobikisi na biso, Nkolo Yesu-Klisto, oyo akowuta na Likolo.
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Ye nde akobongola nzoto na biso ya putulu mpo na kokomisa yango nzoto ya nkembo, na nzela ya nguya na Ye ya kotia biloko nyonso na se ya bokonzi na Ye.
