Philippians 3
1 As to the rest, my brothers, rejoice in the LORD; indeed, [it] is not tiresome to me to write to you the same things, and for you [is] sure.
Koulye a, frè m' yo, fè kè nou kontan nan Seyè a. Pou mwen, sa pa fè m' anyen pou m' repete sa m' te voye di nou deja. Men, se nan avantaj nou.
2 Look out for the dogs! Look out for the evil-workers! Look out for the mutilation!
Veye kò nou ak moun k'ap plede fè sa ki mal yo. Veye kò nou ak bann chen sa yo ki vle fè yo sikonsi nou.
3 For we are the circumcision, who are serving God by the Spirit, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and having no trust in flesh,
Si gen moun ki sikonsi tout bon, se pa yo, se nou menm. Paske nou menm, n'ap sèvi Bondye ak Lespri Bondye a, nou kontan dèske n'ap viv ansanm ak Jezikri. Nou pa mete konfyans nou nan sa lèzòm ap fè.
4 though I also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other one thinks to have trust in flesh, I more:
Mwen ta ka mete konfyans mwen nan bagay konsa tou, si m' te vle. Si gen moun ki kwè yo ka mete konfyans yo nan sa lèzòm ap fè, mwen pi ka fè l' pase yo.
5 circumcision on the eighth day! Of the race of Israel! Of the tribe of Benjamin! A Hebrew of Hebrews! According to law—a Pharisee!
Mwen te gen wit jou depi m' te fèt lè yo sikonsi mwen. Mwen se yon moun Izrayèl natif natal, nan branch fanmi Benjamen, pitit pitit Ebè san (100) pou san (100). Sou keksyon lalwa Moyiz la menm, se pa pale: se farizyen mwen te ye.
6 According to zeal—persecuting the Assembly! According to righteousness that is in law—becoming blameless!
Mwen te sitèlman yon patizan fanatik lalwa a, mwen te menm rive pèsekite legliz la. Si yon moun te ka bon paske li fè sa lalwa a mande, enben mwen te bon nèt ale.
7 But what things were gains to me, these I have counted loss, because of the Christ;
Men, si yon lè mwen te konsidere tout bagay sa yo tankou yon garanti, koulye a yo pa vo anyen pou mwen, akòz Kris la.
8 yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I suffered loss of all things, and count them to be refuse, that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him,
Men, se pa sa sèlman. Se tout bagay menm ki pa vo anyen pou mwen, lè m' konpare yo ak gwo avantaj mwen genyen lè m' konnen Jezikri tankou Seyè mwen. Poutèt li, mwen voye tout bagay jete, mwen gade yo tankou fatra pou m' sa gen Kris la,
9 not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith from Christ—the righteousness that is of God by faith,
pou m' ka viv ansanm avè l' nèt ale. Konsa, mwen pa gen pretansyon mwen bon paske mwen fè sa lalwa a mande. Men, Bondye fè m' gras paske mwen mete konfyans mwen nan Kris la. Wi, Bondye fè tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li gras.
10 to know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
Se yon sèl bagay mwen bezwen: se konnen pou m' konnen Kris la, pou m' santi nan mwen pouvwa ki te fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, pou m' soufri ansanm avè l' nan soufrans li yo, pou m' rive mouri tankou li tou,
11 if anyhow I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.
avèk espwa, mwen menm tou m'a gen pou m' leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
12 Not that I already obtained, or have already been perfected, but I pursue, if I also may lay hold of that for which I was also laid hold of by Christ Jesus;
Mwen pa gen pretansyon mwen rive deja kote m' prale a, ni mwen poko fin bon nèt. Men, m'ap kouri sou kous mwen pou m' wè si m' ka mete men sou kote m' dwe rive a, paske Jezikri pou tèt pa l' fin mete men sou mwen deja.
13 brothers, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold [of it], but one thing [I do]—indeed forgetting the things behind, and stretching forth to the things before—
Se vre wi, frè m' yo. Mwen pa kwè mwen deja mete men m' sou kote m' dwe rive a. Men, mwen gen yon sèl bagay pou m' fè, se pou m' bliye tou sa ki dèyè m' pou m' fè jefò pou m' mete men m' sou sa ki devan m' lan.
14 I pursue to the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Konsa, m'ap kouri dwat devan m' sou mak kote m' prale a, pou m' ka jwenn rekonpans Bondye rele m' vin resevwa nan syèl la, gremesi Jezikri.
15 As many, therefore, as [are] perfect—let us think this, and if [in] anything you think otherwise, this also will God reveal to you,
Nou tout ki byen grandi nan lafwa, se menm lide sa a pou n' gen nan tèt nou tou. Men, si gen moun pami nou ki gen lòt lide sou kèk pwen, Bondye va fè yo wè pi klè sou sa.
16 but to what we have attained—walk by the same rule, think the same thing;
Nenpòt jan sa ye, ann mache toujou jan n' te konmanse a.
17 together become my followers, brothers, and observe those thus walking, according as you have us—a pattern;
Nou tout frè m' yo, pran egzanp sou mwen. Kenbe je nou fiske sou moun k'ap swiv egzanp mwen te bay la.
18 for many walk of whom I told you [about] many times—and now also weeping tell—[they are] the enemies of the Cross of the Christ,
Paske, gen anpil moun k'ap viv tankou moun ki pa vle tande pale jan Kris la mouri sou kwa a. Mwen te deja di nou sa, koulye a m'ap di nou sa ankò ak dlo nan je mwen:
19 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and whose glory [is] in their shame, who are minding the things on earth.
Moun sa yo ap rive fin detwi tèt yo. Se vant yo ki bondye yo. Yo pran plezi yo nan bagay ki pou ta fè yo wont pito. Se bagay lemonn ase ki nan tèt yo.
20 For our citizenship is in the heavens, from where we also await a Savior—the Lord Jesus Christ—
Men nou menm, nou se sitwayen peyi ki nan syèl la. Se tann n'ap tann Delivrans nou, Jezikri, Seyè a, ki gen pou desann sot nan syèl la.
21 who will transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of His glory, according to the working of His power, even to subject all things to Himself.
Se li menm k'ap pran pouvwa li genyen pou soumèt tout bagay anba men l' lan, l'ap chanje vye kò tou fèb nou yo pou l' fè yo tounen tankou kò pa l' la ki gen bèl pouvwa.
