Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me, and is a safeguard for you.
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 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
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 worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the 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 myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet 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 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the 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 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found 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 However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for 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 More than that, I count all things to be a loss compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
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 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from 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 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming 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 by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
avèk espwa, mwen menm tou m'a gen pou m' leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken 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 regard myself as having taken hold of it, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forward to the things which are ahead,
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 press on toward the goal 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 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that 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 Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.
Nenpòt jan sa ye, ann mache toujou jan n' te konmanse a.
17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
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, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of 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 think about earthly things.
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 heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for 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 our lowly body into the likeness of his glorious body, according to the power by which he is able 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.
