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.
Ebisigaddeyo, baganda bange, musanyukirenga mu Mukama waffe. Okuddamu ebyo bye nnabawandiikira edda tekunkooya kubanga kyongera kubanyweza.
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
Mwekuumenga embwa, era mwekuumenga ab’empisa embi, era mwekuumenga abakomola omubiri.
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have 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 myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet 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 nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
Kubanga nze nakomolebwa ku lunaku olw’omunaana. Ndi Muyisirayiri, ow’omu kika kya Benyamini, Omwebbulaniya wawu, era mu mateeka ndi Mufalisaayo,
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
eyanyiikira okuyigganya ekkanisa, eyali omutuukirivu mu mateeka, nga siriiko kya kunenyezebwa.
7 However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
Naye ebyo byonna ebyali omugabo gye ndi, nabiraba nga butaliimu.
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
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 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;
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 power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
Njagala okussa ekimu mu bibonoobono bye, nga mmufaanana mu kufa kwe, mmumanye era ntegeere amaanyi g’okuzuukira kwe,
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
nga nsuubira nga nange ndizuukira.
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.
Sigamba nti mmaze okufuna oba nti mmaze okutuukirira, wabula nfuba okufuna ekyo Kristo Yesu kye yagenderera nfune.
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,
Abooluganda, mmanyi nti sinnakifuna, naye kye nkola kwe kwerabira ebyo ebiri emabega ne nduubirira ebyo ebiri mu maaso.
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Nduubirira okutuuka awawakanirwa awali empeera ey’okuyita kwa Katonda okwa waggulu mu Kristo Yesu.
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.
Noolwekyo ffe ffenna abatuukiridde ekyo kye tusaana okulowoozanga, naye obanga mulowooza bulala, na kino Katonda alikibabikkulira.
16 Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.
Naye ka tunywerere ku ekyo kye tutuuseeko.
17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
Kale, abooluganda, mwegatte n’abo abangoberera era mugobererenga abo abatambulira mu ebyo bye twabalaga.
18 For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as 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 destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
era ekibalindiridde kwe kuzikirira, kubanga okulya kubafuukidde katonda waabwe, ebyo ebyandibakwasizza ensonyi kye kitiibwa kyabwe era balowooza bintu bya mu nsi.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
Kyokka ffe obutaka bwaffe buli mu ggulu, era Omulokozi, Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, gye tumulindirira okuva.
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.
Kale bw’alijja emibiri gyaffe gino eminafu egifa aligifuula ng’ogugwe ogw’ekitiibwa, ng’akozesa amaanyi okussa ebintu byonna mu buyinza bwe.
