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.
Farany, ry rahalahy, mifalia ao amin’ ny Tompo. Tsy manahirana ahy ny manoratra teny averina, fa mahatsara anareo izany.
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
Tandremo ny tenanareo amin’ ny amboa, tandremo ny tenanareo amin’ ny mpanao ratsy, tandremo ny tenanareo amin’ ny voakilema.
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
Fa isika no voafora, izay manompo amin’ ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra ary manao an’ i Kristy Jesosy ho reharehantsika ka tsy mitoky amin’ ny nofo;
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:
kanefa mba manana izay hitokiako amin’ ny nofo ihany aho. Raha misy olona hafa manao hitoky amin’ ny nofo, mainka fa izaho;
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
fa voafora tamin’ ny andro fahavalo aho, avy amin’ ny fototr’ isiraely, dia avy amin’ ny firenen’ i Benjamina; Hebreo sady avy amin’ ny Hebreo aho; araka ny lalàna, dia Fariseo;
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
araka ny zotom-po, dia nanenjika ny fiangonana; araka ny fahamarinana avy amin’ ny lalàna, dia tsy nanan-tsiny.
7 However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
Nefa izay azoko ho tombony dia nataoko fatiantoka kosa noho ny amin’ i Kristy.
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
Eny tokoa, fa ataoko ho fatiantoka avokoa ny zavatra rehetra noho ny fihoaran’ ny hatsaran’ ny fahalalana an’ i Kristy Jesosy Tompoko, Izay niaretako ny fatiantoka ny zavatra rehetra, ka ataoko ho taimboraka ireny mba hahazoako an’ i Kristy;
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;
ary mba ho hita ao aminy aho tsy manana ny fahamarinako, izay avy amin’ ny lalàna, fa izay avy amin’ ny finoana an’ i Kristy, dia ny fahamarinan’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny finoana;
10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
eny, mba ho fantatro Izy sy ny herin’ ny fitsanganany tamin’ ny maty ary ny fiombonana amin’ ny fijaliany ka hampitovina amin’ ny endriky ny fahafatesany,
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
raha mba misy hahatratrarako ny fitsanganana amin’ ny maty.
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.
Tsy toy ny efa nahazo sahady aho, na efa tanteraka sahady; fa miezaka aho hihazona izay nihazonan’ i Kristy Jesosy ahy.
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,
Ry rahalahy, tsy mbola ataoko fa efa nahazo ny tenako; fa zavatra iray loha no ataoko; manadino izay zavatra ao aoriana ka miezaka hanatratra izay zavatra eo aloha,
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
eny, miezaka hanatratra ny marika aho hahazoako ny lokan’ ny fiantsoan’ Andriamanitra any ambony ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy.
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.
Koa aoka isika rehetra izay tanteraka hihevitra izany; fa hasehon’ Andriamanitra aminareo izany, raha sendra manana sain-kafa ianareo.
16 Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.
Kanefa aoka ho amin’ ilay efa azontsika sahady no mbola hizorantsika.
17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
Ry rahalahy, aoka samy hanahaka ahy ianareo, ka diniho izay mandeha tahaka ny anananareo anay ho marika.
18 For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ,
Fa maro no mandeha, izay efa nolazaiko taminareo matetika, sady mbola lazaiko aminareo amin’ ny fitomaniana koa ankehitriny, fa fahavalon’ ny hazo fijalian’ i Kristy ireny;
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
fahaverezana no hiafarany, ny kibony no andriamaniny, ny fahamenarany no voninahiny, fa misaina ny amin’ ny tany izy.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
Fa ny fanjakantsika dia any an-danitra, ary avy any koa no iandrasantsika Mpamonjy, dia Jesosy Kristy Tompo,
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.
Izay hanova ny tenan’ ny fietren-tenantsika ka hitovy endrika amin’ ny tenan’ ny voninahiny, araka ny fiàsan’ ny heriny, izay ahaizany hampanaiky ny zavatra rehetra ho Azy.
