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.
Figadoña’e, ry longo: mirebeha amy Talè! Tsy mahatsimboetse ahiko te isokirako indraike, fa fañarovañe anahareo.
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
Itaò o amboao, itaò o mpanao ratio, itaò o mpanao savatse tsieo.
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 itikañe o fisavarañeo, t’ie mitoloñe amy Arofon’ Añahare naho mirenge am’ Iesoà Norizañey, vaho tsy miato-nofotse—
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:
ie ho nanam-piatoako amy nofotsey. He eo ty mihevetse t’ie ro mpiato amy nofotsey, lombolombo’e iraho:
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
sinavatse ami’ty andro faha-valo, foko’ Israele, tarira’ i Benjamina, Hebreo’ o Hebreoo; Fariseo ty amy Hake;
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
nampisoañe o Fivorio an-joton-troke; tsy aman-tahiñe ami’ty fañorihañe Hake.
7 However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
Le ndra inoñ’ inoñe ty ho nitombo’e ho ahiko, nadoko ho sira-an-tane ty amy Norizañey.
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
Tsy izay avao, fe ataoko ho fonga tsy vente’e te ampanahafeñe ami’ty hajabahina’ ty faharendrehañe i Talèko Iesoà Norizañey, aa le hene nifarieko naho nanoeko forompotse, hahazoako i Norizañey
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;
hahatendreke te ama’e, tsy t’ie nivañone’ ty fimanemaneañe Hake, fa ty figahiña’ i Norizañey, ty toe havantañan’ Añahare mioreñe am-patokisañe.
10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
Eka, te ho fohiko re naho ty faozara’ i fivañom-belo’ey naho ty fitraofan-kina amy fijalea’ey, hihambañako amy havilasi’ey,
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
hahatakarako ty fitroarañe an-kavilasy.
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 t’ie nitàkako, toe tsy añon-draho, fe itoañako t’ie handrambe i nandrambesa’ Iesoà Norizañey ahikoy.
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,
O ry longo, tsy t’ie rinambeko. Fe, Amoeako ze amboho ao naho ilozohako takatse o añeo
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
eka imaneako talifitse ty tambem-pikanjiañ’ abon’ Añahare am’ Iesoà Norizañey.
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.
Antao arè hiharo rehake, ze hene matoe aman-tikañe, fa naho hafa ty ereñeren-tro’areo, mbe hampalangesen’ Añahare avao.
16 Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.
Fe soa t’ie hañavelo mañeva o fa nitakàren-tikañeo.
17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
O ry longo, mitraofa ami’ty fañorihañ’ ahy, naho rendreho o mpañavelo am-pitsikombeañe anay.
18 For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ,
Fe maro—ie beteke nitalilieko naho mbe taroñeko an-tañy henaneo—ty mañavelo hoe rafelahi’ i hatae ajale’ i Norizañeiy.
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
Ie hijoroboñe an-karotsahañe ao, ty fisafoa’e ro ndrañahare’e naho ty hameñara’e ro fisengea’e. Mifahatse an-draha an-tane atoy o vetsevetse’ iareoo.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
Boriza’ ty andindìñe añe tika, añe ty itamañe mpandrombake, toe Iesoà Talè Norizañey,
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.
ie ty hañova o sandrin-tikañe mirèkeo, hampihambaña’e amy fañòva’e aman’ engeñey amy haozara’e hampiambane ze he’e ama’ey.
