< Philippians 3 >
1 For the rest, my brethren—rejoice in the Lord. To be writing, the same things, unto you, to me, is not irksome, while, for you, is safe: —
Ũhoro wa kũrĩkĩrĩria ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ nĩ atĩrĩ, kenagai thĩinĩ wa Mwathani! Ha ũhoro wa gũcookera rĩngĩ maũndũ o marĩa ndanamwandĩkĩra-rĩ, ũcio ti ũhoro wa kũũnogia, tondũ harĩ inyuĩ nĩ ũhoro wa kũmũtiirĩrĩra.
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of mischievous workers, beware of the mutilation;
Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei andũ acio mahaana ta magui, o acio mekaga maũndũ mooru, na arĩa metemengaga mĩĩrĩ.
3 For, we, are the circumcision, who in the Spirit of God, are doing divine service, and are boasting in Christ Jesus, and, not in flesh, having confidence, —
Nĩgũkorwo ithuĩ nĩ ithuĩ tũruĩte kũna, ithuĩ arĩa tũhooyaga na Roho wa Ngai, o ithuĩ arĩa twĩrahaga thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, naguo mwĩhoko witũ tũtiũigaga thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ,
4 Although, indeed, I, might have confidence even in flesh. If any other thinketh to have confidence in flesh, I, more: —
o na gũtuĩka o na niĩ mwene ingĩenda-rĩ, ndĩ na itũmi cia gũtũma ndĩĩhokage ũhoro wa mwĩrĩ. Kũngĩkorwo kũrĩ mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe wĩciiragia atĩ arĩ na itũmi cia kũgĩa na mwĩhoko thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ, niĩ nĩndĩmũkĩrĩtie.
5 Circumcised, the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, —regarding law, a Pharisee,
Nĩgũkorwo niĩ ndaruithirio ndĩ na ũkũrũ wa thikũ inyanya, na ndĩ wa rũciaro rwa andũ a Isiraeli, na wa mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini, na ndĩ Mũhibirania waciarĩtwo nĩ Ahibirania. Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ watho-rĩ, ndĩ Mũfarisai;
6 Regarding zeal, persecuting the assembly, regarding the righteousness that is in law, having become blameless.
na ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ kĩyo-rĩ, ndaatũire nyariiraga kanitha; na ha ũhoro wa ũthingu ũrĩa uumanaga na watho-rĩ, ndiarĩ na ũcuuke.
7 But, whatever things, unto me, were gain, the same, have I accounted, for the Christ’s sake, loss;
No rĩrĩ, maũndũ mothe marĩa ndaatuaga atĩ maarĩ na uumithio kũrĩ niĩ-rĩ, rĩu ndĩmonaga marĩ ma tũhũ nĩ ũndũ wa kũgĩa na Kristũ.
8 Yea, doubtless! and I account all things to be, loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom, the loss, of all things, have I suffered, and do account them refuse, in order that, Christ, I may win,
Makĩria ma ũguo-rĩ, maũndũ mothe ndĩmatuaga nĩ ma tũhũ ndamagerekania na ũmenyo ũrĩa ũkĩrĩte maũndũ mothe ũrĩa uumanĩte na kũmenya Kristũ Jesũ Mwathani wakwa. Nĩ ũndũ wake-rĩ, niĩ ndoorirwo nĩ indo ciothe, na niĩ ngĩcitua o ta mahuti ma gũteo, nĩgeetha ndĩgĩĩre na Kristũ,
9 And be found in him—not having a righteousness of my own, that which is by law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is, of God, upon my faith, —
na ngoragwo ndĩ thĩinĩ wake, itarĩ na ũthingu wakwa mwene ũrĩa uumanaga na watho, no ũkorwo arĩ ũthingu ũrĩa uumanaga na gwĩtĩkia Kristũ; ũguo nĩ kuuga, ũthingu ũrĩa uumaga kũrĩ Ngai, na wonekaga na ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia.
10 To get to know him, and the power of his resurrection and fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death, —
Ũndũ ũrĩa niĩ ngwenda-rĩ, nĩ kũmenya Kristũ, na menye hinya wa kũriũka gwake, na ngwatanĩre nake mĩnyamaro-inĩ yake, na haanane nake ũhoro-inĩ wake wa gũkua,
11 If by any means I may advance to the earlier resurrection, which is from among the dead:
nĩguo kũngĩhoteka, ngaariũkio nyume kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.
12 Not that I have, already, received, or have, already, reached perfection, but I am pressing on—if I may even lay hold of that for which I have also been laid hold of by Christ [Jesus]: —
Ndiroiga atĩ nĩndĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra maũndũ macio mothe, o na kana ngarĩkia gũtuĩka mwagĩrĩru kũna, no nĩndĩĩrutanagĩria na kĩyo nĩgeetha ndĩnyiitĩre o ũndũ ũrĩa ndanyiitĩirwo nĩ Kristũ Jesũ.
13 Brethren! I, as to myself, reckon that I have, not yet, laid hold; one thing, however, —the things behind, forgetting, and, unto the things before, eagerly reaching out,
Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ndigũtua atĩ niĩ mwene nĩndĩkĩtie kwĩnyiitĩra ũndũ ũcio. No rĩrĩ, ũndũ ũrĩa njĩkaga no ũmwe: Nĩkũriganĩrwo ndiganagĩrwo nĩ maũndũ marĩa mahĩtũku, na ngerutanĩria mũno gũkinyĩra maũndũ marĩa marĩ mbere,
14 With the goal in view, I press on for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.
ngerutanagĩria gũthiĩ ndorete na mbere nĩguo hootane heo kĩheo kĩrĩa Ngai aheanaga, na nĩkĩo aanjĩtĩire thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ atĩ nĩguo thiĩ igũrũ.
15 As many, therefore, as are full-grown, let, this, be our resolve; and, if, somewhat differently, ye are resolved, this, also, shall, God, unto you reveal.
Ithuothe arĩa tũrĩ andũ agima-rĩ, twagĩrĩirwo nĩtũtũũre twĩciiragia o ũguo. Na hangĩkorwo nĩ harĩ andũ marĩ na meciiria mangĩ-rĩ, o na hau Ngai nĩarĩmũguũrĩria.
16 Nevertheless, whereunto we have advanced, in the same rank, stepping along.
No rĩrĩ, rekei tũtũũre kũringana na maũndũ marĩa tũrĩkĩtie kũgĩa namo.
17 Imitators together of me, become ye, brethren, and keep an eye on them who, thus, are walking, —even as ye have, us, for, an ensample.
Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, nyiitanĩrai na arĩa angĩ ũhoro-inĩ wa kwĩgerekania na niĩ, na ningĩ mũbaarage wega andũ arĩa matũũraga na mũtũũrĩre o ũrĩa twamuonereirie.
18 For, many, are walking—of whom I have often been telling you, and, now, even weeping, am telling, —the enemies of the cross of the Christ;
Nĩgũkorwo, o ta ũrĩa ndanamwĩra kaingĩ mbere ĩyo, na o na rĩu no ngũcookera rĩngĩ ũhoro ũcio ndĩ na maithori, andũ aingĩ matũũraga marĩ thũ cia mũtharaba wa Kristũ.
19 Whose, end, is destruction, whose, God, is the belly, and [whose], glory, is in their shame, who, upon the earthly things, are resolved.
Andũ acio-rĩ, kũrigĩrĩria kwao nĩ mwanangĩko, ngai yao nĩ nda ciao, namo maũndũ ma kũmaconora nĩmo riiri wao. Ningĩ meciiragia o maũndũ ma gũkũ thĩ.
20 For, our citizenship, in the heavens, hath its rise; wherefore, a Saviour also, do we ardently await, —The Lord Jesus Christ, —
No rĩrĩ, bũrũri ũrĩa tũrĩ aguo kĩũmbe nĩ kũũrĩa igũrũ. Na ithuĩ nĩtwetagĩrĩra Mũhonokia ũrĩa ũkoima kũu, na nĩwe Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ,
21 Who will transfigure our humbled body, into conformity with his glorified body, according to the energy wherewith he is able even to subdue, unto himself, all things.
ũrĩa ũkaagarũra mĩĩrĩ ĩno iitũ mĩhinyaru nĩgeetha ĩhaananio na mwĩrĩ wake ũcio ũrĩ riiri, nĩ ũndũ wa hinya ũrĩa ũmũhotithagia gwatha maũndũ mothe.
