Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.
Hatimaye mwalongo bangu mpaluika katika ngwana. nibonali usumbufu twaandikiya kae manen galyagalya. gano mambo gapat attumpea uslama.
2 Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.
Mwiadharin, nabwa mwiadhari na apangakazi abaya mwiadhari baba kana yega yabe.
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
Kwa kuwa twenga ngalikombe. twenga panga ngatamwabada nnongo kwa msaada wa roho. watuipunga ktika yesu kristo, naambao tubileli na ujasili katika yega.
4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
Hatanyo kama angebaa nundu yhwo tmainiwa yaga yeno, nangambaleweza panganyo zaidi.
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
Kwani nainilwe lisoba linensense, labelikwile katika kabila la baisraeli. niwakabila la Benjamini. nimweblania wawaebrania. katika kwitimiza haki ya sheria ya musa, nabile nafarisayo.
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
kwajuudi yango nalitesike kanisa. kwakuitii haki yasheria, nibileli nalawama kisheria.
7 However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.
Lakini katika mambo gote ganigabweni kwafaida yango nenga, nagabalingile kiti takataka sabbu ya kutanga kristo.
8 Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
Kwa kweli nigabalanga mambo gote kati hasra toka na naubara qwakumtanga kristo yesu nnga wango. Kwa ajili yake nilekite mambo goti, nigabalanga kati takataka ili nimpate 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,
Nanibone kane katyeke. ndapu haki yangu binafsi bukana katika sheria bali nibile na haki yelwa yaipatikana imani katika kristo, yabuka kwa nnongo yone msingi katika imani.
10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,
Sasa mbala langa hembe nanguvu ya ufufuo kwake na ushirika wa mateso gake. mbalabadilishwa na kristo katika mfano wakiwa chake.
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
angalau nendaweza banamatu, aini katika ufufuo wawafu.
12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
Kwelili kwamba tayari nigapatike mambogo au kwamba nibile namkamilifu katika mambogo bali nenda kwitahidi iliniweze pate sile sani patikana na kristo yesu.
13 Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before,
Mwolongo bango, ndakiteli kwamba eti njonmwike pata mbambo gano. Bali mbanga jambo limo ndibalya gasogo nitazamia gannonge.
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Niitahidi ikya lengo ilikusudi nipate tuzo la kunani la kimelwa na nnongo katika 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.
Hwabote twatuukolile wokovu tupaswa wacha namna yeno. namaibele yenge afikiria kwamauna yaibile tofauti kuhusu jambo lyolyote, nnongo kae alifaa alyo kwinu.
16 Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let’s walk by the same rule. Let’s be of the same mind.
Hanyo hatuwafikia natuyonde katika mtindo wo.
17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
Mwalongo bangu, munijigene. mwalinge kwa makini balya babaenenda kwa mifano waubile kwa jinsi yitu.
18 For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,
Hambane babaishi nibalo ambabo mara nyingi nitikunia kiyanga na sasa nimakiya kwa molibenge maisha kati adui ba masalaba wa kristo.
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
Mwsho wabe niulibike. kwakua nnongo wabe nindumbo, na kiburi sabe kibile katika oni yabe. bafikiria mambo ga tidunia.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
bali uraia witu ubile mbinguni, ambako twendatarajia mwokozi witu Yesu kristo.
21 who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
Abadilisha yanga yitu dhaifu panga kati yega yake ya utukufu; kwaazo wowolyawolya wa uweza kuidhibitisha ilebe yote.
