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.
Pakupedzisira, hama dzangu, farai muna Ishe. Kukunyorerai zvinhu zvimwechetezvo, kwandiri zvirokwazvo hazvinetesi, asi kwamuri zvinokusimbisai.
2 Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.
Chenjererai imbwa, chenjererai vabati vakaipa, chenjererai vekucheka;
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
nokuti isu tiri kudzingiswa, vanonamata Mwari muMweya, tichizvirumbidza muna Kristu Jesu, uye tisingavimbi nenyama;
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:
kunyange ini ndingavawo nechivimbo munyama; kana umwewo achifunga kuvimba nenyama, zvikuru ini;
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
ndakadzingiswa nezuva rerusere, ndiri werudzi rwaIsraeri, wedzinza raBhenjamini, muHebheru weVaHebheru; zviri zvemurairo ndiri muFarisi;
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
maererano nekushingaira ndichishusha kereke; maererano nekururama kuri mumurairo ndisina chandingapomerwa.
7 However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.
Asi zvinhu zvaiva mubairo kwandiri, ndizvo zvandakaverenga kuva kurasikirwa nekuda kwaKristu.
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
Hongu zvirokwazvo, uye ndinoverenga zvinhu zvese kuva kurasikirwa nekuda kwekunakisisa kweruzivo rwaKristu Jesu Ishe wangu, wandakarasikirwa nezvinhu zvese nekuda kwake, ndikazviidza kuva marara, kuti ndiwane Kristu;
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,
uye ndiwanikwe maari, ndisina kururama kwangu kunobva kumurairo, asi kunobudikidzwa nerutendo rwaKristu, kururama kunobva kuna Mwari nerutendo;
10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,
kuti ndimuzive iye, nesimba rekumuka kwake, nekudyidzana kwematambudziko ake, nditodze kufa kwake,
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
kana zvingagoneka ndisvike pakumuka kwevakafa.
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.
Handirevi kuti ndakatochiwana, kana ndakatokwaniswa, asi ndinoteverera, kuti ndichibatewo, chandakabatirwawo naKristu Jesu.
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,
Hama, ini handizviverengi kuti ndachibata, asi ndinoita chinhu chimwe, ndichikanganwa zvinhu zviri shure, ndichinanavira zvinhu zviri mberi,
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
ndinoteverera kuchinangwa, kumubairo wekudana kwekumusoro kwaMwari muna Kristu Jesu.
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.
Naizvozvo isu tese takakwana, ngative nemufungo uyu; uye kana zvimwe mune umwe mufungo, Mwari achakuratidzai kunyange izvi.
16 Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let’s walk by the same rule. Let’s be of the same mind.
Asi pane patasvika, ngatifambe nemurairo iwoyu tifunge chinhu ichochi.
17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
Hama, ivai vatevedzeri vangu pamwe, natsai kutarira avo vanofamba saizvozvo sezvamakava nesu semuenzaniso.
18 For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,
Nokuti vazhinji vanofamba, vandakakuudzai nezvavo kazhinji, nazvino ndinokuudzai kunyange nekuchema, vavengi vemuchinjikwa waKristu;
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
kuguma kwavo kuparadzwa, mwari wavo idumbu ravo, uye kurumbidzwa kuri mukunyadzwa kwavo, vanofunga zvenyika.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Nokuti ubwo hwedu huri kumatenga, uko kwatakataririrawo kuti Muponesi achabva, Ishe Jesu Kristu;
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.
uyo achavandudza muviri wekuninipiswa kwedu, kuti ufananidzwe nemuviri wekubwinya kwake, nesimba iro raanogonawo naro kuisa zvinhu zvese pasi pake.
