Afilipi 3
1 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.
For the rest, my brothers, be glad in the Lord. Writing the same things to you is no trouble to me, and for you it is safe.
2 Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei andũ acio mahaana ta magui, o acio mekaga maũndũ mooru, na arĩa metemengaga mĩĩrĩ.
Be on the watch against dogs, against the workers of evil, against those of the circumcision:
3 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,
For we are the circumcision, who give worship to God and have glory in Jesus Christ, and have no faith in the flesh:
4 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.
Even though I myself might have faith in the flesh: if any other man has reason to have faith in the flesh, I have more:
5 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;
Being given circumcision on the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in relation to the law, a Pharisee:
6 na ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ kĩyo-rĩ, ndaatũire nyariiraga kanitha; na ha ũhoro wa ũthingu ũrĩa uumanaga na watho-rĩ, ndiarĩ na ũcuuke.
In bitter hate I was cruel to the church; I kept all the righteousness of the law to the last detail.
7 No rĩrĩ, maũndũ mothe marĩa ndaatuaga atĩ maarĩ na uumithio kũrĩ niĩ-rĩ, rĩu ndĩmonaga marĩ ma tũhũ nĩ ũndũ wa kũgĩa na Kristũ.
But those things which were profit to me, I gave up for Christ.
8 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,
Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,
9 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.
And be seen in him, not having my righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 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,
That I may have knowledge of him, and of the power of his coming back from the dead, and a part with him in his pains, becoming like him in his death;
11 nĩguo kũngĩhoteka, ngaariũkio nyume kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.
If in any way I may have the reward of life from the dead.
12 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.
Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.
13 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,
Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,
14 ngerutanagĩria gũthiĩ ndorete na mbere nĩguo hootane heo kĩheo kĩrĩa Ngai aheanaga, na nĩkĩo aanjĩtĩire thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ atĩ nĩguo thiĩ igũrũ.
I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.
15 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.
Then let us all, who have come to full growth, be of this mind: and if in anything you are of a different mind, even this will God make clear to you:
16 No rĩrĩ, rekei tũtũũre kũringana na maũndũ marĩa tũrĩkĩtie kũgĩa namo.
Only, as far as we have got, let us be guided by the same rule.
17 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.
Brothers, take me as your example, and take note of those who are walking after the example we have given.
18 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.
For there are those, of whom I have given you word before, and do so now with sorrow, who are haters of the cross of Christ;
19 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.
Whose end is destruction, whose god is the stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, whose minds are fixed on the things of the earth.
20 No rĩrĩ, bũrũri ũrĩa tũrĩ aguo kĩũmbe nĩ kũũrĩa igũrũ. Na ithuĩ nĩtwetagĩrĩra Mũhonokia ũrĩa ũkoima kũu, na nĩwe Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ,
For our country is in heaven; from where the Saviour for whom we are waiting will come, even the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 ũrĩa ũkaagarũra mĩĩrĩ ĩno iitũ mĩhinyaru nĩgeetha ĩhaananio na mwĩrĩ wake ũcio ũrĩ riiri, nĩ ũndũ wa hinya ũrĩa ũmũhotithagia gwatha maũndũ mothe.
By whom this poor body of ours will be changed into the image of the body of his glory, in the measure of the working by which he is able to put all things under himself.
