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.
As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; the same things to write to you to me indeed is not tiresome, and for you [is] sure;
2 Mwĩmenyagĩrĩrei andũ acio mahaana ta magui, o acio mekaga maũndũ mooru, na arĩa metemengaga mĩĩrĩ.
look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the concision;
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 by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust,
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.
though I also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I 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;
circumcision on the eighth day! of the race of Israel! of the tribe of Benjamin! a Hebrew of Hebrews! according to 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.
according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless!
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 what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss;
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, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,
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.
not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith of Christ — the righteousness that is of God by the 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,
to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
11 nĩguo kũngĩhoteka, ngaariũkio nyume kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.
if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of 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 that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the 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,
brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing — the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth —
14 ngerutanagĩria gũthiĩ ndorete na mbere nĩguo hootane heo kĩheo kĩrĩa Ngai aheanaga, na nĩkĩo aanjĩtĩire thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ atĩ nĩguo thiĩ igũrũ.
to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling 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.
As many, therefore, as [are] perfect — let us think this, and if [in] anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,
16 No rĩrĩ, rekei tũtũũre kũringana na maũndũ marĩa tũrĩkĩtie kũgĩa namo.
but to what we have come — by the same rule walk, the same thing think;
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.
become followers together of me, brethren, and observe those thus walking, according as ye have us — a pattern;
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 many walk of whom many times I told you — and now also weeping tell — the enemies of the cross of the 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 belly, and whose glory [is] in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.
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 citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we await — 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.
who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power, even to subject to himself the all things.
