Filip 3
1 Koulye a, frè m' yo, fè kè nou kontan nan Seyè a. Pou mwen, sa pa fè m' anyen pou m' repete sa m' te voye di nou deja. Men, se nan avantaj nou.
Concerning other things, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. It is certainly not tiresome for me to write the same things to you, but for you, it is not necessary.
2 Veye kò nou ak moun k'ap plede fè sa ki mal yo. Veye kò nou ak bann chen sa yo ki vle fè yo sikonsi nou.
Beware of dogs; beware of those who work evil; beware of those who are divisive.
3 Si gen moun ki sikonsi tout bon, se pa yo, se nou menm. Paske nou menm, n'ap sèvi Bondye ak Lespri Bondye a, nou kontan dèske n'ap viv ansanm ak Jezikri. Nou pa mete konfyans nou nan sa lèzòm ap fè.
For we are the circumcised, we who serve God in the Spirit and who glory in Christ Jesus, having no confidence in the flesh.
4 Mwen ta ka mete konfyans mwen nan bagay konsa tou, si m' te vle. Si gen moun ki kwè yo ka mete konfyans yo nan sa lèzòm ap fè, mwen pi ka fè l' pase yo.
Nevertheless, I might have confidence also in the flesh, for if anyone else seems to have confidence in the flesh, more so do I.
5 Mwen te gen wit jou depi m' te fèt lè yo sikonsi mwen. Mwen se yon moun Izrayèl natif natal, nan branch fanmi Benjamen, pitit pitit Ebè san (100) pou san (100). Sou keksyon lalwa Moyiz la menm, se pa pale: se farizyen mwen te ye.
For I was circumcised on the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, from the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew among Hebrews. According to the law, I was a Pharisee;
6 Mwen te sitèlman yon patizan fanatik lalwa a, mwen te menm rive pèsekite legliz la. Si yon moun te ka bon paske li fè sa lalwa a mande, enben mwen te bon nèt ale.
according to zeal, I persecuted the Church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, I lived without blame.
7 Men, si yon lè mwen te konsidere tout bagay sa yo tankou yon garanti, koulye a yo pa vo anyen pou mwen, akòz Kris la.
But the things which had been to my gain, the same have I considered a loss, for the sake of Christ.
8 Men, se pa sa sèlman. Se tout bagay menm ki pa vo anyen pou mwen, lè m' konpare yo ak gwo avantaj mwen genyen lè m' konnen Jezikri tankou Seyè mwen. Poutèt li, mwen voye tout bagay jete, mwen gade yo tankou fatra pou m' sa gen Kris la,
Yet truly, I consider everything to be a loss, because of the preeminent knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord, for whose sake I have suffered the loss of everything, considering it all to be like dung, so that I may gain Christ,
9 pou m' ka viv ansanm avè l' nèt ale. Konsa, mwen pa gen pretansyon mwen bon paske mwen fè sa lalwa a mande. Men, Bondye fè m' gras paske mwen mete konfyans mwen nan Kris la. Wi, Bondye fè tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li gras.
and so that you may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, the justice within faith, which is of God.
10 Se yon sèl bagay mwen bezwen: se konnen pou m' konnen Kris la, pou m' santi nan mwen pouvwa ki te fè l' leve soti vivan nan lanmò a, pou m' soufri ansanm avè l' nan soufrans li yo, pou m' rive mouri tankou li tou,
So shall I know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his Passion, having been fashioned according to his death,
11 avèk espwa, mwen menm tou m'a gen pou m' leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
if, by some means, I might attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.
12 Mwen pa gen pretansyon mwen rive deja kote m' prale a, ni mwen poko fin bon nèt. Men, m'ap kouri sou kous mwen pou m' wè si m' ka mete men sou kote m' dwe rive a, paske Jezikri pou tèt pa l' fin mete men sou mwen deja.
It is not as though I have already received this, or were already perfect. But rather I pursue, so that by some means I might attain, that in which I have already been attained by Christ Jesus.
13 Se vre wi, frè m' yo. Mwen pa kwè mwen deja mete men m' sou kote m' dwe rive a. Men, mwen gen yon sèl bagay pou m' fè, se pou m' bliye tou sa ki dèyè m' pou m' fè jefò pou m' mete men m' sou sa ki devan m' lan.
Brothers, I do not consider that I have already attained this. Instead, I do one thing: forgetting those things that are behind, and extending myself toward those things that are ahead,
14 Konsa, m'ap kouri dwat devan m' sou mak kote m' prale a, pou m' ka jwenn rekonpans Bondye rele m' vin resevwa nan syèl la, gremesi Jezikri.
I pursue the destination, the prize of the heavenly calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Nou tout ki byen grandi nan lafwa, se menm lide sa a pou n' gen nan tèt nou tou. Men, si gen moun pami nou ki gen lòt lide sou kèk pwen, Bondye va fè yo wè pi klè sou sa.
Therefore, as many of us as are being perfected, let us agree about this. And if in anything you disagree, God will reveal this to you also.
16 Nenpòt jan sa ye, ann mache toujou jan n' te konmanse a.
Yet truly, whatever point we reach, let us be of the same mind, and let us remain in the same rule.
17 Nou tout frè m' yo, pran egzanp sou mwen. Kenbe je nou fiske sou moun k'ap swiv egzanp mwen te bay la.
Be imitators of me, brothers, and observe those who are walking similarly, just as you have seen by our example.
18 Paske, gen anpil moun k'ap viv tankou moun ki pa vle tande pale jan Kris la mouri sou kwa a. Mwen te deja di nou sa, koulye a m'ap di nou sa ankò ak dlo nan je mwen:
For many persons, about whom I have often told you (and now tell you, weeping, ) are walking as enemies of the cross of Christ.
19 Moun sa yo ap rive fin detwi tèt yo. Se vant yo ki bondye yo. Yo pran plezi yo nan bagay ki pou ta fè yo wont pito. Se bagay lemonn ase ki nan tèt yo.
Their end is destruction; their god is their belly; and their glory is in their shame: for they are immersed in earthly things.
20 Men nou menm, nou se sitwayen peyi ki nan syèl la. Se tann n'ap tann Delivrans nou, Jezikri, Seyè a, ki gen pou desann sot nan syèl la.
But our way of life is in heaven. And from heaven, too, we await the Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ,
21 Se li menm k'ap pran pouvwa li genyen pou soumèt tout bagay anba men l' lan, l'ap chanje vye kò tou fèb nou yo pou l' fè yo tounen tankou kò pa l' la ki gen bèl pouvwa.
who will transform the body of our lowliness, according to the form of the body of his glory, by means of that power by which he is even able to subject all things to himself.
