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.
As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not wearisome, but to you it is 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 evil workers, beware of the concision.
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 circumcision, who in spirit serve God; and glory in Christ Jesus, not having 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.
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more,
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.
Being circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; according to the law, 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, persecuting the church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, conversing 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 that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for 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,
Furthermore I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as dung, 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 may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God, justice in faith:
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,
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death,
11 avèk espwa, mwen menm tou m'a gen pou m' leve soti vivan nan lanmò.
If by any means I may 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.
Not as though I has already attained, or were already perfect; but I follow after, if I may by any means apprehend, wherein I am also apprehended 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.
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended. But one thing I do: forgetting the things that are behind, and stretching forth myself to those that are before,
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 press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation 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.
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded; and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, this also God will reveal to you.
16 Nenpòt jan sa ye, ann mache toujou jan n' te konmanse a.
Nevertheless whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind, let us also continue 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 ye followers of me, brethren, and observe them who walk so as you have our model.
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 walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping), that they are 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.
Whose end is destruction; whose God is their belly; and whose glory is in their shame; who mind 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 conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, 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 reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself.
