Ndị Filipai 3
1 Na nchịkọta okwu ndị a niile, ụmụnna m, na-aṅụrịnụ ọṅụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị. Ike adịghị agwụ m ịgwa unu ihe ndị a. Ọ bakwaara unu uru ịnụ ụdị okwu a mgbe niile.
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed [is] not grievous, but for you [it is] safe.
2 Kpachapụrụnụ onwe unu anya nʼebe ndị mmadụ ọjọọ ahụ yiri nkịta nọ. Ndị ahụ na-eyiwasị ahụ ha.
Beware of dogs, beware of evil-workers, beware of the concision.
3 Nʼihi na ọ bụ anyị bụ ndị ezi obibi ugwu ahụ, ọ bụghị ha, nʼihi na anyị bụ ndị na-efe Chineke site na Mmụọ ya. Anyị na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼime Kraịst Jisọs. Anyị adịghị atụkwasị obi nʼihe e mere nʼanụ ahụ.
For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Mụ onwe m nwere ike nwee ntụkwasị obi nʼihe ndị a. Nʼihi na e nwee onye chere na ọ pụrụ ịtụkwasị obi ya nʼanụ ahụ, mụ onwe m nwere ụdị ntụkwasị obi ahụ karịa onye ahụ:
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath reason to trust in the flesh, I more:
5 e biri m ugwu nʼabalị nke asatọ site na mgbe a mụrụ m, abụ m onye Izrel, sitere nʼagbụrụ Benjamin; abụ m onye Hibru a mụrụ nʼetiti ndị Hibru; dị ka o si metụta iwu abụ m onye Farisii;
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, [of] the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; with respect to the law, a Pharisee;
6 igosi ịnụ ọkụ nʼobi m, akpagburu m chọọchị, nʼụzọ ezi omume nʼokpuru iwu, abụ m onye zuruoke.
Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; with respect to the righteousness which is by the law, blameless.
7 Ma ihe ndị a niile m gụrụ dịka ihe bara uru nʼoge gara aga, bụụrụ m ugbu a, ihe na-abaghị uru nʼihi Kraịst.
But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 E, karịa nke a, akpọọla m ihe ndị a niile ihe efu, nʼihi na a pụghị iji ha tụnyere ịdị oke ọnụahịa nke ịmata Kraịst Jisọs, Onyenwe m. Nʼihi ya, etufuola m ihe ndị a niile, gụọ ha dị ka ihe na-abaghị uru, ka m nwee ike rite Kraịst nʼuru.
Yes doubtless, and I count all things [to be] loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [to be] dung, that I may win Christ,
9 Ka e nwee ike hụ m nʼime ya. Enweghị m ezi omume nke aka m, nke dabere nʼiwu, kama ọ bụ nke sitere nʼokwukwe na Kraịst, ezi omume si na Chineke nke dabeere nʼokwukwe.
And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:
10 Naanị ihe m chọrọ bụ ịmara Kraịst na ike dị na mbilite nʼọnwụ ya, na nnwekọ nke isoro ya keta oke nʼahụhụ ya, nakwa ka m yie ya nʼọnwụ.
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death;
11 Ka m si otu a, ruo nʼogo nke inweta mbilite site nʼọnwụ.
If by any means I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.
12 Anaghị m ekwu na m etozuola oke, maọbụ nwezuo ihe niile. Ma a na m agbalịsi ike ka m jide ihe ahụ nke Kraịst Jisọs jidere m nʼihi ya.
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I pursue, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended by Christ Jesus.
13 Ụmụnna m, nʼezie, abụbeghị m ihe ahụ m kwesiri ịbụ. Ma ihe m ji ike m niile na-eme bụ ichefu ihe niile ndị gara aga, na ilekwasị anya nʼihe ahụ m na-agbaso bụ nke dị m nʼihu.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those things which are before,
14 Ana m agbasi ọsọ ike iji gbaruo nʼisi, maka irite ihe ahụ a na-agbata nʼọsọ, bụ ọkpụkpọ ịbanye na ndụ eluigwe ahụ nke Chineke kpọrọ m site na Jisọs Kraịst.
I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Ka anyị niile, bụ ndị tozuru oke nʼime mmụọ nwee uche dị otu a. Ọ bụrụkwa na ụfọdụ nʼime unu nwere uche ọzọ dị iche, Chineke ga-ekpughere unu nke a.
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye are otherwise minded, God will reveal even this to you.
16 Ka anyị jidesienụ aka ike naanị nʼihe ahụ anyị nweterela.
Nevertheless, to what we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Ụmụnna m, na-agbasonu ụdị ndụ m na-ebi, chọpụtakwanụ ndị ọzọ na-adị ndụ dị ka anyị si adị, mee ha ihe ilere anya unu.
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them who walk so as ye have us for an example.
18 Nʼihi na agwala m unu nke a ọtụtụ mgbe, na-achọkwa ịgwa unu ya ọzọ ugbu a. Lee, anya mmiri dị m nʼanya ugbu a m na-ekwu ya sị na e nwere ọtụtụ ndị na-ebi ndụ ha dị ka ha bụ ndị iro obe Kraịst nʼezie.
(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Ọgwụgwụ ndị dị otu a ga-abụ ịla nʼiyi. Afọ ha bụ chi ha, ndị otuto ha dịkwa nʼihere ha. Ha na-atụkwasị uche naanị nʼihe nke ụwa.
Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 Ma ebe obibi anyị dị nʼeluigwe, ebe anyị na-atụsi anya ike na Onye nzọpụta bụ Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst ga-esi bịa.
For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Onye ga-agbanwe ahụ anyị dị ala ka ọ dị ka nke ya dị ebube, site nʼike nke mere ka o debe ihe niile nʼokpuru ya.
Who will change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like to his glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself.
