Wafilipi 3
1 Hatimaye, bhalongobhangu muhobholei kup'etela Bwana. Nibhona lepi usumbufu kubhayandikila kabhele maneno ghala ghala. Mambo agha ghakabha salimisha.
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me, and is a safeguard for you.
2 Mujilangayi ni mabhwa. Mujilangai ni bhatendakazi bhabaya. Mujilangai nibhala yabhabhikidumula mibhele yabhene.
Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
3 Kwa ndabha tete ndo tohara. Tete ndo huwa tukamwabudu K'yara kwa msaada wa kiroho. Tukajifunila kup'etela Yesu Kristu, na bhatudulili ujasiri mumibhele.
For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
4 Nahata, kulekakuya munu wa kuutumainila mbhele obho, nene nganibhwesili kuketa naazaidi.
though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
5 Kwani natailibhu ligono la nane, nah'ogolike mulikabila la bhaisraeli. Nena wanili kabila la Benjamini. Na mwebrania kup'ela kutisya haki ni sheria ya Musa, nayele Falisayo.
circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
6 Kwa juhudi say'honi natesili likanisa, kwa kutila haki ni sheria nayele lepi ni lawama kisheria.
concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
7 Kwa kup'etela mambo ghoa gha nighabhuene kujo ghayele ni faida kwa nene, naghabhalingi kama takataka kwa ndabha ya kummnya Kristu.
However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
8 Kwa kueli, nibhalangha mambo ghoa kujo ni hasara kwa kummanya kujobha Bwana way'honi. Kwajia ya muene nileka mambo ghoa, nani bhalanga kama takataka ili nin'kabhai Kristu.
More than that, I count all things to be a loss compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
9 Na nibhonekai mugati mwamuene. Niyelepi ni haki ya y'honi binafsi kuhomela musheria, Bali niyele ni haki yayipatikana mu imani kup'etela Kristu, yayihomela kwa K'yara, yaiyele ni msingi muimani.
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
10 Henu nilonda kummnya muene kwa ngho'fo sya ufufuo bhuake ni ushiriki wa mates'hu ghake. Nilonda kubadilishwa ni Kristu kup'etela mfwanu wa kifo kyamuene,
that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
11 angalau nibhuwesya kuya ni tumaini kwa kup'etela ufufuo wa wafu.
if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12 Na siyo kwamba ni malili kughakabha agha. Au nimalili kuyakikamilifu kwa agha. Bali nikajitahidi ili nibhuesyai kukabha gha aghakabhili Yesu Kristu.
Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
13 Bhalongo bhangu, ndesi kujobhela kuya nimalili kukabha mambogh agha. Bali nik'heta lijambo limonga: niyhebheleta gha kunyuma na nilangai gha kulongolo.
Brothers, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forward to the things which are ahead,
14 Nikajilahidi kufikila lilengo kusudi nikabhai tuzo ya panani ya bhuito bhwa K'yara kup'etela Yesu Kristu.
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Twabhoa tukolili bhuokovu, twilondeka kubhuasa namna eye. Kwa y'hongi abhwanili kufikilila kwa namna yenge kup'etela lijambo liyoaleta, K'yara muene abhwanili kulifunula ele kwa muenga.
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.
16 Hata hivyo hatua ikafikilai natulolai nitindo obho.
Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.
17 Bhalongo bhangu, muniyegai nene. Na nibhalangai kwa unofu bha bhilota ni mfano wa jinsi yay'hoto.
Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
18 Bhingi bhabhiishi ndo bhala ambao mda bhuingi nikabhajobhela, ni henu ni kabhajobhela kwa maho'si-bhingi bhiishi kutya maadui bha n'salaba wa Yesu Kristu.
For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ,
19 Muishu wabhene ndo uhalibifu. Kwa ndabha K'yara wabhene ndo lileme, ni kiburi kyabhene kiyele mu aibu sabhene. Bhifikilila mambo gha kidunia.
whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
20 Bali ulaia wa y'hoto uye kumbinguni, ambako tukan'tegemela mkombozi wa y'hoto Yesu kristu.
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Wakubadilisya mibhele ya y'hoto midhaifu kuya kutya mbhele wa muene wa utukufu; kwa ubhueso bholabhola wa kuthibiti fhenu fyoa.
who will transform our lowly body into the likeness of his glorious body, according to the power by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
