Vafilipi 3
1 Chamamanizo, mizwale musangalale mwa Simwine. Kwangu ime kumiñolela zintu ziswana kaku ni kazikatazi. Izi zintu muzi mibike mubuiketo.
Moreouer, my brethren, reioyce in the Lord. It grieueth mee not to write the same things to you, and for you it is a sure thing.
2 Mulisileleze kubambwa. muliseleleze kuba vereki ba fosahele. mulisileleze kubanokola zilama zavukwame.
Beware of dogges: beware of euil workers: beware of the concision.
3 Kakuli. njeswe tunokola zilama zavukwame. Imi njeswe tulumbeka kaluhuho lwe Reeza. Imi njeswe tuhinda bwi kumuso mwa Keresite Jesu, hape tusena isepo mwinyama.
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirite, and reioyce in Christ Iesus, and haue no confidence in the flesh:
4 Niha kuba bulyo, Ime nimwine nivena isepo mwinyama. Haiva umwii uzeza kuva nisepo ye nyama, ni nivavi ni zingi.
Though I might also haue confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, much more I,
5 Imi niba kosolwa inyama yabu kwame ninina mazuba akwana iyaza niyotatwe, nibantu bamwa Isilaele, ba mushobo wa Benjamine, Muheveru wa Maheveru; kuya chekute lya mulawo, ni Mufarisi.
Circumcised the eight day, of the kinred of Israel, of the tribe of Beniamin, an Ebrewe of the Ebrewes, by the Lawe a Pharise.
6 Nivena ichiseho yaku nyandisa ikereke. Kaku kuteka kuluka kwa mulao, kana nivena mulandu.
Concerning zeale, I persecuted ye Church: touching the righteousnesse which is in the Law, I was vnrebukeable.
7 Kono zinibali kuhupula kuti bufumu kwangu, niva ziboni kuti kusinyehelwa chebaka lya Jesu.
But the thinges that were vantage vnto me, the same I counted losse for Christes sake.
8 Chabuniti, hanu nibala zintu zose kusinyehelwa ibaka ylakupanga sinte kamano akwiziba zintu ka Keresite Jesu Simwine wangu. Kakwe nibalitobohi zintu zose Imi nizilola sina ikwe ilikuti niwane Keresite
Yea, doubtlesse I thinke all thinges but losse for the excellent knowledge sake of Christ Iesus my Lord, for whome I haue counted all things losse, and doe iudge them to bee dongue, that I might winne Christ,
9 imi niwanike kwakwe. Kanina kuluka kwangu kuzwa mumulao. Kono nina kuluka kwe tumelo izwakwa Keresite, kakuli kuluka kuzwa kwe Reeza kulizingite he tumelo.
And might bee founde in him, that is, not hauing mine owne righteousnesse, which is of the Lawe, but that which is through the faith of Christ, euen the righteousnesse which is of God through faith,
10 Cwale hanu nisaka kumwiziba ninguzu zaku buswa kwakwe ni chizwale cha masukuluka. Cwale hanu nisaka kuchichululwa kuva yoswana naye kuzwila mwifu lyakwe,
That I may know him, and the vertue of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his afflictions, and be made conformable vnto his death,
11 ilikuti name nikabe nikwiziba kwaku buka kubafu.
If by any meanes I might attaine vnto the resurrection of the dead:
12 Kahena initi kuti chini batambwile izi zintu, imi kakutalusi kuti chinakwanisa. Kono nitundamene kuti nika wonde china habusu bwangu ka Keresite Jesu.
Not as though I had alreadie attained to it, either were alreadie perfect: but I follow, if that I may comprehend that for whose sake also I am comprehended of Christ Iesus.
13 Mizwale, kani hupuli kuti ime nimwine chini bachikwati. Konokwina choke chitu: ni zibala china kumasule imi nihwelela zina habusu.
Brethren, I count not my selfe, that I haue attained to it, but one thing I doe: I forget that which is behinde, and endeuour my selfe vnto that which is before,
14 Nitilila heena chifunda nika wine mupuzo wakusupwa kuwolokete kwe Reeza mwa Keresite Jesu.
And follow hard toward the marke, for the prise of the hie calling of God in Christ Iesus.
15 Tubonse tulukite, tuhupule mweyi izila. Haiba uzeza ka kuchichina nizimwi zintu, Ireeza naye mwabonise zintu halukanda kwako.
Let vs therefore as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if yee be otherwise minded, God shall reueile euen the same vnto you.
16 Niha kubabulyo, chose chintu chovasiki hachili, mukwatilile kuchili.
Neuerthelesse, in that whereunto wee are come, let vs proceede by one rule, that wee may minde one thing.
17 Mulikanyise ime, mizwale. Hafuhi mulolelele kwabo bayenda chaku likanyisa miyendelo imwina nayo.
Brethren, bee followers of mee, and looke on them, which walke so, as yee haue vs for an ensample.
18 Bangi bayenda— kuamana nabo banibali kumi wambilanga, hanu nimi wambila kazi sonzi — siina zila zachi fapano cha Keresite.
For many walke, of whom I haue told you often, and nowe tell you weeping, that they are the enemies of the Crosse of Christ:
19 Ma maninizo insi nyehelo. Kakuli bazimu babo nji mabumu abo, hape mungatuko wabo nji maswabi abo. Linu bahupula zintu zekanda.
Whose ende is damnation, whose God is their bellie, and whose glorie is to their shame, which minde earthly things.
20 Kono munzi wentu tota wina kwiwulu, kuzwa uko naswe nitulindile muhazi, Iye Simwne Jesu Keresite.
But our conuersation is in heauen, from whence also we looke for the Sauiour, euen the Lord Iesus Christ,
21 Mwa kachiche mivili yetu ibola nikubika mivili yetu kuba sina muvili wakwe ubelenga, kupangwe kenguzu zamata akwe kubikila zintu zonse mwikonde lyakwe.
Who shall change our vile bodie, that it may be fashioned like vnto his glorious body, according to the working, whereby hee is able euen to subdue all things vnto him selfe.
