Bafilipi 3
1 Mpo na kosukisa, bandeko na ngai, bosepelaka kati na Nkolo! Ezali likambo ya pasi te mpo na ngai kokomela bino lisusu makambo oyo nakomelaki bino liboso, mpe yango ezali mpo na bolamu na bino.
As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; the same things to write to you to me indeed is not tiresome, and for you [is] sure;
2 Bosala keba na bambwa, na bato mabe mpe na bato oyo batindikaka bino na kokatisa ngenga!
look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the concision;
3 Biso nde tozali bato oyo bakatisa ngenga na solo, pamba te tosambelaka Nzambe na nzela ya Molimo na Ye, tomikumisaka kati na Yesu-Klisto mpe totiaka elikya na biso na nzoto te,
for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust,
4 atako ngai mpe nakoki na ngai kotia elikya na nzoto. Soki moto moko akanisi ete akoki kotia elikya na nzoto, asengeli koyeba ete ngai nakoki kutu kotia elikya yango koleka ye;
though I also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more;
5 pamba te bakatisaki ngai ngenga na mokolo ya mwambe, nazali penza moto ya Isalaele kati na libota ya Benjame, mpe nazali Mo-Ebre oyo abotama na baboti oyo bazali mpe Ba-Ebre. Mpo na oyo etali Mibeko, nazalaki Mofarizeo;
circumcision on the eighth day! of the race of Israel! of the tribe of Benjamin! a Hebrew of Hebrews! according to law a Pharisee!
6 mpo na oyo etali molende, nanyokolaki Lingomba; mpo na oyo etali bosembo oyo bato balukaka na nzela ya Mibeko, nazalaki moto azanga pamela.
according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless!
7 Kasi makambo oyo nazalaki komona ete ezali na tina mpo na ngai, nakomi sik’oyo komona yango pamba mpo na Klisto.
But what things were to me gains, these I have counted, because of the Christ, loss;
8 Kaka yango te, nazali kutu komona makambo nyonso lokola eloko pamba likolo ya bolamu oyo eleki monene: koyeba Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na ngai. Ezali mpo na Ye nde ngai nandimaki kobungisa makambo wana nyonso mpe nazali komona yango lokola bisanza, mpo ete nakoka kozwa Klisto
yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,
9 mpe bakuta ngai kati na Ye. Nakomi moto ya sembo mpo ete nandimeli Klisto: Nzambe akomisi ngai moto ya sembo na nzela ya kondima. Ezali lisusu te na nzela ya kotosa Mibeko ndenge nazalaki kokanisa kala.
not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith of Christ — the righteousness that is of God by the faith,
10 Posa monene ya motema na ngai ezali: koyeba Klisto, koyeba nguya ya lisekwa na Ye, kosangana na pasi na Ye, kokokana na Ye kati na kufa na Ye
to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
11 na elikya ete ngai mpe nakosekwa kati na bakufi.
if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead.
12 Nalingi koloba te ete nasili kozwa biloko oyo nyonso to mpe nasili kokoma moto ya kokoka, kasi nazali nde kopota mbangu mpo na kozwa yango, pamba te Yesu-Klisto asila mpe kozwa ngai.
Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;
13 Bandeko, nazali kokanisa te ete nasili kozwa yango; kasi nasalaka likambo moko: nabosanaka makambo nyonso oyo esili koleka, mpe namipesaka mpo na makambo oyo ezali liboso.
brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing — the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth —
14 Boye nazali kopota mbangu kino nakoma na suka mpo na kozwa mbano oyo Nzambe abenga ngai mpo na yango wuta na Likolo kati na Yesu-Klisto.
to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Biso nyonso oyo tokola na Molimo, tosengeli kokanisa ndenge wana. Mpe soki ezali na likambo oyo na tina na yango bozali kokanisa ndenge mosusu, Nzambe akososolisa bino.
As many, therefore, as [are] perfect — let us think this, and if [in] anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,
16 Nzokande, na esika oyo tosili kokoma, totambola nzela moko.
but to what we have come — by the same rule walk, the same thing think;
17 Bandeko, bino nyonso bolanda ndakisa na ngai mpe bomekola ezaleli ya bato oyo bazali kotambola lokola biso.
become followers together of me, brethren, and observe those thus walking, according as ye have us — a pattern;
18 Pamba te ndenge nazalaki koyebisa bino yango mbala na mbala mpe, sik’oyo, nazali lisusu koyebisa bino yango na kolela, bato mingi bazali kotambola lokola banguna ya ekulusu ya Klisto.
for many walk of whom many times I told you — and now also weeping tell — the enemies of the cross of the Christ!
19 Suka na bango ezali libebi; pamba te nzambe na bango ezali libumu na bango, lokumu na bango ezali kati na makambo oyo eyokisaka bango soni, mpe makanisi na bango elukaka kaka biloko ya mokili.
whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and whose glory [is] in their shame, who the things on earth are minding.
20 Kasi biso, mboka na biso ezali kati na Likolo, mpe tozali kozela na posa makasi Mobikisi na biso, Nkolo Yesu-Klisto, oyo akowuta na Likolo.
For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we await — the Lord Jesus Christ —
21 Ye nde akobongola nzoto na biso ya putulu mpo na kokomisa yango nzoto ya nkembo, na nzela ya nguya na Ye ya kotia biloko nyonso na se ya bokonzi na Ye.
who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of his power, even to subject to himself the all things.
