Filipiana 3
1 Farany, ry rahalahy, mifalia ao amin’ ny Tompo. Tsy manahirana ahy ny manoratra teny averina, fa mahatsara anareo izany.
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is not irksome to me, and for you it is safe.
2 Tandremo ny tenanareo amin’ ny amboa, tandremo ny tenanareo amin’ ny mpanao ratsy, tandremo ny tenanareo amin’ ny voakilema.
Beware of those that are like dogs, beware of evil doers, beware of the concision.
3 Fa isika no voafora, izay manompo amin’ ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra ary manao an’ i Kristy Jesosy ho reharehantsika ka tsy mitoky amin’ ny nofo;
For we are of the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit, rejoicing in Christ Jesus, and having no confidence in the flesh.
4 kanefa mba manana izay hitokiako amin’ ny nofo ihany aho. Raha misy olona hafa manao hitoky amin’ ny nofo, mainka fa izaho;
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinks he hath whereof to trust in the flesh, I more:
5 fa voafora tamin’ ny andro fahavalo aho, avy amin’ ny fototr’ isiraely, dia avy amin’ ny firenen’ i Benjamina; Hebreo sady avy amin’ ny Hebreo aho; araka ny lalàna, dia Fariseo;
having been circumcised on the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of Hebrews, with respect to the law a pharisee,
6 araka ny zotom-po, dia nanenjika ny fiangonana; araka ny fahamarinana avy amin’ ny lalàna, dia tsy nanan-tsiny.
as to zeal persecuting the church, as to the righteousness of the law blameless: but those things,
7 Nefa izay azoko ho tombony dia nataoko fatiantoka kosa noho ny amin’ i Kristy.
which were once gain to me, I counted loss for Christ.
8 Eny tokoa, fa ataoko ho fatiantoka avokoa ny zavatra rehetra noho ny fihoaran’ ny hatsaran’ ny fahalalana an’ i Kristy Jesosy Tompoko, Izay niaretako ny fatiantoka ny zavatra rehetra, ka ataoko ho taimboraka ireny mba hahazoako an’ i Kristy;
Yea doubtless and I count all but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all, and I account them but dung, that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him,
9 ary mba ho hita ao aminy aho tsy manana ny fahamarinako, izay avy amin’ ny lalàna, fa izay avy amin’ ny finoana an’ i Kristy, dia ny fahamarinan’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny finoana;
not having my own righteousness which is of the law, but that which is by the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: that I may know Him,
10 eny, mba ho fantatro Izy sy ny herin’ ny fitsanganany tamin’ ny maty ary ny fiombonana amin’ ny fijaliany ka hampitovina amin’ ny endriky ny fahafatesany,
and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death;
11 raha mba misy hahatratrarako ny fitsanganana amin’ ny maty.
if by any means I may attain to the resurrection of the dead:
12 Tsy toy ny efa nahazo sahady aho, na efa tanteraka sahady; fa miezaka aho hihazona izay nihazonan’ i Kristy Jesosy ahy.
not that I have yet won the prize, or am already perfect: but I press forward to acquire that perfection, for which also I have been apprehended by Christ Jesus.
13 Ry rahalahy, tsy mbola ataoko fa efa nahazo ny tenako; fa zavatra iray loha no ataoko; manadino izay zavatra ao aoriana ka miezaka hanatratra izay zavatra eo aloha,
Brethren, I count not myself to have attained it: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to those before,
14 eny, miezaka hanatratra ny marika aho hahazoako ny lokan’ ny fiantsoan’ Andriamanitra any ambony ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy.
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Koa aoka isika rehetra izay tanteraka hihevitra izany; fa hasehon’ Andriamanitra aminareo izany, raha sendra manana sain-kafa ianareo.
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, attend to this: and if in any thing ye think differently, God will reveal this also unto you.
16 Kanefa aoka ho amin’ ilay efa azontsika sahady no mbola hizorantsika.
But in what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Ry rahalahy, aoka samy hanahaka ahy ianareo, ka diniho izay mandeha tahaka ny anananareo anay ho marika.
Brethren, be imitators of me, and observe those that walk as ye have us for an example.
18 Fa maro no mandeha, izay efa nolazaiko taminareo matetika, sady mbola lazaiko aminareo amin’ ny fitomaniana koa ankehitriny, fa fahavalon’ ny hazo fijalian’ i Kristy ireny;
(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: whose end is destruction,
19 fahaverezana no hiafarany, ny kibony no andriamaniny, ny fahamenarany no voninahiny, fa misaina ny amin’ ny tany izy.
whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things) For our conversation is in heaven,
20 Fa ny fanjakantsika dia any an-danitra, ary avy any koa no iandrasantsika Mpamonjy, dia Jesosy Kristy Tompo,
from whence also we expect the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ: who will change our vile body,
21 Izay hanova ny tenan’ ny fietren-tenantsika ka hitovy endrika amin’ ny tenan’ ny voninahiny, araka ny fiàsan’ ny heriny, izay ahaizany hampanaiky ny zavatra rehetra ho Azy.
that it may be made like his glorious body, according to the energy of his ability to subdue all things to Himself.
