< Filipiana 3 >

1 Figadoña’e, ry longo: mirebeha amy Talè! Tsy mahatsimboetse ahiko te isokirako indraike, fa fañarovañe anahareo.
As to the rest, my brothers, rejoice in the LORD; indeed, [it] is not tiresome to me to write to you the same things, and for you [is] sure.
2 Itaò o amboao, itaò o mpanao ratio, itaò o mpanao savatse tsieo.
Look out for the dogs! Look out for the evil-workers! Look out for the mutilation!
3 Fa itikañe o fisavarañeo, t’ie mitoloñe amy Arofon’ Añahare naho mirenge am’ Iesoà Norizañey, vaho tsy miato-nofotse—
For we are the circumcision, who are serving God by the Spirit, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and having no trust in flesh,
4 ie ho nanam-piatoako amy nofotsey. He eo ty mihevetse t’ie ro mpiato amy nofotsey, lombolombo’e iraho:
though I also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other one thinks to have trust in flesh, I more:
5 sinavatse ami’ty andro faha-valo, foko’ Israele, tarira’ i Benjamina, Hebreo’ o Heb­reoo; Fariseo ty amy Hake;
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 nampisoañe o Fivorio an-joton-troke; tsy aman-tahiñe ami’ty fañorihañe Hake.
According to zeal—persecuting the Assembly! According to righteousness that is in law—becoming blameless!
7 Le ndra inoñ’ inoñe ty ho nitombo’e ho ahiko, nadoko ho sira-an-tane ty amy Norizañey.
But what things were gains to me, these I have counted loss, because of the Christ;
8 Tsy izay avao, fe ataoko ho fonga tsy vente’e te ampanahafeñe ami’ty hajabahina’ ty faharendrehañe i Talèko Iesoà Norizañey, aa le hene nifarieko naho nanoeko forompotse, hahazoako i Norizañey
yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I suffered loss of all things, and count them to be refuse, that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him,
9 hahatendreke te ama’e, tsy t’ie nivañone’ ty fimanemaneañe Hake, fa ty figahiña’ i Norizañey, ty toe havantañan’ Añahare mioreñe am-patokisañe.
not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith from Christ—the righteousness that is of God by faith,
10 Eka, te ho fohiko re naho ty faozara’ i fivañom-belo’ey naho ty fitraofan-kina amy fijalea’ey, hihambañako amy havilasi’ey,
to know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
11 hahatakarako ty fitroarañe an-kavilasy.
if anyhow I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.
12 Tsy t’ie nitàkako, toe tsy añon-draho, fe itoañako t’ie handrambe i nandrambesa’ Iesoà Norizañey ahikoy.
Not that I already obtained, or have already been perfected, but I pursue, if I also may lay hold of that for which I was also laid hold of by Christ Jesus;
13 O ry longo, tsy t’ie rinambeko. Fe, Amoeako ze amboho ao naho ilozohako takatse o añeo
brothers, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold [of it], but one thing [I do]—indeed forgetting the things behind, and stretching forth to the things before—
14 eka imaneako talifitse ty tambem-pikanjiañ’ abon’ Añahare am’ Iesoà Norizañey.
I pursue to the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Antao arè hiharo rehake, ze hene matoe aman-tikañe, fa naho hafa ty ereñeren-tro’areo, mbe hampalangesen’ Añahare avao.
As many, therefore, as [are] perfect—let us think this, and if [in] anything you think otherwise, this also will God reveal to you,
16 Fe soa t’ie hañavelo mañeva o fa nitakàren-tikañeo.
but to what we have attained—walk by the same rule, think the same thing;
17 O ry longo, mitraofa ami’ty fañorihañ’ ahy, naho rendreho o mpañavelo am-pitsikombeañe anay.
together become my followers, brothers, and observe those thus walking, according as you have us—a pattern;
18 Fe maro—ie beteke nitalilieko naho mbe taroñeko an-tañy henaneo—ty mañavelo hoe rafelahi’ i hatae ajale’ i Norizañeiy.
for many walk of whom I told you [about] many times—and now also weeping tell—[they are] the enemies of the Cross of the Christ,
19 Ie hijoroboñe an-karotsa­hañe ao, ty fisafoa’e ro ndrañahare’e naho ty hameñara’e ro fisengea’e. Mifahatse an-draha an-tane atoy o vetsevetse’ iareoo.
whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and whose glory [is] in their shame, who are minding the things on earth.
20 Boriza’ ty andindìñe añe tika, añe ty itamañe mpandrombake, toe Iesoà Talè Norizañey,
For our citizenship is in the heavens, from where we also await a Savior—the Lord Jesus Christ—
21 ie ty hañova o sandrin-tikañe mirèkeo, hampihambaña’e amy fañòva’e aman’ engeñey amy haozara’e hampiambane ze he’e ama’ey.
who will 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 all things to Himself.
