फिलि. 3
1 १ शेवटी, माझ्या बंधूंनो, प्रभूमध्ये आनंद करा. तुम्हास पुन्हा लिहिण्यास मी कंटाळा करीत नाही, पण ते तुमच्या सुरक्षितपणाचे आहे.
[Now there are] other things [that I want to write about]. My fellow believers, continue to rejoice because [you belong to] the Lord. [Though] I will [now] write to you about those same matters [that I mentioned to you before, this is] not tiresome for me, and it will protect you [from those who would harm you spiritually].
2 २ त्या कुत्र्यांपासून सावध राहा. वाईट काम करणार्‍यांपासून सावध राहा. केवळ दैहिक सुंता झालेल्या लोकांविषयी सावध राहा.
Beware of those [people who are dangerous] [MET] [like wild] dogs. They are [dangerous] evildoers [DOU]. Beware of them [since they are like people who] cut [other people’s] bodies [MET]. [They will harm you spiritually by insisting that you must let someone circumcise you in order for you to become God’s people] [MTY, MET].
3 ३ कारण आपण जे देवाच्या आत्म्याने देवाची उपासना करतो, जे ख्रिस्त येशूविषयी अभिमान बाळगणारे आणि देहावर विश्वास न ठेवणारे ते आपण सुंता झालेलेच आहोत.
[Those people think that they are God’s people because someone has circumcised them]. But we, [not they], are [truly God’s people] [MET], [whether or not someone has] circumcised [us]. God’s Spirit [enables us to] [MTY] worship [God]; we praise Christ Jesus [because he has enabled us to become the people of God]. We do not believe [that God will consider/make us his people as a result of what someone has done to our] bodies [MTY, SYN].
4 ४ तरी देहावरही भरंवसा ठेवण्यास मला जागा आहे. आपल्याला देहावर भरंवसा ठेवता येईल असे जर दुसऱ्या कोणाला वाटत असेल तर मला तसे अधिक वाटणार.
[We do not trust in those rituals to make us acceptable to God], although I could very well do that [if it would be useful for me]. Philippians 3:4b-6 [In fact], [if I could benefit from it for my salvation], I could rely upon what I have done and who I am [MTY, SYN] more than anyone else could! I will tell you why.
5 ५ मी तर आठव्या दिवशी सुंता झालेला, इस्राएल लोकातला, बन्यामीन वंशातला, इब्य्रांचा इब्री, नियमशास्त्रदृष्टीने परूशी;
I [was circumcised] {[Someone] circumcised me} when I was one week old. I am from the people of Israel. I am from the tribe of Benjamin. I am completely Hebrew in every way. [While I was] a member of the Pharisee [sect], I [strictly obeyed] the laws [that God gave Moses].
6 ६ आस्थेविषयी म्हणाल तर मंडळीचा छळ करणारा आणि नियमशास्त्रातील नीतिमत्त्वाविषयी निर्दोष ठरलेला असा आहे.
I was [so] zealous [to make people obey those laws that] I caused the people who believe in Christ to suffer [because I thought they were trying to abolish those laws. Indeed], as far as my obeying those laws is concerned, no [one could] have accused [me by] saying that I had disobeyed any of those laws.
Nevertheless, all such things as those, which I used to [consider to] be useful to me, those [very] things I now consider worthless, because I [want to know] Christ (OR, in order that I [may know] Christ).
8 ८ इतकेच नाही, तर ख्रिस्त येशू माझा प्रभू ह्याच्याविषयीच्या ज्ञानाच्या श्रेष्ठत्वामुळे मी सर्वकाही हानी समजतो. त्याच्यासाठी मी सर्व गोष्टींची हानी सोसली आणि मी त्या केरकचरा लेखतो, ह्यासाठी की, मला ख्रिस्त येशू हा लाभ प्राप्त व्हावा.
More than that, I consider all things to be worthless, compared to how great it is to know Christ Jesus my Lord. Because I [want to know] him [better] (OR, In order that I [may know] him [better]), I have rejected all things as worthless. I consider them [as useless as] [MET] rubbish, in order that I may have [a close relationship with] Christ [MET],
9 ९ आणि मी त्याच्याठायी आढळावे आणि माझे नीतिमत्त्व माझे स्वतःचे नव्हे म्हणजे नियमशास्त्राच्या योगे मिळणारे नीतिमत्त्व नव्हे तर ते ख्रिस्तावरील विश्वासाद्वारे, म्हणजे देवाकडून विश्वासाद्वारे मिळणारे नीतिमत्त्व असे असावे.
and in order that I may completely belong to him. It was not as a result of [my obeying] the laws [he gave Moses] that God erased the record of my sins. Instead, it is because I have trusted in Christ [that God] has declared that I am no longer guilty for my sins, and he enables me to act righteously. [It is] God [himself who] has erased the record of my sins, and he enables me to act righteously, [only] because I have trusted [in Christ].
10 १० हे अशासाठी आहे की, तो व त्याच्या पुनरुत्थानाचे सामर्थ्याचे व त्याच्या दुःखांची सहभागिता ह्यांची, त्याच्या मरणाशी एकरूप होऊन, मी ओळख करून घ्यावी.
I [want] to know Christ [better and better]. Particularly, I [want] to continually experience [his working] powerfully in my life, [just like God worked powerfully when he] caused Christ to become alive after he died. I [also want to be continually willing] to suffer [in order that I may obey God], just like Christ suffered [in order that he might obey God. I also want] to be completely willing to die for [Christ], even as he died for me,
[because I expect that, as a result of God’s goodness], he will cause me to live again after I have died.
12 १२ मी आताच जणू मिळवले आहे किंवा मी आताच पूर्ण झालो आहे असे नाही. पण मी ज्यासाठी ख्रिस्त येशूने मला आपल्या ताब्यात घेतले ते मी आपल्या ताब्यात घ्यावे म्हणून मी त्याच्यामागे लागलो आहे.
I do not claim that I have already become completely like Christ Jesus; that is, I have not already become all that God intends me to be [DOU]. But I earnestly try to become [more and more like Christ], because he chose me [in order that I might become like him].
13 १३ बंधूंनो, मी ते आपल्या ताब्यात घेतले असे मानीत नाही पण मी हीच एक गोष्ट करतो की, मागील गोष्टी विसरून जाऊन आणि पुढील गोष्टींवर लक्ष लावून,
My fellow believers, I certainly do not consider that I have already become completely like Christ. But I [am like a runner. A runner does not look backward] [MET]. Instead, he leans/stretches forward as he runs straight toward the goal [in order that he might win the race and get the prize. Similarly], I do not think about what I have already done.
14 १४ ख्रिस्त येशूच्या ठायी देवाचे जे वरील पाचारण त्या संबंधीचे बक्षिस मिळविण्यासाठी पुढच्या मर्यादेवरील खुणेकडे मी धावतो. हेच एक माझे काम.
Instead, I concentrate only on [continuing to become more and more like Christ right up to the end of my life] [MET]. As a result, because of my relationship with Christ Jesus, God will call/summon me to receive a reward from him [in heaven].
15 १५ तर जेवढे आपण प्रौढ आहोत, तेवढ्यांनी हीच चित्तवृत्ती ठेवावी आणि तुम्ही एखाद्या गोष्टीविषयी निराळी चित्तवृत्ती ठेवली, तरी देव तेही तुम्हास प्रकट करील.
So, all of us who are [spiritually] mature should think this [same way]. If any [of you] do not think this same way regarding what I [have written here], God will reveal that to you.
What is important is that we must conduct our lives according to what [God has already revealed to] us.
17 १७ बंधूंनो, तुम्ही सर्वजण माझे अनुकरण करणारे व्हा आणि आम्ही तुम्हास कित्ता घालून दिल्याप्रमाणे जे चालतात, त्यांच्याकडे लक्ष द्या.
My fellow believers, [all of] you should follow my example, and observe those people who act as I do, [in order that you may imitate them also].
18 १८ कारण मी तुम्हास, पुष्कळ वेळा, सांगितले आणि आता रडत सांगतो की, पुष्कळजण असे चालतात की, ते ख्रिस्ताच्या वधस्तंभाचे वैरी आहेत.
[Keep in mind that] there are many people [who say that they believe in Christ, but] who act [in such a way that shows] that they are opposed to [the teaching about] Christ [dying on] the cross [MTY]. I have told you about those people many times [before], and now I am sad, even crying, as I tell you [about them again].
19 १९ नाश हा त्यांचा शेवट, पोट हे त्यांचे दैवत, त्यांचा निर्लज्जपणा हे त्यांचे भुषण आहे, ते जगिक गोष्टींवर चित्त ठेवतात.
[God] will severely punish them. The things their bodies desire [MTY] have become [like] gods to them [MET]. They are proud of the things they should be ashamed of. They think only about what unbelievers [MTY] think about.
20 २० आपले नागरिकत्व तर स्वर्गात आहे; तेथून प्रभू येशू ख्रिस्त हा तारणारा येणार आहे; त्याची आपण वाट पाहत आहोत.
[But remember] that we are citizens of heaven. And we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, [to return] from there.
21 २१ ज्या सामर्थ्याने तो सर्वकाही आपल्या स्वाधीन करण्यास समर्थ आहे त्या सामर्थ्यांने तो तुमचे आमचे नीच स्थितीचे शरीर आपल्या गौरवीच्या शरीरासारखे व्हावे म्हणून त्यांचे रूपांतर करील.
By the power that enables him to put everything under his own control, he will change our weak bodies to become like his glorious body.
