ଫିଲିପ୍ପୀୟ 3
1 ଅବଶେଷରେ, ହେ ମୋହର ଭାଇମାନେ, ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କଠାରେ ଆନନ୍ଦ କର। ଏକ-ପ୍ରକାର କଥା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଥରକୁଥର ଲେଖିବା ମୋʼ ପ୍ରତି କ୍ଳାନ୍ତିଜନକ ନୁହେଁ, ବରଂ ସେହିସବୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ନିଷ୍ଠାଜନକ।
[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 କୁକୁରମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ସାବଧାନ, ଦୁଷ୍ଟ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟକାରୀମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ସାବଧାନ, ସୁନ୍ନତବାଦୀ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ସାବଧାନ;
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 କାରଣ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ସୁନ୍ନତ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ, ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଆତ୍ମାରେ ଉପାସନା କରୁ, ପୁଣି, ବାହ୍ୟିକ ବିଷୟ ଉପରେ ନିର୍ଭର ନ କରି ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କଠାରେ ଦର୍ପ କରୁ।
[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 ମୁଁ ତ ବାହ୍ୟିକ ବିଷୟ ଉପରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ନିର୍ଭର କରିପାରନ୍ତି; ଯଦି ଅନ୍ୟ କେହି ବାହ୍ୟିକ ବିଷୟ ଉପରେ ନିର୍ଭର କରିପାରେ ବୋଲି ମନେ କରେ, ତେବେ ମୁଁ ଅଧିକ କରିପାରେ;
[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 ମୁଁ ଅଷ୍ଟମ ଦିନରେ ସୁନ୍ନତ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ, ଇସ୍ରାଏଲ ବଂଶଜାତ, ବିନ୍ୟାମୀନ୍ ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀୟ, ଏବ୍ରୀୟ-ରକ୍ତଜାତ ଜଣେ ଏବ୍ରୀୟ, ମୋଶାଙ୍କ ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥା ପାଳନ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ ଜଣେ ଫାରୂଶୀ,
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 ଉଦ୍ଯୋଗ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ ମଣ୍ଡଳୀର ଜଣେ ତାଡ଼ନାକାରୀ, ପୁଣି, ମୋଶାଙ୍କ ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥାଗତ ଧାର୍ମିକତା ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦୋଷ ଦେଖାଯାଇଥିଲି।
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.
7 କିନ୍ତୁ ଯାହାସବୁ ମୋʼ ପକ୍ଷରେ ଲାଭଜନକ ଥିଲା, ସେହିସବୁ ମୁଁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ କ୍ଷତିଜନକ ବୋଲି ଗଣ୍ୟ କରିଅଛି।
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 ହଁ, ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ମୁଁ ମୋହର ପ୍ରଭୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଜ୍ଞାନର ଉତ୍କୃଷ୍ଟତା ନିମନ୍ତେ ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ କ୍ଷତିଜନକ ବୋଲି ଗଣ୍ୟ କରେ; ତାହାଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ମୁଁ ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟର କ୍ଷତି ସହ୍ୟ କଲି, ପୁଣି, ସେହିସବୁ ଆବର୍ଜନା ସ୍ୱରୂପ ଗଣ୍ୟ କରେ, ଯେପରି ମୁଁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କୁ ଲାଭ କରିପାରେ ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କର ବୋଲି ଜଣାଯାଏ,
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 ପୁଣି, ମୋଶାଙ୍କ ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥା ପାଳନ ହେତୁ ନିଜର ଧାର୍ମିକତା ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ନ ହୋଇ ବରଂ ଯେପରି ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କଠାରେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଈଶ୍ବରଦତ୍ତ ବିଶ୍ୱାସମୂଳକ ଧାର୍ମିକତା ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହୁଏ,
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 ଯେପରି ମୁଁ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ, ତାହାଙ୍କ ପୁନରୁତ୍ଥାନର ଶକ୍ତି ଓ ତାହାଙ୍କ ମୃତ୍ୟୁଭୋଗରେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ତୁଲ୍ୟ ହୋଇ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଦୁଃଖଭୋଗର ସହଭାଗିତା ଜ୍ଞାତ ହୁଏ,
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,
11 ଏବଂ କୌଣସି ପ୍ରକାରେ ମୃତମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ପୁନରୁତ୍ଥାନ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହୋଇପାରେ।
[because I expect that, as a result of God’s goodness], he will cause me to live again after I have died.
12 ମୁଁ ଯେ ଏବେ ସେହି ସମସ୍ତ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହୋଇଅଛି ଅବା ସିଦ୍ଧି ଲାଭ କରିଅଛି, ତାହା ନୁହେଁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ମୁଁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଧୃତ ହୋଇଥିବାରୁ ତାହା ଧରିବା ପାଇଁ ଦୌଡ଼ୁଅଛି।
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 ହେ ଭାଇମାନେ, ମୁଁ ଏପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ତାହା ଧରିଅଛି ବୋଲି ମନେ କରୁ ନାହିଁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଗୋଟିଏ ବିଷୟ ମୁଁ କରୁଅଛି,
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 ପଶ୍ଚାତ୍ ବିଷୟସବୁ ମନରୁ ଦୂର କରି ସମ୍ମୁଖରେ ଥିବା ବିଷୟଗୁଡ଼ିକ ପ୍ରତି ଦୃଷ୍ଟି ରଖି ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟ ଯୀଶୁଙ୍କଠାରେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗୀୟ ଆହ୍ୱାନର ପୁରସ୍କାର ପାଇବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ପ୍ରାଣପଣ କରି ଲକ୍ଷ୍ୟ ସ୍ଥଳକୁ ଦୌଡ଼ୁଅଛି।
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 ଅତଏବ, ଆସ, ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଯେତେ ଲୋକ ସିଦ୍ଧ, ଏହିପରି ଭାବ ଧାରଣ କରୁ, ଆଉ ଯଦି କୌଣସି ବିଷୟରେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଭାବ ଭିନ୍ନ ପ୍ରକାର ଥାଏ, ତେବେ ଏହା ମଧ୍ୟ ଈଶ୍ବର ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିବେ;
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.
16 କେବଳ, ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଯେତେ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଅଗ୍ରସର ହୋଇଅଛୁ, ସେହି ଅନୁସାରେ ଆଚରଣ କରୁ।
What is important is that we must conduct our lives according to what [God has already revealed to] us.
17 ହେ ଭ୍ରାତୃଗଣ, ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଏକତ୍ର ମିଳି ମୋହର ଅନୁକାରୀ ହୁଅ, ପୁଣି, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କଠାରେ ଯେଉଁ ଆଦର୍ଶ ଦେଖୁଅଛ, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତଦନୁଯାୟୀ ଆଚରଣ କରନ୍ତି, ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଦୃଷ୍ଟି କର।
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 କାରଣ ଏପରି ଅନେକ ଅଛନ୍ତି, ଯେଉଁମାନଙ୍କର ଆଚରଣ ବିଷୟରେ ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଥରକୁଥର କହିଅଛି, ଆଉ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ମଧ୍ୟ କାନ୍ଦି କାନ୍ଦି କହୁଅଛି, ସେମାନେ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ କ୍ରୁଶର ଶତ୍ରୁ;
[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 ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପରିଣାମ ବିନାଶ, ଉଦର ସେମାନଙ୍କର ଦେବତା, ସେମାନେ ଆପଣା ଆପଣା ଲଜ୍ଜାକୁ ଦର୍ପର ବିଷୟ ମନେ କରନ୍ତି, ପୁଣି, ପାର୍ଥିବ ବିଷୟଗୁଡ଼ିକରେ ଆସକ୍ତ ଅଟନ୍ତି।
[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 ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ତ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗର ପ୍ରଜା, ସେ ସ୍ଥାନରୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ତ୍ରାଣକର୍ତ୍ତା ପ୍ରଭୁ ଯୀଶୁ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ଆଗମନର ଅପେକ୍ଷାରେ ଅଛୁ;
[But remember] that we are citizens of heaven. And we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, [to return] from there.
21 ସେ ଆପଣାର ଯେଉଁ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟସାଧକ ଶକ୍ତି ଦ୍ୱାରା ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟକୁ ନିଜର ବଶୀଭୂତ କରିପାରନ୍ତି, ତଦ୍ୱାରା ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଛାର ଶରୀରକୁ ରୂପାନ୍ତରିତ କରି ଆପଣାର ଗୌରବମୟ ଶରୀରର ସଦୃଶ କରିବେ।
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.
