Fiiliphisiyuus 3
1 Dhuma irrattis yaa obboloota ko, Gooftaatti gammadaa! Ani waanuma kanaan duraa irra deebiʼee isinii barreessuun na hin dhibu; kun isiniif eegumsa.
In conclusion, my friends, may all joy be yours in your union with the Lord. To repeat what I have already written does not weary me, and is the safe course for you.
2 Saroota irraa of eeggadhaa; namoota hammina hojjetan irraa of eeggadhaa; dhagna qabaa sobaa irraas of eeggadhaa.
Beware of those dogs! Beware of those mischievous workers! Beware of the men who mutilate themselves!
3 Sababiin isaa nu warri Hafuura Waaqaatiin waaqeffannu, warri Kiristoos Yesuusiin of jajnuu fi warri foon hin amananne dhagna qabanneerraatii;
For it is we who are the circumcised – we whose worship is prompted by the Spirit of God, who exult in Christ Jesus, and who do not rely on external privileges;
4 taʼus ani mataan koo amanachuu akkanaatiif sababii qaba. Namni biraa kam iyyuu foon amanachuuf waan sababii qabu yoo of seʼe, ani immoo isa caalaa qaba:
though I, if anyone, have cause to rely even on them. If anyone thinks he can rely on external privileges, far more can I!
5 Ani dhaladhee guyyaa saddeettaffaattin dhagna qabadhe; sanyii Israaʼel keessaas gosa Beniyaam irraa dhaladhe; warra Ibrootaa keessaas Ibricha tokkoo dha; akka seeraattis ani Fariisota keessaa tokko dha;
I was circumcised when eight days old; I am an Israelite by birth, and of the tribe of Benjamin; I am a Hebrew, and the child of Hebrews. As to the Law, I was a Pharisee;
6 waaʼee hinaaffaa, ani waldaa kiristaanaa ariʼachaan ture; waaʼee qajeelummaa seera eeguun argamuus ani mudaa hin qabu ture.
as to zeal, I was a persecutor of the church; as to such righteousness as is due to Law, I proved myself blameless.
7 Garuu waan na fayyadaa ture amma Kiristoosiif jedhee akka waan gatii hin qabneetti nan ilaala.
But all the things which I once held to be gains I have now, for the Christ’s sake, come to count as loss.
8 Dhugumaanuu sababii Gooftaa koo Kiristoos Yesuus isa waan hundumaa caalu sana beekuutiif ani waan hundumaa akka waan gatii hin qabneetti nan ilaala. Ani isaaf jedhee waan hundumaa dhabeera; Kiristoosin argachuufis waan hundumaa akka kosiitti nan ilaala;
More than that, I count everything as loss, for the sake of the exceeding value of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. And for his sake I have lost everything, and count it as rubbish, if I may but gain Christ and be found in union with him;
9 kunis qajeelummaa mataa koo kan seera eeguun argamu utuu hin taʼin qajeelummaa Kiristoositti amanuun argamu jechuunis akka ani qajeelummaa Waaqa biraa amantiidhaan dhufu qabaadhee isa keessa jiraadhuuf.
any righteousness that I have being, not the righteousness that results from Law, but the righteousness which comes through faith in Christ – the righteousness which is derived from God and is founded on faith.
10 Ani Kiristoosii fi humna duʼaa kaʼuu isaa beekuu, dhiphina isaa keessatti hirmaachuu fi duʼa isaatiinis isa fakkaachuu nan barbaada;
Then indeed I will know Christ, and the power of his resurrection, and all that it means to share his sufferings,
11 akkasiinis ani duʼaa kaʼuu warra duʼanii argachuu nan dandaʼa.
in the hope that, if I become like him in death, I may possibly attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12 Kiristoos Yesuus waan kan ofii isaa na godhateef anis waan kana harkatti galfachuuf nan fiiga jechuudha malee waan kana hunda argadheera yookaan nama hirʼina hin qabne taʼeera jechuu miti.
Not that I have already laid hold of it, or that I am already made perfect. But I press on, in the hope of actually laying hold of that for which indeed I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.
13 Yaa obboloota, ani akka waan harkatti isa galfadheetti hin ilaalu. Waan tokko garuu nan godha: Waan na duuba jiru irraanfadhee gara waan fuula koo dura jiruutti nan hiixadha;
For I, friends, do not regard myself as having yet laid hold of it. But this one thing I do – forgetting what lies behind, and straining every nerve for that which lies in front,
14 badhaasa Waaqni Kiristoos Yesuusiin ol samiitti itti na waame sana argachuuf gara kaayyoo sanaatti nan fiiga.
I press on to the goal, to gain the prize of that heavenward call which God gave me through Christ Jesus.
15 Nu warri bilchaatoon hundinuu waan akkanaa haa yaadnu. Yoo waan tokko tokko irratti yaada garaa garaa qabaattan garuu kanas Waaqni isinii ibsa.
Let all of us, then, whose faith is mature, think this way. Then, if on any matter you think otherwise, God will make that also plain to you.
16 Taʼus waanuma kanaan dura irra geenye sanaan haa jiraannu.
Only we are bound to order our lives by what we have already attained.
17 Yaa obboloota, fakkeenya koo duukaa buʼuudhaan warra kaaniin tokko taʼaa; warra fakkeenya nu isinii kennineen jiraatanis hubadhaa.
My friends, unite in following my example, and fix your eyes on those who are living by the pattern which we have set you.
18 Akkuma ani yeroo hedduu isinitti himee fi akkuma ani amma illee imimmaaniin iyyuu isinitti himu, namoonni baayʼeen diinota fannoo Kiristoos taʼanii jiraatuutii.
For there are many – of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears – who are living in enmity to the cross of the Christ.
19 Dhumni isaanii badiisa; Waaqni isaanii garaa isaanii ti; ulfinni isaanii salphina isaaniitiin. Yaadni isaaniis waanuma lafaa irratti hundeeffama.
The end of such people is ruin; for their appetites are their God, and they glory in their shame; their minds are given up to earthly things.
20 Nu garuu biyyi keenya samii irra. Fayyisaa achii dhufu, Gooftaa Yesuus Kiristoos eegganna;
But we are citizens of heaven, and from heaven we expect a saviour to come, the Lord Jesus Christ.
21 innis humna waan hunda of jala galfachuu isa dandeessisu sanaan akka dhagni keenya inni dadhabaan dhagna isaa ulfina qabeessa sana fakkaatuuf dhagna keenya ni geeddara.
By the exercise of his power to bring everything into subjection to himself, he will make our humble bodies like his glorious body.
