Bafilipi 3
1 Mme le fa go ka diregang, ditsala tse di rategang, itumeleng mo Moreneng. Ga nke ke lapisega go lo bolelela se, ebile go lo siametse go se utlwa gangwe le gape.
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me, and is a safeguard for you.
2 Itlhokomeleng mo bathong ba ba bosula, bao, dintsa tse di diphatsa, ke ba bitsa jalo, ba ba reng lo tshwanetse go rupisiwa gore lo bolokwe.
Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
3 Gonne ga se go segwa ga mebele ya rona mo go reirang bana ba Modimo; ke go mo obamela ka mewa ya rona. E ke yone “thupiso” ya boammaaruri. Rona Bakeresete re galalela mo go se Keresete Jesu a se re diretseng ebile re lemoga gore ga re kake ra ithusa go ipoloka.
For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
4 Legale fa mongwe a ka bo a kile a nna le mabaka a gore o ka ipoloka, e ka bo e le nna. Fa ba bangwe ba ne ba ka bolokwa ke se ba leng sone, tota ke ka bo ke ipolokile.
though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
5 Gonne ke rupisitswe mo thupisong ya Sejuta fa ke le malatsi a ferabobedi, ke tsaletswe mo lelapeng la Sejuta tota mo lotsong lwa ga Benjamini. Jalo ke ne ke le Mojuta wa Bajuta tota! Mo gongwe ke eng? ke ne ke le leloko la Bafarasai ba ba neng ba le kutlo mo molaong mongwe le mongwe le ngwao ya Sejuta.
circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
6 Mme a go boammaruri? Ee, ke ne ke bogisa phuthego thata; mme ke rata go ikobela molao mongwe le mongwe wa Sejuta go fitlhelela kwa bofelong.
concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
7 Mme dilo tse tsotlhe tse ke kileng ka gopola gore di siame thata, jaanong ke di latlhile gore ke beye tshepo le tsholofelo ya me mo go Keresete a le esi.
However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
8 Ee, sengwe le sengwe ga se na mosola fa se tshwantshanngwa le poelo e e senang theko ya go itse Morena wa me Jesu Keresete. Ke beetse tsotlhe fa thoko, ke di bona e se sepe, gore ke tle ke nne le Keresete,
More than that, I count all things to be a loss compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
9 ke nne mongwe fela nae, ke sa tlhole ke bona gore ke tshwanetse go bolokwa ka go siama thata kgotsa go obamela melao ya Modimo, fa e se fela ka go ikanya Keresete go mpoloka; gonne tsela ya Modimo ya go re dira gore re nne tshiamo nao e eme mo tumelong, re beile mo go Keresete a le nosi.
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
10 Mme jaanong ke tlogetse sengwe le sengwe, ke bonye e le yone fela tsela ya go itse Keresete le go lemoga nonofo e kgolo e e mo rudisitseng, le go bona gore go boga le go swa nae go rayang.
that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
11 Gore e tle e re kgotsa ka mokgwa mongwe ke tle ke nne mo botshelong jo bosha jwa ba ba tshedileng mo baswing.
if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12 Ga ke reye gore ke itekanetse. Ga ke ise ke ithute tsotlhe tse ke tshwanetseng go di ithuta, mme ke lekela pele go fitlhelela letsatsi le ke tlaa bong ke le se Keresete a se mpoloketseng le se o batlang ke nna sone.
Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
13 Nnyaa, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, ga ke ise ke nne gotlhe mo ke tshwanetseng go nna gone, mme ke leka ka natla yotlhe go tlhokomela selo se le sengwe fela se: go lebala tse di kwa morago ke lebelela tse di kwa pele.
Brothers, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forward to the things which are ahead,
14 Ke gagamaletse go fitlha kwa bokhutlong jwa lobelo le go amogela sekgele se Modimo o se re biletsang kwa legodimong ka ntlha ya se Jesu Keresete a se re diretseng.
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Ke solofela gore lotlhe ba lo leng Bakeresete ba ba godileng mo tumelong lo tlaa nna maikutlo a le mangwe le nna mo mabakeng one a, mme fa re sa dumalane mo ntlheng nngwe ke dumela gore Modimo o tlaa lo e tlhalosetsa sentle,
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.
16 fa lo ikobela boammaaruri jo lo nang najo.
Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.
17 Bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, lo nne baetsi ba me mme lo eleng tlhoko ba ba tshelang ka fa sekaong sa me.
Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
18 Gonne ke lo boleletse gantsi, mme ke bua gape jaanong ka dikeledi mo matlhong a me, go na le ba le bantsi ba ba tsamayang mo tseleng ya Sekeresete mme tota e le baba ba mokgoro wa ga Keresete.
For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ,
19 Bokamoso jwa bone ke tatlhego e e sa khutleng, gonne modimo wa bone ke mpa ya bone: ba ipelafatsa ka se se tshwanetseng go tlhabisa ditlhong; mme se ba akanyang kaga sone fela ke botshelo jwa lefatshe leno.
whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
20 Mme legae la rona le kwa legodimong, kwa Mmoloki wa rona Morena Jesu Keresete a leng teng; mme ebile re lebeletse go boa ga gagwe a tswa teng koo.
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
21 E tlaa re fa a tla o tlaa tsaya mebele e e swang e ya rona, a e fetolele mo mebeleng e e galalelang jaaka wa gagwe, a dirisa nonofo e le nngwe fela e o tlaa e dirisang go tlhabana le sengwe le sengwe gongwe le gongwe.
who will transform our lowly body into the likeness of his glorious body, according to the power by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
