Filipifoɔ 3
1 Anuanom, asɛm a mede rewie ne sɛ, momma mo ani nnye wɔ Awurade mu. Ɛnha me sɛ mɛti nsɛm a matwerɛ dada no mu. Ɛyɛ ma mo akwankyerɛ.
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 Monhwɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ no a wɔte sɛ nkraman a wɔhyɛ mo sɛ montwa twetia ansa na moanya nkwagyeɛ no yie.
Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
3 Ɛyɛ yɛn, na ɛnyɛ wɔn na agye nokorɛ twetiatwa ato mu. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn Honhom na ɔma yɛn tumi ma yɛsom no. Na hyɛ a yɛde yɛn ho ahyɛ Kristo Yesu mu no enti, yɛanya fawohodie. Yɛmmfa yɛn ho nto honam so.
For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
4 Sɛ obi wɔ hɔ a ɔdwene sɛ, sɛ ɔde ne ho to amanneɛ so na ɛyɛ a, anka ɛyɛ me.
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 Ɛberɛ a medii nnawɔtwe pɛ na wɔtwaa me twetia. Meyɛ Israelni firi mʼawosuo mu. Mefiri Benyamin abusua a wɔyɛ Hebrifoɔ kronn no mu. Sɛ wɔka Yudafoɔ mmara sodie ho asɛm nso a, meyɛ Farisini
circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
6 a na me ho pere me sɛ mɛtaa Kristo. Sɛ mmara no sodie nko tumi ma obi yɛ ɔteneneeni a, anka me deɛ, me ho nni mfomsoɔ biara.
concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
7 Nanso, nneɛma a na mefa no sɛ ɛyɛ mfasoɔ nyinaa no, ɛsiane Kristo enti, ayɛ adehwereɛ.
However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
8 Ɛnyɛ ɛno nko, seesei megye medi nso sɛ biribiara nkyɛn sɛ wode wo ho bɛto Kristo Yesu a ɔyɛ mʼAwurade no so. Ne enti, mato biribiara atwene. Mefa biribiara sɛ nneɛma hunu bi, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, me nsa bɛka Kristo,
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 na mahunu sɛ me ne no ayɛ baako. Afei, meremfa mʼahoɔden mpere sɛ mɛyɛ pɛ. Merenhwehwɛ pɛyɛ a ɛfiri Mmara no mu bio. Na mmom mɛhwehwɛ pɛyɛ a ɛfiri gyidie mu. Mɛhwehwɛ pɛyɛ a ne fapem ne Kristo ne Onyankopɔn mu gyidie.
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 Deɛ merehwehwɛ ara ne sɛ, mɛhunu Kristo na mɛnya ne wusɔreɛ no mu suahunu, na mahunu nʼamaneɛ no bi, na mayɛ sɛ ɔno wɔ ne owuo no mu,
that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
11 na mewɔ anidasoɔ sɛ, me nso me owuo akyi, mɛsɔre afiri owuo mu.
if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12 Mennka sɛ madi nkonim anaasɛ meyɛ pɛ. Na mmom merepere akɔ mʼanim ara sɛ me nsa bɛka deɛ enti a Kristo Yesu nso nsa aka me no.
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 Anuanom, mennye nni sɛ madi saa nkonim no. Adeɛ baako a ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ ne sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ me werɛ firi mʼakyi na meyere me ho sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mɛduru deɛ ɛwɔ mʼanim no ho.
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 Yei enti, metu mmirika kɔ mʼanim tee na madu ɔsoro botaeɛ no a Onyankopɔn nam Kristo Yesu so afrɛ me no ho.
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛn a yɛnyini wɔ Honhom mu no nyinaa dwene saa. Sɛ mo mu bi nso wɔ adwene foforɔ a, Onyankopɔn bɛda no adi akyerɛ mo.
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 Nanso deɛ yɛn nsa aka dada no, momma yɛnkɔ so saa ara nkura mu.
Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.
17 Anuanom, monkɔ so nsuasua me. Yɛama mo nhwɛso pa, enti montie wɔn a wɔwɔ saa nhwɛso pa no.
Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
18 Maka saa asɛm yi akyerɛ mo sɛ, nnipa bebree wɔ hɔ a wɔn abrabɔ ma wɔyɛ Kristo wu a ɔwuu wɔ asɛnnua no ho no atamfoɔ.
For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ,
19 Saa nnipa no bɛkɔ ɔsɛeɛ mu, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn nyame ara ne wɔn honam mu nneɛma. Wɔma wɔn ho so wɔ nneɛma a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn ani wu ho no ho, na wɔdwene ewiase nneɛma nko ara ho.
whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
20 Yɛn deɛ, yɛyɛ ɔsoro mma na yɛde ahosɛpɛ twɛn yɛn Agyenkwa a ɔyɛ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo a ɔfiri ɔsoro bɛba no.
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Ɔnam tumi a ɛtumi ma biribiara hyɛ nʼase no so bɛsakra yɛn onipadua a ɛyɛ mmerɛ na ɛwu no, na wayɛ no sɛ ne deɛ a ɛwɔ animuonyam no.
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.
