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 brethren, rejoice in the Lord; to write the same things to you, to me is not burdensome, and for you it is safe.
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 workmen, beware of the concision.
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 by the Spirit of God, and glory 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 have reason for confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath reason for confidence in the flesh, I 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 race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; as to 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.
as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, blameless.
7 Nanso, nneɛma a na mefa no sɛ ɛyɛ mfasoɔ nyinaa no, ɛsiane Kristo enti, ayɛ adehwereɛ.
But whatever things were gain to me, those for the sake of Christ I have counted but loss.
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,
Nay more, I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as 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 my own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God upon 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, while becoming like him in 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 have been already perfected; but I press on, if I may also lay hold of that for which I was laid hold of by Christ.
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.
Brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold of it; but one thing I do, forgetting the things that are behind, and stretching forth to the things that are before,
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 toward the mark for the prize of the heavenly 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, be of this mind; and if ye have a different mind in anything, even this will God reveal to you.
16 Nanso deɛ yɛn nsa aka dada no, momma yɛnkɔ so saa ara nkura mu.
Nevertheless, whereto we have reached, in that let us walk.
17 Anuanom, monkɔ so nsuasua me. Yɛama mo nhwɛso pa, enti montie wɔn a wɔwɔ saa nhwɛso pa no.
Brethren, be ye followers together of me, and mark those who walk as ye 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 walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the 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 their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, whose mind is on 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 the country of which we are citizens is heaven, whence also we wait for a Saviour, 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 the body of our humiliation so that it shall be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working of the power with which he is able to subdue all things to himself.
