Filipo 3
1 Muvusililo, vanyalukolo vango muhovokaghe palikimo nu Mutwa. Nanikatala pikuvalembela kange amasio ghalaghala. isi silikuvapela ulutengano.
In conclusion, my brethren, be joyful in the Lord. For me to give you the same warnings as before is not irksome to me, while so far as you are concerned it is a safe precaution.
2 muvisaghe maso ni mbua. muvisaghe maso na vavomba mbombo avavi.
Beware of 'the dogs,' the bad workmen, the self-mutilators.
3 muvisaghe maso navanovikujitema amavili ghave. lwakuva usue twesue valasivua usue twesue tukumfunya UNguluve kulutangilo lwa Mhepo. tukwighinia mwa Kilisite Yesu, twevano tusila lukang'anisio lwam'bili.
For we are the true circumcision--we who render to God a spiritual worship and make our boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in outward ceremonies:
4 Nambe kweasava umunhu ughwa kukughuhuvilila umb'ili ughu, une naleniwesia kuvomba uluo kukila.
although I myself might have some excuse for confidence in outward ceremonies. If any one else claims a right to trust in them, far more may I:
5 nikavalasivue ikighono kya lekelakuoni nikaholilue muukikolo kya Waslaeli. Nilimukikolo kya Benjamini. nilimwebrania ghwa va Ebrania kukwesia ilweli ja ndaghililo ja Moose nikale Mfarisayi
circumcised, as I was, on the eighth day, a member of the race of Israel and of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew sprung from Hebrews; as to the Law a Pharisee;
6 Mungufu sango nikapumwisie itembile. kwakwitikila ikyang'ani ja ndaghililo, nanikale ni
as to zeal, a persecutor of the Church; as to the righteousness which comes through Law, blameless.
7 Neke lino kusoni sinonikasaghile kuti silinulivumbulilo kulyune, nikavalile hene makakala mulwakuntanganisia uKilisite.
Yet all that was gain to me--for Christ's sake I have reckoned it loss.
8 mulweli, nikusivaalila imbombo sooni kuva hasara kuhumila nuvunofu vya kukumanya uKilisite Mutwa ghwango. kwaajili jake nisilekile soni nikughavavili hene makakala neke mum'pate uKilisite.
Nay, I even reckon all things as pure loss because of the priceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. And for His sake I have suffered the loss of everything, and reckon it all as mere refuse, in order that I may win Christ and be found in union with Him,
9 nakuvoneka mun'kate jake. nisila kyang'ani jango nemwene kuhuma mundaghilo, looli nilinajo ikyang'ani jila jinojipatikana mu lwitiko mwa Kilisite, lunoluhuma kwa Nguluve, ulunya n'singi mu lwitiko.
not having a righteousness of my own, derived from the Law, but that which arises from faith in Christ--the righteousness which comes from God through faith.
10 lino nilonda kukumanya umwene ni ngufu ja vufufue vyake nulukong'ano lwa lupumuko lwake. nilonda kubadilisivua nu Kilisite mukihwani/kiling'anikisio kya vufue vyake.
I long to know Christ and the power which is in His resurrection, and to share in His sufferings and die even as He died;
11 nambe padebe niwesie kuva nuluhuvisio muvufufue vwa vafue.
in the hope that I may attain to the resurrection from among the dead.
12 Nalweli kuti tayale nisipatile imbombo isio, au kuva nilimwimike mu aghuo. pe nikujitanga neke niwesie kupata kila kinokikapatikine nu Yesu Kilisite.
I do not say that I have already won the race or have already reached perfection. But I am pressing on, striving to lay hold of the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me.
13 vanyalukolo vango, nanisagha kuti nipatile imbombo isi. neke nivomba imbombo jimo: nishemua agha mun'sana nikughalolelea agha kuvulongolo.
Brethren, I do not imagine that I have yet laid hold of it. But this one thing I do--forgetting everything which is past and stretching forward to what lies in front of me,
14 nikujitanga kufikila ili nipate ilitekelo ilikome lya lukemelo lwa Nguluve mwa Kilisite Yesu
with my eyes fixed on the goal I push on to secure the prize of God's heavenward call in Christ Jesus.
15 twevoni twevano tukulile muvuvangi, tuvaghile kusagha enendikio. kange ujunge nave kya isagha fivi kuhusu imbombo jojoni, Unguluve ghwope kyailifikula ilio kulyumue,
Therefore let all of us who are mature believers cherish these thoughts; and if in any respect you think differently, that also God will make clear to you.
16 nambe lino tughenele muluvelo uluo.
But whatever be the point that we have already reached, let us persevere in the same course.
17 vanyalukolo vango, munyighaghe une. muvalolaghe vunofu vano uluvelo lwave lulindavule ikihwani ikitu.
Brethren, vie with one another in imitating me, and carefully observe those who follow the example which we have set you.
18 vinga vanovasindamile vevano kekinga nivavulile, na linolino nikuvavua nulusosi vinga vikukala hene valugu va kikovekano kya Kilisite.
For there are many whom I have often described to you, and I now even with tears describe them, as being enemies to the Cross of Christ.
19 Uvusililo vwave vwe vunangifu. lwa kuva unguluve ghwave ghwe lileme, na matupa ghave ghali mu soni save. visagha isapaisi.
Their end is destruction, their bellies are their God, their glory is in their shame, and their minds are devoted to earthly things.
20 Neke ilikaja litu lilikukyanya, kuno tukumuvila umpoki ghwitu uYesu kilisite.
We, however, are free citizens of Heaven, and we are waiting with longing expectation for the coming from Heaven of a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 alatwandula amavili ghitu amavotevote kuva hene mbili ghwake ughwa vwimike mungufu silasila nakusighilila ifinu fyoni.
who, in the exercise of the power which He has even to subject all things to Himself, will transform this body of our humiliation until it resembles His own glorious body.
