< Philippians 3 >

1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.
Umalzunu vat linuana, sun liburi libo nanyan Cikilari. Kitininghe nkurun yerten minu ile imone na imon nkonnu litiari ba. Ilenge imone ma ciu minu gegeme.
2 Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.
Yenjen bara ninau. Yenjen anan katwa kananzanga. Yenjen anan molsu nanit.
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
Bara arikari ukalzu nacuru mine. Arikere anan sujada nin Ruhu Kutelle. Arikere anan fo nigiri nin Yesu Kristi, alenge na idi nin nayi akone nin katwa kidowo.
4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
Nanya nane, meng wang wadi nin nayi akone nin katwa kidowo. Nwa dimun wang gbardang.
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
Iwa kalai kucuru liri lin kutir. Iwa marui nanya kuwunun Israila, nanya likuran Bayamin, Kuyahudawa kidegen nanya na Yahudawa. Kusarin dortun duka, iwa marui ku Farisawa.
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
Meng wadin lanzun mang ntizu kilari Kutelle uniu kang. Bara katwa kacine nduka, na nwa dinin tanu ba.
7 However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.
Ama vat nani inyaghari wadi ukpinu ninghe, nmini na yaun inin imon ihem vat bara Kristi.
8 Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
Kidegene, nene ndin batuzu imone vat udiuwari bara katwa kacine in yirun Kristi Yesu Cikilari ninghe. Bara ame nna filing imon vat. Nna yiru inin vat katwa kanangzanghari bara nnan se Kristi ku,
9 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,
inan seyi nanya me tutung. Na nna se katwa kacine litining bara udortu nduka ba. Nna nase katwa kacine kanga na na kadi nanyan yinnu sa uyenu nin Kristi, katwa kacine ka na kadi kiti Kutelle unuzun yinnu sa uyenu.
10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,
Nengene ndi nin su inyininghe nin likaran fitu me nanya kul a ligowe nanyan niu me. Ndi nin suu nse ukpiliu nanya lissosin ninghe bara ukul me.
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
nnani men ciro ufitu nnuzu na nan kul.
12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
Na kidegenere nna malu useru ilenge imone ba, sa meng mal se ukulu nimone ba. Ama ndin sho liti nnan kifo ileli imone na mma kifu kitin Kristi Yesu.
13 Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before,
Linuana, na ndin yenju nafo meng liti ninghe nmal kifu imon ba. Ama imon irum duku meng fillo imon ile na imal katu nmini ceo ayi nimon ile na idin bunnning nanya Kristi Yesu.
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Ndin sho liti udi duru kiti kanga na ndi ninsu nduru nnan se uduk in yicu Kutelle nanyan Kristi Yesu.
15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.
Vat bite na timal kunju, na ti kpiliza nani. Andi udin kpilizu ugan nbelen nimon imong, Kutelle wang ma dursu fi ining.
16 Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let’s walk by the same rule. Let’s be of the same mind.
Vat nani, vat nimon ile na timal duru ining, na timiin inin nin likara.
17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
Piziran iyita nafo meng, linuana, shonon iyizi iyenje gegeme alenge na idin cinju imusun cin ule na anung nase kiti bite.
18 For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,
Anit gbardng din cinu nanya nalenge na ndin bellu minu ubelen mine kokome kubi, nene tutung ndin belu minu nin mizin, among din cinu masin nafo idi nivira nin kucan kotunung Kristari.
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
Imalin mine ukulari. Bara Kutelle mine aburi minere, a tikunan nati mine di nanya ncing mine. Inung din kpilizu ubelen nimon nyii ari.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Kipin bite di kitene kaneri, kiti kanga na tidin ca nnan tucu ku, Cikilari Yesu Kristi.
21 who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
Ame ma kpiliu nidowo kutyen bite niso nidowo nanga na ana kye nafo kidowon gongong me, kanga na ina kye nin likara lidyya me anan wunno imon vat udak litime.
