Filibiya 3
1 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.
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.
2 Yenjen bara ninau. Yenjen anan katwa kananzanga. Yenjen anan molsu nanit.
Watch out for those dogs, those workers of evil, those mutilators of the flesh!
3 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.
For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—
4 Nanya nane, meng wang wadi nin nayi akone nin katwa kidowo. Nwa dimun wang gbardang.
though I myself could have such confidence. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more:
5 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.
circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;
6 Meng wadin lanzun mang ntizu kilari Kutelle uniu kang. Bara katwa kacine nduka, na nwa dinin tanu ba.
as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to righteousness in the law, faultless.
7 Ama vat nani inyaghari wadi ukpinu ninghe, nmini na yaun inin imon ihem vat bara Kristi.
But whatever was gain to me I count as loss for the sake of Christ.
8 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,
More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ
9 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.
and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith.
10 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.
I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to Him in His death,
11 nnani men ciro ufitu nnuzu na nan kul.
and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12 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.
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
13 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.
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
14 Ndin sho liti udi duru kiti kanga na ndi ninsu nduru nnan se uduk in yicu Kutelle nanyan Kristi Yesu.
I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.
15 Vat bite na timal kunju, na ti kpiliza nani. Andi udin kpilizu ugan nbelen nimon imong, Kutelle wang ma dursu fi ining.
All of us who are mature should embrace this point of view. And if you think differently about some issue, God will reveal this to you as well.
16 Vat nani, vat nimon ile na timal duru ining, na timiin inin nin likara.
Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained.
17 Piziran iyita nafo meng, linuana, shonon iyizi iyenje gegeme alenge na idin cinju imusun cin ule na anung nase kiti bite.
Join one another in following my example, brothers, and carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you.
18 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.
For as I have often told you before, and now say again even with tears: Many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
19 Imalin mine ukulari. Bara Kutelle mine aburi minere, a tikunan nati mine di nanya ncing mine. Inung din kpilizu ubelen nimon nyii ari.
Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things.
20 Kipin bite di kitene kaneri, kiti kanga na tidin ca nnan tucu ku, Cikilari Yesu Kristi.
But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 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.
who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.
