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.
HENCEFORTH, my brethren, rejoice in our Lord. To write the very same (things) to you, to me is not weariness, because they make you cautious.
2 Yenjen bara ninau. Yenjen anan katwa kananzanga. Yenjen anan molsu nanit.
Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the cutting 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 the circumcision are we, who serve Aloha in the spirit, and glory in Jeshu the Meshiha, and confide not on the flesh.
4 Nanya nane, meng wang wadi nin nayi akone nin katwa kidowo. Nwa dimun wang gbardang.
Yet I may have confidence on the flesh. For if any one consider that his confidence is in the flesh, I more than he.
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 the son of eight days, of the family of Israel, of the tribe of Benyomin, Ebroia of Ebroyee; in the law, Pharisha;
6 Meng wadin lanzun mang ntizu kilari Kutelle uniu kang. Bara katwa kacine nduka, na nwa dinin tanu ba.
in zeal, a persecutor of the church; and in the righteousness of the law, without fault have I been.
7 Ama vat nani inyaghari wadi ukpinu ninghe, nmini na yaun inin imon ihem vat bara Kristi.
But these things which were my gain, I have reckoned loss for the Meshiha;
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,
and I also (still) reckon them all loss, for the grandeur of the knowledge of Jeshu Meshiha my Lord; for whose sake I have lost all things, and have reckoned as dung, that the Meshiha I may gain,
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, which is of the law, but that which is by the faith of the Meshiha, which is righteousness that is from Aloha:
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.
that in it I may know Jeshu, and the power of his resurrection, and have fellowship in his sufferings, and be conformed into his death,
11 nnani men ciro ufitu nnuzu na nan kul.
that any how I may be able to come to the resurrection which is from among 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.
I have not yet received, nor (am I) yet perfected; but I run, that so I may lay hold on that for the sake of which Jeshu the Meshiha hath laid hold on 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.
MY brethren, I think not concerning myself that I have laid hold (of the final prize); but one (thing) I know, that what is behind me I forget, and to that which is before me
14 Ndin sho liti udi duru kiti kanga na ndi ninsu nduru nnan se uduk in yicu Kutelle nanyan Kristi Yesu.
I stretch, and run towards the sign, to obtain the victory of the high vocation of Aloha by Jeshu Meshiha.
15 Vat bite na timal kunju, na ti kpiliza nani. Andi udin kpilizu ugan nbelen nimon imong, Kutelle wang ma dursu fi ining.
Let those, then, who are mature consider these things; and if otherwise you consider, this also will Aloha reveal to you.
16 Vat nani, vat nimon ile na timal duru ining, na timiin inin nin likara.
Nevertheless, that to this we may attain, in one way let us proceed, and with one consent.
17 Piziran iyita nafo meng, linuana, shonon iyizi iyenje gegeme alenge na idin cinju imusun cin ule na anung nase kiti bite.
Be like me, my brethren, and consider them who so walk according to the pattern you have seen in us.
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 there are many who walk otherwise, of whom many times I have told you, but now weeping I tell you, they are adversaries of the cross of the Meshiha;
19 Imalin mine ukulari. Bara Kutelle mine aburi minere, a tikunan nati mine di nanya ncing mine. Inung din kpilizu ubelen nimon nyii ari.
they, whose end is perdition, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is their shame; they, whose mind is in the earth.
20 Kipin bite di kitene kaneri, kiti kanga na tidin ca nnan tucu ku, Cikilari Yesu Kristi.
But our employment is in heaven, and from thence we expect the Saviour, our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,
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 will change the body of our abasement to make (it) in the fashion of his glorious body, according to his great power, by which all is subjected unto him.
