Philippians 3
1 To sum up: my dear friends, delight in the Lord! It's not a burden for me to repeat these things to you—it's to keep you 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 Watch out for the wolves, those who do evil, those who insist on physical circumcision—
Yenjen bara ninau. Yenjen anan katwa kananzanga. Yenjen anan molsu nanit.
3 for it's we who are truly circumcised, worshiping by the Spirit of God, placing our assurance in Christ Jesus. We have no confidence in human abilities—
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 for if there was a way to rely on human nature then I myself could have that confidence! If anyone thinks they have confidence in such human things, then I outdo them:
Nanya nane, meng wang wadi nin nayi akone nin katwa kidowo. Nwa dimun wang gbardang.
5 I was circumcised on the eighth day, I'm an Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin, a true Hebrew. Regarding legal observance I'm 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 as for religious dedication I was a persecutor of the church; while in regard to doing right according to the law I was blameless!
Meng wadin lanzun mang ntizu kilari Kutelle uniu kang. Bara katwa kacine nduka, na nwa dinin tanu ba.
7 But in whatever way such things gained me anything, I count them as a loss for Christ.
Ama vat nani inyaghari wadi ukpinu ninghe, nmini na yaun inin imon ihem vat bara Kristi.
8 Truly, I count everything as loss in exchange for the incredible benefit I've gained through knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I've thrown away all these things for him, and consider them trash, so that I might 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 I want to be found in him, not being right because of what I've done, or what the law requires, but made right through confidence in Christ, set right by God through trusting in him.
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 I want to really know him, and the power of his resurrection—to take part in his suffering and become like him in 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 so that somehow I might be part of the resurrection from the dead!
nnani men ciro ufitu nnuzu na nan kul.
12 Not that I've already got it all, or that I'm already perfect—but I run so that I might win what was won for me 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 My friends, I don't consider that I've already won, but this is my one objective: disregarding what is behind me, I strain forward to what is in front of me.
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 run towards the finish line to win the prize of God's invitation to heaven through Christ Jesus.
Ndin sho liti udi duru kiti kanga na ndi ninsu nduru nnan se uduk in yicu Kutelle nanyan Kristi Yesu.
15 Those of us who are spiritually mature should think like this, and if you think anything different, then God will reveal this 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 We just need to make sure that we follow what we already have understood.
Vat nani, vat nimon ile na timal duru ining, na timiin inin nin likara.
17 My friends, copy my example as others do and take note of the way to behave since you have us as a model.
Piziran iyita nafo meng, linuana, shonon iyizi iyenje gegeme alenge na idin cinju imusun cin ule na anung nase kiti bite.
18 The way some people live makes them enemies of the cross of Christ—as I've often told you before and repeat again though it pains me so much I want to weep.
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 They will end up being completely lost, these people whose “god” is their physical desires and who are proud of what they should be ashamed of, thinking only about the things of this world.
Imalin mine ukulari. Bara Kutelle mine aburi minere, a tikunan nati mine di nanya ncing mine. Inung din kpilizu ubelen nimon nyii ari.
20 But our homeland is heaven, and we're waiting for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from there too.
Kipin bite di kitene kaneri, kiti kanga na tidin ca nnan tucu ku, Cikilari Yesu Kristi.
21 He will re-create our defective human bodies so that they will be made like his glorious body using the power by which he brings everything under his control.
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.
