< Philippians 3 >

1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me, and is a safeguard for you.
Bhai ashaalongo ajangunji, nng'angalalanje nkulundana na Bhakulungwa. Nne ikandotoya kunjandishilanga indu ila pe ila, pabha shiimpwaanje mmanganyanji.
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
Mwiiteiganje na bhandunji bhaatendanga yangali ya mmbone, bhandunji bha malinga mbwa, bhaakomelesheyanga ga kwaapotekanga bhandunji, gwangali ligongo.
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
Pabha tujalwishe ukoto ni uwe, tukwaatindibhalila a Nnungu kwa Mbumu jwabho na kwiipuna ga lundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu. Wala tukaakulupalila ga nshiilu.
4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
Nkali nne mbingaga, ngunakombola kukulupalila ya nshiilu. Monaga apali mundu akwete ligongo lya kulupalila ya nshiilu, nne njipunda.
5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
Nne punajalwishe lyubha lya nane ngabhelekweje, nne ni jwa a Ishilaeli kabhila ja a Bhenjamini, Nanng'ebhulania jwa Bhaebhulania, ga kagulila shalia ja a Musha, nne Nampalishayo,
6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
natendaga tumbila kwa kaje mpaka nikulipoteka likanisha, na kwa ngani ja uguja gwa kagulila shalia ja a Musha, ngakweteje shilebho.
7 However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
Ikabheje kwa indu inaganishiyaga ya mbwaa nne, njikwibhona nngabha shindu kupunda kwaapinga a Kilishitu.
8 More than that, I count all things to be a loss compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
Elo, nngabha genegope, ikabhe indu yowe ngunakwibhona nngabha shindu, kwa ligongo lya mmbone lya kwaamanya a Kilishitu Yeshu, Bhakulungwa bhangu. Kwa ligongo lya Bhenebho njileka kila shindu, nikwiibhona mbuti mai, nkupinga naapate a Kilishitu,
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;
nilundana nabho kaje. Nne ngunakole aki jipatikana kwa kunda shalia. Ikabheje nnaino njikola aki pungwaakulupalila a Kilishitu, aki jikopoka kwa a Nnungu kwa ligongo lya ngulupai.
10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
Shingupinga naamanye a Kilishitu na kugabhona mashili ga yuka kwabho, na kundikanywa mmboteko yabho nililandanywa nshiwo shabho,
11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
numbe nne ngulikulupalila kuti ng'waga shinyuywe.
12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
Nngabha kuti njimaliya eu njitimilila, ng'oo! Ikabhe ngunatumbila ga mwanja nkupinga mbate shene shiindenda ngamulwe na a Yeshu Kilishitu.
13 Brothers, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forward to the things which are ahead,
Mwashaalongo ajangunji, ngaganishiya kuti mbatile shenesho, ikabheje shingutenda shimo, ngunalibhala gapitile gala, nitumbilila gali mmujo.
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Bhai, ngunatumbila na mwanja kuloya kundumbilile, nkupinga mbate upo injemelwe na a Nnungu kopoka ku nnungu, kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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.
Bhai, uwe tubhowe tukomele mmitima, uwe tuganishiye genego, na ibhaga nnganishiyangaga muna, bhai a Nnungu shibhannanguyanje genego.
16 Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.
Bhai apano putuishile pano tunaleshelele, ikabheje tupunde kwenda mmujo.
17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
Ashaalongo ajangunji, nngaguyanje ingutenda nne, na mwaalolanje bhene bhaakaguyanga gutunnjigenyenje gala.
18 For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ,
Nammalanjilenje genego papagwinji, nnaino ngunakummalanjilanga akuno nilikopoka minyoi kuti, bhandu bhabhagwinji bhanatamangana mbuti bha magongo, bha shiwo sha a Kilishitu munshalabha.
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
Mpelo gwabhonji ni kuobha, na nnungu jwabhonji ni ilokoli ya shiilu, na bhanakwiipunilanga ya tokomala, ibhaganishiyanga ya pa shilambolyope.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
Ikabheje uwe ushilambo gwetu kuuli kunnungu, koposhela kweneko tunakwaalolela kwa lilaka, Bhaatapula na Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu.
21 who will transform our lowly body into the likeness of his glorious body, according to the power by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
Bhaapinga tindiganya iilu yetu yangali mashili ino, nkupinga ilandane na shiilu shabho sha ukonjelo, kwa gene mashiligo shibhaibhishe indu yowe, ibhe muukulungwa gwabho.
