Philippians 3
1 For the rest, my brethren—rejoice in the Lord. To be writing, the same things, unto you, to me, is not irksome, while, for you, is safe: —
Ichamamanino nobakwesu, amubotelwe muMwami. Nkambo kuti ndimulembele lubo zintu ezi teensi penzi pe kulindime, alimwi chilandikwabilila.
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of mischievous workers, beware of the mutilation;
Amuchenjelele bankala. Amuchenjelele aabo babelesi babisyi. Amuchenjelele zikonzya kumuchelezya.
3 For, we, are the circumcision, who in the Spirit of God, are doing divine service, and are boasting in Christ Jesus, and, not in flesh, having confidence, —
Nkambo ndiswe bapalwidwe — abo bakomba a Muuya wa Leza, alimwi balamantukwe muli Kkilisito Jesu, alimwi tatukwe lusyomo kunyama.
4 Although, indeed, I, might have confidence even in flesh. If any other thinketh to have confidence in flesh, I, more: —
Nikuba boobo, ime lwangu ndakonzya kusyoma kunyama. Kuti kaliwo umwi muntu uyeeya kuti ulasyoma kunyama, ime ndikonzya kusyoma kwindilila.
5 Circumcised, the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, —regarding law, a Pharisee,
Ndakapalulwa mubuzuba bwamusanu amazuba ootatwe, kubantu ba Izilayeli, kumusyobo waba Bbenjamini, mu Hibbulu waba Hibbulu; mbuli mukulemukezya mulawo, mufalisi.
6 Regarding zeal, persecuting the assembly, regarding the righteousness that is in law, having become blameless.
Ndakasungwala chenguzu kukupenzya imbungano. Alimwi kumakani aabusalali kumulawu, tendakalikwe mulandu.
7 But, whatever things, unto me, were gain, the same, have I accounted, for the Christ’s sake, loss;
Pesi zyoonse zintu zyakali mpindu kulindime, ndazibona kakuli kuswekelwa akambo ka Kkilisito.
8 Yea, doubtless! and I account all things to be, loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom, the loss, of all things, have I suffered, and do account them refuse, in order that, Christ, I may win,
Isimpe nkuti, lino ndibona zyoonse mbuli mayabwe nkambo kabukkolokolo bwaluzibo lwa Kkilisito Jesu Mwami wangu. Nkambo kakwe ndisiya zyoonse zintu - alimwi ndazibona mbuli tombe - kuchitila kuti ndijane Kkilisito
9 And be found in him—not having a righteousness of my own, that which is by law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is, of God, upon my faith, —
akuti ndijanike mulinguwe, akuti nsijaniki aabusalali bwakulichitila kumulawu, pesi kuti eezyo zizwa mukusyoma kuli Kkilisito - ibusalali buzwa kuli Leza uuli lusyomo lwangu.
10 To get to know him, and the power of his resurrection and fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death, —
Nkambo lino ndiyanda kumuziba anguzu zyakubuka kwakwe abuzolwani bwa koomba kwakwe akubuka mbuli nguwe kulufu lwakwe.
11 If by any means I may advance to the earlier resurrection, which is from among the dead:
Kuchitila kuti mulimwinzila ndikakonzye kubuka kuzwa kubafu.
12 Not that I have, already, received, or have, already, reached perfection, but I am pressing on—if I may even lay hold of that for which I have also been laid hold of by Christ [Jesus]: —
Teensi kwaamba kuti ndazijana kale pe zintu eezi, kana kuti ndili libambilide kumaninina, pesi ndilipeda kukujatilila kuli eecho nchindakabwezelwa kuti ndijate a Kkilisito Jesu.
13 Brethren! I, as to myself, reckon that I have, not yet, laid hold; one thing, however, —the things behind, forgetting, and, unto the things before, eagerly reaching out,
Nobakwesu, nsiyeeyi kuti ime lwangu ndakachijatilila kale pe, Pesi chintu chomwe nchindichita: Nkuluba echo chakiinda akunangatila eecho chili kunembo.
14 With the goal in view, I press on for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Ndijatisya kuya kunembo kubulangizi nkelamuzeezo wakujana lwiito lwa Leza undinyampula muli Kkilisito Jesu.
15 As many, therefore, as are full-grown, let, this, be our resolve; and, if, somewhat differently, ye are resolved, this, also, shall, God, unto you reveal.
Toonse swebo nitwakakkomena, atuyeye boobu. Alimwi kuti chimwi chintu wachiyeeya busiyene, alimwi Leza ulachiyubununa kuli nduwe.
16 Nevertheless, whereunto we have advanced, in the same rank, stepping along.
Muliimwi inzila, kumaboneno aachecho nchitwajana, atubambe nguyooyo mweelo wachiimo.
17 Imitators together of me, become ye, brethren, and keep an eye on them who, thus, are walking, —even as ye have, us, for, an ensample.
Amundiiye, nobakwesu. Amulangisisye aabo bayobwenda muchikkozyano nchimulacho muli ndiswe.
18 For, many, are walking—of whom I have often been telling you, and, now, even weeping, am telling, —the enemies of the cross of the Christ;
Mbiingi bayobwenda - aabo mbindikkala nkemwambila atala ambabo, alimwi lino ndikumwambila akulila - mbuli basinkondonyina baachingano cha Kkilisito.
19 Whose, end, is destruction, whose, God, is the belly, and [whose], glory, is in their shame, who, upon the earthly things, are resolved.
Imagolelo aabo nkunyonyooka. Nkambo leza wabo mbula bwabo, alimwi bulemu bwabo buli mukuusa kwabo. Bayeeya zintu zyanyika.
20 For, our citizenship, in the heavens, hath its rise; wherefore, a Saviour also, do we ardently await, —The Lord Jesus Christ, —
Pesi ibukkale bwesu bulikujulu, ooko nkutulindide Mufutuli kuti azobole, i Mwami Jesu Kkilisito.
21 Who will transfigure our humbled body, into conformity with his glorified body, according to the energy wherewith he is able even to subdue, unto himself, all things.
Uyosandula mibili yesu myuuba akayichite mibili ilengedwe mbuli wakwe mubili wabulemu, uubumbidwe abupati bwanguzu zyakwe kuti zintu zyoonse zilangane aanguwe.
