< Philippians 3 >

1 Finally, brothers of mine, do rejoice in [the] Lord. The same things to write to you to me myself indeed [is] not troublesome, for you however [is] safe.
Heoi, e oku teina kia hari i roto i te Ariki. Ki ahau kahore he hoha o te tuhituhi atu i aua mea nei ano ki a koutou; ki a koutou ia hei mea e u ai.
2 do beware of the dogs, do beware of the evil workers, do beware of the false circumcision;
Kia tupato ki nga kuri, kia tupato ki nga kaimahi i te kino, kia tupato ki te tapahanga.
3 We ourselves for are the circumcision, those in [the] Spirit (of God *N+kO) worshiping and glorying in Christ Jesus and not in [the] flesh having put confidence,
Ko tatou hoki te kotinga, e mahi nei ki te Atua i runga i te wairua, e whakamanamana nei ki a Karaiti Ihu, kahore nei e u te whakaaro ki te kikokiko.
4 though I myself have confidence even in [the] flesh. If any thinks other to have confidence in [the] flesh, I myself more:
Otira tera ano ahau e u te whakaaro ki te kikokiko ki te whakaaro tetahi atu tangata he mea tana e u ai tona whakaaro ki te kikokiko, tera atu ano taku.
5 circumcision on [the] eighth day, of [the] nation of Israel, of [the] tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews, according to [the] Law a Pharisee,
Ko te kotinga i te ra tuawaru, no te whanau a Iharaira, no te hapu o Pineamine, he Hiperu no nga Hiperu; ki to te ture he Parihi;
6 according to (zeal *N+kO) persecuting the church, according to righteousness which [is] in [the] Law having become faultless.
Mo te ngakau nui ki te Atua, i whakatoi ahau i te hahi; mo te tika, ara mo tera i te ture, kahore he kupu moku.
7 But whatever things were to me gain, these I have esteemed because of Christ loss;
He ahakoa ra, ko nga mea i waiho ra e ahau hei taonga ki ahau, kua kiia ake e ahau hei taonga ki ahau, kua kiia ake e ahau hei rukenga, i te mea ka whakaaro nei ki a te Karaiti.
8 But (rather *NK+o) also I count all things loss to be because of which is excelling the knowledge of Christ Jesus the Lord of mine because of whom all things I have lost and esteem [them] rubbish (to be *k) that Christ I may gain
Ae ra kiia iho e ahau nga mea katoa hei rukenga, i te mea ka whakaaro nei ki te pai whakaharahara o te matauranga ki a Karaiti Ihu, ki toku Ariki: he whakaaro nei ki a ia i riro ai ena mea katoa oku ki te kore, ae ra kiia iho e ahau hei paru, kia whiwhi ai ahau ki a te Karaiti;
9 and may be found in Him not having my own righteousness which [is] of [the] Law but that through faith from Christ, the of God righteousness on the basis of faith,
Kia kitea ai hoki kei roto ahau i a ia, kahore he tika oku ake, ara he tika i te ture, engari ko tera e na runga ana mai i te whakapono ki a te Karaiti, ko te tika a te Atua na te whakapono.
10 to know Him and the power of the resurrection of Him and the fellowship of the sufferings of Him being conformed to the death of Him,
Kia matau ai ahau ki a ia, ki te kaha hoki o tona aranga mai, ki te urunga tahitanga hoki ki ona mamae, he mea whakaahua kia rite ki tona matenga;
11 if somehow I shall attain to the resurrection (that *N+kO) (out from *no) [the] dead.
Me kore ahau e tutuki ki te aranga mai i roto i te hunga mate.
12 Not for already I have obtained [it] or already (have been perfected, *NK+O) I am pursuing however if even I shall grasp of that for which also I was grasped by Christ Jesus.
Ehara i te mea kua mau rawa i ahau, kua tino rite ranei ahau: engari e whaia atu ana e ahau, me kore e mau i ahau te mea i mau ai ahau i a Karaiti Ihu.
13 Brothers, I myself myself (not *NK+o) do consider to have grasped [it]; One thing however: The [things] indeed behind forgetting, to the [things] however ahead reaching forward,
E oku teina, kahore aku kianga ake kua mau i ahau: kotahi ia taku, wareware ake i ahau nga mea o muri, whatoro tonu atu ki nga mea i mua,
14 toward [the] goal I press on (for *N+kO) the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Ka tawhai tonu ahau ki te tohu, ki te utu whakahonore o to runga karangatanga a te Atua, i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.
15 As many as therefore [are] mature, this [way] we may reason; and if anything differently you reason, even this God to you will reveal;
Na reira, ko te hunga o tatou kua tino rite, kia penei o tatou whakaaro: a ki te rere ke o koutou whakaaro ki tetahi mea, ma te Atua ano tenei e whakakite ki a koutou.
16 Nevertheless to that which we have attained, by the same [we are] to walk (rule [and] by the same reasoning. *K)
Engari ko te wahi kua taea atu e tatou ko tera ano hei tikanga mo ta tatou haere.
17 Imitators together of me do be, brothers, and do observe those thus walking even as you have [for] a pattern us.
Kia rite to koutou ki toku, e oku teina, tirohia hoki te hunga e rite ana te haere ki ta matou kua waiho nei hei tauira mo koutou.
18 Many for are walking — [of] whom often I was telling you, now indeed even weeping I say — [as] the enemies of the cross of Christ,
He tokomaha hoki kei te haere, ka maha nei nga wa i korerotia ai ratou e ahau ki a koutou, a ka korerotia nei inaianei me te tangi ano ahau, he hoa whawhai ratou ki te ripeka o te Karaiti;
19 whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is] the belly and glory [is] in the shame of them, those [things] earthly minding.
Ko te tukunga iho ki a ratou he whakangaro, to ratou atua ko te kopu, to ratou kororia hoki kei runga i to ratou whakama, ko nga mea o te whenua ta ratou e whakaaro ai.
20 Of us for the citizenship in [the] heavens exists from whence also a Savior we are awaiting [the] Lord Jesus Christ,
Ko te rangi ia te wahi i tangata whenua ai tatou: kei reira hoki te Kaiwhakaora e taria atu nei e tatou, te Ariki, a Ihu Karaiti.
21 who will transform the body of the humiliation of us (toward to become it *K) conformed to the body of the glory of Himself according to the working enabling Him even to subdue (to Him *N+kO) all things.
Mana nei e whakaahua ke to tatou tinana tutua nei, kia rite ki tona tinana kororia, i runga i te mahinga a tona kaha e taea ai e ia te pehi nga mea katoa ki raro i a ia.
