Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tedious, but for you it is safe.
Finalman, frè m yo rejwi nou nan Senyè a! Pou m ekri menm bagay yo ankò pa yon pwoblèm pou mwen, e se yon pwotèj pou nou menm.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
Veye chen yo, veye ouvriye mechan yo, veye fo sikonsizyon an.
3 For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
Paske nou menm se vrè sikonsizyon an, ki adore nan Lespri Bondye a, e bay glwa nan Kris Jésus, e ki pa mete konfyans nan lachè.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath reason to trust in the flesh, I more:
Byenke mwen menm ta kapab gen konfyans menm nan lachè. Si gen nenpòt lòt moun ki gen lide pou mete konfyans li nan lachè, mwen menm bokou plis ke sa:
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; with respect to the law, a Pharisee;
sikonsi nan uityèm jou a, ne nan nasyon Israël la, nan tribi Benjamin an, yon Ebre a Ebre yo; selon Lalwa a, yon Farizyen;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; with respect to the righteousness which is by the law, blameless.
kòm zele, yon pèsekitè legliz la; kòm ladwati ki nan Lalwa a, ki twouve san fot.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Men nenpòt bagay ki te benefis pou mwen, mwen konte bagay sa yo kòm pèt pou koz a Kris la.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them to be dung, that I may win Christ,
Anplis de sa, mwen konte tout bagay kòm pèt an konsiderasyon ak piwo valè ke m konnen Kris Jésus a, Senyè mwen an. Pou Sila mwen te soufri pèt tout bagay yo, e konte yo kòm fatra, pou m kapab genyen Kris.
9 And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:
E pou m ta kab twouve nan Li, pa avèk ladwati pa m, ki sòti nan Lalwa a, men ki soti pa lafwa nan Kris la, ladwati ki sòti nan Bondye sou baz lafwa a.
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death;
Pou mwen kapab konnen Li, ak pouvwa a rezirèksyon Li an, ak lamitye a soufrans li yo, ki fè m konfòme menm a lanmò Li,
11 If by any means I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.
pou m ta kapab rive menm nan rezirèksyon a lanmò a.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I press on, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended by Christ Jesus.
Se pa ke m rive la deja oubyen ke m vin pafè deja, men mwen ap pouse pi rèd pou m kapab rive sou pèfeksyon sa a ki te fè Kris Jésus mete men l sou mwen an.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those things which are before,
Frè m yo, mwen pa gade tèt mwen kòm youn ki rive sou li deja, men yon sèl bagay ke m fè; se bliye sa ki dèyè e lonje pa devan pou sa k ap vini an,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
mwen pouse rive vè objektif la, pou m genyen pri wo apèl Bondyenan Kris Jésus a.
15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye are otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this to you.
Konsa, otan nan nou ki pafè, annou gen menm panse sa a. Epi si nan nenpòt bagay nou pa reflechi konsa Bondye va osi revele sa a nou.
16 Nevertheless, to what we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Sepandan, nan menm fòs ke nou deja reyisi, annou kontinye viv pa menm prensip ke nou fin atenn deja a. Annou toujou gen menm panse.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them who walk even as ye have us for an example.
Frè m yo vin swiv egzanp mwen an, e swiv sila ki mache selon modèl ke nou gen nan nou an.
18 ( For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Paske anpil moun mache, de sila mwen te souvan di nou yo, e koulye a mwen di nou ankò menm avèk dlo nan zye m, ke yo se lènmi lakwa a Kris la,
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
ki gen pou fen, destriksyon, ki gen pou dye pa yo apeti yo, e ki gen pou glwa yo, wont yo, ki fikse panse yo sou bagay tèrès yo.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven; from which also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Paske pou nou menm sitwayènte nou se nan syèl la. E soti nan li menm, n ap tann ak enpasyans yon Sovè, Senyè a, Jésus Kri,
21 Who shall change our lowly body, that it may be fashioned like his glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself.
ki va transfòme move kò sila a, pou l vin konfòme ak kò laglwa pa Li a. Li va fè sa pa egzèsis a pouvwa ke Li genyen pou soumèt tout bagay anba otorite pa L.
