Abhafilipi 3
1 Mbe kubhutelo, bhaili bhani mukondelelwe muli Mumukama. Nitakulola nyako okubhandikila lindi emisango jilya jilya. Amagambo ganu galibhayana omulembe.
Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is not irksome to me, and for you it is safe.
2 Mwikenge na jimbwa. Mwikenge na abhakosi abhabhibhi abhemilimu. Mwikenge nabhanu abhetema tema emibhili jebhwe.
Beware of those that are like dogs, beware of evil doers, beware of the concision.
3 Kulwokubha eswe neswe okutenda. Eswe neswe bhanu echilamya Nyamuanga kulwo Mwoyo. Bhanu echikuya mu Yesu Kristo, na bhanu chitali no obhuigi mumubhili.
For we are of the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit, rejoicing in Christ Jesus, and having no confidence in the flesh.
4 Kulwejo, chisanga aliwo omunu wo okwiikanya omubhili gunu, anye nakatulile okukola kutyo okukila bhona.
Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinks he hath whereof to trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Kunsonga natendelwe kulunaku lwa munana, nebhuwe muluganda lwa Abhaisraeli. Nili wa muluganda lwa Bhenjamini. Nili Mweburania wa Abhaeburania. Okukumisha ubhulengelesi bhwe echilagilo cha Musa, naliga nili Omufarisayo.
having been circumcised on the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of Hebrews, with respect to the law a pharisee,
6 Kulwa amanaga gani nanyasishe Likanisa. Kulwo okubhaya obhulengelesi bwe ebhilagilo, naliga nitali ne echikujusho mubhilagilo.
as to zeal persecuting the church, as to the righteousness of the law blameless: but those things,
7 Nawe kumisango jona jinu nalolele ati jino obwekisi kwanye, nagalolele kuti manu kulwo okumumenya Kristo.
which were once gain to me, I counted loss for Christ.
8 Nichimali emisngo jona enijibhala jitali na mugaso kulwo obhukonde bhwo okumumenya Kristo Omukama wani. Kulwo omwene nisigile emisango jona, enigalola lwa amanu koleleki nimubhone Kristo,
Yea doubtless and I count all but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all, and I account them but dung, that I may gain Christ, and be found in Him,
9 na nibhonekane munda yaye. Nitali no obhulengelesi bhwani omwene okusoka mubhilagilo, tali nili no obhulengelesi bhunu obhusokana ne elikilisha mu Kristo, linu elisoka ku Nyamuanga, eyo obhusimbagililo mulikilisha.
not having my own righteousness which is of the law, but that which is by the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: that I may know Him,
10 Oli anu enenda okumumenya na amanga ago obhusuluko bhwaye no obhumwi obhwa inyako yaye. Enenda okuindulwa na Kristo mu chijejekanyo echo olufu lwaye,
and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death;
11 koleleki nibhe no obhwiikanyo mubhusuluko bhwa abhafu.
if by any means I may attain to the resurrection of the dead:
12 Jitali ati namalile okubhona emisango ejo, amwi ati nabheye mulengelesi mumisango ejo. Nawe enikomesha koleleki nitule okubhona echiyanwa chinu Kristo Yesu amalile okumbonela ingulu yo omwene.
not that I have yet won the prize, or am already perfect: but I press forward to acquire that perfection, for which also I have been apprehended by Christ Jesus.
13 Bhaili bhani, nitakumenya ati namalile okubhona emisangi ejo. Tali enikola omusango gumwi: Againyuma enilabhilwa enilolelela agaimbele.
Brethren, I count not myself to have attained it: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to those before,
14 Enikomesha koleleki nikinge nkundego no okubhona echiyanwa chinene echo okubhilikilwa na Nyamuanga mu Kristo Yesu.
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Bhona bhanu chilamile mukuchungulwa, ni bhusi bhusi chiganilishe kutyo. Ka labha alio omunu undi unu keganilisha kundi ingulu yo omusango gwona gwona, mbe Nyamuanga alilitula abhwelu imbele yemwe ona.
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, attend to this: and if in any thing ye think differently, God will reveal this also unto you.
16 Nolwo jikabha kutyo, omwanya gukakinga, chigendelele imbele okulubhana na intungwa ilya chalubhaga okukingila olyanu.
But in what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
17 Bhaili bhani, ni mundubhe anye. Mubhetegeleshe kwakisi bhanu bhalamile lwakutyo eswe chili.
Brethren, be imitators of me, and observe those that walk as ye have us for an example.
18 Abhafu bhanu bhalamile nibhanu nabhabhwiliye ingulu yebhwe, na enisubha okubhabhwila ni ndililako; abhanu bhafu bhekaye bhali bhasoko bho omusalabha gwa Kristo.
(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: whose end is destruction,
19 Obhutelo bhwebhwe no okunyamuka. Kulwokubha Nyamuanga webhwe ni inda, echisilimu chebhwe chili na jinswalo. Abheganilisha amagambo ge echalo.
whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things) For our conversation is in heaven,
20 Nawe obhwikalo bhwese bhuli mulwile, enu echiikanya niyo ali omwelusi weswe Yesu Kristo.
from whence also we expect the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ: who will change our vile body,
21 Aliindula emibhili jeswe emilenga nijibha lwo ogwaye ogwa likusho; kwo obhutulo bhulya bhulya obhwo kakolela okukama ebhinu bhyona.
that it may be made like his glorious body, according to the energy of his ability to subdue all things to Himself.
