Piripai 3
1 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.
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.
2 Kia tupato ki nga kuri, kia tupato ki nga kaimahi i te kino, kia tupato ki te tapahanga.
Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
3 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.
For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Ruach, and rejoice in Messiah Yeshua, and have no confidence in the flesh;
4 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.
though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
5 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;
circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
6 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.
concerning zeal, persecuting the congregation; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
7 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.
However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Messiah.
8 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;
More than that, I count all things to be a loss compared to the far greater value of knowing Messiah Yeshua, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Messiah
9 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.
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 Messiah, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
10 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;
that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
11 Me kore ahau e tutuki ki te aranga mai i roto i te hunga mate.
if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12 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.
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 Messiah Yeshua.
13 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,
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,
14 Ka tawhai tonu ahau ki te tohu, ki te utu whakahonore o to runga karangatanga a te Atua, i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Messiah Yeshua.
15 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.
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.
16 Engari ko te wahi kua taea atu e tatou ko tera ano hei tikanga mo ta tatou haere.
Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.
17 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.
Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
18 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;
For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Messiah,
19 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.
whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
20 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.
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Yeshua the Messiah;
21 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.
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.
