Philippians 3
1 For the rest, my brethren, rejoice in [the] Lord: to write the same things to you, to me [is] not irksome, and for you safe.
Mme le fa go ka diregang, ditsala tse di rategang, itumeleng mo Moreneng. Ga nke ke lapisega go lo bolelela se, ebile go lo siametse go se utlwa gangwe le gape.
2 See to dogs, see to evil workmen, see to the concision.
Itlhokomeleng mo bathong ba ba bosula, bao, dintsa tse di diphatsa, ke ba bitsa jalo, ba ba reng lo tshwanetse go rupisiwa gore lo bolokwe.
3 For we are the circumcision, who worship by [the] Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.
Gonne ga se go segwa ga mebele ya rona mo go reirang bana ba Modimo; ke go mo obamela ka mewa ya rona. E ke yone “thupiso” ya boammaaruri. Rona Bakeresete re galalela mo go se Keresete Jesu a se re diretseng ebile re lemoga gore ga re kake ra ithusa go ipoloka.
4 Though I have [my] trust even in flesh; if any other think to trust in flesh, I rather:
Legale fa mongwe a ka bo a kile a nna le mabaka a gore o ka ipoloka, e ka bo e le nna. Fa ba bangwe ba ne ba ka bolokwa ke se ba leng sone, tota ke ka bo ke ipolokile.
5 as to circumcision, [I received it] the eighth day; of [the] race of Israel, of [the] tribe of Benjamin, Hebrew of Hebrews; as to [the] law, a Pharisee;
Gonne ke rupisitswe mo thupisong ya Sejuta fa ke le malatsi a ferabobedi, ke tsaletswe mo lelapeng la Sejuta tota mo lotsong lwa ga Benjamini. Jalo ke ne ke le Mojuta wa Bajuta tota! Mo gongwe ke eng? ke ne ke le leloko la Bafarasai ba ba neng ba le kutlo mo molaong mongwe le mongwe le ngwao ya Sejuta.
6 as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to righteousness which [is] in [the] law, found blameless;
Mme a go boammaruri? Ee, ke ne ke bogisa phuthego thata; mme ke rata go ikobela molao mongwe le mongwe wa Sejuta go fitlhelela kwa bofelong.
7 but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.
Mme dilo tse tsotlhe tse ke kileng ka gopola gore di siame thata, jaanong ke di latlhile gore ke beye tshepo le tsholofelo ya me mo go Keresete a le esi.
8 But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them to be filth, that I may gain Christ;
Ee, sengwe le sengwe ga se na mosola fa se tshwantshanngwa le poelo e e senang theko ya go itse Morena wa me Jesu Keresete. Ke beetse tsotlhe fa thoko, ke di bona e se sepe, gore ke tle ke nne le Keresete,
9 and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which [would be] on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which [is] of God through faith,
ke nne mongwe fela nae, ke sa tlhole ke bona gore ke tshwanetse go bolokwa ka go siama thata kgotsa go obamela melao ya Modimo, fa e se fela ka go ikanya Keresete go mpoloka; gonne tsela ya Modimo ya go re dira gore re nne tshiamo nao e eme mo tumelong, re beile mo go Keresete a le nosi.
10 to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
Mme jaanong ke tlogetse sengwe le sengwe, ke bonye e le yone fela tsela ya go itse Keresete le go lemoga nonofo e kgolo e e mo rudisitseng, le go bona gore go boga le go swa nae go rayang.
11 if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among [the] dead.
Gore e tle e re kgotsa ka mokgwa mongwe ke tle ke nne mo botshelong jo bosha jwa ba ba tshedileng mo baswing.
12 Not that I have already obtained [the prize], or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession [of it], seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus].
Ga ke reye gore ke itekanetse. Ga ke ise ke ithute tsotlhe tse ke tshwanetseng go di ithuta, mme ke lekela pele go fitlhelela letsatsi le ke tlaa bong ke le se Keresete a se mpoloketseng le se o batlang ke nna sone.
13 Brethren, I do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing — forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,
Nnyaa, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, ga ke ise ke nne gotlhe mo ke tshwanetseng go nna gone, mme ke leka ka natla yotlhe go tlhokomela selo se le sengwe fela se: go lebala tse di kwa morago ke lebelela tse di kwa pele.
14 I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.
Ke gagamaletse go fitlha kwa bokhutlong jwa lobelo le go amogela sekgele se Modimo o se re biletsang kwa legodimong ka ntlha ya se Jesu Keresete a se re diretseng.
15 As many therefore as [are] perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you.
Ke solofela gore lotlhe ba lo leng Bakeresete ba ba godileng mo tumelong lo tlaa nna maikutlo a le mangwe le nna mo mabakeng one a, mme fa re sa dumalane mo ntlheng nngwe ke dumela gore Modimo o tlaa lo e tlhalosetsa sentle,
16 But whereto we have attained, [let us] walk in the same steps.
fa lo ikobela boammaaruri jo lo nang najo.
17 Be imitators [all] together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;
Bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, lo nne baetsi ba me mme lo eleng tlhoko ba ba tshelang ka fa sekaong sa me.
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:
Gonne ke lo boleletse gantsi, mme ke bua gape jaanong ka dikeledi mo matlhong a me, go na le ba le bantsi ba ba tsamayang mo tseleng ya Sekeresete mme tota e le baba ba mokgoro wa ga Keresete.
19 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things: )
Bokamoso jwa bone ke tatlhego e e sa khutleng, gonne modimo wa bone ke mpa ya bone: ba ipelafatsa ka se se tshwanetseng go tlhabisa ditlhong; mme se ba akanyang kaga sone fela ke botshelo jwa lefatshe leno.
20 for our commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour,
Mme legae la rona le kwa legodimong, kwa Mmoloki wa rona Morena Jesu Keresete a leng teng; mme ebile re lebeletse go boa ga gagwe a tswa teng koo.
21 who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of [the] power which he has even to subdue all things to himself.
E tlaa re fa a tla o tlaa tsaya mebele e e swang e ya rona, a e fetolele mo mebeleng e e galalelang jaaka wa gagwe, a dirisa nonofo e le nngwe fela e o tlaa e dirisang go tlhabana le sengwe le sengwe gongwe le gongwe.
