1 S o now, my Christian brothers, be happy because you belong to Christ. It is not hard for me to write the same things to you. It is good for you.

Walaalahayow, ugu dambaysta, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Rabbiga ku farxa. Sida xaqiiqadaa anigu inaan isla wixii idiin soo qoro dhib iguma aha, laakiinse idinka way idiin roon tahay.

2 W atch out for false teachers. Watch out for sinful men. They want you to depend on the religious act of becoming a Jew for your hope.

Eeyaha iska jira, oo iska jira kuwa sharka sameeya, oo iska jira gudniinta beenta ah,

3 T he act of becoming a Jew has nothing to do with us becoming Christians. We worship God through His Spirit and are proud of Jesus Christ. We have no faith in what we ourselves can do.

waayo, innagu waxaynu nahay kuwa gudan oo Ruuxa Ilaah ku caabuda, oo Ciise Masiix ku faana, oo aan jidhkana ku kalsoonayn,

4 I could have reason to trust in the flesh. If anyone could feel that the flesh could do something for him, I could.

in kastoo aan aniga qudhayduba jidhka ku kalsoonahay, haddii nin u malaynayo inuu jidhka ku kalsoon yahay anigu waan ka sii daranahay.

5 I went through the religious act of becoming a Jew when I was eight days old. I was born a Jew and came from the family group of Benjamin. I was a Jewish son of Jewish parents. I belonged to the group of the proud religious law-keepers.

Aniga waxaa lay guday maalintii siddeedaad, oo waxaan ahay jinsiga reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxaan ka ahay qabiilka Benyaamiin, oo waxaan ahay Cibraani ka mid ah Cibraaniyada; oo xagga sharcigana waxaan ahay Farrisi;

6 I followed my religion with all my heart and did everything I could to make it hard for the church. No one could say anything against the way I obeyed the Law. Christ Must Be Lord of Our Lives

xagga qiiradana waxaan ahaa mid silcin jiray kiniisadda, xagga xaqnimada sharciga ku jirtana waxaan ahaa eedlaawe.

7 B ut I gave up those things that were so important to me for Christ.

Habase yeeshee waxyaalihii faa'iidada ii ahaa kuwaas Masiixa aawadiis ayaan khasaare ku tiriyey.

8 E ven more than that, I think of everything as worth nothing. It is so much better to know Christ Jesus my Lord. I have lost everything for Him. And I think of these things as worth nothing so that I can have Christ.

Runtii anigu wax kasta ayaan khasaare ku tirinayaa wanaagga aqoonta aan aqaan Rabbigayga Ciise Masiix aawadiis, kaas oo aan aawadiis wax kasta ugu khasaaray, oo haatan waxaan ku tirinayaa inay yihiin qushaash inaan Masiix faa'iido ahaan u helo

9 I want to be as one with Him. I could not be right with God by what the Law said I must do. I was made right with God by faith in Christ.

oo isaga dhexdiisa layga helo, anigoo aan lahayn xaqnimo tayda ah, taas oo sharciga laga helo, laakiinse anigoo leh tan laga helo rumaysadka Masiixa, taas oo ah xaqnimada xagga Ilaah rumaysadka lagaga helo,

10 I want to know Him. I want to have the same power in my life that raised Jesus from the dead. I want to understand and have a share in His sufferings and be like Christ in His death.

inaan ogaado isaga iyo xoogga sarakiciddiisa iyo wadawadaagidda xanuunsigiisa, anigoo isaga xagga dhimashadiisa ugu ekaanaya,

11 T hen I may be raised up from among the dead.

si kasta ha ahaatee haddii aan gaadhi karo sarakicidda kuwii dhintay.

12 I do not say that I have received this or have already become perfect. But I keep going on to make that life my own as Christ Jesus made me His own.

Mana aha inaan hore u helay amase hore la ii kaamilay, laakiinse waan ku sii dadaalayaa inaan qabsado wixii Ciise Masiix ii qabtay.

13 N o, Christian brothers, I do not have that life yet. But I do one thing. I forget everything that is behind me and look forward to that which is ahead of me.

Walaalahayow, anigu ku tirin maayo inaan aniga qudhaydu weli qabsaday, laakiinse wax keliya ayaan samaynayaa, waxyaalihii iga dambeeyey intaan illoobo ayaan waxaan laacayaa waxyaalaha iga horreeya.

14 M y eyes are on the crown. I want to win the race and get the crown of God’s call from heaven through Christ Jesus.

Anigu waxaan dadaal ugu roorayaa xagga goolka iyo ilaa abaalgudka yeedhista sare oo Ilaah oo ah xagga Ciise Masiix.

15 A ll of us who are full-grown Christians should think this way. If you do not think this way, God will show it to you.

Sidaas daraaddeed in alla inteennii kaamil ahu aan sidaas ku fikirno, oo haddii aad si kala duwan wax kaga fikirtaan, xataa waxaas Ilaah baa idiin muujin doona.

16 S o let us keep on obeying the same truth we have already been following.

Laakiin wixii aynu hore u gaadhnay, isla waxaas aynu ku soconno.

17 C hristian brothers, live your lives as I have lived mine. Watch those who live as I have taught you to live.

Walaalayaalow, idinku kulligiin igu wada dayda, oo u fiirsada kuwa sidaas u socda xataa sidaad annaga masaal noogu haysataan. Cadaawayaasha Iskutallaabta Masiixa

18 T here are many whose lives show they hate the cross of Christ. I have told you this before. Now I tell you again with tears in my eyes.

Waayo, waxaa jira kuwa badan oo socda oo aan marar badan wax idiinka sheegay, oo aan haddana anigoo ooyaya idiin sheegayo inay yihiin cadaawayaasha iskutallaabta Masiixa,

19 T heir god is their stomach. They take pride in things they should be ashamed of. All they think about are the things of this world. In the end they will be destroyed.

oo kuwaas dhammaadkoodu waa halligaad, ilaahooduna waa caloosha, ammaantooduna waxay ku jirtaa ceebtooda, oo waxay ka fikiraan waxyaalaha dunida.

20 B ut we are citizens of heaven. Christ, the One Who saves from the punishment of sin, will be coming down from heaven again. We are waiting for Him to return.

Laakiinse innaga waddaninimadeennu waxay ku jirtaa jannada halkaasoo aynu weliba ka sugayno Badbaadiye kaas oo ah Rabbi Ciise Masiix.

21 H e will change these bodies of ours of the earth and make them new. He will make them like His body of shining-greatness. He has the power to do this because He can make all things obey Him.

Isagu wuxuu beddeli doonaa jidhkeenna liita inuu u ekaado jidhkiisa ammaanta leh, oo wuxuu ku beddelayaa xoogga uu isagu ku awoodo inuu wax kastaba isaga hoosaysiiyo.
