Philippians 3 ~ Philippians 3

picture

1 F inally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

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.

2 B eware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.

Kia tupato ki nga kuri, kia tupato ki nga kaimahi i te kino, kia tupato ki te tapahanga.

3 F or we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

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.

4 t hough I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

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.

5 c ircumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

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;

6 c oncerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

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.

7 H owever, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.

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.

8 Y es most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

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;

9 a nd be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

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.

10 t hat I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;

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;

11 i f by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Me kore ahau e tutuki ki te aranga mai i roto i te hunga mate.

12 N ot 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 Christ Jesus.

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.

13 B rothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,

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,

14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Ka tawhai tonu ahau ki te tohu, ki te utu whakahonore o to runga karangatanga a te Atua, i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

15 L et us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

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.

16 N evertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule. Let us be of the same mind.

Engari ko te wahi kua taea atu e tatou ko tera ano hei tikanga mo ta tatou haere.

17 B rothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.

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.

18 F or many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,

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;

19 w hose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.

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.

20 F or our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

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.

21 w ho will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

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.
