Filipai 3

1Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.

1KO hono fakaʻosi ʻe hoku kāinga, ke mou fiefia ʻi he ʻEiki. Ko ʻeku tohi ʻae ngaahi meʻa pe ko ia kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai siʻi ko ha fakafiu kiate au, pea ʻoku ʻaonga kiate kimoutolu.

2Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.

2Vakai telia ʻae fanga kulī, vakai telia ʻae kau ngāue kovi, vakai telia ʻae kau tuʻusi.

3For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh—

3He ko e kamu ʻakitautolu, ʻoku tauhi ki he ʻOtua ʻi he laumālie, mo fiefia ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke tau falala ki he kakano.

4though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:

4Ka teu faʻa maʻu nai ʻeau ha falalaʻanga ʻi he kakano. Kapau ʻoku mahalo ʻe ha taha ʻoku ai ha meʻa ʻi he kakano ʻe ʻaonga ʻene falala ki ai, ʻoku lahi kiate au:

5circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

5Naʻe kamu au ʻi hono valu ʻoe ʻaho, mei he hako ʻo ʻIsileli, mei he faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani, ko e Hepelū ʻoe kau Hepelū; pea ʻi he meʻa ʻae fono ko e Fālesi;

6as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless.

6Pea ʻi he fai feinga, ne u fakatanga ʻae siasi; pea ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻoku mei he fono, ne u taʻehala ai.

7But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

7Ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe ʻaonga kiate au, naʻaku lau ia ko e meʻa ke siʻaki koeʻuhi ko Kalaisi.

8Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

8‌ʻIo, ko e moʻoni, pea ʻoku ou lau ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ko e meʻa ke siʻaki koeʻuhi ko hono lelei lahi ʻaupito ʻoe ʻilo ʻo Kalaisi Sisu ko hoku ʻEiki: ʻaia kuo u kātaki ai hono liaki ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ou lau ia ko e kinohaʻa, kae kehe ke u maʻu ʻa Kalaisi,

9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—

9Pea ke ʻilo au ʻiate ia, ʻo ʻikai ʻi heʻeku fakatonuhia ʻaʻaku, ʻaia ʻoku mei he fono ka ko ia ʻoku ʻi he tui kia Kalaisi, ko e fakatonuhia ʻaia ʻoku mei he ʻOtua ʻi he tui:

10that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

10Koeʻuhi ke u ʻiloʻi ia, mo e mālohi ʻo ʻene toetuʻu, peau kau ʻi heʻene ngaahi mamahi, ʻi he fakatatau au ki heʻene pekia;

11that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

11Kapau teu faʻa lavaʻi ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻae toetuʻu mei he mate.

12Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.

12Kae ʻikai hangē kuo u maʻu, pe teu haohaoa eni: ka ʻoku ou tuli atu, koeʻuhi ke u lavaʻi ʻaia kuo lavaʻi ai au foki ʻe Kalaisi Sisu.

13Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,

13‌ʻE kāinga, ʻoku ʻikai teu pehē kuo u lavaʻi: ka ko eni pe taha, ʻoku ou fakangaloʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ki mui, kau mafao atu ki he ngaahi meʻa ki muʻa,

14I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

14‌ʻOku ou mafao atu ki he fakaʻilonga, ko e koloa ʻoe ui māʻolunga ʻae ʻOtua ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.

15Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.

15Ko ia ke loto pehē ʻakitautolu kuo haohaoa: pea kapau ʻoku ai ha meʻa ʻoku mou loto taʻetatau ai, ʻe fakahā foki eni ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.

16Only let us hold true to what we have attained.

16Ka ko ia kuo tau lavaʻi, ke tau ʻaʻeva ʻi he meʻa fua pe ko ia, ke tau tokanga ki he meʻa ko ia.

17Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.

17E kāinga, ke mou kaunga faʻifaʻitaki kiate au, pea vakai kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻo taau mo ʻemau faʻifaʻitakiʻanga kiate kimoutolu.

18For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.

18(He ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻae tokolahi, ʻakinautolu kuo liunga lahi ʻeku lea ai kiate kimoutolu, pea ʻoku ou toe lea ai eni mo tangi, ko e kau fili ʻakinautolu ki he ʻakau ʻo Kalaisi:

19Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

19Ko honau ngataʻanga ko e ʻauha, ʻoku nau ʻotua ʻaki honau kete, ʻo vikiviki ʻi he meʻa fakamā, ʻonau moʻua ki he meʻa fakamama.)

20But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

20He ʻoku ʻi he langi hotau kolo; ʻaia ʻoku tau ʻamanaki mei ai foki ʻae Fakamoʻui,

21who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

21‌ʻAia te ne fakafoʻou hotau sino kovi ni, ʻo fakatatau ia ki he sino ʻo hono nāunau, ʻi he mālohi ko ia ʻaia ʻoku ne mafai ai ke fakamoʻulaloaʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate ia.
