1Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
1 Ay nya-izey, haŋ kaŋ cindi kaŋ ay ga ba ay ma ci araŋ se neeya: araŋ ma farhã Rabbi ra. Kaŋ ay ga ye ka hayey din hantum araŋ se, manti kankami hari no ay se, amma a go araŋ hallasiyaŋ se.
2Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
2 Araŋ ma haggoy da goy laalo teekoy, araŋ ma haggoy da ngey kaŋ ga ti hansey, araŋ ma haggoy da borey kaŋ ga gaaham dumbu.
3For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
3 Zama iri no ga ti dambangantey, iri kaŋ goono ga sududu Irikoy Biya ra ka farhã Almasihu Yesu ra. Iri sinda mo gaaham do naanay,
4Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
4 baa kaŋ ay gonda gaaham do naanay daliili. Da boro fo ga miila nga gonda gaaham do naanay daliili, ay wo du ka bis'a.
5Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
5 Zaari ahakkanta no i n'ay dambangu*, Israyla* asuli* gaa no ay fun, Benyamin kunda ra, Ibrani boro nya hala baaba. Asariya* ciine ra, ay wo Farisi fonda boro no.
6Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
6 Ay na anniya haw hal ay na Almasihu* marga gurzugandi. Adilitaray ciine ra mo (sanda asariya wano do), ay sinda taali.
7But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
7 Kulu nda yaadin, hayey kaŋ ga ti riiba ay se doŋ, woodin yaŋ ay n'i lasaabu mursay Almasihu sabbay se.
8Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
8 Oho, haciika ay goono ga hay kulu lasaabu mursay Almasihu Yesu ay Rabbo bayyaŋo sabbay se kaŋ bisa hay kulu. A sabbay se mo no ay na hay kulu himandi yaamo. Ay g'i lasaabu mo sanda kwaara banda cine zama ay ma du Almasihu,
9And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
9 hala mo ay ma bara a ra da adilitaray kaŋ fun Irikoy do cimbeero boŋ. Adilitaray wo, manti ay bumbo wano kaŋ fun asariya ganayaŋ do. Amma nga ga ti adilitaray kaŋ boro ga du Almasihu ra cimbeeri do.
10That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
10 Ay ga ba ay ma du ka Almasihu bay gumo, da Irikoy dabaro kaŋ n'a tunandi ka kaa buukoy game ra. Ay ga ba mo ay ma furo a gurzugayey ra, i m'ay himandi nda Almasihu a buuyaŋo ra.
11If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
11 Zama mate kaŋ no kulu ay ma to bu-ka-tun gaa ka fun buukoy game ra.
12Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
12 Manti danga ay jin ka to no, wala danga Irikoy jin k'ay toonandi no bo, amma ay goono ga anniya haw hal ay ma du ka haya di kaŋ sabbay se Almasihu Yesu jin k'ay di.
13Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
13 Nya-izey, ay bumbo, ay mana lasaabu kaŋ ay jin ka du a bo, amma hari folloŋ no ay goono ga te: ay go ga dinya hayey kaŋ yaŋ go banda ka kookari ka to wo kaŋ yaŋ go jina gaa.
14I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
14 Ay goono ga zuru zama ay ma du alhakko. Alhakko wo ga ti Irikoy beene ceeyaŋ wano, kaŋ go Almasihu Yesu ra.
15Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
15 Iri binde, iri kulu kaŋ ga ti toonanteyaŋ, kala iri ma miila yaadin. D'araŋ di hay fo araŋ laakaley ra mo kaŋ waan'a, baa woodin Irikoy g'a bangandi araŋ se.
16Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
16 Kala day nango kaŋ iri jin ka to din, iri ma soobay k'iri diraw te yaadin.
17Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
17 Nya-izey, araŋ kulu, araŋ ma goro care banda ay dondonkoyaŋ. Araŋ ma laakal da borey mo kaŋ yaŋ goono ga dira iri alhaalo boŋ.
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:
18 Zama boro boobo goono ga dira kaŋ ibareyaŋ no Almasihu kanjiyaŋ bundo se. Ay binde n'i baaru ci araŋ se sorro boobo. Baa sohõ mo ay goono g'a ci araŋ se da mo-mundi.
19Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
19 Borey din mo, i bananta ga ti halaciyaŋ. I irikoyo ga ti i gundey. I darza go i haawi ra. I goono ga laakal mo da ndunnya hayey.
20For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
20 Amma iri wo beene boroyaŋ no. Iri goono ga batu mo iri Faabakwa ma fun noodin, nga Rabbi Yesu Almasihu.
21Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
21 A g'iri gaahamey kaŋ ga ti kayna wane yaŋ bare zama a m'i te danga nga gaaham darzanta cine. A ga woodin te nga dabaro ra kaŋ do a ga hayey kulu daŋ nga boŋ mayra cire.
