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 Kon nag samay bokk, bégleen ci Boroom bi. Duma sonn mukk ci di leen ko wax, ndax seen mucc moo ci aju.

²Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

² Moytuleen xaj yi, waaw moytuleen ñiy jëfe lu bon, ñoom ñi seen xarafal weesul wàññi yaramu nit.

³For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

³ Ndaxte nun noo xaraf tigi, nun ñiy màggal Yàlla ci Xel mu Sell mi, di damu ci Kirist Yeesu, te amunu jenn yaakaar ci matug nit.

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 Ba tey manoon naa am yaakaar ci sama bopp; su nit doon damu, maa ciy raw.

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 Xarafoon naa ca ayu-bés ga, bokk ci bànni Israyil ci giiru Ben-yamin, di Ibrë ci deret ak ci meen. Bu dee ci yoonu Musaa ngeen bëgg a wax, ci tariixab Farisen laa bokkoon;

⁶Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

⁶ bu dee it ci mbirum farlu, daan naa fitnaal mbooloom ñi gëm Kirist; bu dee ci njub ci sàmm yoon, awma benn gàkk.

⁷But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

⁷ Waaye loolu lépp lu ma tegoon ay njariñ fa kanam Yàlla, dëddu naa ko ngir Kirist.

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 Rax-ca-dolli dëddu naa lépp ngir xéewali xam Kirist Yeesu sama Boroom, di xam-xam bu xóot, ba xel mënu koo takk. Moo tax ñàkk naa sama lépp, te def ko ni mbalit, ngir am cér ci Kirist.

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 Na ma Yàlla fekk ci moom, waxuma ci njub gu aju ci sàmm yoon, waaye gu aju ci gëm Kirist, maanaam njub gi nu Yàlla sol ci kaw ngëm.

¹⁰That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

¹⁰ Moom laay ittewoo xam, ak doole ji ànd ak ndekkiteem, ma bokk ci ay coonoom, ba fekki ko ci deeyam,

¹¹If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

¹¹ ngir man a séddu ci ndekkiteem, su ma ko manee am.

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 Waxuma ne jagoo naa ko ba noppi, waxuma it ne aji mat laa, waaye maa ngi daw, ngir jot li tax Kirist jël ma.

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 Bokk yi, gëmuma ne jot naa ko ba noppi, waaye lenn lii laay def: fàtte li ma weesu, jublu ci li féete kanam,

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

¹⁴ di daw yen muj ga, ngir jot li ma Yàlla tax a woo, di cér bi ma Yàlla wooye te dencal ma ko ci asamaan ci darajay Kirist Yeesu.

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 Nun ñi mat nag, nanu xalaat loolu. Te su ngeen ci amee werantey xol, Yàlla dina leen ko leeralal.

¹⁶Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

¹⁶ Li am daal, fa seen ngëm tolloo, na fa seen jëf àgg.

¹⁷Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

¹⁷ Kon nag bokk yi, toppleen ma te xool ñiy roy ci li nu tëral diirub sunu ngan ci yéen.

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 Ndaxte jëfi ñu bare juuyoo na ak dee gi Kirist dee; loolu wax naa leen ko ba tàyyi, maa ngi koy waxaat léegi ak i jooy.

¹⁹Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

¹⁹ Alku lañuy mujje, ñoom ñiy jaami seen biir, di wonoo lu ruslu, tey wut yëfi àddina rekk.

²⁰For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

²⁰ Waaye nun waa asamaan lanu, te noo ngi xaar Boroom bi Yeesu Kirist jóge fa, musalsi nu.

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 Noonu dina soppi sunu yaram wu toroxlu, def ko ni yaramam wi ànd ak ndam dëppook kàttanam, gi ko man a nootal mbindeef yépp.
