¹Finally, 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.

¹[Anatra nataon'i Paoly mba tsy haneken'ny Filipiana izay mpampianatra sandoka, fa hitady handroso amin'ny fitondran-tena tsara rehetra] Farany, ry rahalahy, mifalia ao amin'ny Tompo. Tsy manahirana ahy ny manoratra teny averina, fa mahatsara anareo izany. [ Na: veloma]

²Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.

²Tandremo ny tenanareo amin'ny amboa, tandremo ny tenanareo amin'ny mpanao ratsy, tandremo ny tenanareo amin'ny voakilema.

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

³Fa isika no voafora, izay manompo amin'ny Fanahin'Andriamanitra ary manao an'i Kristy Jesosy ho reharehantsika ka tsy mitoky amin'ny nofo;

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

⁴kanefa mba manana izay hitokiako amin'ny nofo ihany aho. Raha misy olona hafa manao hitoky amin'ny nofo, mainka fa izaho;

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

⁵fa voafora tamin'ny andro fahavalo aho, avy amin'ny fototr'isiraely, dia avy amin'ny firenen'i Benjamina; Hebreo sady avy amin'ny Hebreo aho; araka ny lalàna, dia Fariseo;

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

⁶araka ny zotom-po, dia nanenjika ny fiangonana; araka ny fahamarinana avy amin'ny lalàna, dia tsy nanan-tsiny. [ Gr. eklesia]

⁷However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.

⁷Nefa izay azoko ho tombony dia nataoko fatiantoka kosa noho ny amin'i Kristy.

⁸Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be 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

⁸Eny tokoa, fa ataoko ho fatiantoka avokoa ny zavatra rehetra noho ny fihoaran'ny hatsaran'ny fahalalana an'i Kristy Jesosy Tompoko, Izay niaretako ny fatiantoka ny zavatra rehetra, ka ataoko ho taimboraka ireny mba hahazoako an'i Kristy;

⁹and 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;

⁹ary mba ho hita ao aminy aho tsy manana ny fahamarinako, izay avy amin'ny lalàna, fa izay avy amin'ny finoana an'i Kristy, dia ny fahamarinan'Andriamanitra amin'ny finoana;

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

¹⁰eny, mba ho fantatro Izy sy ny herin'ny fitsanganany tamin'ny maty ary ny fiombonana amin'ny fijaliany ka hampitovina amin'ny endriky ny fahafatesany,

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

¹¹raha mba misy hahatratrarako ny fitsanganana amin'ny maty.

¹²Not 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.

¹²Tsy toy ny efa nahazo sahady aho, na efa tanteraka sahady; fa miezaka aho hihazona izay nihazonan'i Kristy Jesosy ahy.

¹³Brothers, 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,

¹³Ry rahalahy, tsy mbola ataoko fa efa nahazo ny tenako; fa zavatra iray loha no ataoko; manadino izay zavatra ao aoriana ka miezaka hanatratra izay zavatra eo aloha, [ Na: (tsy nataoko)]

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

¹⁴eny, miezaka hanatratra ny marika aho hahazoako ny lokan'ny fiantsoan'Andriamanitra any ambony ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy. [ Na: ho any ambony]

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

¹⁵Koa aoka isika rehetra izay tanteraka hihevitra izany; fa hasehon'Andriamanitra aminareo izany, raha sendra manana sain-kafa ianareo.

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

¹⁶Kanefa aoka ho amin'ilay efa azontsika sahady no mbola hizorantsika.

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

¹⁷Ry rahalahy, aoka samy hanahaka ahy ianareo, ka diniho izay mandeha tahaka ny anananareo anay ho marika.

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

¹⁸Fa maro no mandeha, izay efa nolazaiko taminareo matetika, sady mbola lazaiko aminareo amin'ny fitomaniana koa ankehitriny, fa fahavalon'ny hazo fijalian'i Kristy ireny;

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

¹⁹fahaverezana no hiafarany, ny kibony no andriamaniny, ny fahamenarany no voninahiny, fa misaina ny amin'ny tany izy.

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

²⁰Fa ny fanjakantsika dia any an-danitra, ary avy any koa no iandrasantsika Mpamonjy, dia Jesosy Kristy Tompo,Izay hanova ny tenan'ny fietren-tenantsika ka hitovy endrika amin'ny tenan'ny voninahiny, araka ny fiàsan'ny heriny, izay ahaizany hampanaiky ny zavatra rehetra ho Azy.

²¹who 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.

²¹Izay hanova ny tenan'ny fietren-tenantsika ka hitovy endrika amin'ny tenan'ny voninahiny, araka ny fiàsan'ny heriny, izay ahaizany hampanaiky ny zavatra rehetra ho Azy.
