Philippians 3
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
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.
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.
2Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
2Vakai telia ʻae fanga kulī, vakai telia ʻae kau ngāue kovi, vakai telia ʻae kau tuʻusi.
3For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have 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 might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I 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 the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching 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;
6Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in 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 what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
7Ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe ʻaonga kiate au, naʻaku lau ia ko e meʻa ke siʻaki koeʻuhi ko Kalaisi.
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,
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 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:
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 the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto 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;
11If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
11Kapau teu faʻa lavaʻi ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻae toetuʻu mei he mate.
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.
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.
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,
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 toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
14ʻOku ou mafao atu ki he fakaʻilonga, ko e koloa ʻoe ui māʻolunga ʻae ʻOtua ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.
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.
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.
16Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
16Ka ko ia kuo tau lavaʻi, ke tau ʻaʻeva ʻi he meʻa fua pe ko ia, ke tau tokanga ki he meʻa ko ia.
17Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
17E kāinga, ke mou kaunga faʻifaʻitaki kiate au, pea vakai kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻaʻeva ʻo taau mo ʻemau faʻifaʻitakiʻanga kiate kimoutolu.
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(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:
19Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind 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.)
20For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
20He ʻoku ʻi he langi hotau kolo; ʻaia ʻoku tau ʻamanaki mei ai foki ʻae Fakamoʻui, ko e ʻEiki, ko Sisu Kalaisi.
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.
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.
