Philippians 3

Finally, 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.

Heoi, e oku teina kia hari i roto i te Ariki. Ki ahau kahore he hoha o te tuhituhi atu i aua mea nei ano ki a koutou; ki a koutou ia hei mea e u ai.

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

Kia tupato ki nga kuri, kia tupato ki nga kaimahi i te kino, kia tupato ki te tapahanga.

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

Ko tatou hoki te kotinga, e mahi nei ki te Atua i runga i te wairua, e whakamanamana nei ki a Karaiti Ihu, kahore nei e u te whakaaro ki te kikokiko.

Though 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:

Otira tera ano ahau e u te whakaaro ki te kikokiko ki te whakaaro tetahi atu tangata he mea tana e u ai tona whakaaro ki te kikokiko, tera atu ano taku.

Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

Ko te kotinga i te ra tuawaru, no te whanau a Iharaira, no te hapu o Pineamine, he Hiperu no nga Hiperu; ki to te ture he Parihi;

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

Mo te ngakau nui ki te Atua, i whakatoi ahau i te hahi; mo te tika, ara mo tera i te ture, kahore he kupu moku.

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

He ahakoa ra, ko nga mea i waiho ra e ahau hei taonga ki ahau, kua kiia ake e ahau hei taonga ki ahau, kua kiia ake e ahau hei rukenga, i te mea ka whakaaro nei ki a te Karaiti.

Yea 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,

Ae ra kiia iho e ahau nga mea katoa hei rukenga, i te mea ka whakaaro nei ki te pai whakaharahara o te matauranga ki a Karaiti Ihu, ki toku Ariki: he whakaaro nei ki a ia i riro ai ena mea katoa oku ki te kore, ae ra kiia iho e ahau hei paru, kia whiwhi ai ahau ki a te Karaiti;

And 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:

Kia kitea ai hoki kei roto ahau i a ia, kahore he tika oku ake, ara he tika i te ture, engari ko tera e na runga ana mai i te whakapono ki a te Karaiti, ko te tika a te Atua na te whakapono.

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

Kia matau ai ahau ki a ia, ki te kaha hoki o tona aranga mai, ki te urunga tahitanga hoki ki ona mamae, he mea whakaahua kia rite ki tona matenga;

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

Me kore ahau e tutuki ki te aranga mai i roto i te hunga mate.

Not 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.

Ehara i te mea kua mau rawa i ahau, kua tino rite ranei ahau: engari e whaia atu ana e ahau, me kore e mau i ahau te mea i mau ai ahau i a Karaiti Ihu.

Brethren, 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,

E oku teina, kahore aku kianga ake kua mau i ahau: kotahi ia taku, wareware ake i ahau nga mea o muri, whatoro tonu atu ki nga mea i mua,

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

Ka tawhai tonu ahau ki te tohu, ki te utu whakahonore o to runga karangatanga a te Atua, i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

Let 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.

Na reira, ko te hunga o tatou kua tino rite, kia penei o tatou whakaaro: a ki te rere ke o koutou whakaaro ki tetahi mea, ma te Atua ano tenei e whakakite ki a koutou.

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

Engari ko te wahi kua taea atu e tatou ko tera ano hei tikanga mo ta tatou haere.

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

Kia rite to koutou ki toku, e oku teina, tirohia hoki te hunga e rite ana te haere ki ta matou kua waiho nei hei tauira mo koutou.

(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:

He tokomaha hoki kei te haere, ka maha nei nga wa i korerotia ai ratou e ahau ki a koutou, a ka korerotia nei inaianei me te tangi ano ahau, he hoa whawhai ratou ki te ripeka o te Karaiti;

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

Ko te tukunga iho ki a ratou he whakangaro, to ratou atua ko te kopu, to ratou kororia hoki kei runga i to ratou whakama, ko nga mea o te whenua ta ratou e whakaaro ai.

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

Ko te rangi ia te wahi i tangata whenua ai tatou: kei reira hoki te Kaiwhakaora e taria atu nei e tatou, te Ariki, a Ihu Karaiti.

Who 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.

Mana nei e whakaahua ke to tatou tinana tutua nei, kia rite ki tona tinana kororia, i runga i te mahinga a tona kaha e taea ai e ia te pehi nga mea katoa ki raro i a ia.
