Philippians 1

1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:

Jesu Khrih a tyihzawih na ak awm, Paul ingkaw Timote ing, Filipi awh ak awm thlakciimkhqi boeih ingkaw thlangboel ak sawikungkhqi ingkaw bibikung khqi venawh:

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Bawipa Jesu Khrih ingkaw ni Pa Khawsa am qeennaak ingkaw ngaihqepnaak awm seh.

3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,

Nangmih ka nik poek khqi a hoeiawh Khawsa venawh zeelawi kqawn nyng.

4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,

Nangmih boeih aham kak cykcah hoeiawh, awmhly doena cykcah poepa nyng,

5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;

khawnghin ak cyk awhkawng tuh dy awithang leek kqawnnaak awh nami paa thai a dawngawh,

6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Nangmih a venawh ak leek bibi ak tylkung ing Jesu Khrih nyn a pha dy ak soep cana bibi kaw, tice upvoetnaak am awm hy.

7 It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.

Nangmih akawng kai ing vemyihna kak poek ve kai aham thym hy, kak kawlung khuiawh ka nik poek khqi poepa a dawngawh; thiqui ing khihna awm nyng awithang leek ve dyih pyi nyng caksak nyng awm, nangmih taw kai ingkaw Khawsa qeennaak ak pang haihna ni awm u hyk.

8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

Nangmih ve Jesu Khrih a lungnaak ing i ikawmyih tluk ka ni kyngnaak khqi tice Khawsa ing sim hy.

9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

Kak cykcahnaak taw: nangmih a lungnaak ce cyihnaak simnaak ing a be naak khqoet khqoet aham na ni,

10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,

cawh ni ak leek soeih ce ngaih thai unawh Khrih a khawnghi a pha hlan dy coet amak kap cimcaihnaak ing nami awm hly thai,

11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Khrih awhkaw ak law dyngnaak ak thaih ing be kawm u tiksaw - Khawsa a boeimang zoeksangnaak na a awm hly.

12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,

Kak khanawh ik-oeih ak awm ing awithang leek haina maa sak hy, tice koeinaakhqi, sim sak ham ngaih nyng.

13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,

Ahu nataw boei a im ak qehkhqi ingkaw thlang boeih a venawh Khrih aham ni thiqui ing khih na ka awm tice ak ciim na dang hy.

14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

Thiqui ing khih na ka awmnaak a dawngawh, Khrih awh koeinaa thlang ak kuum bet ing Khawsak awi ce qal leeknaak ing kqih kaana khypyi ham thaawmnaak hu uhy.

15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

Thlang a vang ingtaw Khrih ce ytnaak ingkaw kqawnseetnaak doena kqawn pai uhy, cehlai thlangvang bai ingtaw kawlung ak leek soeih taak doena kqawn uhy.

16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;

cekkhqi ing Awithang leek ak kqawn hamna Khawsa ing ve bibi ani pek niti sim unawh lungnaak ak camawh ak kqawn khqi na awm uhy.

17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

Thlangvang ingtaw a tangtang na am bi unawh, nang aw kai aw tinaak kawlung ing suibai ami bai a kawnglamawh awipungnaak ak awm kawina amik sai ni.

18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

Cehlai ikawmyihna a awm? A hqawng na mai awm, atak na mai awm Khrih ce khypyina ak awm ni, cedawngawh kak kaw zeel hy. Oeih, zeel poe kawng nyng.

19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

Cetaw nangmih ak cykcahnaak ing Jesu Khrih Myihla ak pyinaak ak caming, ka venawh ik-oeih ak awm ve ka loetnaak na coeng kaw tice sim nyng.

20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

Am chak qoe ti kawng, tuh awhkawng a poepa na ka pum awh Khrih ve thihnaak ing am awhtaw hqingnaak ing aw zoeksang na awm kaw, tice qehdam doena ngaih-uu nyng.

21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Kai aham ka hqingnaak ve Khrih ni, ka thih awh awm ka hoeihkhangnaak ni.

22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.

Cehlai ka pum awh ve ka hqing poe awhtaw, ka bibinaak ak thaih qah kaw tinaak ni, Cehlai ikaw kak tyk lah voei? Am sim nyng!

23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

Ik-oeih pakkhih anglak lawawh awm hqoeng nyng: kamah ingtaw cet nawh Khrih ing awm haih ngaih bet hawh nyng, ce ce nep bet hy;

24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

cehlai pum awh ka awm ve nangmih aham ngoe hyn hy.

25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,

Awm hyn kawng tice sim nyng, nangmih cangnaak awh nimi taainaak aham nami venawh awm poe kawng nyng ti sim nyng.

26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

Cawh ni nangmih mi ni awm haihnaak ak caming Jesu Khrih awh nami zeelnaak ce kai ak camawh a ngen hly hy.

27 Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

Oeih ikawmyihna awm seiawm, nangmih a khawboe qamlang ce Khrih ak awithang leek ing ang qoep na awm sak uh. Cawhtaw, kai law nyng ka ni huh khqi awh awm, am law nyng nami kawng kang zaak awh awm, kawlung pynoet ing dyi kawm u tiksaw, thlang pynoet amyihna awithang leek cangnaak awh naming dyih hly thai hy,

28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

nangmih anik oelh thlangkhqi ce am kqih voel ti kawm uk ti. A mingmih aming tluk naak aham simnaak taw ve ni, cehlai nangmih taw hul na awm kawm uk ti - Khawsa ing ni hul khqi kaw.

29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,

Amah ce cangnaak aham doeng kaana, anih aham kyinaak huh ham awm Khrih ang zyng na nangmih a venawh peek na awm hawh hy,

30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.

tuh kai ing ka huh kyinaak huh lawt aham nangmih awm awm u hyk ti.
