< Philippians 2 >

1 If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
Khrih dongah thaphohnah khat khat a om van akhaw, lungnah dongkah suemnah khat khat a om akhaw, mueihla dongah rhoinaengnah khat khat a om akhaw, sitlohnah neh sitlohnah khat khat a om akhaw,
2 make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
amah thikat la na poek uh, amah thikat la lungnah na khueh uh, ko-at thin-at ca neh pakhat la na poek uh te ni omngaihnah la ka kum mai coeng.
3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
Koevoeinah nen boel saeh lamtah koehhahnah nen boel saeh. Tedae tlayaenah neh khat neh khat taengah amamih te tanglue la poek uh.
4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
Hlang khat rhip loh amamih ham te paelki uh boel saeh. Tedae hlangtloe te khaw rhip souh.
5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
Jesuh Khrih ah aka om van te tah nangmih khuiah na poek uh he.
6 who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
Amah tah Pathen kah mueimae la aka om loh Pathen neh vanat la a om te laikoeinah ham a poek moenih.
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
Tedae amah te a tlongtlai la saiiuh. Sal kah mueimae te a loh tih hlang kah mueisa neh om.
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
A suisak tah hlang bangla a hmuh dae amah te tlarhoel tih dueknah hil khaw, thinglam dongkah dueknah nen pataeng olngai la om coeng.
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,
Te dongah Pathen long khaw anih te a pomsang tih ming boeih soah ming tanglue te anih a paek.
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
Te dongah vaan neh diklai neh laikhui kah aka om boeih loh Jesuh ming dongah khuklu cungkueng uh saeh.
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Te vaengah ol cungkuem loh pa Pathen kah thangpomnah ham Jesuh Khrih tah Boeipa ni tila phong saeh.
12 So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Te dongah ka thintlo rhoek, ol na ngai uh taitu vanbangla ka mikhmuh bueng ah pawt tih ka yinhnuk ah khaw muep ngai uh laeh. Rhihnah neh thuennah lamloh namamih kah khangnah te thoeng sakuh.
13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
A kolonah bangla ngaih sak ham neh tueng sak ham khaw nangmih khuiah aka tueng tah Pathen amah ni.
14 Do all things without complaining and arguing,
A cungkuem te uepvawtnah neh kohuetnah khueh kolla saii uh.
15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
Te daengah ni vilvak neh aka pamdah cadil lakli ah aka cuem Pathen kah a ca rhoek, a cuemthuek neh caepakyik la na om uh eh. Amih taengah khaw Diklai dongkah a aa bangla na phoe uh eh.
16 holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.
Hingnah ol aka laehdawn tah Khrih kah khohnin ah ka thangpomnah la om. Te dongah a tlongtlai la ka yong pawt tih a tlongtlai la ka thakthae moenih.
17 Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
Tedae nangmih kah tangnah thothueng neh hmueih te m'bueih thil atah ka omngaih coeng tih nangmih boeih taengah khaw ka omngaih.
18 In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
Te dongkah bangla nangmih khaw omngaih uh lamtah kai taengah omngaih uh van.
19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.
Tedae Timothy te nangmih taengah Boeipa Jesuh ming neh tlek tueih ham ka ngaiuep. Te daengah ni nangmih kawng te ka ming vetih kai khaw ka ngai a dip van eh.
20 For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
Anih phek la nangmih kawng ah aka mawn taktak ka khueh moenih.
21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
Amah ham aka toem boeih ham tah Jesuh Khrih kah koe om moenih.
22 But you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.
Tedae anih kah khinngainah te na ming uh. Olthangthen ham paca bangla kai taengah sal a bi.
23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
Te dongah kai kawng te tlek ka ming nen tah anih he kan tueih ham ka ngaiuep.
24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
Tedae kai khaw tlek ka pawk ni tila Boeipa ming neh ka ngaitang.
25 But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,
Tedae manuca neh bibipuei neh ka rhalkappuei Epapharoditu te ka poek tangkik. Tedae nangmih kah caeltueih neh ka ngoe vaengkah bibikung ham nangmih taengla kan tueih eh.
26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.
Nangmih rhoek boeih te n'ngaidam tih a om dongah omdam tih tlo tila na yaak uh.
27 For indeed he was sick nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
A tloh dongah dalh duek ngawn dae Pathen loh anih a rhen. Anih bueng pawt tih kai khaw kothaenah hmanah kothaenah khueh pawt ham ni.
28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
Anih te thintawn la kan tueih tangloeng daengah ni amah na hmuh uh vaengah koep na omngaih uh vetih kai khaw bidip la ka om eh.
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,
Te dongah Boeipa ah omngaihnah cungkuem neh anih te doe uh lamtah anih bang te a khoelh la khueh uh.
30 because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
Khrih kah bibi dongah dueknah te a paan. Ka taengkah thothueng dongah na vawtthoeknah te tomthap ham a hinglu a phum.
