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:
Jesuh Khritawa mpya, Pawluh ja Timoti naw, Philipih mlüha awmki he Jesuh Khritaw üng pumat lü Pamhnam jumeikie, sangcim mkhawnge ja ning jah kpüikpakie mahmaha:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mi Pa Pamhnam ja Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw naw bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak ning jah pe se.
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
Nangmi ka ning jah süm naküt üng, nangmia phäh Ka Pamhnam ka jenaki.
4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
Nangmi avana phäha ka ktaiyü naküt üng jekyainak am ka ktaiyüki.
5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
Isetiakyaküng thangkdawa phäh khut pawhnak üng acuteinak üngkhyüh tuh vei cäpa nami na kpüikpak ua phäh ni.
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.
Ahina khut kdaw nangmi üng cuteiki Pamhnam naw a ngpäng vei, Jesuh Khritawa Khawmhnüp apha law vei cäpa bilo ktäi khai, tia ka jumeiki.
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.
Alä se ka mlungmthin üng ka ning jah sümki. Nangmia phäh ahikba ka ngaih hin ka phäha dawki. Isetikyaküng, Pamhnama na peta khut na kpüikpak u lü, thawngima ka ve üng pi ni se, thangkdaw saksi na lü acuna thangkdaw ka khängsak üng pi ni se, nami na kpüikpaka phäh ka ning jah süm nglätki ni.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
Jesuh Khritawa mhläkphyanak am ihlawka nami van ka ning jah hmu hlüki ti cun Pamhnam naw na ksingki ni. Aktäa ning jah hmu hlü lü ka khamei hin Khritaw Jesuh üngkhyüh lawkia kyaki ni.
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
Nami mhläkphyanak cun themngvainak kcang ja ngthumkhyahnak ngdüng am atänga a däm law bawkbawk vaia,
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,
Acunakyase, akdaw säih cun nami xüei thei khaie. Acunüng va, am ngcimcaihnak ja Khritawa law be Mhnüp üng, mkateinak naküt üngkhyüh nami lät khaie.
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Pamhnama bungming a hlüngtainak vaia, Jesuh Khritaw däk naw ngsungpyunnaka ktheipaia nami xünsak ngtheipaisak khaia, ka ning jah ktaiyü petki ni.
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,
Ka benae aw, ka khana pha lawki naküt hin thangkdaw ngthang hüsak dämki ti nami ksing vai ka ngja hlüki.
13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
Acunakyase, Khritawa mpyaa ka thawna phäh thawngim üng ami na khyum hin bawingawhnak mtätki avan ja ahia veki avana veia ngthang hü päihki ni.
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.
Jumeikie naw kei thawngim üng ami na khyuma phäh Bawipa üng mkhühüpnak dämdäm yah u lü, thangkdaw ami sanga kcün naküt üng käh kyühei lang lü linglainak dämdäm jah peki.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
Khyang akhäk naw püi mkeinak ja hnengnak mlung am Khritawa mawng sangkie ni. Cunüngpi akce he naw ta ami mlungkaw kcang am sangkie ni.
16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
Thangkdaw cun cangki ti lü sang khaia kei hin Pamhnam naw khut na petki ti cun amimi naw ksing u lü, thangkdaw cun k’üna lü mhläkphyanak am sangkie.
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
Ami mlung ngcim üng am ni lü, thawngim üng kyum lü ka khuikha law dämdäm khaia, ami na hnengnak üng thangkdaw sangkie 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.
Aiakyase pi ka jeki ni. Khritawa thangkdaw cun akdaw lam üng pi ni se, akse lam üng pi ni se sangkie ni. Acuna phäh atuh ka jekyaiki. Ka jekyai laihlaih khai.
19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Nami ktaiyünak ja Jesuh Khritawa Ngmüimkhya üngkhyüh lawki kpüikpaknake naw kei cun na lätlangsak khai.
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.
Ka hlükawei ja äpeinak naw am na ngkekhyakeisak. Cunüng pi, ka thih üng pi kyase, ka xün üng pi kyase, atuh pi kyase ngawia pi kyase, linglainak am Khritaw cun ka pumsa naw mhlünmtai nglät khai.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Xünnak ta i ni? Keia phäh ta xünnak hin Khritaw ni. Thih üngpi dawnak bawk 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.
Cunsepi, pumsa üng ka xüng laihlaih üng, ka ngtheipai dämdäm khawhki. Acunsepi hawn ka xü vai am ksing veng.
23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
Ka mlung nghngih kthum lü haw da ceh vai am ksing veng. Khawmdek hin ngkyapüi lü Khritaw üng ve yüm vai ka ngja hlüki. Acun cun ka phäha daw bawki ni.
24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
Cunüngpi, nangmia phäh ka xün vai hlü bawki ni.
25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
Nangmi jumeinak am jekyai lü nami dämduh law vaia nami hlawnga ka ve khai ti ka ksing ngkhaiki ni.
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
Acunakyase, nami veia ka law betü üng, Khritaw Jesuh üng pummat lü keia phäh nami awhcah law bawkbawk khaie.
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;
Aktung bawka ta nami awmih ngneisak Khritawa thangkdaw üng a ngkäk vai hlüki. Nami veia law lü ning jah teng law ngü sepi, am law be lü athuknaka ka ve üngpi, ngkhängkia mlung mat am ngdüi yüm lü thangkdaw jumeinak am ngtäknak nami pawh yüm vai u ka ngja hlüki.
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.
Nami yee käh jah kyühei ua. Aläa linglai u lü acun naw amimi sum u lü, nangmi nami ngnängki ti mdan khai ni. Isetiüng ngnängnak ning jah peki cun Pamhnama kyaki.
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,
Ani jumeinak däk üng am ni lü ania phäh khuikha nami khamei hin Khritawa khut pawh khaia kcün kdaw a ning jah peta nami kyaki.
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
Atuh ta kei am atänga ngtuknaka nami ngpüikie ni. Ahlana ngtuk ka pawh nami hmu khawikie. Nami ngjaka kba acuna jumeinak ngtuk üng ka veei hamki ni.
