Filipi 1

1 Jesu Kri ih tamna, Pawl hoi Timote mah Philipi vangpui ah kaom Kri Jesu ah kaciim kamimnawk, Kricaa zaehoikungnawk hoi kacoehtanawk khaeah ca tarik:

Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the holy ones in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and servants:

2 aicae Ampa Sithaw hoi Angraeng Jesu Kri khae hoi ih tahmenhaih hoi monghaih nangcae khaeah om nasoe.

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

3 Nangcae ka poek kruek Sithaw khaeah kawnhaih lawk ka thuih,

I give thanks to my God on all the remembrance of you,

4 lawk ka thuih kruek nangcae boih han anghoehaih hoiah ka thuih toepsoep,

always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication,

5 amtong tangsuek na hoi vaihi khoek to tamthanglok hoih thuih naah na thum o thai pongah ni to tiah lawk ka thuih;

for your contribution to the good news from the first day until now,

6 nangcae khaeah kahoih toksak amtong Sithaw nuiah palunghaenghaih ka tawn ai, anih loe Jesu Kri ih ani phak karoek to koep ah toksah tih:

having been confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you, will complete [it] until [the] day of Jesus Christ,

7 hae tiah nangcae boih taham ka poekhaih loe amsoem kalang mue ka tih, ka palung thungah nangcae poekhaih oh pongah, sumqui hoi pathlet ah ka oh; tamthanglok to ka pakaa moe, kacakah kang doet haih, nangcae loe ka hnuk ih tahmenhaih qawktoep kami ah ni na oh o.

according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and [in] the defense and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.

8 Jesu Kri amlunghaih rang hoiah kawkruk maw nangcae hnuk han ka koeh, tito Sithaw mah panoek.

For God is my witness, how I long for you all with [the] yearnings of Jesus Christ,

9 Panoekhaih hoi pathlaengthaihaih to tawnh moe, amlunghaih bangah na pung o aep aep hanah lawk ka thuih;

and this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge, and all discernment,

10 to tiah ni Kri ih ani pha ai karoek to kahoih koek, coek koi kaom ai, kaciim hmuen ah na om o thai tih;

for your proving the things that differ, that you may be pure and offenseless—to [the] Day of Christ,

11 Jesu Kri rang hoiah kaom toenghaih thingthai hoiah na koi o ueloe, Sithaw lensawkhaih hoi pakoehhaih to om tih.

being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that [is] through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

12 Nawkamyanawk, Kai khae kaom hmuennawk loe, tamthanglok hoih to pakaahaih om ai ah qoengsak tahang han oh, tiah nangcae panoeksak han ka koeh;

And I intend you to know, brothers, that the things concerning me, rather have come to an advancement of the good news,

13 Kri pongah sumqui hoi ang pathlet o haih loe, Rom misatuh kaminawk khue mah na ai, ahmuen kruekah kaom kaminawk mah doeh panoek o boeh;

so that my bonds have become evident in Christ in the whole Praetorium, and to all the other places,

14 sumqui hoi pathlethaih ka tong pongah, Angraeng ah kaom nawkamyanawk loe tanghaih bangah thazok o ai, misahoih o parai, zithaih tawn ai ah tamthanglok hoih to taphong o.

and the greater part of the brothers in the LORD, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold to fearlessly speak the word.

15 Thoemto kaminawk loe uthaih, angaek koehhaih hoiah Kri tamthanglok to thuih o; thoemto kaminawk mah loe poek hoihhaih hoiah thuih o:

Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through goodwill, preach the Christ;

16 thoemto kaminawk mah loe kai sumqui hoi pathlet ah ka oh naah, patang ka khanghaih thap aep han a koeh o pongah, poekciimhaih hoi na ai ah, angaek koehhaih palung hoiah ni Kri kawng to thuih o;

one, indeed, of rivalry proclaims the Christ, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds,

17 toe kai loe kahoih tamthanglok to angdoet haih hanah tokpaek ih kami ah ka oh, tiah panoek o pongah, kalah kaminawk mah loe amlunghaih hoiah taphong o:

and the other out of love, having known that I am set for defense of the good news:

18 to tiah nahaeloe kawbangmaw om tih? Angsak cophaih hoiah maw tamthanglok to a thuih o, to tih ai boeh loe loktang hoiah, kawbaktih loklam hoiah a thuih o cadoeh, Kri tamthanglok ni a thuih o, to pongah vaihi anghoehaih ka tawnh, ue, hmabangah doeh kang hoe han vop.

what then? In every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed—and I rejoice in this, indeed, and will rejoice.

19 Lawk na thuih o haih hoiah, Jesu Kri ih Muithla praekhaih rang hoiah, hae hmuen hae kai loihhhaih ah angcoeng lat tih, tiah ka panoek:

For I have known that this will turn out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,

20 kai loe natuek naah doeh azathaih ka tongh mak ai, misahoihaih hoiah ni ka koi poe, to pongah ka hing cadoeh, ka duek cadoeh, ka takpum ah Kri lensawkhaih vaihi amtueng tih, tiah kating ai oephaih ka tawnh.

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will be ashamed in nothing, and in all freedom, as always, also Christ will now be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,

21 Kai hanah loe, hing hae Kri han ih ni, ka duek cadoeh atho oh.

for to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.

22 Toe timaw ka qoih han ka panoek ai; taksa ah ka hing vop nahaeloe, ka toksakhaih thingthai hnuk hanah ni ka hing han.

And if to live in the flesh [is] to me a fruit of work, then what will I choose? I do not know;

23 To karai parai hmuen hnetto salakah ka oh sut, Kri hoi nawnto oh hanah, duek han ka koeh halat boeh; to tiah oh han hoih kue:

for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,

24 toe taksa ah ka oh nahaeloe nangcae han atho om kue tih.

and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,

25 Na qoeng o tahang moe, tanghaih bangah anghoehaih na tawnh o thai han angai vop, tiah ka panoek; to pongah nangcae boih hoi nawnto ka om vop tih, tiah oephaih ka tawnh;

and being persuaded of this, I have known that I will remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,

26 nangcae khae kang zoh lethaih mah, Jesu Kri ah kai nang hoe o haih aep tih.

that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my coming again to you.

27 Nangcae khaeah kang zoh cadoeh, kang zo ai cadoeh, poek maeto amhonghaih hoiah nang doet o moe, kahoih tamthanglok tanghaih bangah, nawnto tha pathok o, tiah nangcae ih tamthang ka thaih thai hanah, kho na sak o haih tuinuen loe Kri tamthanglok hoi adue han oh:

Only conduct yourselves worthily of the good news of the Christ, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,

28 na misanawk zithaih tawn ai ah kho na sak o haih mah, nihcae loe anghmaa angtaa o tih, tito amtuengsak boeh, toe nangcae loe Sithaw rang hoiah pahlonghaih na hnu o tih.

and not be terrified in anything by those opposing, which is indeed a token of destruction to them, and to you of salvation, and that from God;

29 Anih tang han ih khue na ai, Anih pongah Kri zuengah patangkhang han ih doeh, nangcae hanah tahamhoih to paek boeh.

because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on behalf of Him;

30 Patang ka khanghaih na hnuk o moe, vaihi na thaih o baktih toengah, nangcae doeh na tong o toeng.

having the same conflict, such as you saw in me, and now hear of in me.
