Philipi 1

1 Jesuh Khrih kah sal rhoi Paul neh Timothy loh Philipi ah aka om hiphoelkung rhoek, tueihyoeih rhoek neh Jesuh Khrih ah hlangcim rhoek boeih taengah kan yaak sak.

Paul and Timothy, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the sanctified in Jesus Christ who are at Philippi, with the guardians and helpers:

2 A pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih taengkah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah tah nangmih taengah om saeh.

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

3 Nangmih kah poekkoepnah cungkuem dongah ka Pathen te ka uem.

I thank my God upon every memory of you,

4 Kai kah rhenbihnah takuem ah nangmih rhoek boeih ham omngaihnah neh rhenbihnah ka saii taitu he khaw,

always in my every entreaty for all of you, making the entreaty with joy

5 A tongcuek khohnin lamkah tahae duela olthangthen dongah nangmih kah bulbonah dongah ni.

for your participation in the good news from the first day until now.

6 He he boeih ka ngaitang ngawn ta. Te dongah nangmih khuiah bibi then aka tong long tah Jesuh Khrih kah khohnin duela a khah ni ta.

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

7 Nangmih thinko khuiah ka om dongah nangmih boeih yueng la poek ham he kai ham tah a dueng la om ngawn. Kai kah thongtlak dongah khaw, olthungnah dongah khaw olthangthen kah caksaknah dongah khaw lungvatnah te kai aka bawn puei laboeih na om uh.

Just as it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the good news, you all being partners with me of the grace.

8 Kai kah laipai la Pathen om ta. Jesuh Khrih kah kotak dongah nangmih rhoek boeih te bahoeng kan ngaidam.

For God is my witness, how I long for you all in bowels of Jesus Christ.

9 He tla ka thangthui daengah ni nangmih kah lungnah loh mingnah neh hmuhmingnah cungkuem dongah taoe taoe a pungtai pueng eh.

And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment

10 Te dongah a tanglue te na soepsoei uh daengah ni Khrih kah khohnin ah tah a cuemhmuet neh a cilrhik la na om uh eh.

for you to examine the things that are significant. So that ye may be tested by sunlight and not stumbling toward the day of Christ,

11 Pathen kah thangpomnah neh koehnah ham Jesuh Khrih lamkah duengnah thaihtak tah soep coeng.

having been filled with fruits of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, for glory and praise of God.

12 Manuca rhoek, kai taengah taoe aka thoeng olthangthen kah rhoengcawtnah te nangmih ming sak ham ka ngaih coeng.

But I want you to know, brothers, that the things in respect to me have come more for the advancement of the good news,

13 Te dongah Khrih ham kai kah thongtlak te khoboeiyung boeih neh a tloe boeih ah a pha tih mingpha coeng.

in order for my bonds in Christ to become apparent in the whole Praetorium, and in all the others.

14 Te phoeiah boeipa ah manuca a yet loh kai kah thongtlak te a ngaitang uh. Te dongah sayalh la olka thui ham taoe a ngaingaih uh.

And more of the brothers in the Lord have been convinced by my bonds to be much more bold to speak the word fearlessly.

15 Hlangvang loh uethnetnah, tohhaemnah neh om uh ngawn dae hlangvang ngawn tah Khrih kawng te kolonah la a hoe uh.

Actually some even preach the Christ because of envy and strife, and some also because of good-will.

16 Cungvang ah lungnah lamlong tah olthangthen kah olthungnah ham n'tuek tila a ming uh.

Some indeed proclaim the Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to bring affliction to my bonds.

17 Tedae koevoeinah neh Khrih olthang aka doek rhoek tah cuemcaih pawh. Kai kah thongtlak vaengkah phacip phabaem te soehsal ham ni a cai uh.

But some from love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the good news.

18 Te phoeikah tah mebang nim? Mueituengnah mailai nen khaw oltak nen khaw a longim boeih neh Khrih kawng doek mai cakhaw hekah ham he ka omngaih tih koep ka omngaih pueng ni.

What then? Except in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice, but also I will rejoice.

19 He tah nangmih kah rhenbihnah neh Jesuh Khrih Mueihla kah bomnah lamloh kai ham khangnah la poeh ni tila ka ming.

For I know that this will turn out to me for salvation (through your entreaty, and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ)

20 Ka rhingoelnah neh ngaiuepnah vanbangla yah ka pok mahpawh. Tedae sayalhnah cungkuem neh hingnah lamlong khaw, dueknah lamlong khaw a yoeyah la ka pum dongah Khrih a oep van pawn ni.

according to my eager expectation and hope that I will be shamed in nothing. But with all boldness, now as always, Christ will also be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.

21 Kai ham tah ka hing khaw Khrih tih ka duek te khaw ka hoeikhangnah ni.

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

22 Tedae pumsa ah hing ham akhaw te tah kai ham bibi kah a thaih la om tih ka tuek ham te ka ming pawh.

But if to live in flesh, this is fruit of labor to me, then what I will choose I know not.

23 Te dongah voeivang lamloh n'nan. Ka bal ham neh Khrih taengah om ham te hoehhamnah ka khueh te muep then ngai.

And I am constrained by the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, being far better.

24 Tedae pumsa ah om he nangmih ham tangkik ni.

But to remain in the flesh is more necessary because of you.

25 Te dongah ka pangtung he ka ming daengah ni ka rhaehrhong vetih nangmih boeih te namamih kah rhoengcawtnah neh tangnah dongkah omngaihnah dongah ka nguel eh.

And having been convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and will continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith.

26 Te daengah ni nangmih kah thangpomnah loh kai dongkah neh kai lamloh nangmih taengah mikhmuh la Khrih Jesuh dongah a pungtai eh.

So that your pride may abound in Christ Jesus in me because of my presence with you again.

27 Khrih olthangthen kah a tingtawk la dawk hing uh. Te daengah ni ka pawk tih nangmih kan hmuh vaengah khaw, lakhla vaengah khaw, nangmih kawng te ka yaak eh. Mueihla pakhat dongah na pai uh tih, olthangthen kah tangnah dongah pakhat la hinglu na cut uh te ta.

Only be citizens worthy of the good news of the Christ, so that, whether having come and having seen you or being absent, I may hear things about you that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the good news.

28 Te phoeiah boekoek rhoek kongah a hong nen khaw hlawt let uh boeh. Te tah amih ham pocinah dongah mingphanah ni. Tedae nangmih ham tah khangnah la om. He tah Pathen taeng lamkah ni.

And not being frightened in anything by those who oppose, which is indeed a sign of destruction to them, but to you of salvation, and this from God.

29 Nangmih taengah Khrih yueng la m'paek coeng. Amah dongah aka tangnah ham bueng pawt tih amah yueng la aka patang taengah khaw a paek.

Because to you it was granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,

30 Kai dongah thingthuelnah aka khueh rhoek te amah la na hmuh uh tih ka khuikah te na yaak uh coeng.

having the same conflict such as ye saw in me, and now hear is in me.
