< Philippians 3 >

1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tedious, but for you it is safe.
Ka benae aw, akpäihnaka ka pyen hlü betü ta, Bawipa üng nami yümmatnak am jekyai ua. Maa ka yuk päng ka yuk be be vai am mhmanei ngü. Ka yuk be be üngpi nangmia üpawmnak vai ni.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
Ami mtisa mawih vaia pyen lü, akse pawhkia khyange uie cen jah mceiei u bä.
3 For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
Vun mawih akcang yaheiki ta amimi am ni, mimi ni. Isetiüng Pamhnam cun ngmüimkhya üng sawkhah lü Khritaw Jesuh am mi awhcah jekyaikie. Akhawkpunga bilawh üng am mi jumei u.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath reason to trust in the flesh, I more:
Khyanga bilawhe ka jah ümpa na khawhki. Khyang kce he naw akhawkpunga khyanga bilawhe jah ümna khaia a ngaihei üng, kei üng sehlen lü jah ümnak vai veki.
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; with respect to the law, a Pharisee;
Khawmhnüp khyüh ka law üng vun ka mawiki. Kei Isarel khyangmjü, Benjamin pasanga ka kyaki. Hebru khyangmjü kcanga pi ka kyaki. Judah Thum üng asängei üng pi kei Pharisea ka kyaki.
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; with respect to the righteousness which is by the law, blameless.
Judah Khawning ktha na lü sangcim ka jah mkhuimkha khawiki. Thum läklamki a ngsungpyun üng ta, kei üng ia mkhyenak am ve.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Cunüngpi cängtainaka ka jah ngaihe naküt cun Khritaw üng ka jah sumpaknaka ka ngaiki.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them to be dung, that I may win Christ,
Acun he däk am ni; ka Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw ksingnak hin aphu küi säihki tia ksing lü anaküt ka hawih ni. Acun he naküt cun Khritaw yahei vaia phäha jah hawih lü, anaküt cun phyawksaka ni ka jah ngaih. Anaküta kthaka ka hlüei ta Khritawa kya lü,
9 And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:
Ani üng avana ka ngdawnki. Thum ka läklama phäh kei üng ngsungpyunnak am ve. Tukbäih ta jumnaka khana ngdüi lü Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawkia ngsungpyunnak, Khritaw jumnak üngkhyüh lawki ngsungpyunnak ka taki.
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death;
Ka ngjak hlü naküt cun: Khritaw ksing vai, a thawhnak bea johit hmuhtheh sawngtawh vai, a khameinak khameipüi lü thihnak a khameia kba ka khamei hnga vai ni.
11 If by any means I may attain to the resurrection of the dead.
Thihnak üngkhyüh xünnaka äpeinak am ka tho be khai.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I press on, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended by Christ Jesus.
Cunsepi ka yah pängki, ka kümcei pängki ka tinak hlü am ni. Ngkhyengnak yah khaia ka kthanak hin Jesuh Khritaw naw a na man kyeta phäh ni.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those things which are before,
Ka benae aw, akcanga ta acun ka yah pängkia am ngaiei veng. Cunüngpi, ka bi ta; ka hnua veki mhnih lü ka maa veki cun ka kpha vaia ka khyaih khawha akdawsäiha ka pawhki.
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Acunakyase, ngkhyengnak ka yah vaia phäh ka bünak da ka dawng nglätki ni. Acun cun Pamhnam naw khankhaw ngkhyengnak ka yah khaia Jesuh Khritaw üng na khüki ni.
15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye are otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this to you.
Ngmüimkhya üng xüxam pängki mimi abäng naw mlungkaw mat takei vai hlüki. Cunüngpi akhäka mlungkaw a hngalang üng, Pamhnam naw angkhaia ning jah ksingsak khai.
16 Nevertheless, to what we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Aiakyasepi, tuh vei cäp mi läklam lawa thum mat üng mi cit nglät kawm u.
17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them who walk even as ye have us for an example.
Ka benae aw, na ngcuhngkih na ua. Akdawa ve khaia kami jah mtheia awmih ninga kba awmih ua.
18 ( For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Ahlana khawvei ka ning jah mtheh khawi, atuh pi ka miktui am pyen betü veng: ami kcünsak üng Khritawa thihnak Kutlamktunga yea kyaki akda awmki he.
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
Amimi cun cimpyehnak mulai meia pha khaie, isetiüng ami mtisa hlü mhnamnakie. Ami ngkeeinak vai sü awhcahnakie. Khawmdeka khawhthem cim mlungnakie.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven; from which also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Acunüngpi, mimi ta khankhaw khyanga mi kya lü khankhaw üngkhyüh law khai jah küikyanki Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw mi mtätkie ni.
21 Who shall change our lowly body, that it may be fashioned like his glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself.
Ani naw a uknaka kea avan taknak khawha johit üng thi theikia mi pumsa hin pi hlüngtai dawkyakia a pumsaa mäiha pyang khai.
