Philipi 3
1 A tloihsoi ah ka manuca rhoek, Boeipa ah omngaih uh. Amah la nangmih taengah kan daek ham he ka yaikat ngawn moenih tedae nangmih te pangkha ham ni.
In conclusion, my brethren, be joyful in the Lord. For me to give you the same warnings as before is not irksome to me, while so far as you are concerned it is a safe precaution.
2 Ui rhoek te dawn uh, bibikung thae rhoek te dawn uh, maehsah rhoek te dawn uh.
Beware of 'the dogs,' the bad workmen, the self-mutilators.
3 Mamih tah yahvinrhetnah neh n'om uh. Pathen kah Mueihla neh tho aka thueng uh tih Khrih Jesuh ah aka pomsang uh neh pumsa ah aka pangtung pawt rhoek ni.
For we are the true circumcision--we who render to God a spiritual worship and make our boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in outward ceremonies:
4 Kai khaw pumsa ah pangtungnah ka khueh van. Khat khat loh pumsa ah pangtung ham a tloe la a poek atah kai loh taoe ka poek ham om.
although I myself might have some excuse for confidence in outward ceremonies. If any one else claims a right to trust in them, far more may I:
5 A hnin rhet dongkah yahvinrhetnah neh Israel namtu khuiah Benjamin koca ni he. Hebrew rhoek khuikah Hebrew, olkhueng dongah ka Pharisee coeng.
circumcised, as I was, on the eighth day, a member of the race of Israel and of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew sprung from Hebrews; as to the Law a Pharisee;
6 Kohlopnah neh hlangboel te ka hnaemtaek. Olkhueng dongkah duengnah neh cuemthuek la ka om.
as to zeal, a persecutor of the Church; as to the righteousness which comes through Law, blameless.
7 Tedae kai ham hoeikhangnah balae aka om. He kah sungdaehnah he Khrih ham ni tila ka poek.
Yet all that was gain to me--for Christ's sake I have reckoned it loss.
8 Te lakah ka Boeipa Jesuh Khrih mingnah tanglue kongah a cungkuem te sungdaehnah la om ham ni ka poek bal. Amah ham ka ti ah a cungkuem te ka hlong. Tedae te te aek bangla ka poek daengah ni Khrih te ka dang vetih amah dongah m'hmuh eh.
Nay, I even reckon all things as pure loss because of the priceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. And for His sake I have suffered the loss of everything, and reckon it all as mere refuse, in order that I may win Christ and be found in union with Him,
9 Ka duengnah he olkhueng lamlong pawt tih Khrih tangnah lamlong ni n'dang. Tekah tangnah te Pathen kah duengnah soah a kungsut.
not having a righteousness of my own, derived from the Law, but that which arises from faith in Christ--the righteousness which comes from God through faith.
10 Te tah amah neh amah thohkoepnah dongkah thaomnah aka ming sak tih a patangnah dongah rhoinaengnah neh a dueknah aka rhoii sak la om.
I long to know Christ and the power which is in His resurrection, and to share in His sufferings and die even as He died;
11 Duek khui lamloh thohkoepnah dongah ka pha mak atah ka ti.
in the hope that I may attain to the resurrection from among the dead.
12 Ka dang tangtae tih ka rhuemtuet tangtae ngawn moenih. Tedae ka hnuktlak van atah ka pom van ni. Te ham te Khrih Jesuh rhangneh ka pom van coeng.
I do not say that I have already won the race or have already reached perfection. But I am pressing on, striving to lay hold of the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me.
13 Manuca rhoek, kai kamah loh pom ham ka poek pawt dae pakhat ah hnuksul te ka hmaai tih a hmaila ka kan.
Brethren, I do not imagine that I have yet laid hold of it. But this one thing I do--forgetting everything which is past and stretching forward to what lies in front of me,
14 Khrih Jesuh dongah Pathen kah khuenah, soben kah kutdoe ham ni paelkinah te ka hnuktlak.
with my eyes fixed on the goal I push on to secure the prize of God's heavenward call in Christ Jesus.
15 Te dongah lungcuei rhoek boeih long tah he tlam he poek uh sih. Pakhat khaw a hlinghlang la na poek uh koinih, te pataeng Pathen loh nangmih taengah a pumphoe sak ni.
Therefore let all of us who are mature believers cherish these thoughts; and if in any respect you think differently, that also God will make clear to you.
16 Tedae m'pha uh hil te tah amah la m'vai uh.
But whatever be the point that we have already reached, let us persevere in the same course.
17 Manuca rhoek, kai kah omih aka awt la om uh. Te dongah kaimih kah mueimae na dang uh bangla aka cet rhoek te paelki uh van.
Brethren, vie with one another in imitating me, and carefully observe those who follow the example which we have set you.
18 Amih kah khokan te nangmih taengah muep ka thui taitu. Tahae ah khaw rhah doeah ka thui dae Khrih thinglam kah rhal la om uh.
For there are many whom I have often described to you, and I now even with tears describe them, as being enemies to the Cross of Christ.
19 Amih kah a bawtnah tah pocinah ni. Amih kah pathen tah bungpuei la poeh tih thangpomnah tah amih kah yahkoi dongah a om pah. Te rhoek loh diklai koe te a poek uh.
Their end is destruction, their bellies are their God, their glory is in their shame, and their minds are devoted to earthly things.
20 Tedae mamih kah pilnam tah vaan ah ni a om. Te lamkah khangkung Boeipa Jesuh Khrih te n'lamtawn uh bal.
We, however, are free citizens of Heaven, and we are waiting with longing expectation for the coming from Heaven of a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 Amah loh mamih kah mathoe pum he amah kah thangpomnah pum phek la a tho ni. Bibi a noeng van bangla a cungkuem te amah taengah boe a ngai sak pataeng.
who, in the exercise of the power which He has even to subject all things to Himself, will transform this body of our humiliation until it resembles His own glorious body.
