< 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, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
2 A pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih taengkah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah tah nangmih taengah om saeh.
grace be unto you and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Nangmih kah poekkoepnah cungkuem dongah ka Pathen te ka uem.
I give thanks to my God on every remembrance of you,
4 Kai kah rhenbihnah takuem ah nangmih rhoek boeih ham omngaihnah neh rhenbihnah ka saii taitu he khaw,
always in every prayer of mine for you all, making request with joy,
5 A tongcuek khohnin lamkah tahae duela olthangthen dongah nangmih kah bulbonah dongah ni.
for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day even 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 very thing, that he who hath wrought in you the good work will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:
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.
as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I bear you on my heart, both in my bonds and in my defence and the confirmation of the gospel, as being all of you sharers in my 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 earnestly I long after you all in the 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 yet more and more in knowledge and all understanding;
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.
that ye may prove the things that are excellent, in order that ye may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ;
11 Pathen kah thangpomnah neh koehnah ham Jesuh Khrih lamkah duengnah thaihtak tah soep coeng.
filled with fruits of righteousness, which by Jesus Christ are to the glory and praise of God.
12 Manuca rhoek, kai taengah taoe aka thoeng olthangthen kah rhoengcawtnah te nangmih ming sak ham ka ngaih coeng.
Now I wish you, brethren, to know, that the things which have befallen me have rather conduced to the progress of the gospel;
13 Te dongah Khrih ham kai kah thongtlak te khoboeiyung boeih neh a tloe boeih ah a pha tih mingpha coeng.
so that my bonds are manifest in Christ through the whole palace, and all other places;
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 very many of our brethren in the Lord, assuming confidence from my chains, are more abundantly bold, fearlessly to preach the word.
15 Hlangvang loh uethnetnah, tohhaemnah neh om uh ngawn dae hlangvang ngawn tah Khrih kawng te kolonah la a hoe uh.
Some indeed do it in a spirit of envy and strife; but some also preach Christ with cordial good-will:
16 Cungvang ah lungnah lamlong tah olthangthen kah olthungnah ham n'tuek tila a ming uh.
the one indeed preach Christ out of contention, not with purity of intention, thinking to add 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 the others of love, knowing that I am exposed for the defence of the gospel.
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? if Christ is preached in whatever manner it be, whether in pretext or reality, even in this do I rejoice, yea, and 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 shall issue in my salvation through your prayers, and the supply 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 firm expectation and hope, that I shall be confounded by no event, but that with all boldness, as always hitherto, Christ shall now also be magnified in my body, whether by my life or 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 it be his will, that I should live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my travail: and what to chuse 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.
For I am in a strait between the two, having an earnest longing to be dissolved, and to be with Christ, for this is far, far better:
24 Tedae pumsa ah om he nangmih ham tangkik ni.
but to abide in the flesh may be more necessary for 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 being so persuaded, I know that I shall stay and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith;
26 Te daengah ni nangmih kah thangpomnah loh kai dongkah neh kai lamloh nangmih taengah mikhmuh la Khrih Jesuh dongah a pungtai eh.
that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus for me by my coming again unto you.
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 conduct yourselves worthily as becometh the gospel of Christ; that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul wrestling together in the faith of the gospel;
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 dismayed on any occasion by your adversaries; which is indeed the proof of perdition to them, but of salvation to you, and that 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.
For this favour on the part of Christ is granted you, not only that ye should believe on him, but also that ye should suffer for his sake;
30 Kai dongah thingthuelnah aka khueh rhoek te amah la na hmuh uh tih ka khuikah te na yaak uh coeng.
experiencing the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear to be in me.
