1 Khrih dongah thaphohnah khat khat a om van akhaw, lungnah dongkah suemnah khat khat a om akhaw, mueihla dongah rhoinaengnah khat khat a om akhaw, sitlohnah neh sitlohnah khat khat a om akhaw,
Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship from the Spirit, if any tenderness and acts of compassion,
2 amah thikat la na poek uh, amah thikat la lungnah na khueh uh, ko-at thin-at ca neh pakhat la na poek uh te ni omngaihnah la ka kum mai coeng.
make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.
3 Koevoeinah nen boel saeh lamtah koehhahnah nen boel saeh. Tedae tlayaenah neh khat neh khat taengah amamih te tanglue la poek uh.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard one another as being better than yourselves.
4 Hlang khat rhip loh amamih ham te paelki uh boel saeh. Tedae hlangtloe te khaw rhip souh.
Let each of you look out not only for his own concerns, but also for what concerns others.
5 Jesuh Khrih ah aka om van te tah nangmih khuiah na poek uh he.
In fact, let this mindset be in you that was also in Christ Jesus,
6 Amah tah Pathen kah mueimae la aka om loh Pathen neh vanat la a om te laikoeinah ham a poek moenih.
who, existing in God's form, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7 Tedae amah te a tlongtlai la saiiuh. Sal kah mueimae te a loh tih hlang kah mueisa neh om.
but divested Himself, taking a slave's form, coming to be in the likeness of men.
8 A suisak tah hlang bangla a hmuh dae amah te tlarhoel tih dueknah hil khaw, thinglam dongkah dueknah nen pataeng olngai la om coeng.
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross!
9 Te dongah Pathen long khaw anih te a pomsang tih ming boeih soah ming tanglue te anih a paek.
Indeed, that is why God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name,
10 Te dongah vaan neh diklai neh laikhui kah aka om boeih loh Jesuh ming dongah khuklu cungkueng uh saeh.
so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow—of those in heaven, those on earth and those under the earth—
11 Te vaengah ol cungkuem loh pa Pathen kah thangpomnah ham Jesuh Khrih tah Boeipa ni tila phong saeh.
and every tongue will acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Sovereign, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Te dongah ka thintlo rhoek, ol na ngai uh taitu vanbangla ka mikhmuh bueng ah pawt tih ka yinhnuk ah khaw muep ngai uh laeh. Rhihnah neh thuennah lamloh namamih kah khangnah te thoeng sakuh.
So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed (not only in my presence but now much more in my absence), keep working out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
13 A kolonah bangla ngaih sak ham neh tueng sak ham khaw nangmih khuiah aka tueng tah Pathen amah ni.
because God Himself is the One at work in you, both to will and to produce, for His good pleasure.
14 A cungkuem te uepvawtnah neh kohuetnah khueh kolla saii uh.
Do all things without grumbling or arguing,
15 Te daengah ni vilvak neh aka pamdah cadil lakli ah aka cuem Pathen kah a ca rhoek, a cuemthuek neh caepakyik la na om uh eh. Amih taengah khaw Diklai dongkah a aa bangla na phoe uh eh.
so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and depraved generation, among whom you shine as light bearers in the world,
16 Hingnah ol aka laehdawn tah Khrih kah khohnin ah ka thangpomnah la om. Te dongah a tlongtlai la ka yong pawt tih a tlongtlai la ka thakthae moenih.
holding fast the Word of Life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor for nothing.
17 Tedae nangmih kah tangnah thothueng neh hmueih te m'bueih thil atah ka omngaih coeng tih nangmih boeih taengah khaw ka omngaih.
Yes, even if I am a libation being poured on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.
18 Te dongkah bangla nangmih khaw omngaih uh lamtah kai taengah omngaih uh van.
For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.
19 Tedae Timothy te nangmih taengah Boeipa Jesuh ming neh tlek tueih ham ka ngaiuep. Te daengah ni nangmih kawng te ka ming vetih kai khaw ka ngai a dip van eh.
Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be encouraged when I know how you are doing.
20 Anih phek la nangmih kawng ah aka mawn taktak ka khueh moenih.
For I have no one else like-minded, who will be genuinely concerned about your welfare
21 Amah ham aka toem boeih ham tah Jesuh Khrih kah koe om moenih.
(for all seek their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus).
22 Tedae anih kah khinngainah te na ming uh. Olthangthen ham paca bangla kai taengah sal a bi.
But you know the proof of him, that as a son with his father he slaved with me for the Gospel.
23 Te dongah kai kawng te tlek ka ming nen tah anih he kan tueih ham ka ngaiuep.
Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how things go with me.
24 Tedae kai khaw tlek ka pawk ni tila Boeipa ming neh ka ngaitang.
Still, I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
25 Tedae manuca neh bibipuei neh ka rhalkappuei Epapharoditu te ka poek tangkik. Tedae nangmih kah caeltueih neh ka ngoe vaengkah bibikung ham nangmih taengla kan tueih eh.
However, I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker and fellow soldier; also your messenger and minister to my need;
26 Nangmih rhoek boeih te n'ngaidam tih a om dongah omdam tih tlo tila na yaak uh.
since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.
27 A tloh dongah dalh duek ngawn dae Pathen loh anih a rhen. Anih bueng pawt tih kai khaw kothaenah hmanah kothaenah khueh pawt ham ni.
Well, he really was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 Anih te thintawn la kan tueih tangloeng daengah ni amah na hmuh uh vaengah koep na omngaih uh vetih kai khaw bidip la ka om eh.
So I sent him the more eagerly, that upon seeing him you might have joy, and I be less anxious.
29 Te dongah Boeipa ah omngaihnah cungkuem neh anih te doe uh lamtah anih bang te a khoelh la khueh uh.
Receive him in Sovereign with great joy, and hold such men in honor,
30 Khrih kah bibi dongah dueknah te a paan. Ka taengkah thothueng dongah na vawtthoeknah te tomthap ham a hinglu a phum.
because for the work of the Christ he came close to death, not regarding his life, to complete what was lacking in your service toward me.
