Philipi 2
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,
If, then, any encouragement comes through union with Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love, if there is any communion with the Spirit, if there is any tenderness or pity,
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.
I entreat you to make my happiness complete – live together animated by the same spirit and in mutual love, one in heart, animated by one Spirit.
3 Koevoeinah nen boel saeh lamtah koehhahnah nen boel saeh. Tedae tlayaenah neh khat neh khat taengah amamih te tanglue la poek uh.
Nothing should be done out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility lift others up above yourselves,
4 Hlang khat rhip loh amamih ham te paelki uh boel saeh. Tedae hlangtloe te khaw rhip souh.
considering not only your own interests but also the interests of others.
5 Jesuh Khrih ah aka om van te tah nangmih khuiah na poek uh he.
Let the spirit of Christ Jesus be yours also.
6 Amah tah Pathen kah mueimae la aka om loh Pathen neh vanat la a om te laikoeinah ham a poek moenih.
Though the divine nature was his from the beginning, yet he did not look on equality with God as above all things to be clung to,
7 Tedae amah te a tlongtlai la saiiuh. Sal kah mueimae te a loh tih hlang kah mueisa neh om.
but impoverished himself by taking the nature of a servant and becoming like one of us;
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.
he appeared among us as a man, and still further humbled himself by submitting even to death – to death on a cross!
9 Te dongah Pathen long khaw anih te a pomsang tih ming boeih soah ming tanglue te anih a paek.
And that is why God raised him to the very highest place, and gave him the name which stands above all other names,
10 Te dongah vaan neh diklai neh laikhui kah aka om boeih loh Jesuh ming dongah khuklu cungkueng uh saeh.
so that in adoration of the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven, on earth, and under the earth,
11 Te vaengah ol cungkuem loh pa Pathen kah thangpomnah ham Jesuh Khrih tah Boeipa ni tila phong saeh.
and that every tongue should acknowledge JESUS CHRIST as LORD – 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.
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always been obedient in the past, so now work out your own salvation with anxious care, not only when I am with you, but all the more now that I am absent.
13 A kolonah bangla ngaih sak ham neh tueng sak ham khaw nangmih khuiah aka tueng tah Pathen amah ni.
Remember it is God who, in his kindness, is at work within you, enabling you both to will and to work.
14 A cungkuem te uepvawtnah neh kohuetnah khueh kolla saii uh.
In all that you do, avoid murmuring and dissension,
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 as to prove yourselves blameless and innocent – faultless children of God, in the midst of an evil-disposed and perverse generation, in which you are seen shining like stars in a dark 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.
offering to them the message of life; and then I will be able at the day of Christ to boast that I did not run my course for nothing, or toil 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.
And yet, even if, when your faith is offered as a sacrifice to God, my lifeblood must be poured out in addition, still I will rejoice and share the joy of you all;
18 Te dongkah bangla nangmih khaw omngaih uh lamtah kai taengah omngaih uh van.
and you must also rejoice and share my joy.
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.
I hope, however, as one who trusts in the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may myself be cheered by receiving news of you.
20 Anih phek la nangmih kawng ah aka mawn taktak ka khueh moenih.
For I have no one but him to send – no one of kindred spirit who would take the same genuine interest in your welfare.
21 Amah ham aka toem boeih ham tah Jesuh Khrih kah koe om moenih.
They are all pursuing their own aims and 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 what Timothy has proved himself to be, and how, like a child working for his father, he worked hard with me in spreading the good news.
23 Te dongah kai kawng te tlek ka ming nen tah anih he kan tueih ham ka ngaiuep.
It is Timothy, then, whom I hope to send, just as soon as I find out what is going to happen to me here.
24 Tedae kai khaw tlek ka pawk ni tila Boeipa ming neh ka ngaitang.
And I am confident, as one who trusts in the Lord Jesus, that before long I myself will follow.
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.
Still I think it necessary to send Epaphroditus to you now, for he is my dear friend, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, and he was also your messenger to help me in my need.
26 Nangmih rhoek boeih te n'ngaidam tih a om dongah omdam tih tlo tila na yaak uh.
For he has been longing to see you all, and has been distressed because you heard of his illness.
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.
And I can assure you that his illness very nearly proved fatal. But God had pity on him, and not on him only but also on me, so that I might not have sorrow on 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.
I am all the more ready, therefore, to send him, so that the sight of him may revive your spirits and my own sorrow be lightened.
29 Te dongah Boeipa ah omngaihnah cungkuem neh anih te doe uh lamtah anih bang te a khoelh la khueh uh.
Give him, then, the heartiest of Christian welcomes, and hold such people in great honour.
30 Khrih kah bibi dongah dueknah te a paan. Ka taengkah thothueng dongah na vawtthoeknah te tomthap ham a hinglu a phum.
For it was owing to his devotion to the Master’s work that he was at the point of death, having risked his own life in the effort to supply what was wanting in the help that you sent me.
