< Philipi 4 >
1 Te dongah, kai kah omngaihnah rhuisam, ka manuca te ka thintloh tih kan ngaidam. Te vanbangla thintlo rhoek aw Boeipa dongah pai uh.
My fellow believers, I love you, and I long for you. You make me happy [MTY], and I am (proud of/pleased with) you. Dear friends, on the basis [of all that I have told you], continue to believe firmly in the Lord doing what I have just taught you.
2 Evodia te ka hloep tih Boeipa ah amah la poek ham Suntuki khaw ka hloep.
I urge [you(sg)], Euodia, and I urge [you(sg)], Syntyche, to again have a peaceful relationship with each other, [because you both have a relationship with] the Lord.
3 Ue namah khaw kan dawt. Hmantang ah yingyawn lamtah amih te talong pai. Amih loh olthangthen dongah kai taengah m'puei uh coeng. Kalemen neh a tloe rhoek te khaw kamah kah bibipuei rhoek pai ni. Amih kah ming tah hingnah cabu dongah om coeng.
And, my faithful comrade/partner, I request that you [(sg)] help them [to again have a peaceful relationship with each other], because they have [faithfully proclaimed] the message [about Christ] together with me, [even though many people] have opposed us [(exc)]. They have faithfully proclaimed that message together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names [are] in the book [in which God has written the names of all those people who will] live [forever].
4 Boeipa ah omngaih uh taitu lah. Koep ka thui eh omngaih uh lah.
[Because you have a relationship with] the Lord, always rejoice! I’m saying it again, rejoice!
5 Nangmih kah kodo te hlang boeih taengah ming sak. Boeipa tah yoei coeng.
[Act in such a way that] everyone can know that you are gentle. The Lord is coming soon.
6 Mawn uh boeh, tedae a cungkuem dongah thangthuinah neh rhenbihnah khaw uemonah neh na bihhoenah te Pathen taengah phoe saeh.
Do not worry about anything. Instead, in every situation, pray [to God], tell him what you need, and ask him [to help you] [DOU]. Also thank [him for what he does for you].
7 Te vaengah lungbuei boeih lakah aka tanglue Pathen kah ngaimongnah loh nangmih kah thinko neh nangmih kah poeknah te Khrih Jesuh dongah a khoembael bitni.
As a result, God will enable you not to worry [about anything] [MTY] (OR, God will protect your minds [in every way]) [PRS]. [That is], he will cause you to have [inner] peace [because you have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. You will not be able to understand [PRS] [how you can be so peaceful in such difficult circumstances!]!
8 A tloihsoi la manuca rhoek aw, a thuem aka om boeih, a hin aka om boeih, aka dueng boeih, aka cuem boeih, lungloeinah koi boeih, thang aka then boeih, khoboethen neh koehnah ham a mai atah he he poek uh.
My fellow believers, there is one more thing I [want you to do]. Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is right, whatever is morally pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is admirable, whatever is good, whatever [deserves] praise, those are the things that you should continually think about.
9 Te te kai taengah na cang uh tih na dang uh coeng, na yaak uh tih na hmuh uh coeng. Te te saii uh lamtah ngaimongnah Pathen loh nangmih taengah ha om bitni.
Those things that I have taught you and that you have learned from me, those things that you have heard me [say] and that you have seen me [do], those are the things that you yourselves should continually do. As a result [of your doing those things], God, the one who [causes us to] have [inner] peace, will (be with/bless) you.
10 Te dongah hnukbuet kah ka poek te nan cuen sak coeng dongah Boeipa ah ka omngaih tangkik. Amah te na ngaihlih uh ngawn dae na hloo uh.
I rejoice greatly [and thank] the Lord because now, after some time, [by sending money to me] you have once again shown that you are concerned about me [EUP]. Indeed, you were concerned about me [all the time], but you had no opportunity [to show that you were concerned about me].
11 Ka vawtthoek bangla te khaw ka thui moenih. Kai tah mebang ka tong vaengah khaw ngaikhuek la om ham ka cang coeng.
I am saying this not because I [am concerned that I] lack things [that I need]. In fact, I have learned to be content in whatever [situation] I am.
12 Tlarhoel ham khaw ka ming. Khuehtawn ham khaw ka ming. Cungkuem neh cungkuem dongah bunghah ham neh bungpong ham khaw, khuehtawn ham neh vawtthoek ham khaw ka thuep coeng.
[Specifically], I know how [to be content when] I do not have what I need, and I know how [to be content when] I have plenty. I have learned how [to be content] in any and every [situation] [DOU]. [Specifically], I have learned how [to be content when] I have enough to eat, and I have learned how [to be content when] I do not have enough to eat. I have learned how [to be content when] I have plenty [DOU] [of what I need], and I have learned [how to be content when] I lack [things].
13 Kai aka thaphoh kung rhangneh a cungkuem khaw ka thai coeng.
I am able (to cope with/to handle) every situation because [Christ] gives me the strength to do that.
14 Tedae kai kah phacip phabaem dongah na thum uh te a thuem ni na saii uh.
Nevertheless, you did very well by [helping me] (OR, [giving me money]) [EUP] while I have been suffering hardship.
15 Te phoeiah Philipi rhoek aw, nangmih long khaw olthangthen a tongcuek vaengkah te ming uh. Makedonia lamloh ka caeh vaengah nangmih bueng kah doenah pawt koinih doedannah dongah ol nen pataeng hlangboel loh kai m'boek moenih.
[My friends there at Philippi], you yourselves know that when I first [proclaimed] the message about Christ [to you], and then left there to go to Macedonia [province], you were the only group of believers [LIT] who [sent me] gifts [EUP] in order that I might [proclaim that message] to others just like I did for you.
16 Thessalonika ah pataeng ka ngoengaih dongah vai khaw hnavoei khaw nan pat uh.
Even [when I was] in Thessalonica [city], you sent [money] [EUP] to me two different times [IDM] in order to [supply] what I needed.
17 Tete kutdoe ka toem moenih. Tedae nangmih kah olka dongah a thaih te pungtai sak ham ka toem.
I say this, not because I desire that you give me money now. Instead, I desire that [God] will abundantly bless [MET] you as a result of [your helping me].
18 Tedae a cungkuem te ka dang tih coih. Nangmih lamkah te Epapharoditu taeng lamloh ka dang tih ka rhoeh pataeng. Te te Pathen taengah botui kah a bova, uemo koi neh a doe koi hmueih la om.
But I have received a very generous [gift] [EUP] [from you], and [as a result], I have plenty. I have an abundant supply [of what I need because] I have received from Epaphroditus the money [EUP] that you [sent to me]. God considers that your gift is very acceptable, and he is very pleased with it. [Your gift is like] a nice-smelling sacrifice [MET].
19 Tedae ka Pathen loh Khrih Jesuh dongkah thangpomnah neh amah kah khuehtawn tarhing ah na ngoe boeih te han cung sak bitni.
[Moreover], God, [whom] I [serve], has an unlimited supply [of everything that we(inc) need]. And as a result, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, he will completely supply everything that you need.
20 Te dongah a Pa Pathen te kumhal duela thangpomnah om saeh. Amen. (aiōn )
[So], praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn )
21 Jesuh Khrih ah hlangcim boeih te toidal uh. Ka taengkah manuca rhoek loh nangmih te kut n'tuuk uh.
Greet [for me/us(exc)] all of God’s people [there, that is, all those who have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. The fellow believers who [serve God together] with me here send their greetings to you (OR, say they are thinking fondly of you).
22 Nangmih hlangcim rhoek boeih neh olpuei la Kaisar im kah rhoek loh kut kan tuuk uh.
All of God’s people [here] send their greetings to you. Especially the [fellow believers who work] in the palace of the emperor send their greetings to you.
23 Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah tah nangmih kah Mueihla neh om saeh.
My desire is [that our] Lord Jesus Christ [will continue to] act kindly toward you all [SYN].
