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.

PAULOS and Timotheus, servants of Jeshu the Meshiha, to all the saints who are in Jeshu Meshiha at Philipos, with the presbyters and deacons.

2 A pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih taengkah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah tah nangmih taengah om saeh.

Grace be with you and peace from Aloha our Father, and from our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

3 Nangmih kah poekkoepnah cungkuem dongah ka Pathen te ka uem.

I offer thanks unto Aloha upon the remembrance of you constantly,

4 Kai kah rhenbihnah takuem ah nangmih rhoek boeih ham omngaihnah neh rhenbihnah ka saii taitu he khaw,

in all my prayers on your behalf; and while rejoicing,

5 A tongcuek khohnin lamkah tahae duela olthangthen dongah nangmih kah bulbonah dongah ni.

I pray, for your fellowship which is in the gospel from the first day 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.

because I am confident of this, that he who hath begun good workings in you will himself make perfect until the day of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

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.

For so it is right for me to think concerning you all, because you are laid up in my heart; and in my bonds, and in the defence of the truth of the gospel, you are partakers with me in grace.

8 Kai kah laipai la Pathen om ta. Jesuh Khrih kah kotak dongah nangmih rhoek boeih te bahoeng kan ngaidam.

For Aloha is my witness how I love you with the bowels of Jeshu Meshiha.

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 still increase and abound in knowledge and in all spiritual 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 you may distinguish those things that are proper, and may be pure and without offence in the day of the Meshiha,

11 Pathen kah thangpomnah neh koehnah ham Jesuh Khrih lamkah duengnah thaihtak tah soep coeng.

and filled with the fruits of righteousness which are in Jeshu Meshiha, to the glory and the honour of Aloha.

12 Manuca rhoek, kai taengah taoe aka thoeng olthangthen kah rhoengcawtnah te nangmih ming sak ham ka ngaih coeng.

BUT I wish you to know, my brethren, that my business tendeth the more to the forwarding of the gospel.

13 Te dongah Khrih ham kai kah thongtlak te khoboeiyung boeih neh a tloe boeih ah a pha tih mingpha coeng.

For so also my bonds are manifest for the Meshiha in the whole palace, and unto all besides.

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 a multitude of brethren who are in our Lord are strengthened on account of my bonds, and have dared the more fearlessly to speak the word of Aloha.

15 Hlangvang loh uethnetnah, tohhaemnah neh om uh ngawn dae hlangvang ngawn tah Khrih kawng te kolonah la a hoe uh.

Some preach from envy and contention, but some from good-will,

16 Cungvang ah lungnah lamlong tah olthangthen kah olthungnah ham n'tuek tila a ming uh.

and in the love of the Meshiha; for they know that for the defence of the gospel I am appointed.

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 those who preach the Meshiha from contention do it not sincerely, but think to add affliction to my bonds.

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.

Yet in this I have rejoiced, and do rejoice, that in every way, if for an occasion, or if in truth, the Meshiha shall be preached.

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 these things shall be found unto my life by your prayers, and by the gift of the Spirit of Jeshu Meshiha;

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.

even as I hope and expect, that in nothing I shall be confounded, but manifestly, as at all times, so also now, the Meshiha shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

21 Kai ham tah ka hing khaw Khrih tih ka duek te khaw ka hoeikhangnah ni.

For my life is the Meshiha; and if I die, it is gain to me.

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 in this life of the flesh there be also fruit to me from my works, I know not what to choose.

23 Te dongah voeivang lamloh n'nan. Ka bal ham neh Khrih taengah om ham te hoehhamnah ka khueh te muep then ngai.

For these two straiten me. I desire to be set free, that I might be with the Meshiha, and this is greatly preferable to me;

24 Tedae pumsa ah om he nangmih ham tangkik ni.

but also to remain in my body is the thing which constraineth me on your account.

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.

For I know this confidently, that I am to remain and tarry for your joy and for the increase of your 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 when I come again to you, your glorying which is in Jeshu Meshiha alone shall abound in me.

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.

As it becometh the gospel of the Meshiha, so have your conversation; that if coming I see you, or absent, I may hear of you, that you stand in one spirit and in one soul, conquering together for 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.

in nothing moved by them who stand against us, to the forthshowing of their perdition, and of our salvation,

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.

And this from Aloha hath been given to you, not only believing to believe in the Meshiha, but also for his sake to suffer,

30 Kai dongah thingthuelnah aka khueh rhoek te amah la na hmuh uh tih ka khuikah te na yaak uh coeng.

and to sustain a conflict, as you have seen in me, and now hear concerning me.
