Philipi 3

1 Akhakbel in, ka suapui te awng, Topa sung ah lungdam vun, Note tung ah thu ka sonsa khat son kikik tu sia kei atu thu haksa hi ngawl hi, ahihang note atu in hi thu sia a bit le a muanhuai a hihi.

In conclusion, my Brothers, all joy be yours in your union with the Lord. To repeat what I have already written does not weary me, and is the safe course for you.

2 Ui te pan na kidawm vun, na pha ngawl a vawt te kidawm vun, pumpi a susia thei te kidawm vun.

Beware of those ‘dogs’! Beware of those mischievous workers! Beware of the men who mutilate themselves!

3 Banghangziam cile eite sia vunteap tan te i hi a, Pathian sia thaa taw i bia hi, taciang Christ Jesus sung ah i lungdam a, cilesa taw kisai in ki muanna i nei bua hi.

For it is we who are the circumcised — we whose worship is prompted by the Spirit of God, who exult in Christ Jesus, and who do not rely upon external privileges;

4 Keima in cilesa lam ah suan le muan tu ka nei hi. Ngual dang khatpo in cilesa lam ah suan tu ka nei hi, ci a ngaisun le, kei a tamzaw ka nei hi:

though I, if any man, have cause to rely even upon them. If any one thinks he can rely upon external privileges, far more can I!

5 Ni liat ni in vunteap ka tan hi, Israel minam, Benjamin suan, Hebrew mi sung pan Hebrew mi tatak ka hihi; thukham zui nataw cileang Pharisee ka hihi;

I was circumcised when eight days old; I am an Israelite by race, and of the tribe of Benjamin; I am a Hebrew, and the child of Hebrews. As to the Law, I was a Pharisee;

6 Thalawp in sepna lam ah pawlpi vawtsia pa ka hihi; thukham sung ah thutang suana taw kisai in paubang ngawl khi hi.

as to zeal, I was a persecutor of the Church; as to such righteousness as is due to Law, I proved myself blameless.

7 Ahihang hi te theampo sia keima atu in bang phatuam ziam, tabang te sia keima in Christ atu in supna in ka ngaisun hi.

But all the things which I once held to be gains I have now, for the Christ’s sake, come to count as loss.

8 Uplak tu bangma om ngawl hi, taciang ka Topa Christ Jesus heakna sia a tungnung bel ahi hu in, na theampo te supna in ka ngaisun hi: Ama atu in na theampo te supna ka thuak zo hi, taciang Christ ka san thei natu in, tua nate theampo sia eak bang in ka ngaisun hi,

More than that, I count everything as loss, for the sake of the exceeding value of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. And for his sake I have lost everything, and count it as refuse, if I may but gain Christ and be found in union with him;

9 Taciang keima thukham zui na hu in thutang suana ka nei bua hi, ahihang thutang suana sia Christ upna tungtawn hi a, upna hu in Pathian i thutang suana taw Christ sung ah hong mu tu hi:

any righteousness that I have being, not the righteousness that results from Law, but the righteousness which comes through faith in Christ — the righteousness which is derived from God and is founded on faith.

10 Tabang in Christ le a thawkikna vangletna ahizong, Ama thina ciangdong thuakkhawm tu in a thuakna te taw ki pawlkhopna ahizong, ka heak thei natu a hihi;

Then indeed I shall know Christ, and the power of his resurrection, and all that it means to share his sufferings,

11 Bangbangpo ahizong mithi te thawkikna sung ah ka kihel thei natu a hihi.

in the hope that, if I become like him in death, I may possibly attain to the resurrection from the dead.

12 Ka nei zo hi, ci hi ngawl in, ka cialcing zo hi, cina zong hi ngawl hi: ahihang Christ Jesus in keima hong heak bang in, keizong ka heak thei natu in tai kawm in ka del hi.

Not that I have already laid hold of it, or that I am already made perfect. But I press on, in the hope of actually laying hold of that for which indeed I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

13 Suapui te awng, keima le keima ka pom zo hi, ci ka ki ngaisun bua hi: ahihang hi thu khat ka seam hi, nungsang thu te manngil a, maisang hong thengpheang tu nate pom tu in ka del hi,

For I, Brothers, do not regard myself as having yet laid hold of it. But this one thing I do — forgetting what lies behind, and straining every nerve for that which lies in front,

14 Christ Jesus sung ah Pathian in tungsang pan hong sapna zawna thaman atu in ka mungtup na sang ah ka mainawt hi.

I press on to the goal, to gain the prize of that heavenward Call which God gave me through Christ Jesus.

15 Tua ahikom eite thaa lam ah a picing te theampo in hibang thinsung nei khawm tek tawng: taciang na khatpo ah ngaisutna dang na nei uh ahile, hi thu sia Pathian in note tung ah hong pualak tu hi.

Let all of us, then, whose faith is mature, think thus. Then, if on any matter you think otherwise, God will make that also plain to you.

16 Bangbangpo hi kale tu dong ciang ih zuisa hi ngeina taw mainawt tawng.

Only we are bound to order our lives by what we have already attained.

17 Suapui te awng, ka nuntak zia hong ette tek tavun, ette tu in na nei uh kote bangbang in nungta khu ziam, ci hong en nginge tavun.

Brothers, unite in following my example, and fix your eyes on those who are living by the pattern which we have set you.

18 Banghangziam cile mi tampi te sia amate nuntakzia te hu in, Christ thinglamte i ngalte suak uh hi, ci sia tu le tu in kong son zo hi, taciang tu zong in kap kawm in kong son hi:

For there are many — of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears — who are living in enmity to the cross of the Christ.

19 Amate i tawpna tu sia siatsuana hi a, amate i Pathian sia amate i ngilpi a hihi, taciang amate in leitung nate ngaisun uh a, amate i ki suantakna sia maizumna sung ah om hi.

The end of such men is Ruin; for their appetites are their God, and they glory in their shame; their minds are given up to earthly things.

20 Banghangziam cile i nuntakzia sia van ah om hi; tua mun pan in ngumpa Topa Jesus Christ i ngak hi:

But the State of which we are citizens is in Heaven; and it is from Heaven that we are eagerly looking for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

21 Ama in na theampo sia a nuai ah koi a, a sep thei na vanglian taw in a thaneam i pumpi sia, Ama minthanna pumpi bang in hong zeam tu a, hong laisak tu hi.

who, by the exercise of his power to bring everything into subjection to himself, will make this body that we have in our humiliation like to that body which he has in his Glory.
