Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:
Jesu Khrih a tyihzawih na ak awm, Paul ingkaw Timote ing, Filipi awh ak awm thlakciimkhqi boeih ingkaw thlangboel ak sawikungkhqi ingkaw bibikung khqi venawh:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Bawipa Jesu Khrih ingkaw ni Pa Khawsa am qeennaak ingkaw ngaihqepnaak awm seh.
3 I thank my God every time I remember you.
Nangmih ka nik poek khqi a hoeiawh Khawsa venawh zeelawi kqawn nyng.
4 In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy,
Nangmih boeih aham kak cykcah hoeiawh, awmhly doena cykcah poepa nyng,
5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,
khawnghin ak cyk awhkawng tuh dy awithang leek kqawnnaak awh nami paa thai a dawngawh,
6 being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Nangmih a venawh ak leek bibi ak tylkung ing Jesu Khrih nyn a pha dy ak soep cana bibi kaw, tice upvoetnaak am awm hy.
7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart. For in my chains and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are all partners in grace with me.
Nangmih akawng kai ing vemyihna kak poek ve kai aham thym hy, kak kawlung khuiawh ka nik poek khqi poepa a dawngawh; thiqui ing khihna awm nyng awithang leek ve dyih pyi nyng caksak nyng awm, nangmih taw kai ingkaw Khawsa qeennaak ak pang haihna ni awm u hyk.
8 God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
Nangmih ve Jesu Khrih a lungnaak ing i ikawmyih tluk ka ni kyngnaak khqi tice Khawsa ing sim hy.
9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
Kak cykcahnaak taw: nangmih a lungnaak ce cyihnaak simnaak ing a be naak khqoet khqoet aham na ni,
10 so that you may be able to test and prove what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
cawh ni ak leek soeih ce ngaih thai unawh Khrih a khawnghi a pha hlan dy coet amak kap cimcaihnaak ing nami awm hly thai,
11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Khrih awhkaw ak law dyngnaak ak thaih ing be kawm u tiksaw - Khawsa a boeimang zoeksangnaak na a awm hly.
12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.
Kak khanawh ik-oeih ak awm ing awithang leek haina maa sak hy, tice koeinaakhqi, sim sak ham ngaih nyng.
13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.
Ahu nataw boei a im ak qehkhqi ingkaw thlang boeih a venawh Khrih aham ni thiqui ing khih na ka awm tice ak ciim na dang hy.
14 And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.
Thiqui ing khih na ka awmnaak a dawngawh, Khrih awh koeinaa thlang ak kuum bet ing Khawsak awi ce qal leeknaak ing kqih kaana khypyi ham thaawmnaak hu uhy.
15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
Thlang a vang ingtaw Khrih ce ytnaak ingkaw kqawnseetnaak doena kqawn pai uhy, cehlai thlangvang bai ingtaw kawlung ak leek soeih taak doena kqawn uhy.
16 The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
cekkhqi ing Awithang leek ak kqawn hamna Khawsa ing ve bibi ani pek niti sim unawh lungnaak ak camawh ak kqawn khqi na awm uhy.
17 The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.
Thlangvang ingtaw a tangtang na am bi unawh, nang aw kai aw tinaak kawlung ing suibai ami bai a kawnglamawh awipungnaak ak awm kawina amik sai ni.
18 What then is the issue? Just this: that in every way, whether by false motives or true, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
Cehlai ikawmyihna a awm? A hqawng na mai awm, atak na mai awm Khrih ce khypyina ak awm ni, cedawngawh kak kaw zeel hy. Oeih, zeel poe kawng nyng.
19 because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance.
Cetaw nangmih ak cykcahnaak ing Jesu Khrih Myihla ak pyinaak ak caming, ka venawh ik-oeih ak awm ve ka loetnaak na coeng kaw tice sim nyng.
20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
Am chak qoe ti kawng, tuh awhkawng a poepa na ka pum awh Khrih ve thihnaak ing am awhtaw hqingnaak ing aw zoeksang na awm kaw, tice qehdam doena ngaih-uu nyng.
21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Kai aham ka hqingnaak ve Khrih ni, ka thih awh awm ka hoeihkhangnaak ni.
22 But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know.
Cehlai ka pum awh ve ka hqing poe awhtaw, ka bibinaak ak thaih qah kaw tinaak ni, Cehlai ikaw kak tyk lah voei? Am sim nyng!
23 I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.
Ik-oeih pakkhih anglak lawawh awm hqoeng nyng: kamah ingtaw cet nawh Khrih ing awm haih ngaih bet hawh nyng, ce ce nep bet hy;
24 But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
cehlai pum awh ka awm ve nangmih aham ngoe hyn hy.
25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
Awm hyn kawng tice sim nyng, nangmih cangnaak awh nimi taainaak aham nami venawh awm poe kawng nyng ti sim nyng.
26 so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.
Cawh ni nangmih mi ni awm haihnaak ak caming Jesu Khrih awh nami zeelnaak ce kai ak camawh a ngen hly hy.
27 Nevertheless, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending side by side for the faith of the gospel,
Oeih ikawmyihna awm seiawm, nangmih a khawboe qamlang ce Khrih ak awithang leek ing ang qoep na awm sak uh. Cawhtaw, kai law nyng ka ni huh khqi awh awm, am law nyng nami kawng kang zaak awh awm, kawlung pynoet ing dyi kawm u tiksaw, thlang pynoet amyihna awithang leek cangnaak awh naming dyih hly thai hy,
28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a clear sign of their destruction but of your salvation, and it is from God.
nangmih anik oelh thlangkhqi ce am kqih voel ti kawm uk ti. A mingmih aming tluk naak aham simnaak taw ve ni, cehlai nangmih taw hul na awm kawm uk ti - Khawsa ing ni hul khqi kaw.
29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,
Amah ce cangnaak aham doeng kaana, anih aham kyinaak huh ham awm Khrih ang zyng na nangmih a venawh peek na awm hawh hy,
30 since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
tuh kai ing ka huh kyinaak huh lawt aham nangmih awm awm u hyk ti.
