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:

Jesus Christ i sal te, Paul le Timothy in, Philippi a om Christ Jesus sung ah mithiangtho te, husya te le pawlpi upa te:

2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I Pa Pathian le Topa Jesus Christ tung pan thuthiamna le thinnopna sia note tung ah hong om tahen.

3 I thank my God every time I remember you.

Note kong phaw sim in ka Pathian ka pok hi,

4 In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy,

Note theampo atu thu ka nget sim in tatsat ngawl lungdamko na taw ka ngen hi,

5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,

Lungdamna thupha sung ah na ki pawlkhop na uh hu in a ni phitbel ni pan tu ni dong;

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.

Hi thu sung mama ah ki muanna ka nei hi, note sung ah nasep pha a pan pa in Jesus Christ ni dong seam suak tu hi:

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.

Note theampo i thu ka ngaisut tawntung sia thuman a hihi, banghangziam cile ka thinsung ah na om uhhi; thong ka tak ciang ahizong, lungdamna thupha ka dinpui a, ka kipsak ciang ahizong, note theampo in ka thuthiamna taw nong dinpui uh hi.

8 God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

Jesus Christ i itna sung ah na vekpi uh in bangza in hong phawk khi ziam, ci sia Pathian ka tetti a hihi.

9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,

Taciang na ki itna uh sia heakna le thukhenna theampo sung ah tam seseam a khan natu ahizong;

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,

Tabang in note Christ ni dong thintak le khialna om ngawl in, a phabel nate honglak thei tu in ahizong;

11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Jesus Christ tungtawn in thutang suana i nga te taw kidim a, Pathian minthanna le pokna na hi thei natu uh in, thu ka ngen hi.

12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.

Ahihang suapui te awng, ka tung ah hong theng thu te sia lungdamna thupha ki zel na hong suak hi;

13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.

Tua ahikom tua Christ i sung ah ka thongtakna sia kumpi innsung theampo le mun tatuam ah kilang hi;

14 And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.

Taciang Topa sung ah suapui tampi te sia thong ka tak hu in, ki muang saseam a, launa om ngawl in Pathian thu sia hangsan seseam in son uh hi.

15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.

Pawlkhat te in Christ thu sia hazatna le enna taw in hil uh hi; taciang pawlkhat te in deisakna pha taw son uh hi:

16 The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.

Pawlkhat te in Christ thu sia ki enna taw hil uh a, thintak taw a hil bua uh hi, keima thongtakna sia haksatna ki belap tu in ngaisun uh hi:

17 The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.

Ahihang a dang pawlkhat te in keima sia lungdamna thupha a panpui tu in hong ki koi ka hi siahe a, itna taw phuang uh hi.

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,

Tabang ahile bang hi tu ziam? Ahi tazong, a son theam uh ahizong, a hibale, thuman taw ahizong, bangbang po ahizong Christ thuhil ahi na uh le ka lungdam hi, taciang maisang zong ka lungdam suak tu hi.

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.

Banghangziam cile na thu ngetna uh le Jesus Christ i Thaa panpui na tungtawn in hi thu sia ka suatakna hong suak tu hi, ci ka he hi,

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.

Ka thinsung takpi taw muang in ka lamet bangma in, bang thu po ahizong ka mai a zum bua hi, ahihang hangsanna theampo taw tatsat ngawl in ka pumpi sung ah nuntakna tungtawn in, a hibale thina tungtawn in, Christ sia lapsang hi tu hi,

21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Banghangziam cile keima atu in nuntak na sia Christ a hihi, taciang thina zong phattuamna om hi.

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.

Ahizong ka pumpi sung ah ka nungta ahile, hisia in ka nasep i nga a hihi: ahihang bang teal zaw tu ci sia ka he bua hi.

23 I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.

Banghangziam cile thu ni ki laklaw a ciak na mun ah ka om hi, pusuak a, Christ taw omkhop tu ka uk hi; tasia thu phazaw pek hi:

24 But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

Ahihang pumpi sung ah om tu sia note atu in kisam zaw hi.

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,

Taciang hi ki muanna ka nei hu in, na upna uh i lungdamna a tam seseam thei natu in, pumpi sung ah om tu sia note theampo taw kizom in ka om tu hi, ci ka he hi;

26 so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.

Tabang in note kung ah kong paikik na tungtawn in Jesus Christ sung ah keima atu in na lungdamna uh sia dimlet seseam tu hi.

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,

Na nuntak zia uh sia Christ i lungdamna thupha bek taw hi tahen: tabang in keima hongpai in note te kong mu a, a hibale keima ka om ngawl sung ah, note sia thaa khat sung ah kiptak in ma na pang khawm uh a, lungdamna thupha upna atu in thinsung khat taw na hanciam tek na uh thu ka zak thei natu in;

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.

Taciang na ngal te uh hang in bangma lau heak vun: tabang te sia amate atu in siatsuana kilangsak te a hihi, ahihang note atu in Pathian i ngupna a hihi.

29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,

Banghangziam cile note kung ah Christ taang in ama up tu bek in hong pia ngawl a, Ama atu in thuak tu zong hong pia hi;

30 since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.

Keima sung ah na mu uh ki langpan na le tu in na zak uh thu sia, note in zong na nei uh thu a hihi.
