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:
Philipi nawa Rangte mina Kristo damdi tongte, Chaas phansiitte nyia neng damdi roongmoote loong suh Pool nyia Timothi Rangte laksuh wanyi jiin nawa arah jengkhaap rah ah:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia seng Teesu Jisu Kristo ih sen suh semroongroong nyia heh tenthet ah toom kohan.
3 I thank my God every time I remember you.
Ngah ih nga Rangte suh sen dokthun saapoot rookwih di lakookmi kali ang;
4 In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy,
nyia saapoot rookwih ngah ih sen raang ih rangsoom angdi, tenroon lam ih kah soom ang
5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,
tumeah ruurangese tiit phang tumbaat tang tok dowa ih amah tuk ih sen ih chosok hali.
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.
Eno ngah ih kamkam ih thunhang seng Rangte, sen suh ese mootkaat phang re thukte warah ih hethoon doh Jisu Kristo Rangwuung maang thokthok tuk ih ese lam ih thoonsiit kohe.
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.
Ngah ih sen samthun rumhala ah epunthun et hang tumeah, sen ah saarookwih ngah ten ni tonglan! Rangte ih heh tiit tumbaat suh saapoot kotahang adi sen loong ih roong chosok tahe, amadi ngah phaatak ni tonglang tokdi nyia maangtong tokdi Rangte ruurangese raang ih laattang dowa ih dook ah.
8 God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
Ngah ih sen loong nga ten nawa ih samthun rumhala rah Jisu Kristo heteewah tenthun thun nawa ih dong thunthuk halang, nga haaki ah Rangte.
9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
Sen loong chamchi nah ese tenthun nyia sekthun ah, mongnook lam ih ehan han ih hak raangtaan suh nga rangsoom ban jeela,
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,
eno ba sen ih marah eseethoon ah mi danje an. Erah dowa ih ba sen ah Kristo rangwuung sa doh kaanju muh saksa ang an.
11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Jisu Kristo luulu ih Rangte men raksiit suh jen dongsiit ha amiisak ese dang ajang rah ih sen roidong ah meethuk ah.
12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.
Joon awaan loong, ngah ih sen suh jatthuk suh ramlang ah langla, nga chamnaang tungthoidi ba amiisak Rangte tiit ah ehan han ih jaat jaangjih ih hoon kata.
13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.
Mamah liidi, luungwang nok bante loongtang ih ngah phaatak ni tonglang asuh Kristo laksuh ang kano botongla ih dongjat rumha.
14 And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.
Erah dam ih hanpiite loong ah ih ngah phaatak ni tongkang no neng tenthun ah Teesu jiinko kamkam ih dong thun rumha, erah dowa ih ba neng ih Rangte tiit ah saapoot rookwih lacho laphaan ih tumbaat rum ah.
15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
Elang eah Kristo tiit ah mararah ih bah ethih tenthunte nyia changrook mina loong ih roong baat ha, enoothong mararah mina ih bah amiisak ese tenthun nawa ih baat ha.
16 The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
Erah loong ah mongnook tenthun lam ih re ah, tumeah, Rangte ih heh ruurangese tiit pangsuh mothuk halang ah neng ih ejat eha.
17 The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.
Rukho loong ih Kristo tiit ah toongtang lam in tabaat rumka, erah nang ih bah nyamnyook tenthun lam ih baat rumha; neng ih ngah phaatak ni tonglang tokdoh ehan ih boot chamnaang thuk suh thun rumha.
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,
Enoothong erah ih tumjih angjih bah tah angka! Erah nang ih bah Kristo tiit ah ese lam angkoja oh adoleh ethih tenthun lam ih angkoja oh etumbaat et ha asuh thong roonlang. Eno ngah ah toomroon ruh ete anglang,
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.
tumeah, ngah ih jat ehang Jisu Kristo chiiala lam ih sen rangsoom nawa ih chosok hali thoi ngah ah phaatak nawa edok ete anglang.
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.
Ngah ih nga tenni kamkam ih thun angno laalom lang, nga mootkaat doh babah uh nga rakri dongjih tamokang, etek ejih angkojang oh adoleh ething angkojang oh, nga tenchaan amadi anglang jun ih Kristo men ah ngah puh putang ih raksiit ang.
21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Erabah roidong ah tumjih ah? Ngah di bah, khothing roidong ah Kristo, etek ah tang ehan eseethoon roidong chojih ah.
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.
Enoothong amamah khothing ih ban tongsong ruh eh angbah mootkaat ese ah ngah ehanhan ih boot moh ang, ngah ih marah danjeejih ah erah tajatkang.
23 I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.
Ngah lamnyi nawa ih pheehoom halang. Ngah roidong ah thiinhaat suh nyia Kristo damdoh tong suh ah rapne ih thunhang, marah eseethoon ang ah;
24 But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
enoothong ngah ething ih tong ah sen raangtaan suh maaklong doh chap ang.
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,
Erah ngah ih kamkam ih thunhang, ngah ah sen damdoh ething ih roongtong hangno sen tenroon nyia sen tuungmaang boot huk korumha,
26 so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.
eno ba ngah sen damdoh we roongtong hang adoh, sen roidong doh sen ah Jisu Kristo suh ehan han ih boot khuungpook roonsoonjih ang an.
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,
Amadi, sen suh elongthoon reejih ah langla sen ruurangese ah Kristo tiit jun ih tongsong andoh se ah, eno ba ngah ih sen ah Rangte tiit suh rongrong ih tuungmaang laalom rum ano tongsong rumla ih japchaat ang, sen reenah ngah raahang no nga mik ih sok ra rumha bah uh adoleh lajen raarang bah uh ah, sen ah chiiala esiit nawa ih rongchap thuk halan ih jat ang.
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.
Senpi senra loong suh lacho theng; saarookwih tarong ih bantong an, eno ba senpi senra loong ah ih dongjat ah neng ah rangne eno sen ah rangkap eah, tumeah sen suh Rangte ih rangkap angjih ah kotahan.
29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,
Erah thoih sen suh Kristo mootkaat ah moh suh saapoot ah kohalan, heh suh hanpi laklak lah angthang ih, heh raangtaan ih chamnaang nep ih suh.
30 since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
Amadoh sen ngah damdoh raamui thengnah jen roong rung ehan. Erah raamui ah sen ih ehak di katup tahe raamui ah muilang, eno amadi chaat han rah uh erah raamui ah thok muilang.
