Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ; to all the saints in Christ Jesus, who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.
Kai Pawl hoi Timote, Jisuh Khrih e a san lah kaawm e ni Filippi kho kaawm e bishopnaw hoi hotunaw, Khrih Jisuh thung tami kathoungnaw pueng koe ca na patawn awh.
2 Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Maimae Pa Cathut hoi Bawipa Jisuh Khrih koehoi e lungmanae hoi roumnae teh nangmouh koe awm lawiseh.
3 I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you,
Nangmouh na pouk nah tangkuem, Cathut koe lunghawinae lawk ouk ka dei.
4 Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;
Ka ratoum tangkuem nangmouh hanlah lunghawinae lungthin hoi pou ka ratoum.
5 For your communication in the gospel of Christ from the first day until now.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh teh apasueke hnin koehoi atu totouh a thaw kahawi dawk cungtalah rei ka tawk e lah na o awh.
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus.
Nangmouh koe hnokahawi ka kamtawng e Cathut ni Jisuh Khrih e hnin totouh thaw na cum sak a han doeh ti yuemnae ka tawn.
7 As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that in my bands, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.
Nangmanaw hoi ka kâkuen lah hettelah pouknae ka tawn e heh kahawi e lah ao. Nangmanaw pueng ni kai thongim ka bo nah thoseh, kamthang kahawi deinae dawk thoseh, kai hoi a lungmanae cungtalah rei ka hmawng awh e lah na o awh dawkvah nangmouh teh ka lungthin dawk pou na o awh.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
Nangmouh teh Jisuh Khrih e lungpatawnae lahoi na rabuipoung awh tie na kapanuekkhaikung teh Cathut doeh.
9 And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:
Nangmae lungpatawnae teh a tang e lungangnae hoi pouknae aphunphun dawk hoehoe kuep teh,
10 That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,
Ka lentoe e hno hah kapeknae na tawn thai awh nahan hoi Jisuh Khrih e hnin nah kathoung lahoi toun awm laipalah na o thai awh han.
11 Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Jisuh Khrih lahoi lannae apaw dawk na kuep thai awh teh Cathut lentoe kamnue thai nahane hoi a bawilennae na pholen thai awh nahan ka ratoum.
12 Now, brethren, I desire you should know, that the things which have happened to me, have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel:
Hmaunawnghanaw kai dawk kaphate hnonaw ni kamthang kahawi hoe a kampai sak tie na panue thai awh nahanlah na ngai khai awh.
13 So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places;
Hatdawkvah, Khrih kecu dawk kateknae ka khang e heh, siangpahrang im koe dueng laipalah, hmuen tangkuem a kamnue.
14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, growing confident by my bands, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.
Kapap e hmaunawnghanaw ni kai ni kateknae ka khang kecu dawk Bawipa dawk yuemnae a cak awh teh, takinae tawn laipalah taranhawi laihoi kamthang lawk a dei awh.
15 Some indeed, even out of envy and contention; but some also for good will preach Christ.
Tangawn ni teh hmuhmanae lungthin hoi kâtaran hanlah Khrih kamthang a dei awh.
16 Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
A lungpatawnae lungthin hoi ka dei e taminaw ni kahawi e kamthang heh Bawipa ni na poe e thaw doeh ti a panue dawk pahrennae lungthin katang hoi a pâpho awh.
17 And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.
Alouknaw ni teh kai katek lah ka onae dawkvah, runae hoehoe kâhmo seh tie ngai lahoi yah, kâtânae lung hoi Khrih e kamthang kahawi teh a dei awh.
18 But what then? So that by all means, whether by occasion, or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Telah pawiteh bangtelamaw dei awh han, kâsak laihoi nakunghai, lawkkatang lahoi nakunghai, Khrih kong dei lah ao dawk ka konawm. Hmalah hai ka ko bout a nawm han.
19 For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae ratoumnae naw hoi Jisuh Khrih e Muitha koehoi kabawpnae naw hoi hetnaw teh, kai ka hloutnae lah ao han telah ka panue.
20 According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be confounded, but with all confidence, as always, so now also shall Christ be magnified in my body, wither it be by life, or by death.
Kai teh bangpatet hno dawk hai kayayeirai takinae awm hoeh. Yampa e patetlah atu hai taranhawinae hoi ka kawi lahun, ka hring hai thoseh, ka due hai thoseh ka takthai dawk hoi Khrih teh pholen lah ao han tie ngaihawinae kalenpoung ka tawn.
21 For to me, to live is Christ; and to die is gain.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai kahringnae teh Khrih doeh, ka due haiyah meknae lah ao.
22 And if to live in the flesh, this is to me the fruit of labour, and what I shall choose I know not.
Hahoi ka hring rah pawiteh aphu kaawm e thaw bout ka tawk thai nahanlah bangmaw ka rawi han ti ka panuek hoeh.
23 But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.
Hatdawkvah kai teh hno kahni touh e rahak vah ka o. Kai teh talai hringnae ceitakhai vaiteh Khrih hoi o hanelah ka ngai toe, hot teh hoe kahawi e doeh.
24 But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you.
Hateiteh, hete tak hoi kai roup kaawm rah pawiteh nangmouh hanlah hoe pankinae lah ao.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:
Hatdawkvah yuemnae a roung nahan hoi lunghawi nahanlah kahring rah pawiteh nangmouh hoi cungtalah rei o han tie hah yuemnae lahoi ka panue.
26 That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.
Hat nah nangmouh koe bout ka tho toteh kai hoi Jisuh Khrih dawk na lunghawinae hoe apap han.
27 Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel.
Bangtelah nakunghai nangmouh teh Khrih e kamthang kahawi hoi kamcu lah khosak awh. Hottelah na hring awh pawiteh Muitha buet touh dawk kacaklah na kangdout e lah awm vaiteh, lungkânging lahoi Khrih e kamthang kahawi yuemnae dawk thaw rei ka tawk e lah na o awh han. Na ka taran e naw kong dawk, takinae banghai awmhoeh tie hah, nangmouh hoi ka kâhmo nakunghai, kamphei nakunghai ka panue thai han.
28 And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God:
Hottelah takihoehnae teh ahnimouh hanlah rawk kahmanae lah ao. Nangmouh hanelah teh rungngangnae lah ao teh Cathut koehoi ka tho e lah ao.
29 For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Khrih thaw tawk e hateh ama yuem e dueng laipalah, ama hanelah runae khang sin hanelah hai na poe sin e a tho dawkvah,
30 Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me, and now have heard of me.
kai ni ka kâhmo e hai na panue awh. Atu hai kai ni ka kâhmo e patet e hah nangmouh ni na kâhmo awh.
