Philippians 3
1 To sum up: my dear friends, delight in the Lord! It's not a burden for me to repeat these things to you—it's to keep you safe!
A tloihsoi ah ka manuca rhoek, Boeipa ah omngaih uh. Amah la nangmih taengah kan daek ham he ka yaikat ngawn moenih tedae nangmih te pangkha ham ni.
2 Watch out for the wolves, those who do evil, those who insist on physical circumcision—
Ui rhoek te dawn uh, bibikung thae rhoek te dawn uh, maehsah rhoek te dawn uh.
3 for it's we who are truly circumcised, worshiping by the Spirit of God, placing our assurance in Christ Jesus. We have no confidence in human abilities—
Mamih tah yahvinrhetnah neh n'om uh. Pathen kah Mueihla neh tho aka thueng uh tih Khrih Jesuh ah aka pomsang uh neh pumsa ah aka pangtung pawt rhoek ni.
4 for if there was a way to rely on human nature then I myself could have that confidence! If anyone thinks they have confidence in such human things, then I outdo them:
Kai khaw pumsa ah pangtungnah ka khueh van. Khat khat loh pumsa ah pangtung ham a tloe la a poek atah kai loh taoe ka poek ham om.
5 I was circumcised on the eighth day, I'm an Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin, a true Hebrew. Regarding legal observance I'm a Pharisee;
A hnin rhet dongkah yahvinrhetnah neh Israel namtu khuiah Benjamin koca ni he. Hebrew rhoek khuikah Hebrew, olkhueng dongah ka Pharisee coeng.
6 as for religious dedication I was a persecutor of the church; while in regard to doing right according to the law I was blameless!
Kohlopnah neh hlangboel te ka hnaemtaek. Olkhueng dongkah duengnah neh cuemthuek la ka om.
7 But in whatever way such things gained me anything, I count them as a loss for Christ.
Tedae kai ham hoeikhangnah balae aka om. He kah sungdaehnah he Khrih ham ni tila ka poek.
8 Truly, I count everything as loss in exchange for the incredible benefit I've gained through knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I've thrown away all these things for him, and consider them trash, so that I might gain Christ.
Te lakah ka Boeipa Jesuh Khrih mingnah tanglue kongah a cungkuem te sungdaehnah la om ham ni ka poek bal. Amah ham ka ti ah a cungkuem te ka hlong. Tedae te te aek bangla ka poek daengah ni Khrih te ka dang vetih amah dongah m'hmuh eh.
9 I want to be found in him, not being right because of what I've done, or what the law requires, but made right through confidence in Christ, set right by God through trusting in him.
Ka duengnah he olkhueng lamlong pawt tih Khrih tangnah lamlong ni n'dang. Tekah tangnah te Pathen kah duengnah soah a kungsut.
10 I want to really know him, and the power of his resurrection—to take part in his suffering and become like him in his death,
Te tah amah neh amah thohkoepnah dongkah thaomnah aka ming sak tih a patangnah dongah rhoinaengnah neh a dueknah aka rhoii sak la om.
11 so that somehow I might be part of the resurrection from the dead!
Duek khui lamloh thohkoepnah dongah ka pha mak atah ka ti.
12 Not that I've already got it all, or that I'm already perfect—but I run so that I might win what was won for me by Christ Jesus.
Ka dang tangtae tih ka rhuemtuet tangtae ngawn moenih. Tedae ka hnuktlak van atah ka pom van ni. Te ham te Khrih Jesuh rhangneh ka pom van coeng.
13 My friends, I don't consider that I've already won, but this is my one objective: disregarding what is behind me, I strain forward to what is in front of me.
Manuca rhoek, kai kamah loh pom ham ka poek pawt dae pakhat ah hnuksul te ka hmaai tih a hmaila ka kan.
14 I run towards the finish line to win the prize of God's invitation to heaven through Christ Jesus.
Khrih Jesuh dongah Pathen kah khuenah, soben kah kutdoe ham ni paelkinah te ka hnuktlak.
15 Those of us who are spiritually mature should think like this, and if you think anything different, then God will reveal this to you.
Te dongah lungcuei rhoek boeih long tah he tlam he poek uh sih. Pakhat khaw a hlinghlang la na poek uh koinih, te pataeng Pathen loh nangmih taengah a pumphoe sak ni.
16 We just need to make sure that we follow what we already have understood.
Tedae m'pha uh hil te tah amah la m'vai uh.
17 My friends, copy my example as others do and take note of the way to behave since you have us as a model.
Manuca rhoek, kai kah omih aka awt la om uh. Te dongah kaimih kah mueimae na dang uh bangla aka cet rhoek te paelki uh van.
18 The way some people live makes them enemies of the cross of Christ—as I've often told you before and repeat again though it pains me so much I want to weep.
Amih kah khokan te nangmih taengah muep ka thui taitu. Tahae ah khaw rhah doeah ka thui dae Khrih thinglam kah rhal la om uh.
19 They will end up being completely lost, these people whose “god” is their physical desires and who are proud of what they should be ashamed of, thinking only about the things of this world.
Amih kah a bawtnah tah pocinah ni. Amih kah pathen tah bungpuei la poeh tih thangpomnah tah amih kah yahkoi dongah a om pah. Te rhoek loh diklai koe te a poek uh.
20 But our homeland is heaven, and we're waiting for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from there too.
Tedae mamih kah pilnam tah vaan ah ni a om. Te lamkah khangkung Boeipa Jesuh Khrih te n'lamtawn uh bal.
21 He will re-create our defective human bodies so that they will be made like his glorious body using the power by which he brings everything under his control.
Amah loh mamih kah mathoe pum he amah kah thangpomnah pum phek la a tho ni. Bibi a noeng van bangla a cungkuem te amah taengah boe a ngai sak pataeng.
