Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons:
Jesuh Khrih kah sal rhoi Paul neh Timothy loh Philipi ah aka om hiphoelkung rhoek, tueihyoeih rhoek neh Jesuh Khrih ah hlangcim rhoek boeih taengah kan yaak sak.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
A pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih taengkah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah tah nangmih taengah om saeh.
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
Nangmih kah poekkoepnah cungkuem dongah ka Pathen te ka uem.
4 always in every prayer of mine for all of you, making my requests with joy,
Kai kah rhenbihnah takuem ah nangmih rhoek boeih ham omngaihnah neh rhenbihnah ka saii taitu he khaw,
5 for your partnership in the Good News from the first day until now;
A tongcuek khohnin lamkah tahae duela olthangthen dongah nangmih kah bulbonah dongah ni.
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.
He he boeih ka ngaitang ngawn ta. Te dongah nangmih khuiah bibi then aka tong long tah Jesuh Khrih kah khohnin duela a khah ni ta.
7 It is even right for me to think this way about all of you, because I have you in my heart, because, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
Nangmih thinko khuiah ka om dongah nangmih boeih yueng la poek ham he kai ham tah a dueng la om ngawn. Kai kah thongtlak dongah khaw, olthungnah dongah khaw olthangthen kah caksaknah dongah khaw lungvatnah te kai aka bawn puei laboeih na om uh.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
Kai kah laipai la Pathen om ta. Jesuh Khrih kah kotak dongah nangmih rhoek boeih te bahoeng kan ngaidam.
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
He tla ka thangthui daengah ni nangmih kah lungnah loh mingnah neh hmuhmingnah cungkuem dongah taoe taoe a pungtai pueng eh.
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be pure and blameless for the Day of Christ;
Te dongah a tanglue te na soepsoei uh daengah ni Khrih kah khohnin ah tah a cuemhmuet neh a cilrhik la na om uh eh.
11 being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Pathen kah thangpomnah neh koehnah ham Jesuh Khrih lamkah duengnah thaihtak tah soep coeng.
12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;
Manuca rhoek, kai taengah taoe aka thoeng olthangthen kah rhoengcawtnah te nangmih ming sak ham ka ngaih coeng.
13 so that it became evident to the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;
Te dongah Khrih ham kai kah thongtlak te khoboeiyung boeih neh a tloe boeih ah a pha tih mingpha coeng.
14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word without fear.
Te phoeiah boeipa ah manuca a yet loh kai kah thongtlak te a ngaitang uh. Te dongah sayalh la olka thui ham taoe a ngaingaih uh.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
Hlangvang loh uethnetnah, tohhaemnah neh om uh ngawn dae hlangvang ngawn tah Khrih kawng te kolonah la a hoe uh.
16 The latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
Cungvang ah lungnah lamlong tah olthangthen kah olthungnah ham n'tuek tila a ming uh.
17 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains.
Tedae koevoeinah neh Khrih olthang aka doek rhoek tah cuemcaih pawh. Kai kah thongtlak vaengkah phacip phabaem te soehsal ham ni a cai uh.
18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether out of false motives or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
Te phoeikah tah mebang nim? Mueituengnah mailai nen khaw oltak nen khaw a longim boeih neh Khrih kawng doek mai cakhaw hekah ham he ka omngaih tih koep ka omngaih pueng ni.
19 For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance, through your petition and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
He tah nangmih kah rhenbihnah neh Jesuh Khrih Mueihla kah bomnah lamloh kai ham khangnah la poeh ni tila ka ming.
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
Ka rhingoelnah neh ngaiuepnah vanbangla yah ka pok mahpawh. Tedae sayalhnah cungkuem neh hingnah lamlong khaw, dueknah lamlong khaw a yoeyah la ka pum dongah Khrih a oep van pawn ni.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Kai ham tah ka hing khaw Khrih tih ka duek te khaw ka hoeikhangnah ni.
22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I do not make known what I will choose.
Tedae pumsa ah hing ham akhaw te tah kai ham bibi kah a thaih la om tih ka tuek ham te ka ming pawh.
23 But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
Te dongah voeivang lamloh n'nan. Ka bal ham neh Khrih taengah om ham te hoehhamnah ka khueh te muep then ngai.
24 Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
Tedae pumsa ah om he nangmih ham tangkik ni.
25 And since I am persuaded of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
Te dongah ka pangtung he ka ming daengah ni ka rhaehrhong vetih nangmih boeih te namamih kah rhoengcawtnah neh tangnah dongkah omngaihnah dongah ka nguel eh.
26 that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
Te daengah ni nangmih kah thangpomnah loh kai dongkah neh kai lamloh nangmih taengah mikhmuh la Khrih Jesuh dongah a pungtai eh.
27 Only let your manner of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
Khrih olthangthen kah a tingtawk la dawk hing uh. Te daengah ni ka pawk tih nangmih kan hmuh vaengah khaw, lakhla vaengah khaw, nangmih kawng te ka yaak eh. Mueihla pakhat dongah na pai uh tih, olthangthen kah tangnah dongah pakhat la hinglu na cut uh te ta.
28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
Te phoeiah boekoek rhoek kongah a hong nen khaw hlawt let uh boeh. Te tah amih ham pocinah dongah mingphanah ni. Tedae nangmih ham tah khangnah la om. He tah Pathen taeng lamkah ni.
29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
Nangmih taengah Khrih yueng la m'paek coeng. Amah dongah aka tangnah ham bueng pawt tih amah yueng la aka patang taengah khaw a paek.
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear is in me.
Kai dongah thingthuelnah aka khueh rhoek te amah la na hmuh uh tih ka khuikah te na yaak uh coeng.
