Philippians 3
1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in our Lord. To write these things again and again to you, is not irksome to me, because they make you cautious.
Ka benae aw, akpäihnaka ka pyen hlü betü ta, Bawipa üng nami yümmatnak am jekyai ua. Maa ka yuk päng ka yuk be be vai am mhmanei ngü. Ka yuk be be üngpi nangmia üpawmnak vai ni.
2 Beware of dogs; beware of evil doers; beware of the clipped in flesh.
Ami mtisa mawih vaia pyen lü, akse pawhkia khyange uie cen jah mceiei u bä.
3 For we are the real circumcision, who worship God in spirit, and glory in Jesus the Messiah, and place no reliance on the flesh.
Vun mawih akcang yaheiki ta amimi am ni, mimi ni. Isetiüng Pamhnam cun ngmüimkhya üng sawkhah lü Khritaw Jesuh am mi awhcah jekyaikie. Akhawkpunga bilawh üng am mi jumei u.
4 And yet I might place reliance on the flesh. For, if any one thinketh that his reliance should be on the flesh, I might do so more than he.
Khyanga bilawhe ka jah ümpa na khawhki. Khyang kce he naw akhawkpunga khyanga bilawhe jah ümna khaia a ngaihei üng, kei üng sehlen lü jah ümnak vai veki.
5 Circumcised when eight days old; of the stock of Israel; of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew, descendant of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;
Khawmhnüp khyüh ka law üng vun ka mawiki. Kei Isarel khyangmjü, Benjamin pasanga ka kyaki. Hebru khyangmjü kcanga pi ka kyaki. Judah Thum üng asängei üng pi kei Pharisea ka kyaki.
6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; and as to the righteousness of the law, I was without fault.
Judah Khawning ktha na lü sangcim ka jah mkhuimkha khawiki. Thum läklamki a ngsungpyun üng ta, kei üng ia mkhyenak am ve.
7 But these things, which had been my excellence, I have accounted a detriment, because of the Messiah.
Cunüngpi cängtainaka ka jah ngaihe naküt cun Khritaw üng ka jah sumpaknaka ka ngaiki.
8 And now also I account them all a detriment, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus the Messiah my Lord; for the sake of whom, I have parted with all things, and have accounted them as dung, that I might gain the Messiah,
Acun he däk am ni; ka Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw ksingnak hin aphu küi säihki tia ksing lü anaküt ka hawih ni. Acun he naküt cun Khritaw yahei vaia phäha jah hawih lü, anaküt cun phyawksaka ni ka jah ngaih. Anaküta kthaka ka hlüei ta Khritawa kya lü,
9 and be found in him; since my righteousness is not now that from the law, but that which is from faith in the Messiah, that is, the righteousness which is from God;
Ani üng avana ka ngdawnki. Thum ka läklama phäh kei üng ngsungpyunnak am ve. Tukbäih ta jumnaka khana ngdüi lü Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawkia ngsungpyunnak, Khritaw jumnak üngkhyüh lawki ngsungpyunnak ka taki.
10 that thereby I might know Jesus, and the efficacy of his resurrection; and might participate in his sufferings, and be assimilated to his death:
Ka ngjak hlü naküt cun: Khritaw ksing vai, a thawhnak bea johit hmuhtheh sawngtawh vai, a khameinak khameipüi lü thihnak a khameia kba ka khamei hnga vai ni.
11 if so be, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
Thihnak üngkhyüh xünnaka äpeinak am ka tho be khai.
12 Not as though I had already taken the prize, or were already complete; but I run in the race, if so I may take that, for which Jesus the Messiah took me.
Cunsepi ka yah pängki, ka kümcei pängki ka tinak hlü am ni. Ngkhyengnak yah khaia ka kthanak hin Jesuh Khritaw naw a na man kyeta phäh ni.
13 My brethren, I do not consider myself, as having taken it. But one thing I know, that I forget the things behind me, and reach for the things before me;
Ka benae aw, akcanga ta acun ka yah pängkia am ngaiei veng. Cunüngpi, ka bi ta; ka hnua veki mhnih lü ka maa veki cun ka kpha vaia ka khyaih khawha akdawsäiha ka pawhki.
14 and I run straight for the goal, that I may obtain the prize of victory of the call of God from on high, by Jesus the Messiah.
Acunakyase, ngkhyengnak ka yah vaia phäh ka bünak da ka dawng nglätki ni. Acun cun Pamhnam naw khankhaw ngkhyengnak ka yah khaia Jesuh Khritaw üng na khüki ni.
15 Therefore let those who are perfect, have these views; and if ye differently view any thing, God will reveal that also to you.
Ngmüimkhya üng xüxam pängki mimi abäng naw mlungkaw mat takei vai hlüki. Cunüngpi akhäka mlungkaw a hngalang üng, Pamhnam naw angkhaia ning jah ksingsak khai.
16 Nevertheless, that we may attain to this, let us proceed on in one path, and with one consent.
Aiakyasepi, tuh vei cäp mi läklam lawa thum mat üng mi cit nglät kawm u.
17 Be like me, my brethren; and contemplate them, who walk after the pattern ye have seen in us.
Ka benae aw, na ngcuhngkih na ua. Akdawa ve khaia kami jah mtheia awmih ninga kba awmih ua.
18 For there are many who walk otherwise; of whom I have often told you, and I now tell you, with weeping, that they are adversaries of the cross of the Messiah;
Ahlana khawvei ka ning jah mtheh khawi, atuh pi ka miktui am pyen betü veng: ami kcünsak üng Khritawa thihnak Kutlamktunga yea kyaki akda awmki he.
19 whose end is destruction; whose god is their belly, and their glory their shame; whose thoughts are on things of the earth.
Amimi cun cimpyehnak mulai meia pha khaie, isetiüng ami mtisa hlü mhnamnakie. Ami ngkeeinak vai sü awhcahnakie. Khawmdeka khawhthem cim mlungnakie.
20 But our concern is with heaven; and from thence we expect our Vivifier, our Lord, Jesus the Messiah;
Acunüngpi, mimi ta khankhaw khyanga mi kya lü khankhaw üngkhyüh law khai jah küikyanki Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw mi mtätkie ni.
21 who will change the body of our abasement, that it may have the likeness of the body of his glory, according to his great power, whereby all things are made subject to him.
Ani naw a uknaka kea avan taknak khawha johit üng thi theikia mi pumsa hin pi hlüngtai dawkyakia a pumsaa mäiha pyang khai.
