Philippians 3
1 [Now there are] other things [that I want to write about]. My fellow believers, continue to rejoice because [you belong to] the Lord. [Though] I will [now] write to you about those same matters [that I mentioned to you before, this is] not tiresome for me, and it will protect you [from those who would harm you spiritually].
Kasopi ngaitah teho, ipi chu hita jongleh Pakaiya kipah thanom'un. Hitiho seiding hi kachimpoi, chule hiche hi natahsanu honbitna ding ahijoi.
2 Beware of those [people who are dangerous] [MET] [like wild] dogs. They are [dangerous] evildoers [DOU]. Beware of them [since they are like people who] cut [other people’s] bodies [MET]. [They will harm you spiritually by insisting that you must let someone circumcise you in order for you to become God’s people] [MTY, MET].
Chuche uicha ho lah a chun chingtheiyun–kihongphauvin, hitobang miho chun thilse abolun, hitobang miho chun huhhing channa dinga chep natan diu ahi atiuve.
3 [Those people think that they are God’s people because someone has circumcised them]. But we, [not they], are [truly God’s people] [MET], [whether or not someone has] circumcised [us]. God’s Spirit [enables us to] [MTY] worship [God]; we praise Christ Jesus [because he has enabled us to become the people of God]. We do not believe [that God will consider/make us his people as a result of what someone has done to our] bodies [MTY, SYN].
Ajeh iham itileh eiho Pathen lhagaova kon a Pathen hou cheptan tahbeh ihiuvin, Yeshua Christa natoh chaisa a chu kingamdet'a, tahsalama kisonna neilou ihiuve.
4 [We do not trust in those rituals to make us acceptable to God], although I could very well do that [if it would be useful for me]. Philippians 3:4b-6 [In fact], [if I could benefit from it for my salvation], I could rely upon what I have done and who I am [MTY, SYN] more than anyone else could! I will tell you why.
Keima tahsalam boltheina jeh a kisong jeng jongleng kisong thei kahi. Tahbeh mongin midangin tahsa lama kisonna aneitheile keiman kisoncheh theina kaneiye.
5 I [was circumcised] {[Someone] circumcised me} when I was one week old. I am from the people of Israel. I am from the tribe of Benjamin. I am completely Hebrew in every way. [While I was] a member of the Pharisee [sect], I [strictly obeyed] the laws [that God gave Moses].
Keima ni-get nia cheptan kahin, Israel mi hina pen-gui chu kaneiyin, chule Benjamin phunga kon Hebrew mi atahbeh chu kahi. Judate Dan juina lama hakattah Pharisee ho lah a mi kahi;
6 I was [so] zealous [to make people obey those laws that] I caused the people who believe in Christ to suffer [because I thought they were trying to abolish those laws. Indeed], as far as my obeying those laws is concerned, no [one could] have accused [me by] saying that I had disobeyed any of those laws.
Keima katom ngai behseh jeh in houbung chu hoisetah in kana gimbol in, chule chonphat lamdol a keima danthua nolnabeiya jui bukima kahi.
7 Nevertheless, all such things as those, which I used to [consider to] be useful to me, those [very] things I now consider worthless, because I [want to know] Christ (OR, in order that I [may know] Christ).
Keiman hichehohi atila chu manlutah a kana ngaisang anahi, hinlah tun keiman Christan anatoh chaisa jal'in hiho chu mohseh in kageltai.
8 More than that, I consider all things to be worthless, compared to how great it is to know Christ Jesus my Lord. Because I [want to know] him [better] (OR, In order that I [may know] him [better]), I have rejected all things as worthless. I consider them [as useless as] [MET] rubbish, in order that I may have [a close relationship with] Christ [MET],
Christa Yeshua chu Pakai ahi tia kahet a pat'in hiho jouse chu pannabei bep in kagel tai. Keiman Christa chu kaphatchompi theina dinga thil adang jouse chu nen kikholkhom tobang bep'a kangaitoa kanungsun ahitai.
9 and in order that I may completely belong to him. It was not as a result of [my obeying] the laws [he gave Moses] that God erased the record of my sins. Instead, it is because I have trusted in Christ [that God] has declared that I am no longer guilty for my sins, and he enables me to act righteously. [It is] God [himself who] has erased the record of my sins, and he enables me to act righteously, [only] because I have trusted [in Christ].
Danthu juina a keima chonphatna chu hitalouva Amatoh thakhat kahia hitia chu keima Christa tahsan jal a chonpha eikisima ahitai. Ajeh chu tahsan jal'a Pathen in eiho chonpha a eisemu ahitai.
10 I [want] to know Christ [better and better]. Particularly, I [want] to continually experience [his working] powerfully in my life, [just like God worked powerfully when he] caused Christ to become alive after he died. I [also want to be continually willing] to suffer [in order that I may obey God], just like Christ suffered [in order that he might obey God. I also want] to be completely willing to die for [Christ], even as he died for me,
Keiman Christa chu kahet nomin, agimthohna chu thoh khoma, athina chu chankhompi kahi theina ding chule Ama thinaa kona kaithoupa thahat thilbol theina chu kachan theina ding kati ahi.
11 [because I expect that, as a result of God’s goodness], he will cause me to live again after I have died.
Hitia chu ipi iti jongleh keiman thinaa kona thokitna chu kachan teiding ahi.
12 I do not claim that I have already become completely like Christ Jesus; that is, I have not already become all that God intends me to be [DOU]. But I earnestly try to become [more and more like Christ], because he chose me [in order that I might become like him].
Keiman hicheho chu kaneitai kati ahipoi, ahilouleh keima chamkimna chu chang kahitai katipoi. Hinlah keima Christa Yeshuan einei banga hi keiman jong hiche chamkimna chu kaneina teiding kadel ahi.
13 My fellow believers, I certainly do not consider that I have already become completely like Christ. But I [am like a runner. A runner does not look backward] [MET]. Instead, he leans/stretches forward as he runs straight toward the goal [in order that he might win the race and get the prize. Similarly], I do not think about what I have already done.
Kasopiteho, keiman hichu kanei hih laiye, hinla hiche thil khat bou hi kagut ahi. Keiman achesa thil chu kasumilin, kamasanga ipi umham ti kagelkhoh in ahi.
14 Instead, I concentrate only on [continuing to become more and more like Christ right up to the end of my life] [MET]. As a result, because of my relationship with Christ Jesus, God will call/summon me to receive a reward from him [in heaven].
Keiman kilhaitetna chu achaina geiya lhailhunga chule Pathen in Christa Yeshua a eikounau van kipaman sanna ding mun chu hadel'a del kahi.
15 So, all of us who are [spiritually] mature should think this [same way]. If any [of you] do not think this same way regarding what I [have written here], God will reveal that to you.
Lhagaova apilhing chengsen hichehoa hin kinoptou hite. Ipiham jeh a lungkim louna nei aumle, hijong chu Pathen in naseichet peh tauvinte.
16 What is important is that we must conduct our lives according to what [God has already revealed to] us.
Hinlah eihon imasonnau chan geiya hi i-tuhchah diu angaiye.
17 My fellow believers, [all of] you should follow my example, and observe those people who act as I do, [in order that you may imitate them also].
Sopi deitah teho, keima umchan tobang hin nangho jong um uvin, chule keimaho nung juiya pangho um chana konin kihil uvin.
18 [Keep in mind that] there are many people [who say that they believe in Christ, but] who act [in such a way that shows] that they are opposed to [the teaching about] Christ [dying on] the cross [MTY]. I have told you about those people many times [before], and now I am sad, even crying, as I tell you [about them again].
Ijeh inem itileh masanga kanaseipeh matchet jiu bangun chule tua jong kamit a kamitlhi puma kaseipeh u ahi, amaho chu achonnau chun Christa Thingpel melmaho ahiuve ti aphotchenu ahi.
19 [God] will severely punish them. The things their bodies desire [MTY] have become [like] gods to them [MET]. They are proud of the things they should be ashamed of. They think only about what unbelievers [MTY] think about.
Amaho chun mahthahna lam amanouve. Amaho atumpiu chu a pathenu ahi, akithangatnau chu jachat akimuna diu, amaho chun tuhinkhoa dingbou agelu ahi.
20 [But remember] that we are citizens of heaven. And we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, [to return] from there.
Ahinlah eiho Pakai Yeshua Christa chenna van-gam mite ihiuve. Chule eiho huhhingpu ahungkitna ding chu kinem'a ngah jinga ihiuve.
21 By the power that enables him to put everything under his own control, he will change our weak bodies to become like his glorious body.
Aman itahsau thithei hi alah a, Amaa banga loupina vouphea akhel ding, Aman thil ijakai athuneina thunoiya akoi banga athua ahin nunsah ding ahi.
