Philippians 4
1 My fellow believers, I love you, and I long for you. You make me happy [MTY], and I am (proud of/pleased with) you. Dear friends, on the basis [of all that I have told you], continue to believe firmly in the Lord doing what I have just taught you.
Tua ahikom, ka it suapui te le ka phaw te awng, ka lungdamna le ka kham lukhu, ka it mama te, Topa sung ah kiptak in ding vun.
2 I urge [you(sg)], Euodia, and I urge [you(sg)], Syntyche, to again have a peaceful relationship with each other, [because you both have a relationship with] the Lord.
Euodias le Syntyche te, Topa sung ah ngaisutna kibang nei tu in amate ka thum hi.
3 And, my faithful comrade/partner, I request that you [(sg)] help them [to again have a peaceful relationship with each other], because they have [faithfully proclaimed] the message [about Christ] together with me, [even though many people] have opposed us [(exc)]. They have faithfully proclaimed that message together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names [are] in the book [in which God has written the names of all those people who will] live [forever].
Taciang, nang a tatak in ka hakkol puakpui, lungdamna thupha sung ah ka nasep pui nupi te le Clement te hu in a, taciang nuntakna laibu sung ah amate min a ki at ka nasep pui dang te zong hu in.
4 [Because you have a relationship with] the Lord, always rejoice! I’m saying it again, rejoice!
Topa sung ah lungdam tawntung vun: taciang kong ci kik hi, lungdam vun.
5 [Act in such a way that] everyone can know that you are gentle. The Lord is coming soon.
Na dikna uh mi theampo in hong he tahen. Topa sia a nai mama na ah om hi.
6 Do not worry about anything. Instead, in every situation, pray [to God], tell him what you need, and ask him [to help you] [DOU]. Also thank [him for what he does for you].
Bangma atu in thinngim heak vun; ahihang na theampo ah thungen le na kisapna uh tek sia lungdam ko kawm in na nget nop uh te Pathian tung ah hesak tavun.
7 As a result, God will enable you not to worry [about anything] [MTY] (OR, God will protect your minds [in every way]) [PRS]. [That is], he will cause you to have [inner] peace [because you have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. You will not be able to understand [PRS] [how you can be so peaceful in such difficult circumstances!]!
Taciang telthiamna theampo sang in a tungnungbel Pathian i thinnopna in, na thinsung uh le na ngaisutna uh te sia Christ Jesus tungtawn in hong keamcing tu hi.
8 My fellow believers, there is one more thing I [want you to do]. Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is right, whatever is morally pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is admirable, whatever is good, whatever [deserves] praise, those are the things that you should continually think about.
Akhakbel in, suapui te awng, bangpo ah a dik, a thuman, a thutang, a thiangtho, a deihuai, minpha, nuntak zia pha a om ahile, taciang poktak a om le, hi thu te ngaisun tavun.
9 Those things that I have taught you and that you have learned from me, those things that you have heard me [say] and that you have seen me [do], those are the things that you yourselves should continually do. As a result [of your doing those things], God, the one who [causes us to] have [inner] peace, will (be with/bless) you.
Kote tung pan na sinsa, na san sa, na zak sa le na mu sa uh thu te, seam vun; taciang thinnopna Pathian in hong ompui tu hi.
10 I rejoice greatly [and thank] the Lord because now, after some time, [by sending money to me] you have once again shown that you are concerned about me [EUP]. Indeed, you were concerned about me [all the time], but you had no opportunity [to show that you were concerned about me].
Ahihang Topa sung ah nasiatak in ka lungdam hi, tu in a khakbel nong deisakna uh thaksuak kik hi; tua thu sia note in hong deisak nu hi, ahihang hunpha na nei bua uh hi.
11 I am saying this not because I [am concerned that I] lack things [that I need]. In fact, I have learned to be content in whatever [situation] I am.
Ka kisapna hang in ka pau hi ngawl hi: banghangziam cile bangbang dinmun ah ka om zong in, tua thu sung ah ka lungkim tu in ka sinsiat sa a hihi.
12 [Specifically], I know how [to be content when] I do not have what I need, and I know how [to be content when] I have plenty. I have learned how [to be content] in any and every [situation] [DOU]. [Specifically], I have learned how [to be content when] I have enough to eat, and I have learned how [to be content when] I do not have enough to eat. I have learned how [to be content when] I have plenty [DOU] [of what I need], and I have learned [how to be content when] I lack [things].
Kisapna taw nuntakna bangbang, ci sia ka he hi, taciang a dim a ha in nei bangbang ziam, ci zong ka he hi: mun tatuam ah le na theampo sung ah, ngilva le ngilkial, neival le kisapna sung ah nuntak zia ka sin zo hi.
13 I am able (to cope with/to handle) every situation because [Christ] gives me the strength to do that.
Hong thahatsak Christ tungtawn in na theampo ka seam thei hi.
14 Nevertheless, you did very well by [helping me] (OR, [giving me money]) [EUP] while I have been suffering hardship.
Ahi tazong ka haksatna nong thuakpui na uh sia, na pha mama a vawt na hi uh hi.
15 [My friends there at Philippi], you yourselves know that when I first [proclaimed] the message about Christ [to you], and then left there to go to Macedonia [province], you were the only group of believers [LIT] who [sent me] gifts [EUP] in order that I might [proclaim that message] to others just like I did for you.
Tu in no Philippi mite in zong na he uh hi, tabang in lungdamna thupha a kipatna Macedonia pan ka pai lai in, piakna lam le nga na lam ah note simngawl pawlpi dang te in hong panpui bua uh hi.
16 Even [when I was] in Thessalonica [city], you sent [money] [EUP] to me two different times [IDM] in order to [supply] what I needed.
Banghangziam cile Thessalonica ah zong ka kisapna khatvei nong thakkik uh hi.
17 I say this, not because I desire that you give me money now. Instead, I desire that [God] will abundantly bless [MET] you as a result of [your helping me].
Letsong ka dei hang hi ngawl hi; ahihang na sum khol na mun uh ah a met tampi a khan tu ka dei hang hi zaw hi.
18 But I have received a very generous [gift] [EUP] [from you], and [as a result], I have plenty. I have an abundant supply [of what I need because] I have received from Epaphroditus the money [EUP] that you [sent to me]. God considers that your gift is very acceptable, and he is very pleased with it. [Your gift is like] a nice-smelling sacrifice [MET].
Ahihang note tung pan in Epaphroditus tung ah nong thak uh te ka nga hu in na theampo tampi tak, a dim in ka nei hi, tuate sia Pathian lung a kimsak ngim namtui, a san thamman biakpiakna a hihi.
19 [Moreover], God, [whom] I [serve], has an unlimited supply [of everything that we(inc) need]. And as a result, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, he will completely supply everything that you need.
Ahizong ka Pathian in na kisapna theampo Ama minthanna sung a om hauna bang in Jesus Christ tungtawn in hong pia tu hi.
Tu in Pathian le i Pa tung ah minthanna a tawntung in om tahen. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Greet [for me/us(exc)] all of God’s people [there, that is, all those who have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. The fellow believers who [serve God together] with me here send their greetings to you (OR, say they are thinking fondly of you).
Christ Jesus sung ah mithiangtho khatsim nukset vun. Keima taw a om suapui te in hong paupui hi.
22 All of God’s people [here] send their greetings to you. Especially the [fellow believers who work] in the palace of the emperor send their greetings to you.
Mi thiangtho theampo in hong paupui hi, a tuan in Ceasar innkuanpui te in hong paupui hi.
23 My desire is [that our] Lord Jesus Christ [will continue to] act kindly toward you all [SYN].
I Topa Jesus Christ i thuthiamna sia note theampo tung ah hong om tahen. Amen.
