Philippians 1
1 [I], Paul, and Timothy, [who is with me, are] men who serve Christ Jesus. I [am writing this letter] to all [of you who are] pastors and deacons in Philippi [city] and to the rest of God’s people [there who have a close relationship] with Christ Jesus.
Philipi nawa Rangte mina Kristo damdi tongte, Chaas phansiitte nyia neng damdi roongmoote loong suh Pool nyia Timothi Rangte laksuh wanyi jiin nawa arah jengkhaap rah ah:
2 [We both] (OR, [I]) [pray that] God, [who is] our Father, and Jesus Christ, [who is our] Lord, [will continue to] be kind to you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.
Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia seng Teesu Jisu Kristo ih sen suh semroongroong nyia heh tenthet ah toom kohan.
3 I thank my God whenever I think about you.
Ngah ih nga Rangte suh sen dokthun saapoot rookwih di lakookmi kali ang;
4 Every time [DOU] I pray [for you], I joyfully pray [DOU] for all of you.
nyia saapoot rookwih ngah ih sen raang ih rangsoom angdi, tenroon lam ih kah soom ang
5 I [thank God and rejoice] because you have been [working] together with me in order to [make known] the good message about Christ. [You started doing that] when you first [MTY] [believed it, and you have continued doing it] until now.
tumeah ruurangese tiit phang tumbaat tang tok dowa ih amah tuk ih sen ih chosok hali.
6 I am completely confident that [God], who has begun to do in you what is good, (OR, that since [God] has begun to do in you what is good, he) will continue to do that until he finishes doing it on the day Christ Jesus [MTY] [returns].
Eno ngah ih kamkam ih thunhang seng Rangte, sen suh ese mootkaat phang re thukte warah ih hethoon doh Jisu Kristo Rangwuung maang thokthok tuk ih ese lam ih thoonsiit kohe.
7 During this time that I have been a prisoner [MTY] and during the times I was previously able to defend the good message about Christ and proved/confirmed [to others] that it is true, all of you have been sharing with me (OR, have helped me) in this work [that God] kindly gave [to me to do. So] indeed it is right that I feel joyful about you all, because you are very dear [IDM] to me.
Ngah ih sen samthun rumhala ah epunthun et hang tumeah, sen ah saarookwih ngah ten ni tonglan! Rangte ih heh tiit tumbaat suh saapoot kotahang adi sen loong ih roong chosok tahe, amadi ngah phaatak ni tonglang tokdi nyia maangtong tokdi Rangte ruurangese raang ih laattang dowa ih dook ah.
8 God [can] verify that Christ Jesus causes me to [love and] long for all of you very much, [just like] Christ loves [you].
Ngah ih sen loong nga ten nawa ih samthun rumhala rah Jisu Kristo heteewah tenthun thun nawa ih dong thunthuk halang, nga haaki ah Rangte.
9 And what I pray [for you] is that [God will enable] you to truly know and learn how to love [one another] more and more in every situation.
Sen loong chamchi nah ese tenthun nyia sekthun ah, mongnook lam ih ehan han ih hak raangtaan suh nga rangsoom ban jeela,
10 [And I pray that he will enable] you to completely understand [how you should believe and act]. I [pray this] in order that you might be [spiritually] pure and faultless (OR, completely faultless [DOU]) on the day that Christ [returns] [MTY],
eno ba sen ih marah eseethoon ah mi danje an. Erah dowa ih ba sen ah Kristo rangwuung sa doh kaanju muh saksa ang an.
11 [and in order that] you might conduct your lives [IDM] completely righteously as a result of Jesus Christ [enabling you to do so], in order that [people will] honor God and praise him (OR, [people will] praise God very much [DOU]).
Jisu Kristo luulu ih Rangte men raksiit suh jen dongsiit ha amiisak ese dang ajang rah ih sen roidong ah meethuk ah.
12 My fellow believers, I want you to know that the [troubles] I have experienced [have not prevented me from proclaiming the good message to people. Instead], [these things that I have experienced] have enabled even more people to hear the good message [about Christ].
Joon awaan loong, ngah ih sen suh jatthuk suh ramlang ah langla, nga chamnaang tungthoidi ba amiisak Rangte tiit ah ehan han ih jaat jaangjih ih hoon kata.
13 [Specifically], all the military guards who are stationed [here in Rome] and many other [HYP] [people in this city] [HYP] now know that I am a prisoner [MTY] because I [proclaim the good news] about Christ.
Mamah liidi, luungwang nok bante loongtang ih ngah phaatak ni tonglang asuh Kristo laksuh ang kano botongla ih dongjat rumha.
14 Also, most of the believers [here now] proclaim the message from God more courageously and fearlessly [because] they trust the Lord [more firmly to help them. They trust the Lord more] because [they have seen how the Lord has helped me] while I have been a prisoner [MTY] [here].
Erah dam ih hanpiite loong ah ih ngah phaatak ni tongkang no neng tenthun ah Teesu jiinko kamkam ih dong thun rumha, erah dowa ih ba neng ih Rangte tiit ah saapoot rookwih lacho laphaan ih tumbaat rum ah.
15 Some people proclaim [the message about Christ as I do] because they are happy [with my work]. They proclaim [the message about] Christ because they love [me and because] they know that [God] has placed me [here] to defend the message about Christ [CHI].
Elang eah Kristo tiit ah mararah ih bah ethih tenthunte nyia changrook mina loong ih roong baat ha, enoothong mararah mina ih bah amiisak ese tenthun nawa ih baat ha.
Erah loong ah mongnook tenthun lam ih re ah, tumeah, Rangte ih heh ruurangese tiit pangsuh mothuk halang ah neng ih ejat eha.
17 Others proclaim [the message about] Christ because they envy [me] and oppose [me]. They proclaim the message about Christ because they have wrong motives. They [wrongly] assume [that because they are causing many people to follow them, I will be jealous, and as a result], I will feel more miserable while I am a prisoner [MTY] [here].
Rukho loong ih Kristo tiit ah toongtang lam in tabaat rumka, erah nang ih bah nyamnyook tenthun lam ih baat rumha; neng ih ngah phaatak ni tonglang tokdoh ehan ih boot chamnaang thuk suh thun rumha.
18 But it does not matter whether [people proclaim the message about Christ] because they have wrong motives, or whether [people proclaim the message about Christ] because they have right motives. The important thing in either case is that [the message about] Christ is being proclaimed {people are proclaiming [the message about] Christ}. And because of that I rejoice! Philippians 1:18b-26 Furthermore, I will continue to rejoice,
Enoothong erah ih tumjih angjih bah tah angka! Erah nang ih bah Kristo tiit ah ese lam angkoja oh adoleh ethih tenthun lam ih angkoja oh etumbaat et ha asuh thong roonlang. Eno ngah ah toomroon ruh ete anglang,
19 because when I experience troubles, I know that some day God will say that he approves [of what I have done] (OR, that [the Roman authorities] will set me free). [This will happen] as a result of your praying for me, and [as a result] of [God’s] Spirit, whom Jesus Christ gave me, helping me.
tumeah, ngah ih jat ehang Jisu Kristo chiiala lam ih sen rangsoom nawa ih chosok hali thoi ngah ah phaatak nawa edok ete anglang.
20 I [know that this will happen] because I very confidently expect [DOU] that I will faithfully honor Christ. I expect that like I always [have done], Christ will be greatly honored {I will continue now also to very boldly honor Christ} by means of all that I do [SYN, MTY], whether by [the way I] live or [by the way I] die.
Ngah ih nga tenni kamkam ih thun angno laalom lang, nga mootkaat doh babah uh nga rakri dongjih tamokang, etek ejih angkojang oh adoleh ething angkojang oh, nga tenchaan amadi anglang jun ih Kristo men ah ngah puh putang ih raksiit ang.
21 As for me, I live [in order to honor] Christ. But if I die, it will be better [for me than if I continue to live, because then I will be with him].
Erabah roidong ah tumjih ah? Ngah di bah, khothing roidong ah Kristo, etek ah tang ehan eseethoon roidong chojih ah.
22 On the other hand, if I continue to live, that will enable me to continue to serve [Christ] effectively. As a result, I do not know which to choose.
Enoothong amamah khothing ih ban tongsong ruh eh angbah mootkaat ese ah ngah ehanhan ih boot moh ang, ngah ih marah danjeejih ah erah tajatkang.
23 That is, I am not sure which of those two I [prefer]. I long to leave [this world] and [go to] be with Christ, because that will be very much better [for me].
Ngah lamnyi nawa ih pheehoom halang. Ngah roidong ah thiinhaat suh nyia Kristo damdoh tong suh ah rapne ih thunhang, marah eseethoon ang ah;
24 Nevertheless, it is more important that I remain alive [than that I go to be with Christ because] you still need [me to help you].
enoothong ngah ething ih tong ah sen raangtaan suh maaklong doh chap ang.
25 Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain [alive] and that I will [go/come to] be with you all. [As a result], you will believe [in Christ] more firmly, and [as a result of that], you will rejoice.
Erah ngah ih kamkam ih thunhang, ngah ah sen damdoh ething ih roongtong hangno sen tenroon nyia sen tuungmaang boot huk korumha,
26 [That is], you will be able to rejoice very greatly because of Christ Jesus [bringing] me [to be with you again].
eno ba ngah sen damdoh we roongtong hang adoh, sen roidong doh sen ah Jisu Kristo suh ehan han ih boot khuungpook roonsoonjih ang an.
27 Most importantly, as fellow [believers in Christ], conduct yourselves just like [you learned you should do when you heard] the message about Christ. Do that in order that whether I come and see you, or whether [I am away from you and] people tell me about you, [what I hear or see will make me happy]. They will tell me that you are unitedly and cooperatively resisting [those who oppose the message about Christ] (OR, [oppose you]). I [will know] that you are not allowing others to influence you to believe a message that is different from the gospel [about Christ].
Amadi, sen suh elongthoon reejih ah langla sen ruurangese ah Kristo tiit jun ih tongsong andoh se ah, eno ba ngah ih sen ah Rangte tiit suh rongrong ih tuungmaang laalom rum ano tongsong rumla ih japchaat ang, sen reenah ngah raahang no nga mik ih sok ra rumha bah uh adoleh lajen raarang bah uh ah, sen ah chiiala esiit nawa ih rongchap thuk halan ih jat ang.
28 And I [will know] that you are not at all frightened by {afraid of} the people who oppose you. This will show/prove to those people that [God] will destroy them, but this will show/prove to you that [God] will save you eternally. It is God who is doing [all] this.
Senpi senra loong suh lacho theng; saarookwih tarong ih bantong an, eno ba senpi senra loong ah ih dongjat ah neng ah rangne eno sen ah rangkap eah, tumeah sen suh Rangte ih rangkap angjih ah kotahan.
29 Remember that he has not only kindly enabled you to believe in Christ, [he] has also kindly allowed you to suffer for the sake of Christ.
Erah thoih sen suh Kristo mootkaat ah moh suh saapoot ah kohalan, heh suh hanpi laklak lah angthang ih, heh raangtaan ih chamnaang nep ih suh.
30 [As a result], you are [having to] resist [those who oppose the good message], just like you saw that I [had to] resist [such people there in Philippi], and just like you hear that I [still have to resist such people here] now.
Amadoh sen ngah damdoh raamui thengnah jen roong rung ehan. Erah raamui ah sen ih ehak di katup tahe raamui ah muilang, eno amadi chaat han rah uh erah raamui ah thok muilang.
