Philippians 4
1 Therefore, my brethren, dearly loved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my dearly-loved ones.
Te dongah, kai kah omngaihnah rhuisam, ka manuca te ka thintloh tih kan ngaidam. Te vanbangla thintlo rhoek aw Boeipa dongah pai uh.
2 I entreat Euodia, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of one mind, as sisters in Christ.
Evodia te ka hloep tih Boeipa ah amah la poek ham Suntuki khaw ka hloep.
3 Yes, and I beg you also, my faithful yoke-fellow, to help these women who have shared my toil in connection with the Good News, together with Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are recorded in the Book of Life.
Ue namah khaw kan dawt. Hmantang ah yingyawn lamtah amih te talong pai. Amih loh olthangthen dongah kai taengah m'puei uh coeng. Kalemen neh a tloe rhoek te khaw kamah kah bibipuei rhoek pai ni. Amih kah ming tah hingnah cabu dongah om coeng.
4 Always be glad in the Lord: I will repeat it, be glad.
Boeipa ah omngaih uh taitu lah. Koep ka thui eh omngaih uh lah.
5 Let your forbearing spirit be known to every one--the Lord is near.
Nangmih kah kodo te hlang boeih taengah ming sak. Boeipa tah yoei coeng.
6 Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by prayer and earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your request be unreservedly made known in the presence of God.
Mawn uh boeh, tedae a cungkuem dongah thangthuinah neh rhenbihnah khaw uemonah neh na bihhoenah te Pathen taengah phoe saeh.
7 And then the peace of God, which transcends all our powers of thought, will be a garrison to guard your hearts and minds in union with Christ Jesus.
Te vaengah lungbuei boeih lakah aka tanglue Pathen kah ngaimongnah loh nangmih kah thinko neh nangmih kah poeknah te Khrih Jesuh dongah a khoembael bitni.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever wins respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovable, whatever is of good repute--if there is any virtue or anything deemed worthy of praise--cherish the thought of these things.
A tloihsoi la manuca rhoek aw, a thuem aka om boeih, a hin aka om boeih, aka dueng boeih, aka cuem boeih, lungloeinah koi boeih, thang aka then boeih, khoboethen neh koehnah ham a mai atah he he poek uh.
9 The doctrines and the line of conduct which I taught you--both what you heard and what you saw in me-- hold fast to them; and God who gives peace will be with you.
Te te kai taengah na cang uh tih na dang uh coeng, na yaak uh tih na hmuh uh coeng. Te te saii uh lamtah ngaimongnah Pathen loh nangmih taengah ha om bitni.
10 But I rejoice with a deep and holy joy that now at length you have revived your thoughtfulness for my welfare. Indeed you have always been thoughtful for me, although opportunity failed you.
Te dongah hnukbuet kah ka poek te nan cuen sak coeng dongah Boeipa ah ka omngaih tangkik. Amah te na ngaihlih uh ngawn dae na hloo uh.
11 I do not refer to this through fear of privation, for (for my part) I have learned, whatever be my outward experiences, to be content.
Ka vawtthoek bangla te khaw ka thui moenih. Kai tah mebang ka tong vaengah khaw ngaikhuek la om ham ka cang coeng.
12 I know both how to live in humble circumstances and how to live amid abundance. I am fully initiated into all the mysteries both of fulness and of hunger, of abundance and of want.
Tlarhoel ham khaw ka ming. Khuehtawn ham khaw ka ming. Cungkuem neh cungkuem dongah bunghah ham neh bungpong ham khaw, khuehtawn ham neh vawtthoek ham khaw ka thuep coeng.
13 I have strength for anything through Him who gives me power.
Kai aka thaphoh kung rhangneh a cungkuem khaw ka thai coeng.
14 Yet I thank you for taking your share in my troubles.
Tedae kai kah phacip phabaem dongah na thum uh te a thuem ni na saii uh.
15 And you men and women of Philippi also know that at the first preaching of the Good News, when I had left Macedonia, no other Church except yourselves held communication with me about giving and receiving;
Te phoeiah Philipi rhoek aw, nangmih long khaw olthangthen a tongcuek vaengkah te ming uh. Makedonia lamloh ka caeh vaengah nangmih bueng kah doenah pawt koinih doedannah dongah ol nen pataeng hlangboel loh kai m'boek moenih.
16 because even in Thessalonica you sent several times to minister to my needs.
Thessalonika ah pataeng ka ngoengaih dongah vai khaw hnavoei khaw nan pat uh.
17 Not that I crave for gifts from you, but I do want to see abundant fruit bring you honour.
Tete kutdoe ka toem moenih. Tedae nangmih kah olka dongah a thaih te pungtai sak ham ka toem.
18 I have enough of everything--and more than enough. My wants are fully satisfied now that I have received from the hands of Epaphroditus the generous gifts which you sent me--they are a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, truly pleasing to God.
Tedae a cungkuem te ka dang tih coih. Nangmih lamkah te Epapharoditu taeng lamloh ka dang tih ka rhoeh pataeng. Te te Pathen taengah botui kah a bova, uemo koi neh a doe koi hmueih la om.
19 But my God--so great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus--will fully supply every need of yours.
Tedae ka Pathen loh Khrih Jesuh dongkah thangpomnah neh amah kah khuehtawn tarhing ah na ngoe boeih te han cung sak bitni.
Te dongah a Pa Pathen te kumhal duela thangpomnah om saeh. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 My Christian greetings to every one of God's people. The brethren who are with me send their greetings.
Jesuh Khrih ah hlangcim boeih te toidal uh. Ka taengkah manuca rhoek loh nangmih te kut n'tuuk uh.
22 All God's people here greet you--especially the members of Caesar's household.
Nangmih hlangcim rhoek boeih neh olpuei la Kaisar im kah rhoek loh kut kan tuuk uh.
23 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.
Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah tah nangmih kah Mueihla neh om saeh.
