Philippians 1

1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:

Jesus Christ i sal te, Paul le Timothy in, Philippi a om Christ Jesus sung ah mithiangtho te, husya te le pawlpi upa te:

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I Pa Pathian le Topa Jesus Christ tung pan thuthiamna le thinnopna sia note tung ah hong om tahen.

3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,

Note kong phaw sim in ka Pathian ka pok hi,

4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,

Note theampo atu thu ka nget sim in tatsat ngawl lungdamko na taw ka ngen hi,

5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;

Lungdamna thupha sung ah na ki pawlkhop na uh hu in a ni phitbel ni pan tu ni dong;

6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Hi thu sung mama ah ki muanna ka nei hi, note sung ah nasep pha a pan pa in Jesus Christ ni dong seam suak tu hi:

7 It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.

Note theampo i thu ka ngaisut tawntung sia thuman a hihi, banghangziam cile ka thinsung ah na om uhhi; thong ka tak ciang ahizong, lungdamna thupha ka dinpui a, ka kipsak ciang ahizong, note theampo in ka thuthiamna taw nong dinpui uh hi.

8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

Jesus Christ i itna sung ah na vekpi uh in bangza in hong phawk khi ziam, ci sia Pathian ka tetti a hihi.

9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

Taciang na ki itna uh sia heakna le thukhenna theampo sung ah tam seseam a khan natu ahizong;

10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offence to the day of Christ,

Tabang in note Christ ni dong thintak le khialna om ngawl in, a phabel nate honglak thei tu in ahizong;

11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Jesus Christ tungtawn in thutang suana i nga te taw kidim a, Pathian minthanna le pokna na hi thei natu uh in, thu ka ngen hi.

12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,

Ahihang suapui te awng, ka tung ah hong theng thu te sia lungdamna thupha ki zel na hong suak hi;

13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,

Tua ahikom tua Christ i sung ah ka thongtakna sia kumpi innsung theampo le mun tatuam ah kilang hi;

14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

Taciang Topa sung ah suapui tampi te sia thong ka tak hu in, ki muang saseam a, launa om ngawl in Pathian thu sia hangsan seseam in son uh hi.

15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

Pawlkhat te in Christ thu sia hazatna le enna taw in hil uh hi; taciang pawlkhat te in deisakna pha taw son uh hi:

16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;

Pawlkhat te in Christ thu sia ki enna taw hil uh a, thintak taw a hil bua uh hi, keima thongtakna sia haksatna ki belap tu in ngaisun uh hi:

17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defence of the Good News.

Ahihang a dang pawlkhat te in keima sia lungdamna thupha a panpui tu in hong ki koi ka hi siahe a, itna taw phuang uh hi.

18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

Tabang ahile bang hi tu ziam? Ahi tazong, a son theam uh ahizong, a hibale, thuman taw ahizong, bangbang po ahizong Christ thuhil ahi na uh le ka lungdam hi, taciang maisang zong ka lungdam suak tu hi.

19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

Banghangziam cile na thu ngetna uh le Jesus Christ i Thaa panpui na tungtawn in hi thu sia ka suatakna hong suak tu hi, ci ka he hi,

20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

Ka thinsung takpi taw muang in ka lamet bangma in, bang thu po ahizong ka mai a zum bua hi, ahihang hangsanna theampo taw tatsat ngawl in ka pumpi sung ah nuntakna tungtawn in, a hibale thina tungtawn in, Christ sia lapsang hi tu hi,

21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Banghangziam cile keima atu in nuntak na sia Christ a hihi, taciang thina zong phattuamna om hi.

22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.

Ahizong ka pumpi sung ah ka nungta ahile, hisia in ka nasep i nga a hihi: ahihang bang teal zaw tu ci sia ka he bua hi.

23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

Banghangziam cile thu ni ki laklaw a ciak na mun ah ka om hi, pusuak a, Christ taw omkhop tu ka uk hi; tasia thu phazaw pek hi:

24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

Ahihang pumpi sung ah om tu sia note atu in kisam zaw hi.

25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,

Taciang hi ki muanna ka nei hu in, na upna uh i lungdamna a tam seseam thei natu in, pumpi sung ah om tu sia note theampo taw kizom in ka om tu hi, ci ka he hi;

26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

Tabang in note kung ah kong paikik na tungtawn in Jesus Christ sung ah keima atu in na lungdamna uh sia dimlet seseam tu hi.

27 Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

Na nuntak zia uh sia Christ i lungdamna thupha bek taw hi tahen: tabang in keima hongpai in note te kong mu a, a hibale keima ka om ngawl sung ah, note sia thaa khat sung ah kiptak in ma na pang khawm uh a, lungdamna thupha upna atu in thinsung khat taw na hanciam tek na uh thu ka zak thei natu in;

28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

Taciang na ngal te uh hang in bangma lau heak vun: tabang te sia amate atu in siatsuana kilangsak te a hihi, ahihang note atu in Pathian i ngupna a hihi.

29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,

Banghangziam cile note kung ah Christ taang in ama up tu bek in hong pia ngawl a, Ama atu in thuak tu zong hong pia hi;

30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.

Keima sung ah na mu uh ki langpan na le tu in na zak uh thu sia, note in zong na nei uh thu a hihi.
