Philipiite 1

1 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:

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

2 Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia seng Teesu Jisu Kristo ih sen suh semroongroong nyia heh tenthet ah toom kohan.

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

3 Ngah ih nga Rangte suh sen dokthun saapoot rookwih di lakookmi kali ang;

I give thanks to my God every time I remember you,

4 nyia saapoot rookwih ngah ih sen raang ih rangsoom angdi, tenroon lam ih kah soom ang

always praying with joy in every one of my prayers for you all

5 tumeah ruurangese tiit phang tumbaat tang tok dowa ih amah tuk ih sen ih chosok hali.

because of your partnership with me in the gospel from the first day until now.

6 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.

I am confident that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

7 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.

It is right for me to think this way about you all, since I have you in my heart. For you all share with me in God's grace, both in my imprisonment and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel.

8 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.

For God is my witness that I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.

9 Sen loong chamchi nah ese tenthun nyia sekthun ah, mongnook lam ih ehan han ih hak raangtaan suh nga rangsoom ban jeela,

And I pray that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

10 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.

so that you may approve what is excellent in order to be pure and blameless in the day of Christ,

11 Jisu Kristo luulu ih Rangte men raksiit suh jen dongsiit ha amiisak ese dang ajang rah ih sen roidong ah meethuk ah.

filled with the fruits of righteousness that come through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

12 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.

Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has actually helped advance the gospel,

13 Mamah liidi, luungwang nok bante loongtang ih ngah phaatak ni tonglang asuh Kristo laksuh ang kano botongla ih dongjat rumha.

so that it has become known among the entire imperial guard and to everyone else that my imprisonment is for Christ.

14 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.

And the greater part of the brothers in the Lord have gained confidence through my imprisonment and are far more bold to speak the word without fear.

15 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.

Some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others do it out of good will.

16 Erah loong ah mongnook tenthun lam ih re ah, tumeah, Rangte ih heh ruurangese tiit pangsuh mothuk halang ah neng ih ejat eha.

The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but intending to add affliction to me in my imprisonment.

17 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.

The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.

18 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,

But what does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice.

19 tumeah, ngah ih jat ehang Jisu Kristo chiiala lam ih sen rangsoom nawa ih chosok hali thoi ngah ah phaatak nawa edok ete anglang.

For I know that this will result in my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

20 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.

My eager expectation and hope is that I will not be put to shame in anything, but will speak with complete boldness so that now, as always, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether I live or die.

21 Erabah roidong ah tumjih ah? Ngah di bah, khothing roidong ah Kristo, etek ah tang ehan eseethoon roidong chojih ah.

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

22 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.

But if I am to live in the flesh, it will mean fruit from my labor. Yet I do not know which I prefer.

23 Ngah lamnyi nawa ih pheehoom halang. Ngah roidong ah thiinhaat suh nyia Kristo damdoh tong suh ah rapne ih thunhang, marah eseethoon ang ah;

I am hard pressed between the two. I long to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

24 enoothong ngah ething ih tong ah sen raangtaan suh maaklong doh chap ang.

But to remain in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.

25 Erah ngah ih kamkam ih thunhang, ngah ah sen damdoh ething ih roongtong hangno sen tenroon nyia sen tuungmaang boot huk korumha,

Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for the sake of your progress and joy in the faith,

26 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.

so that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus because of me when I come to you again.

27 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.

Only live as citizens in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel,

28 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.

and not being intimidated in any way by those who oppose you. For them this is an indication of destruction, but for you it is an indication of salvation, and that from God.

29 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.

For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,

30 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.

since you are experiencing the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.
