Philipiite 2
1 Sen roidong ah Kristo damdi ang thoih rongtangtang ang thuk halan, nyia heh minchan ih sen ah kooncha halan. Sen Esa Chiiala damdi roomtong lan, nyia sen jiinni minchan nyi tenthet ah esiit esiit suh eje.
Since Christ encourages us, since he loves us and comforts us, since God’s Spirit fellowships with [us, and] since [Christ] is very merciful [DOU] to us,
2 Sen suh ngah ih baat rumhala, sen loong ah tenthun esiit, mongnook esiit, thung atak nyia chiiala lam nah esiit ang anno ngah ah roonthuk he.
make me completely happy [by doing the following things]: Agree with one another, love one another, be closely united with one another, and [live] harmoniously with one another [DOU].
3 Tumjih uh nyamnyook tenthun nawa ih nak re an adoleh lalangka lam ih nak ngaampo an, erah nang ih bah esiit esiit damdoh toongtang lam ih tong an, saarookwih senteewah nang ih wahoh ah ese ih samthun an.
Never try to selfishly make yourselves more important than [others] nor boast [about what you are doing]. Instead, be humble, [and in particular], honor one another more than you honor yourselves.
4 Nyia wahoh ih tumjih thunha erah roong samthun suh thun an sen teeteewah tenthun nah laklak lah angthang ih ah.
Each one of you should not [only] be concerned about your own affairs. Instead, each of you should also be concerned (that you help/about the needs of) one another.
5 Senthung sentak ah Jisu Kristo thung atak angta likhiik angtheng:
You should think/act just like Christ Jesus [thought/acted].
6 Heh di saarookwih Rangte dang ajang ah jeeta, enoothong heh ih mamah ih bah uh Rangte thanthan ih hoon suh tathuntakta.
[Although] he has the same nature as God has, he did not insist on keeping all the privileges of being equal with God.
7 Erah nang ih, heh teeteewah thung nawa ih heh di tumjih jeeta loong ah thiinhaat ano, laksuh angjih dang ajang ah kapta. Heh ah mina likhiik ih dong hoonta nyia mina jih ajaat likhiik ih dong taha.
Instead, he [willingly] gave up divine privileges. [Specifically], he became a human being and took the attitude of a servant. When he had become a human being,
8 Heh ah toongtang angta erah dam ih Rangte jeng chaatchaat lam ih heh roidong ah thoonta— bangphak ni laan tek ruh ah.
he humbled himself [even more. Specifically], he obeyed [God] even to the extent of [being willing to] die. [He was even willing to] be nailed to a cross, [to die as though he were a criminal].
9 Erah thoih Rangte ih heh ah echoong thoon rangkothung ni saatsiit wanta eno heh men ah o men nang ih uh elongthoon et men kota.
As a result, God promoted him [to a] rank [that] is above every [other] rank.
10 Erah tungthoih, Jisu men ah soomtu suh jaatrep rangmong nawa, hatoh nawa, nyia mongrep hakhu nawa loong ah neng lakuh doh tong rum ah,
[God did that] in order that every being [SYN] in heaven and on earth and under the earth should worship [MTY] Jesus,
11 eno loongtang ih saasa lam ih Jisu Kristo ah seng Teesu ih tumbaat rum ah, Rangte hewah men ah raksiit suh ah.
and in order that every person [SYN] should declare that Jesus Christ is Lord. [As a result of everyone doing that, they will] honor God, [his] Father.
12 Erah thoih, nga joonte loong, ngah sen damdi ang tokdi saarookwih sen ah nga jeng chaatchaat kah etan, eno amadi ngah haloot ni anglang tok adoh tang ehan ih nga jeng ah thaangchaat an, erah sen raangtaan suh maaklong doh chap ah. Sen khopiiroidong ah chosuh bah emocho damdoh pakna ruh ih kah an,
My dear friends, as you consider this, since you have always obeyed [God], each of you should very reverentially [DOU] try to do those things [that are proper for people whom God has] saved. [You should do those things] not only when I am with you. [Instead, you should try] even more [to do them] now when I am not with you.
13 tumeah Rangte ih sen loong ah heh mootkaat nah jen reethuk suh nyia heh jeng chaatchaat jen ang thuk suh saarookwih sen roidong ni ban moruh ehala.
[You are able to do these things], since God [himself] causes you to desire to do what he wants you to do, and he also enables you to do what he wants you to do.
14 Jaatrep ah changrook waangti nyia jengdaan muh ih re an,
Do everything [God or your leaders ask you to do]. Never complain about what they want you to do, or argue with them.
15 arah mongrep adi bah ethih reeraang pakna nyia rangdah mina loong meela, eno sen ah erah mina loong damdoh toongtang nyia saachamcham ih tongsong an Rangte suh asah mi jen angsuh ah. Sen loong ah neng dung nah rangkhothung echoong ni reksih phaakla likhiik jaatjaat ih phaak theng,
Behave like that in order that you may be completely faultless [DOU] and may be perfect children of God [DOU] while you live in the midst of people who are wicked and do very wicked things [DOU]. As you live among them, show them clearly [MET] [the way they ought to behave], just like the sun, moon, and stars [show the road clearly to us] [SIM].
16 tumeah sen ih neng suh khothing roidong tiit ah baat han. Sen loong ah emamah ih re anbah Kristo Rangwuung sa doh ngah sen suh rapne ih khuungpook roonsoonjih ang ah, tumeah erah sa doh bah ngah reeraang pakna tang loong ah thaangmuh ni taboh angka ih jat ang.
Tell them how [to] have eternal life. I [ask that you do that] in order that on the day Christ [returns] I may be able to rejoice [MTY], that I did not labor [DOU] so hard among you in vain.
17 Sen tuungmaang nyia sen mootkaat ah Rangte suh khojoop siik hoon arah likhiik. Eno nga sih ah erah khojoop siik hoon adoh jan adoh botseh ngah sen suh tenroon ang ang.
Perhaps [the Roman authorities] will execute me, [and my blood will pour out] [MET] [as the] wine pours out when the priest offers it to God [MET]. [For your part], you believe [in Christ firmly]. As a result, you have given yourselves completely to God in order that you might do what he wills [MET], [just like a priest] offers a sacrifice [completely to God] [MET]. [Because I dedicate myself wholly to God] together with you, even if [they are about to execute me], I will greatly rejoice [DOU], [because I am giving myself wholly to God], and because you all [are giving yourselves wholly to God].
18 Emamah, sen uh tenroon angjih eno nga damdoh tenroon ih roong tongtha han.
Similarly, you too should rejoice [because you are giving yourselves wholly to God], and you should rejoice because I [am giving myself wholly to God].
19 Teesu thungpun abah, ngah ih sen jiinnah Timothi ah elaang ih daapkaat suh ejen thun et ang, eno ba sen ruurang ah chaat angno nga tenthun ah rongkopkop ang ah.
My relationship with the Lord Jesus [leads me] to confidently expect that [he will enable me] to send Timothy to you soon, in order that [his telling you the news about me will encourage you. But] I also expect that [his returning to me and] telling me the news about you will encourage me.
20 Nga tenthun jun ih roong samthunte nyia sen loong amiimi ih koonchaate warah heh luulu ju angkah.
[Keep in mind that] I have no one [else] like him who genuinely cares for you.
21 Mirep ih Jisu ah lasamthun thang ih, neng di marah seela erah ba samthun rumha.
All the others [whom I have considered that I might send to you] are concerned [only] about their own matters. They are not concerned about what Jesus Christ [considers important].
22 Sen ih jat ehan Timothi heteewah ah tumjaat mina ah ih noisok hali rah ah, hewah damdi heh sah roong mola likhiik ih, heh ah nga damdam ruurangese tiit roong tumbaat taha.
But you know that Timothy has proved that he [serves the Lord and others faithfully. You know] that he has served [the Lord closely together] with me in [proclaiming to people] the message about Christ as though he were [SIM] my son and I were his [own] father.
23 Erah thoih, ngah tumjih angte erah jat ang no ba Timothi ah sen jiinnah elaang ih daapkaat suh ban samthun hang.
So then he is the one I confidently expect to send [to you] as soon as I know what will happen to me.
24 Erah dam ih ngah ih Teesu suh kamkam ih samthun hang, nga teewah ah elaang ih sen jiinnah ejen chomoi ih raahang.
And I am confident that I will soon be released {[the authorities will soon release me]} [so that] the Lord will enable me also to come/go [to you] soon.
25 Ngah ih thun etang Epaphroditus, nga damdi Rangte tiit roong tumbaatte wah, toongtang sipaahi tiitbaatte pangte nyia sen ih ngah chosok suh sen kaamwah ih daapjah tahan ah sen jiinnah ngaak daapjih jaatjaat eah.
I have concluded that it is [really] necessary that I send Epaphroditus [back] to you. He is a fellow believer and my fellow worker, and he [endures difficulties together with me] [MET], [just like] soldiers [endure difficulties together]. You sent him [to me] in order that he might help me when I was needy [EUP].
26 Heh ih sen chosok suh rapne ih mongsaam la nyia thungjoongla, tumeah sen ih heh ah esat ela ih japchaat etan.
[But I have concluded that I must send him back to you] because he has been longing to see you all. Furthermore, he has been [very] distressed because [he knows that] you heard that he had become sick.
27 Elang eah heh ah rapne ih satta, etek nep taat eta, enoothong Rangte ih tenthet ano ngaak deesiitta, heh laklak lah angthang ih ngah nep tenthet tahang, sootsaam khodoh sootsaam phoboot ang ah eah.
Indeed, he was so sick that he almost died. However, [he did not die]. Instead, God pitied him and he also pitied me, [and as a result he healed him. God pitied me] because he did not want me to be even more sorrowful than I already was.
28 Erah thoih sen jiinnah daapkaat suh ngah ih ehan ih samthun hang, eno ba sen ih heh ah japtup ano ehan ih roon an, eno nga sootsaam anep mat eah.
So, I am sending him [back to you] as quickly as possible, in order that you may rejoice [when you see him again] and in order that I may be less sorrowful [than I was].
29 Eno bah, sen ih heh ah tenroon lam ih Teesu mendoh sen phono likhiik ih ban noppoon an. Eno heh soongraang han likhiik mih uh emamah ih soongraang an,
Welcome him very joyfully [just like believers] in [our] Lord [Jesus should welcome one another. While he was] working for Christ, he was helping me in place of you [because you were far away]. He knew that he might die as a result of helping me, and [truly] he nearly did die. So honor [him, and honor all] those who are like him.
30 tumeah heh ih heh roidong ah Kristo tiit thoi etek nep taat ih arah ih kota, ngah chosok suh nep marah sen ih botseh lajen chosok tahe rah suh ah.
