¹Huaijiakin Krisa thu kihilh ding a oma, itnaa kinep theihna ding a oma, kha toh kituahna bang a oma, kilainatna leh kihehpihna bang a om leh,

¹If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

²Ka kipahna honhihkim sak un, huchibang lungsim mah pu unla, hichibang itna mah nei unla, tup kibang leh lungsim khat neia omin.

²Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

³Kikhenna ding hiam, ahihkeileh kithupisakna jiakin hiam, bangmah hih kei un; lungsim niam lakin, mi chihin amah sangin midang hoihsa jaw hen.

³Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

⁴Na lak ua kuapeuhin amaha kia en louin, midanga leng en sam hen.

⁴Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

⁵Kris Jesu a leng om, hiai lungsim tuh nei le uchin;

⁵Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁶Amah tuh Pathian banga om hinapiin, Pathian toh kikima om tuh thil khiaklah dingin a sep keia,

⁶Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

⁷Himahleh amah tuh a hongkihih awngthawla, sikha bangin a hongoma, mihing banga bawlin a hongoma;

⁷But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

⁸Huchiin mihing mel a honpua, hongkihihneuin, si ding hial in leng thu bang a honmanga, ahi, Krosa sihna nangawn.

⁸And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

⁹Huchi a hih jiakin Pathianin leng amah tuh nakpi takin a hihliantaa, amah tuh min laklaka min tungnung a peta hi;

⁹Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

¹⁰Jesu mina mi tengtenga khukdina, vantung, leitung leh lei nuaia thil om tengteng,

¹⁰That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

¹¹Leh lei tengtengin Jesu Kris tuh Pa Pathian thupina dinga Toupa ahi chih theihna ding un.

¹¹And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹²Ka itte aw, hichi a hih ngalin, ka om lai kia hi loua, ka om louh lai banga leng, thu na man theihtak mahmah bang un, lau leh ling kawmin na hotdamna chiat uh sem khia un;

¹²Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

¹³Amah lungtuak dia, noumaua honut sak leh honsemsak dia hihpa tuh Pathian ahi ngala.

¹³For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

¹⁴Dawngdawng lou leh phunphun louin thil bangkim hih un:

¹⁴Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

¹⁵Khangthak gilou leh khial, a lak ua khovela vakte banga na tennate lak ua, Pathian ta gensiatbei leh siangthou,

¹⁵That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

¹⁶Hinna thu tuh tak lang na hih theihna ding un; huaia kipana ken Kris ni a hongtun chianga, A thawnin ka semgim keia, a thawnin ka tai gim kei, ka chih ngamna dingin.

¹⁶Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

¹⁷A hi, na ginna thilaat tungua Pathian adia buakkhiaka om ding nahi tamah lengzong, ka dah kei, huan na vek un kon kipahpih hi:

¹⁷Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

¹⁸Huai mahbangin, nou leng kipak unla; kei leng honkipah pih un.

¹⁸For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.

¹⁹Abang abang hileh, na omdan uh ka theiha lungmuanga ka om theihna dingin Timothi na kiang ua honsawl pah Toupa Jesu ah ka kilamen hi.

¹⁹But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

²⁰Hichibang lungsim pua, na hoihna ding uh awlmoh kuamah dang ka nei ngal keia.

²⁰For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.

²¹Jesu Kris thilte zong louin, a vek un amau tuam chiat a zong ngal ua.

²¹For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.

²²Himahleh amah tuh tain a pa na a sep bangin tanchin hoih genjakna ah kei a honseppih chih theihchetna amah ah na nei uhi.

²²But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.

²³Huaijiakin bangchibangin ka omdia chih ka hontheihchet peuhpeuh chiangin amah tuh honsawl khiak pah ka kilamen hi;

²³Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

²⁴Himahleh keimah ngei leng ka hong zok ding chih Toupa ah ka kilamen hi.

²⁴But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

²⁵Himahleh ka sanggam leh seppih leh sepaih pih leh na taksapna ua gamtang leh sawltak Epafrodita na kiang ua honsawl kiphamoh ka saa;

²⁵Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

²⁶Na vek un a honngai mahmah ngala, a dam louh thu na jak un, a lungkham mahmah hi.

²⁶For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

²⁷Si dektakin a china ngeia; himahleh Pathian in a tungah hehpihna a neia; amah tung kia leng hi louin kei tungah leng ahi sama, huchia lungkhamna ka neih sawnsawn luohna dingin.

²⁷For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

²⁸Huaijiakin amah tuh ka honsawl teiteia, amah na muh chiang un na kipah ua, huchia kei leng ka dah luat louhna dingin.

²⁸I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

²⁹Huaijiakin kipaktakin Toupa ah amah na nakipahpih unla; amah na nangaisang un;Kris nasepna ah amah tuh a hongsi deka, kei dinga na hihkim louhte uh honhih sak a tupna lamah aman tuh a hinna leng a khuai dektak ngala.

²⁹Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:

³⁰Kris nasepna ah amah tuh a hongsi deka, kei dinga na hihkim louhte uh honhih sak a tupna lamah aman tuh a hinna leng a khuai dektak ngala.

³⁰Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
