¹Unaute aw, na lak ua, ka lutna uh ana thawnta kei chih noumau mahin na thei ngal ua;

¹For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn’t in vain,

²A thawn hih naksangin, huai malamin, na theihsa bangun, Philippi khua ah gimthuak leh zumhuai taka bawla ka om nungun, dalna thupitak lakah leng Pathian tanchin hoih na kiang ua gen dingin ka Pathian uah hangsanna ka nei jaw uhi.

²but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.

³Ka thugen uh juaua pawt ahi ngal keia, sianlouhnaa suak leng ahi keia, zekhemnain leng ahi sam keia;

³For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.

⁴Tanchin hoih kepsaka om dinga Pathian hoihsak mi ka hih bang ngei un, mihing hihkipak ding bang hiloua ka lungtang uh zeetpa Pathian hih kipak jawin, thu ka gen jel uh ahi jaw hi.

⁴But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

⁵Chiklai peuh inleng kimaitang phatna thu hiam, huaiham khuhmangna ding thu hiam ka zong ngei kei uh chih na thei uh; Pathian hontheihpihpa ahi.

⁵For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),

⁶Kris sawltak ka hih jiakun mi adingin chimtakhuaipi hi thei mah le ung, mihing lakah-nou lakah leh midangte lakah leng, pahtawina ka zong ngei sam kei uhi.

⁶nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.

⁷Nu naupom, amah tate hawmthoh taka kem bangin, na lakuah nunnem takin ka om jaw uhi.

⁷But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

⁸Huchiin, ittaka nou kon lunggulh tuntun jiakun, Pathian tanchin hoih kia hilou-in, koumau hinna leng honpiak hial ka ut mahmah uhi.

⁸Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.

⁹Unaute aw, ka sep tawl dan u leh ka sepgim dan uh na theigige uhi; na lak uah kuamah ka suktuailuai louhna ding un, sun leh jana nasemin, Pathian tanchinhoih nou ka honhilh uhi.

⁹For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.

¹⁰Nou gingtate tunga siangthou tak leh diktak leh dembeia ka omdan uh a hontheihpihte na hi uhi, huan, Pathian leng.

¹⁰You are witnesses with God, how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.

¹¹Na theih mah bangun, Pain amah tate tunga ahih banga hasuan leh khamuanin nou kontheisak uh,

¹¹As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,

¹²Amah gam leh thupinaa nou honsamlutpa Pathian mi hi dia kilawmhima na hin theihna dingun.

¹²to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.

¹³Hiai jiakin tawp louin Pathian kiangah kipahthu ka gengen uhi, Pathian thu koumau akipana na muh uh, na san lai un leng, mihing thu sang bangin na sang kei ua; Pathian thu ahihna bangtaka na san jawk jiak un; huai tuh Pthiana ahi hima, gingta mi noumau sunga sem jel mah ahi.

¹³For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

¹⁴Nou, unaute aw, Juda gama Pathian saptuam pawl Kris Jesua omte juite na nahi ua, amau tuh Judate laka thuak bang un, nou leng noumau gam mite lakah na thuak sam ngal ua.

¹⁴For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews;

¹⁵Huai Judaten tuh Toupa Jesu leh jawlneite leng a that ua, kou leng a hondelh khia ua, Pathian a sulungkim kei ua, mi tengteng a kalh nak uhi;

¹⁵who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and didn’t please God, and are contrary to all men;

¹⁶Hotdam a hih theihna ding ua Jentelte kiang a thugen a honkham ua, a khelhna uh hih dim gige dingin; himahleh, thangpaihna tuh a khawk theihtawpin a tunguah a hontungta hi.

¹⁶forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.

¹⁷Ahihhangin, unaute aw, sawtlou kala dia noumau toh lungtang lama kikhen loua, pumpi lam kiaa kikhena i om takdih jiakin, kilawp taka na mel uh mu dingin ka pang sansan uhi.

¹⁷But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,

¹⁸Na kiang ua hongpai ka tum chiltel ngal ua. Kei Paula ngei inleng nihvei tak hongpai ka natuma, himahleh Setanin a hondal nak ahi.

¹⁸because we wanted to come to you—indeed, I, Paul, once and again—but Satan hindered us.

¹⁹Ka lametna u hiam, ka kipahna u hiam, ka lallukhu suan u hiam bang ahia leh? A hongpai chiangin i Toupa Jesu maah noumau mah na hi kei ding ua hia?Nou khawngmah ka suan uh leh ka kipahna uh na hi uhi.

¹⁹For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn’t it even you, before our Lord Jesus TR adds “Christ” at his coming?

²⁰Nou khawngmah ka suan uh leh ka kipahna uh na hi uhi.

²⁰For you are our glory and our joy.
