¹Paula leh Timothi, Kris Jesu sikhaten, Philippi khuaa om misiangthou tengteng kiangah heutute leh nasemte toh:

¹Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers or, superintendents, or bishops and servants Or, deacons :

²Hehpihna leh lemna i Pa Pathian leh Toupa Jesu Kris akipan nou ah om hen.

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

³Ka Pathian tungah kipahthu ka gen, nou kon theihgigena ah.

³I thank my God whenever I remember you,

⁴Na vek ua dinga, kipak taka thuma kon nget saksakna tengah,

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

⁵Ni masapen apat tutan phaa tanchin hoih dalhna dia na kikhopna jiak ua kipakin.

⁵for your partnership The word translated “partnership” (koinonia) also means “fellowship” and “sharing.” in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;

⁶Hiai thil mahmah gingta ing, amah noua nasep hoih panpan tuh Jesu ni tan phain a zoukim vek ding.

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

⁷Na vek ua tungtang thua, ken hichibang lungsim ka neih tuh dik leng a dik him ahi, ka lungtanga kon neih jiakin; ka kolbutna leh tanchin hoih gupna leh hihkipna thua, hehpihna ka tanpihte na hi vek ngalua.

⁷It 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 defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.

⁸Kris Jesu hehpihna nou ngiingei ah nou tuh kon ngai mahmah chih Pathianin a hontheihpih hi.

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

⁹Hiai ka thumna ahi: theihna leh theihkakna toh kithuaha na itna uh a khan sem sem;

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

¹⁰Huchia thil hoih phapente na deih ua, Kris ni-a siangthou leh dembei,

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

¹¹Pathian thupina leh pahtawina dinga, Jesu Kris jiaka hongom dikna gahte-a dima na om theihna ding un.

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

¹²Unaute aw, tuin ka tunga thil hongtungte, Tanchin hoih a khanna dia hongtung uh ahi chih na theih uh ka deih hi;

¹²Now I desire to have you know, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;

¹³Huchiin inpi vengpawl tengteng leh adang tengteng kiangah Krisa ka kolbuhna tuh a kichianta hi;

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

¹⁴Ka kolbuhna akipana Toupa muanna neiin unaute laka tampite tuh lau loua Pathian thu gen dingin nakpitakin a hong hangsan deuhdeuhta uhi.

¹⁴and 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.

¹⁵Khenkhatten tuh hazatna jiak leh thangpaihna jiakin Kris tuh a tangkou pih ua; huan khenkhatten lah hoih a sak jiak in a gen ua:

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

¹⁶Pawl khatten tuh itna jiakin, tanchin hoih dikdan gen dia om ka hihdan theiin, a gen ua;

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

¹⁷Himahleh pawl dangin tuh kikhenna dingin Kris a tangkou pih ua, a taktak louin, ka kolbuhnaa ka thuakna behlap tumin.

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

¹⁸Bang a poia? Kong bangkima Kris a kigenkhiak phot leh, a khemkhem hiin a taktak hi lehzong huai ah ka kipak ahi.

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

¹⁹Ahi, ka kipak jel ding. Hiai ka thei ngala: Na thumna te u leh Jesu Kris Kha panpihna jiakin hiai tuh ka suahtakna hongsuak dinga,

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

²⁰Ka gingtak taktakna leh ka lametna bangin bangmah ah hihzumin ka om kei hial dia, himahleh ahi gigesa mahbangin tuin leng Kris tuh ka hinna hiam ka sihna hiamin ka pumpi ah hangsanna kim toh hihletin a om ngeingei ding.

²⁰according 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.

²¹Keia din jaw hin Kris ahi a, huan sih leng punna ahi.

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

²²Himahleh saa hin ka tan ding hita leh, huai tuh kei din sepgim gah tampi suahna hi ding ahi. Ahihhnagin ka tel ding ka theikei hi.

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

²³Nih kaltehin hamhaihin ka oma. Pai manga Kris kianga om utna lah ka neia; nakpitakin huai a hoih zo ngala.

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

²⁴Himahleh nou jiakin saa omphot tuh a kiphamoh jaw hi.

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

²⁵Huchiin hiai ginna ka neih jiakin, ka omphot ding chih ka thei hi; ahi, ginnaa na khanletna ding uh leh na kipahna ding un, na vek ua lakah ka omphot ding hi;

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

²⁶Huchia na kiang ua kong pai nawn ding jiaka Kris Jesu na suanna ding uh tam semsem keia na neihna dingun.

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

²⁷Na omdan uh Kris tanchin hoih toh kituak sak photphot un; honga, nou hongmua, ahihkeileh ka om louha leng kha khata na din kipdan uh leh lungsim khat neia tanchin hoih thuginnaa na pan dan uh, na tanchin uh ka jak theihna dingin.

²⁷Only 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;

²⁸Huan, bangmahah na melmate uh hihlauin om kei un. Huai tuh amaua dingin manna ding kichetna teltak ahia, himahleh noua dingin hotdamna ding kichetna ahi, huan huai tuh Pathian akipan ahi.

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

²⁹Hiai tuh noua dia phal ahita: kris jiaka, amah gingta kia hilou-a, amah vanga na thuak sam ding uh;Keimaha na muh uleh na jak uh huai kidouna mah na dou ding uh ahi.

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

³⁰Keimaha na muh uleh na jak uh huai kidouna mah na dou ding uh ahi.

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