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 is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

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

²make my joy full, by being like-minded, 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.

³doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

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

⁴each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

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

⁵Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

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

⁶who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

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

⁷but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being 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 human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, 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;

⁹Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the 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 those in heaven, those on earth, and those 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;

¹²So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, 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 who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

¹⁴Dawngdawng lou leh phunphun louin thil bangkim hih un:

¹⁴Do all things without murmurings and disputes,

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

¹⁵that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen 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 up the word of life; that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn’t run in vain nor labor 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:

¹⁷Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.

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

¹⁸In the same way, you also rejoice, 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 hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.

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

²⁰For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

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

²¹For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

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 you know the proof of him, that, as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

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

²³Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I 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 myself also will 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;

²⁵But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need;

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

²⁶since he longed for you all, and was very troubled, because you had heard that he was 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, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.

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

²⁸I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when you see him again, you 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 joy, and hold such in honor,

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 came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
