فِيلِبِّي 1

١ 1 بُولُسُ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ عَبْدَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، ٱلَّذِينَ فِي فِيلِبِّي، مَعَ أَسَاقِفَةٍ وَشَمَامِسَةٍ:

Paul and Timotheus, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with [the] overseers and ministers;

٢ 2 نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

grace to you, and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

٣ 3 أَشْكُرُ إِلَهِي عِنْدَ كُلِّ ذِكْرِي إِيَّاكُمْ

I thank my God for my whole remembrance of you,

٤ 4 دَائِمًا فِي كُلِّ أَدْعِيَتِي، مُقَدِّمًا ٱلطَّلْبَةَ لِأَجْلِ جَمِيعِكُمْ بِفَرَحٍ،

constantly in my every supplication, making the supplication for you all with joy,

٥ 5 لِسَبَبِ مُشَارَكَتِكُمْ فِي ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ.

because of your fellowship with the gospel, from the first day until now;

٦ 6 وَاثِقًا بِهَذَا عَيْنِهِ أَنَّ ٱلَّذِي ٱبْتَدَأَ فِيكُمْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا يُكَمِّلُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

having confidence of this very thing, that he who has begun in you a good work will complete it unto Jesus Christ's day:

٧ 7 كَمَا يَحِقُّ لِي أَنْ أَفْتَكِرَ هَذَا مِنْ جِهَةِ جَمِيعِكُمْ، لِأَنِّي حَافِظُكُمْ فِي قَلْبِي، فِي وُثُقِي، وَفِي ٱلْمُحَامَاةِ عَنِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ وَتَثْبِيتِهِ، أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ جَمِيعُكُمْ شُرَكَائِي فِي ٱلنِّعْمَةِ.

as it is righteous for me to think this as to you all, because ye have me in your hearts, and that both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad tidings ye are all participators in my grace.

٨ 8 فَإِنَّ ٱللهَ شَاهِدٌ لِي كَيْفَ أَشْتَاقُ إِلَى جَمِيعِكُمْ فِي أَحْشَاءِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

For God is my witness how I long after you all in [the] bowels of Christ Jesus.

٩ 9 وَهَذَا أُصَلِّيهِ: أَنْ تَزْدَادَ مَحَبَّتُكُمْ أَيْضًا أَكْثَرَ فَأَكْثَرَ فِي ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ وَفِي كُلِّ فَهْمٍ،

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all intelligence,

١٠ 10 حَتَّى تُمَيِّزُوا ٱلْأُمُورَ ٱلْمُتَخَالِفَةَ، لِكَيْ تَكُونُوا مُخْلِصِينَ وَبِلَا عَثْرَةٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for Christ's day,

١١ 11 مَمْلُوئِينَ مِنْ ثَمَرِ ٱلْبِرِّ ٱلَّذِي بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، لِمَجْدِ ٱللهِ وَحَمْدِهِ.

being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which [is] by Jesus Christ, to God's glory and praise.

١٢ 12 ثُمَّ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْلَمُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنَّ أُمُورِي قَدْ آلَتْ أَكْثَرَ إِلَى تَقَدُّمِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ،

But I would have you know, brethren, that the circumstances in which I am have turned out rather to the furtherance of the glad tidings,

١٣ 13 حَتَّى إِنَّ وُثُقِي صَارَتْ ظَاهِرَةً فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ فِي كُلِّ دَارِ ٱلْوِلَايَةِ وَفِي بَاقِي ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ أَجْمَعَ.

so that my bonds have become manifest [as being] in Christ in all the praetorium and to all others;

١٤ 14 وَأَكْثَرُ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ، وَهُمْ وَاثِقُونَ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ بِوُثُقِي، يَجْتَرِئُونَ أَكْثَرَ عَلَى ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ بِلَا خَوْفٍ.

and that the most of the brethren, trusting in [the] Lord through my bonds, dare more abundantly to speak the word of God fearlessly.

١٥ 15 أَمَّا قَوْمٌ فَعَنْ حَسَدٍ وَخِصَامٍ يَكْرِزُونَ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَأَمَّا قَوْمٌ فَعَنْ مَسَرَّةٍ.

Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for good will, preach the Christ.

١٦ 16 فَهَؤُلَاءِ عَنْ تَحَزُّبٍ يُنَادُونَ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ لَا عَنْ إِخْلَاصٍ، ظَانِّينَ أَنَّهُمْ يُضِيفُونَ إِلَى وُثُقِي ضِيقًا.

These indeed out of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the glad tidings;

١٧ 17 وَأُولَئِكَ عَنْ مَحَبَّةٍ، عَالِمِينَ أَنِّي مَوْضُوعٌ لِحِمَايَةِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ.

but those out of contention, announce the Christ, not purely, supposing to arouse tribulation for my bonds.

١٨ 18 فَمَاذَا؟ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ وَجْهٍ سَوَاءٌ كَانَ بِعِلَّةٍ أَمْ بِحَقٍّ يُنَادَى بِٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَبِهَذَا أَنَا أَفْرَحُ. بَلْ سَأَفْرَحُ أَيْضًا.

What is it then? at any rate, in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, yea, also I will rejoice;

١٩ 19 لِأَنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا يَؤُولُ لِي إِلَى خَلَاصٍ بِطَلْبَتِكُمْ وَمُؤَازَرَةِ رُوحِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

for I know that this shall turn out for me to salvation, through your supplication and [the] supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;

٢٠ 20 حَسَبَ ٱنْتِظَارِي وَرَجَائِي أَنِّي لَا أُخْزَى فِي شَيْءٍ، بَلْ بِكُلِّ مُجَاهَرَةٍ كَمَا فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، كَذَلِكَ ٱلْآنَ، يَتَعَظَّمُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ فِي جَسَدِي، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ بِحَيَاةٍ أَمْ بِمَوْتٍ.

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but in all boldness, as always, now also Christ shall be magnified in my body whether by life or by death.

٢١ 21 لِأَنَّ لِيَ ٱلْحَيَاةَ هِيَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ وَٱلْمَوْتُ هُوَ رِبْحٌ.

For for me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain;

٢٢ 22 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَتِ ٱلْحَيَاةُ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ هِيَ لِي ثَمَرُ عَمَلِي، فَمَاذَا أَخْتَارُ؟ لَسْتُ أَدْرِي!

but if to live in flesh [is my lot], this is for me worth the while: and what I shall choose I cannot tell.

٢٣ 23 فَإِنِّي مَحْصُورٌ مِنْ ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ: لِيَ ٱشْتِهَاءٌ أَنْ أَنْطَلِقَ وَأَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ذَاكَ أَفْضَلُ جِدًّا.

But I am pressed by both, having the desire for departure and being with Christ, [for] [it is] very much better,

٢٤ 24 وَلَكِنْ أَنْ أَبْقَى فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ أَلْزَمُ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ.

but remaining in the flesh [is] more necessary for your sakes;

٢٥ 25 فَإِذْ أَنَا وَاثِقٌ بِهَذَا أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَمْكُثُ وَأَبْقَى مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ لِأَجْلِ تَقَدُّمِكُمْ وَفَرَحِكُمْ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ،

and having confidence of this, I know that I shall remain and abide along with you all, for your progress and joy in faith;

٢٦ 26 لِكَيْ يَزْدَادَ ٱفْتِخَارُكُمْ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ فِيَّ، بِوَاسِطَةِ حُضُورِي أَيْضًا عِنْدَكُمْ.

that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus through me by my presence again with you.

٢٧ 27 فَقَطْ عِيشُوا كَمَا يَحِقُّ لِإِنْجِيلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، حَتَّى إِذَا جِئْتُ وَرَأَيْتُكُمْ، أَوْ كُنْتُ غَائِبًا أَسْمَعُ أُمُورَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تَثْبُتُونَ فِي رُوحٍ وَاحِدٍ، مُجَاهِدِينَ مَعًا بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لِإِيمَانِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ،

Only conduct yourselves worthily of the glad tidings of the Christ, in order that whether coming and seeing you, or absent, I may hear of what concerns you, that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul, labouring together in the same conflict with the faith of the glad tidings;

٢٨ 28 غَيْرَ مُخَوَّفِينَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَاوِمِينَ، ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ لَهُمْ بَيِّنَةٌ لِلْهَلَاكِ، وَأَمَّا لَكُمْ فَلِلْخَلَاصِ، وَذَلِكَ مِنَ ٱللهِ.

and not frightened in anything by the opposers, which is to them a demonstration of destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;

٢٩ 29 لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ وُهِبَ لَكُمْ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ لَا أَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَيْضًا أَنْ تَتَأَلَّمُوا لِأَجْلِهِ.

because to you has been given, as regards Christ, not only the believing on him but the suffering for him also,

٣٠ 30 إِذْ لَكُمُ ٱلْجِهَادُ عَيْنُهُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فِيَّ، وَٱلْآنَ تَسْمَعُونَ فِيَّ.

having the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear of in me.
