فِيلِبِّي 2

١ 1 فَإِنْ كَانَ وَعْظٌ مَا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ. إِنْ كَانَتْ تَسْلِيَةٌ مَا لِلْمَحَبَّةِ. إِنْ كَانَتْ شَرِكَةٌ مَا فِي ٱلرُّوحِ. إِنْ كَانَتْ أَحْشَاءٌ وَرَأْفَةٌ،

If then there is any comfort in Christ, any help given by love, any uniting of hearts in the Spirit, any loving mercies and pity,

٢ 2 فَتَمِّمُوا فَرَحِي حَتَّى تَفْتَكِرُوا فِكْرًا وَاحِدًا وَلَكُمْ مَحَبَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، مُفْتَكِرِينَ شَيْئًا وَاحِدًا،

Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind;

٣ 3 لَا شَيْئًا بِتَحَزُّبٍ أَوْ بِعُجْبٍ، بَلْ بِتَوَاضُعٍ، حَاسِبِينَ بَعْضُكُمُ ٱلْبَعْضَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;

٤ 4 لَا تَنْظُرُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَا هُوَ لِنَفْسِهِ، بَلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَا هُوَ لِآخَرِينَ أَيْضًا.

Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.

٥ 5 فَلْيَكُنْ فِيكُمْ هَذَا ٱلْفِكْرُ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ أَيْضًا:

Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,

٦ 6 ٱلَّذِي إِذْ كَانَ فِي صُورَةِ ٱللهِ، لَمْ يَحْسِبْ خُلْسَةً أَنْ يَكُونَ مُعَادِلًا لِلهِ.

To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;

٧ 7 لَكِنَّهُ أَخْلَى نَفْسَهُ، آخِذًا صُورَةَ عَبْدٍ، صَائِرًا فِي شِبْهِ ٱلنَّاسِ.

But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;

٨ 8 وَإِذْ وُجِدَ فِي ٱلْهَيْئَةِ كَإِنْسَانٍ، وَضَعَ نَفْسَهُ، وَأَطَاعَ حَتَّى ٱلْمَوْتَ، مَوْتَ ٱلصَّلِيبِ.

And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.

٩ 9 لِذَلِكَ رَفَّعَهُ ٱللهُ أَيْضًا، وَأَعْطَاهُ ٱسْمًا فَوْقَ كُلِّ ٱسْمٍ،

For this reason God has put him in the highest place and has given to him the name which is greater than every name;

١٠ 10 لِكَيْ تَجْثُوَ بِٱسْمِ يَسُوعَ كُلُّ رُكْبَةٍ مِمَّنْ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَمَنْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمَنْ تَحْتَ ٱلْأَرْضِ،

So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,

١١ 11 وَيَعْتَرِفَ كُلُّ لِسَانٍ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ هُوَ رَبٌّ، لِمَجْدِ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ.

And that every tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

١٢ 12 إِذًا يَا أَحِبَّائِي، كَمَا أَطَعْتُمْ كُلَّ حِينٍ، لَيْسَ كَمَا فِي حُضُورِي فَقَطْ، بَلِ ٱلْآنَ بِٱلْأَوْلَى جِدًّا فِي غِيَابِي، تَمِّمُوا خَلَاصَكُمْ بِخَوْفٍ وَرِعْدَةٍ،

So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;

١٣ 13 لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ هُوَ ٱلْعَامِلُ فِيكُمْ أَنْ تُرِيدُوا وَأَنْ تَعْمَلُوا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْمَسَرَّةِ.

For it is God who is the cause of your desires and of your acts, for his good pleasure.

١٤ 14 اِفْعَلُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ بِلَا دَمْدَمَةٍ وَلَا مُجَادَلَةٍ،

Do all things without protests and arguments;

١٥ 15 لِكَيْ تَكُونُوا بِلَا لَوْمٍ، وَبُسَطَاءَ، أَوْلَادًا لِلهِ بِلَا عَيْبٍ فِي وَسَطِ جِيلٍ مُعَوَّجٍ وَمُلْتَوٍ، تُضِيئُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ كَأَنْوَارٍ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ.

So that you may be holy and gentle, children of God without sin in a twisted and foolish generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

١٦ 16 مُتَمَسِّكِينَ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ لِٱفْتِخَارِي فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، بِأَنِّي لَمْ أَسْعَ بَاطِلًا وَلَا تَعِبْتُ بَاطِلًا.

Offering the word of life; so that I may have glory in you in the day of Christ, because my running was not for nothing and my work was not without effect.

١٧ 17 لَكِنَّنِي وَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَنْسَكِبُ أَيْضًا عَلَى ذَبِيحَةِ إِيمَانِكُمْ وَخِدْمَتِهِ، أُسَرُّ وَأَفْرَحُ مَعَكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ.

And even if I am offered like a drink offering, giving myself for the cause and work of your faith, I am glad and have joy with you all:

١٨ 18 وَبِهَذَا عَيْنِهِ كُونُوا أَنْتُمْ مَسْرُورِينَ أَيْضًا وَٱفْرَحُوا مَعِي.

And in the same way do you be glad and have a part in my joy.

١٩ 19 عَلَى أَنِّي أَرْجُو فِي ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ أَنْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ سَرِيعًا تِيمُوثَاوُسَ لِكَيْ تَطِيبَ نَفْسِي إِذَا عَرَفْتُ أَحْوَالَكُمْ.

But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.

٢٠ 20 لِأَنْ لَيْسَ لِي أَحَدٌ آخَرُ نَظِيرُ نَفْسِي يَهْتَمُّ بِأَحْوَالِكُمْ بِإِخْلَاصٍ،

For I have no man of like mind who will truly have care for you.

٢١ 21 إِذِ ٱلْجَمِيعُ يَطْلُبُونَ مَا هُوَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا مَا هُوَ لِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

For they all go after what is theirs, not after the things of Christ.

٢٢ 22 وَأَمَّا ٱخْتِبَارُهُ فَأَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّهُ كَوَلَدٍ مَعَ أَبٍ خَدَمَ مَعِي لِأَجْلِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ.

But his quality is clear to you; how, as a child is to its father, so he was a help to me in the work of the good news.

٢٣ 23 هَذَا أَرْجُو أَنْ أُرْسِلَهُ أَوَّلَ مَا أَرَى أَحْوَالِي حَالًا.

Him then I am hoping to send as quickly as possible, when I am able to see how things will go for me:

٢٤ 24 وَأَثِقُ بِٱلرَّبِّ أَنِّي أَنَا أَيْضًا سَآتِي إِلَيْكُمْ سَرِيعًا.

But I have faith in the Lord that I myself will come before long.

٢٥ 25 وَلَكِنِّي حَسِبْتُ مِنَ ٱللَّازِمِ أَنْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ أَبَفْرُودِتُسَ أَخِي، وَٱلْعَامِلَ مَعِي، وَٱلْمُتَجَنِّدَ مَعِي، وَرَسُولَكُمْ، وَٱلْخَادِمَ لِحَاجَتِي.

But it seemed to me necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, who has taken part with me in the work and in the fight, and your servant, sent by you for help in my need;

٢٦ 26 إِذْ كَانَ مُشْتَاقًا إِلَى جَمِيعِكُمْ وَمَغْمُومًا، لِأَنَّكُمْ سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَرِيضًا.

Because his heart was with you all, and he was greatly troubled because you had news that he was ill:

٢٧ 27 فَإِنَّهُ مَرِضَ قَرِيبًا مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ، لَكِنَّ ٱللهَ رَحِمَهُ. وَلَيْسَ إِيَّاهُ وَحْدَهُ بَلْ إِيَّايَ أَيْضًا لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِي حُزْنٌ عَلَى حُزْنٍ.

For in fact he was ill almost to death: but God had mercy on him; and not only on him but on me, so that I might not have grief on grief.

٢٨ 28 فَأَرْسَلْتُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِأَوْفَرِ سُرْعَةٍ، حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ تَفْرَحُونَ أَيْضًا وَأَكُونُ أَنَا أَقَلَّ حُزْنًا.

I have sent him, then, the more gladly, so that when you see him again, you may be happy and I may have the less sorrow.

٢٩ 29 فَٱقْبَلُوهُ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ فَرَحٍ، وَلْيَكُنْ مِثْلُهُ مُكَرَّمًا عِنْدَكُمْ.

So take him to your hearts in the Lord with all joy, and give honour to such as he is:

٣٠ 30 لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ عَمَلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ قَارَبَ ٱلْمَوْتَ، مُخَاطِرًا بِنَفْسِهِ، لِكَيْ يَجْبُرَ نُقْصَانَ خِدْمَتِكُمْ لِي.

Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, putting his life in danger to make your care for me complete.
