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, therefore, ye have consolation in the Messiah, or if a commingling of hearts in love, or if a fellowship of the Spirit, or if compassions and sympathies;

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

complete ye my joy, by having one apprehension, and one love, and one soul, and one mind.

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

And do nothing in strife, or in vain glory; but, with lowliness of mind, let each esteem his neighbor as better than himself.

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

And let not each be solicitous only for himself, but every one also for his neighbor.

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

And think ye so in yourselves, as Jesus the Messiah also thought;

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

who, as he was in the likeness of God, deemed it no trespass to be the coequal of God;

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

yet divested himself, and assumed the likeness of a servant, and was in the likeness of men, and was found in fashion as a man;

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

and he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

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

Wherefore, also, God hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is more excellent than all names;

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

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of beings in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth;

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

and that every tongue should confess that Jesus the Messiah is the Lord, to the glory of God his 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،

Therefore, my beloved, as ye have at all times obeyed, not only when I was near to you, but now when I am far from you, prosecute the work of your life, more abundantly, with fear and with trembling.

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

For God is operating in you, both to purpose, and also to perform that which ye desire.

١٤ 14 اِفْعَلُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ بِلَا دَمْدَمَةٍ وَلَا مُجَادَلَةٍ،

Do all things without murmuring, and without altercation;

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

that ye may be perfect and without blemish, as the sincere children of God, who are resident in a perverse and crooked generation; and that ye may appear among them as luminaries in the world;

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

so that ye may be to them in place of life; for my glory in the day of the Messiah, that I may not have run in vain or toiled for naught.

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

And if I should be made a libation upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and exult with you all.

١٨ 18 وَبِهَذَا عَيْنِهِ كُونُوا أَنْتُمْ مَسْرُورِينَ أَيْضًا وَٱفْرَحُوا مَعِي.

And so also do ye rejoice and exult with me.

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

But I hope in our Lord Jesus, that I shall shortly send Timothy unto you, so that I also may have composure, when informed concerning you.

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

For I have no other one here, who, like my self, will sincerely care for your welfare.

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

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

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

But ye know the proof of him, that as a son with his father, so he labored with me in the gospel.

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

Him I hope shortly to send to you, when I shall have seen how things result with me.

٢٤ 24 وَأَثِقُ بِٱلرَّبِّ أَنِّي أَنَا أَيْضًا سَآتِي إِلَيْكُمْ سَرِيعًا.

And I trust in my Lord, that I shall shortly come myself to you.

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

But now, a circumstance urged me to send to you Epaphroditus, the brother who is an assistant and laborer with me, but is your legate and minister to my wants.

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

For he longed to see you all, and was anxious, because he knew ye had heard, that he was sick.

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

And indeed he was sick, nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him: nor was it on him only, but also on me, that I might not have trouble upon trouble.

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

Promptly, therefore, have I sent him to you; so that when ye see him, ye may again be joyful, and I may have a little breathing.

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

Receive him then in the Lord, with all joy; and hold in honor those who are such.

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

For, because of the Messiah's work, he came near to death, and little regarded his life, that he might fulfill what you lacked in the ministration to me.
