فِيلِبِّي 4

١ 1 إِذًا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ، وَٱلْمُشْتَاقَ إِلَيْهِمْ، يَا سُرُورِي وَإِكْلِيلِي، ٱثْبُتُوا هَكَذَا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ.

So stand firm in the Lord, my dear friends who mean so much to me, who make me so happy! To me you are my crowning achievement! I truly love you and long to see you!

٢ 2 أَطْلُبُ إِلَى أَفُودِيَةَ وَأَطْلُبُ إِلَى سِنْتِيخِي أَنْ تَفْتَكِرَا فِكْرًا وَاحِدًا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ.

Euodia and Syntyche—I urge you to resolve your differences with each other and agree in the Lord.

٣ 3 نَعَمْ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا، يَا شَرِيكِي ٱلْمُخْلِصَ، سَاعِدْ هَاتَيْنِ ٱللَّتَيْنِ جَاهَدَتَا مَعِي فِي ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ، مَعَ أَكْلِيمَنْدُسَ أَيْضًا وَبَاقِي ٱلْعَامِلِينَ مَعِي، ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ فِي سِفْرِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ.

In fact, my faithful fellow-worker, let me ask you to help these women, for they worked together with me to spread the good news—as well as Clement and my other co-workers, whose names are recorded in the book of life.

٤ 4 اِفْرَحُوا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ كُلَّ حِينٍ، وَأَقُولُ أَيْضًا: ٱفْرَحُوا.

Always be happy in the Lord—I repeat, Be happy!

٥ 5 لِيَكُنْ حِلْمُكُمْ مَعْرُوفًا عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ. اَلرَّبُّ قَرِيبٌ.

Everyone should know about your kindness. The Lord will soon be here.

٦ 6 لَا تَهْتَمُّوا بِشَيْءٍ، بَلْ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ بِٱلصَّلَاةِ وَٱلدُّعَاءِ مَعَ ٱلشُّكْرِ، لِتُعْلَمْ طِلْبَاتُكُمْ لَدَى ٱللهِ.

Don't worry about anything, but take everything to God in prayer, explaining your requests to him and thanking him for all he does.

٧ 7 وَسَلَامُ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي يَفُوقُ كُلَّ عَقْلٍ، يَحْفَظُ قُلُوبَكُمْ وَأَفْكَارَكُمْ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

Then the peace that comes from God, which is better than we can ever imagine, will protect your thoughts and attitudes in Christ Jesus.

٨ 8 أَخِيرًا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، كُلُّ مَا هُوَ حَقٌّ، كُلُّ مَا هُوَ جَلِيلٌ، كُلُّ مَا هُوَ عَادِلٌ، كُلُّ مَا هُوَ طَاهِرٌ، كُلُّ مَا هُوَ مُسِرٌّ، كُلُّ مَا صِيتُهُ حَسَنٌ، إِنْ كَانَتْ فَضِيلَةٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَدْحٌ، فَفِي هَذِهِ ٱفْتَكِرُوا.

Lastly, whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, beautiful, commendable, whatever is truly good and deserves to be praised, think about these kinds of things.

٩ 9 وَمَا تَعَلَّمْتُمُوهُ، وَتَسَلَّمْتُمُوهُ، وَسَمِعْتُمُوهُ، وَرَأَيْتُمُوهُ فِيَّ، فَهَذَا ٱفْعَلُوا، وَإِلَهُ ٱلسَّلَامِ يَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ.

Put into practice what you learned and received from me, what you saw me doing and heard me say. Then the God of peace will be with you.

١٠ 10 ثُمَّ إِنِّي فَرِحْتُ بِٱلرَّبِّ جِدًّا لِأَنَّكُمُ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ أَزْهَرَ أَيْضًا مَرَّةً ٱعْتِنَاؤُكُمْ بِي ٱلَّذِي كُنْتُمْ تَعْتَنُونَهُ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَكُمْ فُرْصَةٌ.

I'm so happy in the Lord that you've at last thought about me again—realizing that you were concerned about me before but you couldn't do anything about it.

١١ 11 لَيْسَ أَنِّي أَقُولُ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱحْتِيَاجٍ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ تَعَلَّمْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مُكْتَفِيًا بِمَا أَنَا فِيهِ.

I'm not talking about my own needs, because I've already learned to be satisfied in whatever situation I find myself.

١٢ 12 أَعْرِفُ أَنْ أَتَّضِعَ وَأَعْرِفُ أَيْضًا أَنْ أَسْتَفْضِلَ. فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ قَدْ تَدَرَّبْتُ أَنْ أَشْبَعَ وَأَنْ أَجُوعَ، وَأَنْ أَسْتَفْضِلَ وَأَنْ أَنْقُصَ.

I'm used to having nothing, and I've experienced having plenty too. In every possible situation I've learned the secret of dealing with having plenty and going hungry, of being rich and of living in poverty:

١٣ 13 أَسْتَطِيعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلَّذِي يُقَوِّينِي.

I can do anything through him who makes me strong!

١٤ 14 غَيْرَ أَنَّكُمْ فَعَلْتُمْ حَسَنًا إِذِ ٱشْتَرَكْتُمْ فِي ضِيقَتِي.

Even so it was good of you to share with me during my troubles.

١٥ 15 وَأَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا تَعْلَمُونَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْفِيلِبِّيُّونَ أَنَّهُ فِي بَدَاءَةِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ،لَمَّا خَرَجْتُ مِنْ مَكِدُونِيَّةَ، لَمْ تُشَارِكْنِي كَنِيسَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فِي حِسَابِ ٱلْعَطَاءِ وَٱلْأَخْذِ إِلَّا أَنْتُمْ وَحْدَكُمْ.

You Philippians remember that right at the beginning of sharing the good news, when I left Macedonia, that yours was the only church that helped me financially.

١٦ 16 فَإِنَّكُمْ فِي تَسَالُونِيكِي أَيْضًا أَرْسَلْتُمْ إِلَيَّ مَرَّةً وَمَرَّتَيْنِ لِحَاجَتِي.

Even when I was in Thessalonica you helped me out not once but twice.

١٧ 17 لَيْسَ أَنِّي أَطْلُبُ ٱلْعَطِيَّةَ، بَلْ أَطْلُبُ ٱلثَّمَرَ ٱلْمُتَكَاثِرَ لِحِسَابِكُمْ.

Not that I'm looking for a donation—I'm looking for your “account” to increase in “profit.”

١٨ 18 وَلَكِنِّي قَدِ ٱسْتَوْفَيْتُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَٱسْتَفْضَلْتُ. قَدِ ٱمْتَلَأْتُ إِذْ قَبِلْتُ مِنْ أَبَفْرُودِتُسَ ٱلْأَشْيَاءَ ٱلَّتِي مِنْ عِنْدِكُمْ، نَسِيمَ رَائِحَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ، ذَبِيحَةً مَقْبُولَةً مَرْضِيَّةً عِنْدَ ٱللهِ.

For I have everything, more than I need! I'm thankful to receive from Epaphroditus the things you sent. They're like a sweet-smelling sacrifice that pleases God and that he approves of.

١٩ 19 فَيَمْلَأُ إِلَهِي كُلَّ ٱحْتِيَاجِكُمْ بِحَسَبِ غِنَاهُ فِي ٱلْمَجْدِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

My God will fill you with everything you need in accordance with his glorious wealth in Christ Jesus!

٢٠ 20 وَلِلهِ وَأَبِينَا ٱلْمَجْدُ إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدَّاهِرِينَ. آمِينَ. (aiōn g165)

Glory be to God the Father, forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

٢١ 21 سَلِّمُوا عَلَى كُلِّ قِدِّيسٍ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْإِخْوَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعِي.

Greet every fellow-believer in Christ Jesus. The Christian brothers and sisters with me send their greetings.

٢٢ 22 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعُ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ وَلَا سِيَّمَا ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ بَيْتِ قَيْصَرَ.

All the believers send you greetings, especially those from Caesar's palace.

٢٣ 23 نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ. آمِينَ. -كُتِبَتْ إِلَى أَهْلِ فِيلبيِّ مِنْ رُومِيَةِ عَلَى يَدِ أَبَفْرُودِتُسَ-

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
