فِيلِبِّي 1

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

Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus that are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

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 upon all my remembrance of you,

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

always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy,

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

for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now;

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

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:

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.

even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers with me of 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 tender mercies 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 knowledge and all discernment;

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

so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ;

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

being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

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

Now I would have you know, brethren, that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the gospel;

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

so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole prætorian guard, and to all the rest;

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

and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

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

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

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

the one [do it] of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel;

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

but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds.

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

What then? only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and 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 to my 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 shall I be put to shame, but [that] with all boldness, as always, [so] 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 to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

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

But if to live in the flesh, —[if] this shall bring fruit from my work, then what I shall choose I know not.

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

But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:

٢٤ 24 وَلَكِنْ أَنْ أَبْقَى فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ أَلْزَمُ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ.

yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

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

And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;

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

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

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 let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you or be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;

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

and in nothing affrighted by the adversaries: which is for them an evident token of perdition, 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 it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:

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

having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
