Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the sanctified in Jesus Christ who are at Philippi, with the guardians and helpers:
paulatīmathināmānau yīśukhrīṣṭasya dāsau philipinagarasthān khrīṣṭayīśoḥ sarvvān pavitralokān samiteradhyakṣān paricārakāṁśca prati patraṁ likhataḥ|
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
asmākaṁ tāta īśvaraḥ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca yuṣmabhyaṁ prasādasya śānteśca bhogaṁ deyāstāṁ|
3 I thank my God upon every memory of you,
ahaṁ nirantaraṁ nijasarvvaprārthanāsu yuṣmākaṁ sarvveṣāṁ kṛte sānandaṁ prārthanāṁ kurvvan
4 always in my every entreaty for all of you, making the entreaty with joy
yati vārān yuṣmākaṁ smarāmi tati vārān ā prathamād adya yāvad
5 for your participation in the good news from the first day until now.
yuṣmākaṁ susaṁvādabhāgitvakāraṇād īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|
6 Being confident of this same thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.
yuṣmanmadhye yenottamaṁ karmma karttum ārambhi tenaiva yīśukhrīṣṭasya dinaṁ yāvat tat sādhayiṣyata ityasmin dṛḍhaviśvāso mamāste|
7 Just as it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the good news, you all being partners with me of the grace.
yuṣmān sarvvān adhi mama tādṛśo bhāvo yathārtho yato'haṁ kārāvasthāyāṁ pratyuttarakaraṇe susaṁvādasya prāmāṇyakaraṇe ca yuṣmān sarvvān mayā sārddham ekānugrahasya bhāgino matvā svahṛdaye dhārayāmi|
8 For God is my witness, how I long for you all in bowels of Jesus Christ.
aparam ahaṁ khrīṣṭayīśoḥ snehavat snehena yuṣmān kīdṛśaṁ kāṅkṣāmi tadadhīśvaro mama sākṣī vidyate|
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment
mayā yat prārthyate tad idaṁ yuṣmākaṁ prema nityaṁ vṛddhiṁ gatvā
10 for you to examine the things that are significant. So that ye may be tested by sunlight and not stumbling toward the day of Christ,
jñānasya viśiṣṭānāṁ parīkṣikāyāśca sarvvavidhabuddhe rbāhulyaṁ phalatu,
11 having been filled with fruits of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, for glory and praise of God.
khrīṣṭasya dinaṁ yāvad yuṣmākaṁ sāralyaṁ nirvighnatvañca bhavatu, īśvarasya gauravāya praśaṁsāyai ca yīśunā khrīṣṭena puṇyaphalānāṁ pūrṇatā yuṣmabhyaṁ dīyatām iti|
12 But I want you to know, brothers, that the things in respect to me have come more for the advancement of the good news,
he bhrātaraḥ, māṁ prati yad yad ghaṭitaṁ tena susaṁvādapracārasya bādhā nahi kintu vṛddhireva jātā tad yuṣmān jñāpayituṁ kāmaye'haṁ|
13 in order for my bonds in Christ to become apparent in the whole Praetorium, and in all the others.
aparam ahaṁ khrīṣṭasya kṛte baddho'smīti rājapuryyām anyasthāneṣu ca sarvveṣāṁ nikaṭe suspaṣṭam abhavat,
14 And more of the brothers in the Lord have been convinced by my bonds to be much more bold to speak the word fearlessly.
prabhusambandhīyā aneke bhrātaraśca mama bandhanād āśvāsaṁ prāpya varddhamānenotsāhena niḥkṣobhaṁ kathāṁ pracārayanti|
15 Actually some even preach the Christ because of envy and strife, and some also because of good-will.
kecid dveṣād virodhāccāpare kecicca sadbhāvāt khrīṣṭaṁ ghoṣayanti;
16 Some indeed proclaim the Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to bring affliction to my bonds.
ye virodhāt khrīṣṭaṁ ghoṣayanti te pavitrabhāvāt tanna kurvvanto mama bandhanāni bahutaraklośadāyīni karttum icchanti|
17 But some from love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the good news.
ye ca premnā ghoṣayanti te susaṁvādasya prāmāṇyakaraṇe'haṁ niyukto'smīti jñātvā tat kurvvanti|
18 What then? Except in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice, but also I will rejoice.
kiṁ bahunā? kāpaṭyāt saralabhāvād vā bhavet, yena kenacit prakāreṇa khrīṣṭasya ghoṣaṇā bhavatītyasmin aham ānandāmyānandiṣyāmi ca|
19 For I know that this will turn out to me for salvation (through your entreaty, and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ)
yuṣmākaṁ prārthanayā yīśukhrīṣṭasyātmanaścopakāreṇa tat mannistārajanakaṁ bhaviṣyatīti jānāmi|
20 according to my eager expectation and hope that I will be shamed in nothing. But with all boldness, now as always, Christ will also be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.
tatra ca mamākāṅkṣā pratyāśā ca siddhiṁ gamiṣyati phalato'haṁ kenāpi prakāreṇa na lajjiṣye kintu gate sarvvasmin kāle yadvat tadvad idānīmapi sampūrṇotsāhadvārā mama śarīreṇa khrīṣṭasya mahimā jīvane maraṇe vā prakāśiṣyate|
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
yato mama jīvanaṁ khrīṣṭāya maraṇañca lābhāya|
22 But if to live in flesh, this is fruit of labor to me, then what I will choose I know not.
kintu yadi śarīre mayā jīvitavyaṁ tarhi tat karmmaphalaṁ phaliṣyati tasmāt kiṁ varitavyaṁ tanmayā na jñāyate|
23 And I am constrained by the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, being far better.
dvābhyām ahaṁ sampīḍye, dehavāsatyajanāya khrīṣṭena sahavāsāya ca mamābhilāṣo bhavati yatastat sarvvottamaṁ|
24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary because of you.
kintu dehe mamāvasthityā yuṣmākam adhikaprayojanaṁ|
25 And having been convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and will continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith.
aham avasthāsye yuṣmābhiḥ sarvvaiḥ sārddham avasthitiṁ kariṣye ca tayā ca viśvāse yuṣmākaṁ vṛddhyānandau janiṣyete tadahaṁ niścitaṁ jānāmi|
26 So that your pride may abound in Christ Jesus in me because of my presence with you again.
tena ca matto'rthato yuṣmatsamīpe mama punarupasthitatvāt yūyaṁ khrīṣṭena yīśunā bahutaram āhlādaṁ lapsyadhve|
27 Only be citizens worthy of the good news of the Christ, so that, whether having come and having seen you or being absent, I may hear things about you that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the good news.
yūyaṁ sāvadhānā bhūtvā khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādasyopayuktam ācāraṁ kurudhvaṁ yato'haṁ yuṣmān upāgatya sākṣāt kurvvan kiṁ vā dūre tiṣṭhan yuṣmākaṁ yāṁ vārttāṁ śrotum icchāmi seyaṁ yūyam ekātmānastiṣṭhatha, ekamanasā susaṁvādasambandhīyaviśvāsasya pakṣe yatadhve, vipakṣaiśca kenāpi prakāreṇa na vyākulīkriyadhva iti|
28 And not being frightened in anything by those who oppose, which is indeed a sign of destruction to them, but to you of salvation, and this from God.
tat teṣāṁ vināśasya lakṣaṇaṁ yuṣmākañceśvaradattaṁ paritrāṇasya lakṣaṇaṁ bhaviṣyati|
29 Because to you it was granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,
yato yena yuṣmābhiḥ khrīṣṭe kevalaviśvāsaḥ kriyate tannahi kintu tasya kṛte kleśo'pi sahyate tādṛśo varaḥ khrīṣṭasyānurodhād yuṣmābhiḥ prāpi,
30 having the same conflict such as ye saw in me, and now hear is in me.
tasmāt mama yādṛśaṁ yuddhaṁ yuṣmābhiradarśi sāmprataṁ śrūyate ca tādṛśaṁ yuddhaṁ yuṣmākam api bhavati|
