< Philippians 1 >
1 Paul and Timotheus, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with [the] overseers and ministers;
paulatīmathināmānau yīśukhrīṣṭasya dāsau philipinagarasthān khrīṣṭayīśōḥ sarvvān pavitralōkān samitēradhyakṣān 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 śāntēśca bhōgaṁ dēyāstāṁ|
3 I thank my God for my whole remembrance of you,
ahaṁ nirantaraṁ nijasarvvaprārthanāsu yuṣmākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ kr̥tē sānandaṁ prārthanāṁ kurvvan
4 constantly in my every supplication, making the supplication for you all with joy,
yati vārān yuṣmākaṁ smarāmi tati vārān ā prathamād adya yāvad
5 because of your fellowship with the gospel, from the first day until now;
yuṣmākaṁ susaṁvādabhāgitvakāraṇād īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|
6 having confidence of this very thing, that he who has begun in you a good work will complete it unto Jesus Christ's day:
yuṣmanmadhyē yēnōttamaṁ karmma karttum ārambhi tēnaiva yīśukhrīṣṭasya dinaṁ yāvat tat sādhayiṣyata ityasmin dr̥ḍhaviśvāsō mamāstē|
7 as it is righteous for me to think this as to you all, because ye have me in your hearts, and that both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad tidings ye are all participators in my grace.
yuṣmān sarvvān adhi mama tādr̥śō bhāvō yathārthō yatō'haṁ kārāvasthāyāṁ pratyuttarakaraṇē susaṁvādasya prāmāṇyakaraṇē ca yuṣmān sarvvān mayā sārddham ēkānugrahasya bhāginō matvā svahr̥dayē dhārayāmi|
8 For God is my witness how I long after you all in [the] bowels of Christ Jesus.
aparam ahaṁ khrīṣṭayīśōḥ snēhavat snēhēna yuṣmān kīdr̥śaṁ kāṅkṣāmi tadadhīśvarō mama sākṣī vidyatē|
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all intelligence,
mayā yat prārthyatē tad idaṁ yuṣmākaṁ prēma nityaṁ vr̥ddhiṁ gatvā
10 that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for Christ's day,
jñānasya viśiṣṭānāṁ parīkṣikāyāśca sarvvavidhabuddhē rbāhulyaṁ phalatu,
11 being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which [is] by Jesus Christ, to God's glory and praise.
khrīṣṭasya dinaṁ yāvad yuṣmākaṁ sāralyaṁ nirvighnatvañca bhavatu, īśvarasya gauravāya praśaṁsāyai ca yīśunā khrīṣṭēna puṇyaphalānāṁ pūrṇatā yuṣmabhyaṁ dīyatām iti|
12 But I would have you know, brethren, that the circumstances in which I am have turned out rather to the furtherance of the glad tidings,
hē bhrātaraḥ, māṁ prati yad yad ghaṭitaṁ tēna susaṁvādapracārasya bādhā nahi kintu vr̥ddhirēva jātā tad yuṣmān jñāpayituṁ kāmayē'haṁ|
13 so that my bonds have become manifest [as being] in Christ in all the praetorium and to all others;
aparam ahaṁ khrīṣṭasya kr̥tē baddhō'smīti rājapuryyām anyasthānēṣu ca sarvvēṣāṁ nikaṭē suspaṣṭam abhavat,
14 and that the most of the brethren, trusting in [the] Lord through my bonds, dare more abundantly to speak the word of God fearlessly.
prabhusambandhīyā anēkē bhrātaraśca mama bandhanād āśvāsaṁ prāpya varddhamānēnōtsāhēna niḥkṣōbhaṁ kathāṁ pracārayanti|
15 Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for good will, preach the Christ.
kēcid dvēṣād virōdhāccāparē kēcicca sadbhāvāt khrīṣṭaṁ ghōṣayanti;
16 These indeed out of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the glad tidings;
yē virōdhāt khrīṣṭaṁ ghōṣayanti tē pavitrabhāvāt tanna kurvvantō mama bandhanāni bahutaraklōśadāyīni karttum icchanti|
17 but those out of contention, announce the Christ, not purely, supposing to arouse tribulation for my bonds.
yē ca prēmnā ghōṣayanti tē susaṁvādasya prāmāṇyakaraṇē'haṁ niyuktō'smīti jñātvā tat kurvvanti|
18 What is it then? at any rate, in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, yea, also I will rejoice;
kiṁ bahunā? kāpaṭyāt saralabhāvād vā bhavēt, yēna kēnacit prakārēṇa khrīṣṭasya ghōṣaṇā bhavatītyasmin aham ānandāmyānandiṣyāmi ca|
19 for I know that this shall turn out for me to salvation, through your supplication and [the] supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;
yuṣmākaṁ prārthanayā yīśukhrīṣṭasyātmanaścōpakārēṇa tat mannistārajanakaṁ bhaviṣyatīti jānāmi|
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but in all boldness, as always, now also Christ shall be magnified in my body whether by life or by death.
tatra ca mamākāṅkṣā pratyāśā ca siddhiṁ gamiṣyati phalatō'haṁ kēnāpi prakārēṇa na lajjiṣyē kintu gatē sarvvasmin kālē yadvat tadvad idānīmapi sampūrṇōtsāhadvārā mama śarīrēṇa khrīṣṭasya mahimā jīvanē maraṇē vā prakāśiṣyatē|
21 For for me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain;
yatō mama jīvanaṁ khrīṣṭāya maraṇañca lābhāya|
22 but if to live in flesh [is my lot], this is for me worth the while: and what I shall choose I cannot tell.
kintu yadi śarīrē mayā jīvitavyaṁ tarhi tat karmmaphalaṁ phaliṣyati tasmāt kiṁ varitavyaṁ tanmayā na jñāyatē|
23 But I am pressed by both, having the desire for departure and being with Christ, [for] [it is] very much better,
dvābhyām ahaṁ sampīḍyē, dēhavāsatyajanāya khrīṣṭēna sahavāsāya ca mamābhilāṣō bhavati yatastat sarvvōttamaṁ|
24 but remaining in the flesh [is] more necessary for your sakes;
kintu dēhē mamāvasthityā yuṣmākam adhikaprayōjanaṁ|
25 and having confidence of this, I know that I shall remain and abide along with you all, for your progress and joy in faith;
aham avasthāsyē yuṣmābhiḥ sarvvaiḥ sārddham avasthitiṁ kariṣyē ca tayā ca viśvāsē yuṣmākaṁ vr̥ddhyānandau janiṣyētē tadahaṁ niścitaṁ jānāmi|
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus through me by my presence again with you.
tēna ca mattō'rthatō yuṣmatsamīpē mama punarupasthitatvāt yūyaṁ khrīṣṭēna yīśunā bahutaram āhlādaṁ lapsyadhvē|
27 Only conduct yourselves worthily of the glad tidings of the Christ, in order that whether coming and seeing you, or absent, I may hear of what concerns you, that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul, labouring together in the same conflict with the faith of the glad tidings;
yūyaṁ sāvadhānā bhūtvā khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādasyōpayuktam ācāraṁ kurudhvaṁ yatō'haṁ yuṣmān upāgatya sākṣāt kurvvan kiṁ vā dūrē tiṣṭhan yuṣmākaṁ yāṁ vārttāṁ śrōtum icchāmi sēyaṁ yūyam ēkātmānastiṣṭhatha, ēkamanasā susaṁvādasambandhīyaviśvāsasya pakṣē yatadhvē, vipakṣaiśca kēnāpi prakārēṇa na vyākulīkriyadhva iti|
28 and not frightened in anything by the opposers, which is to them a demonstration of destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;
tat tēṣāṁ vināśasya lakṣaṇaṁ yuṣmākañcēśvaradattaṁ paritrāṇasya lakṣaṇaṁ bhaviṣyati|
29 because to you has been given, as regards Christ, not only the believing on him but the suffering for him also,
yatō yēna yuṣmābhiḥ khrīṣṭē kēvalaviśvāsaḥ kriyatē tannahi kintu tasya kr̥tē klēśō'pi sahyatē tādr̥śō varaḥ khrīṣṭasyānurōdhād yuṣmābhiḥ prāpi,
30 having the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear of in me.
tasmāt mama yādr̥śaṁ yuddhaṁ yuṣmābhiradarśi sāmprataṁ śrūyatē ca tādr̥śaṁ yuddhaṁ yuṣmākam api bhavati|
