1 Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ; to all the saints in Christ Jesus, who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.
paulatImathinAmAnau yIzukhrISTasya dAsau philipinagarasthAn khrISTayIzoH sarvvAn pavitralokAn samiteradhyakSAn paricArakAMzca prati patraM likhataH|
2 Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
asmAkaM tAta IzvaraH prabhu ryIzukhrISTazca yuSmabhyaM prasAdasya zAntezca bhogaM deyAstAM|
3 I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you,
ahaM nirantaraM nijasarvvaprArthanAsu yuSmAkaM sarvveSAM kRte sAnandaM prArthanAM kurvvan
4 Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;
yati vArAn yuSmAkaM smarAmi tati vArAn A prathamAd adya yAvad
5 For your communication in the gospel of Christ from the first day until now.
yuSmAkaM susaMvAdabhAgitvakAraNAd IzvaraM dhanyaM vadAmi|
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus.
yuSmanmadhye yenottamaM karmma karttum Arambhi tenaiva yIzukhrISTasya dinaM yAvat tat sAdhayiSyata ityasmin dRDhavizvAso mamAste|
7 As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that in my bands, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.
yuSmAn sarvvAn adhi mama tAdRzo bhAvo yathArtho yato'haM kArAvasthAyAM pratyuttarakaraNe susaMvAdasya prAmANyakaraNe ca yuSmAn sarvvAn mayA sArddham ekAnugrahasya bhAgino matvA svahRdaye dhArayAmi|
8 For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
aparam ahaM khrISTayIzoH snehavat snehena yuSmAn kIdRzaM kAGkSAmi tadadhIzvaro mama sAkSI vidyate|
9 And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:
mayA yat prArthyate tad idaM yuSmAkaM prema nityaM vRddhiM gatvA
10 That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,
jJAnasya viziSTAnAM parIkSikAyAzca sarvvavidhabuddhe rbAhulyaM phalatu,
11 Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
khrISTasya dinaM yAvad yuSmAkaM sAralyaM nirvighnatvaJca bhavatu, Izvarasya gauravAya prazaMsAyai ca yIzunA khrISTena puNyaphalAnAM pUrNatA yuSmabhyaM dIyatAm iti|
12 Now, brethren, I desire you should know, that the things which have happened to me, have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel:
he bhrAtaraH, mAM prati yad yad ghaTitaM tena susaMvAdapracArasya bAdhA nahi kintu vRddhireva jAtA tad yuSmAn jJApayituM kAmaye'haM|
13 So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places;
aparam ahaM khrISTasya kRte baddho'smIti rAjapuryyAm anyasthAneSu ca sarvveSAM nikaTe suspaSTam abhavat,
14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, growing confident by my bands, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.
prabhusambandhIyA aneke bhrAtarazca mama bandhanAd AzvAsaM prApya varddhamAnenotsAhena niHkSobhaM kathAM pracArayanti|
15 Some indeed, even out of envy and contention; but some also for good will preach Christ.
kecid dveSAd virodhAccApare kecicca sadbhAvAt khrISTaM ghoSayanti;
16 Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
ye virodhAt khrISTaM ghoSayanti te pavitrabhAvAt tanna kurvvanto mama bandhanAni bahutaraklozadAyIni karttum icchanti|
17 And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.
ye ca premnA ghoSayanti te susaMvAdasya prAmANyakaraNe'haM niyukto'smIti jJAtvA tat kurvvanti|
18 But what then? So that by all means, whether by occasion, or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
kiM bahunA? kApaTyAt saralabhAvAd vA bhavet, yena kenacit prakAreNa khrISTasya ghoSaNA bhavatItyasmin aham AnandAmyAnandiSyAmi ca|
19 For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
yuSmAkaM prArthanayA yIzukhrISTasyAtmanazcopakAreNa tat mannistArajanakaM bhaviSyatIti jAnAmi|
20 According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be confounded, but with all confidence, as always, so now also shall Christ be magnified in my body, wither it be by life, or by death.
tatra ca mamAkAGkSA pratyAzA ca siddhiM gamiSyati phalato'haM kenApi prakAreNa na lajjiSye kintu gate sarvvasmin kAle yadvat tadvad idAnImapi sampUrNotsAhadvArA mama zarIreNa khrISTasya mahimA jIvane maraNe vA prakAziSyate|
21 For to me, to live is Christ; and to die is gain.
yato mama jIvanaM khrISTAya maraNaJca lAbhAya|
22 And if to live in the flesh, this is to me the fruit of labour, and what I shall choose I know not.
kintu yadi zarIre mayA jIvitavyaM tarhi tat karmmaphalaM phaliSyati tasmAt kiM varitavyaM tanmayA na jJAyate|
23 But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.
dvAbhyAm ahaM sampIDye, dehavAsatyajanAya khrISTena sahavAsAya ca mamAbhilASo bhavati yatastat sarvvottamaM|
24 But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you.
kintu dehe mamAvasthityA yuSmAkam adhikaprayojanaM|
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:
aham avasthAsye yuSmAbhiH sarvvaiH sArddham avasthitiM kariSye ca tayA ca vizvAse yuSmAkaM vRddhyAnandau janiSyete tadahaM nizcitaM jAnAmi|
26 That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.
tena ca matto'rthato yuSmatsamIpe mama punarupasthitatvAt yUyaM khrISTena yIzunA bahutaram AhlAdaM lapsyadhve|
27 Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel.
yUyaM sAvadhAnA bhUtvA khrISTasya susaMvAdasyopayuktam AcAraM kurudhvaM yato'haM yuSmAn upAgatya sAkSAt kurvvan kiM vA dUre tiSThan yuSmAkaM yAM vArttAM zrotum icchAmi seyaM yUyam ekAtmAnastiSThatha, ekamanasA susaMvAdasambandhIyavizvAsasya pakSe yatadhve, vipakSaizca kenApi prakAreNa na vyAkulIkriyadhva iti|
28 And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God:
tat teSAM vinAzasya lakSaNaM yuSmAkaJcezvaradattaM paritrANasya lakSaNaM bhaviSyati|
29 For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
yato yena yuSmAbhiH khrISTe kevalavizvAsaH kriyate tannahi kintu tasya kRte klezo'pi sahyate tAdRzo varaH khrISTasyAnurodhAd yuSmAbhiH prApi,
30 Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me, and now have heard of me.
tasmAt mama yAdRzaM yuddhaM yuSmAbhiradarzi sAmprataM zrUyate ca tAdRzaM yuddhaM yuSmAkam api bhavati|
