< Philippians 1 >
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.
paulatīmathināmānau yīśukhrīṣṭasya dāsau philipinagarasthān khrīṣṭayīśōḥ sarvvān pavitralōkān samitēradhyakṣān paricārakāṁśca prati patraṁ likhataḥ|
2 Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
asmākaṁ tāta īśvaraḥ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca yuṣmabhyaṁ prasādasya śāntēśca bhōgaṁ dēyāstāṁ|
3 I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you,
ahaṁ nirantaraṁ nijasarvvaprārthanāsu yuṣmākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ kr̥tē sānandaṁ prārthanāṁ kurvvan
4 Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;
yati vārān yuṣmākaṁ smarāmi tati vārān ā prathamād adya yāvad
5 For your communication in the gospel of Christ from the first day until now.
yuṣmākaṁ susaṁvādabhāgitvakāraṇād īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|
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.
yuṣmanmadhyē yēnōttamaṁ karmma karttum ārambhi tēnaiva yīśukhrīṣṭasya dinaṁ yāvat tat sādhayiṣyata ityasmin dr̥ḍhaviśvāsō mamāstē|
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.
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 Jesus Christ.
aparam ahaṁ khrīṣṭayīśōḥ snēhavat snēhēna yuṣmān kīdr̥śaṁ kāṅkṣāmi tadadhīśvarō mama sākṣī vidyatē|
9 And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:
mayā yat prārthyatē tad idaṁ yuṣmākaṁ prēma nityaṁ vr̥ddhiṁ gatvā
10 That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,
jñānasya viśiṣṭānāṁ parīkṣikāyāśca sarvvavidhabuddhē rbāhulyaṁ phalatu,
11 Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
khrīṣṭasya dinaṁ yāvad yuṣmākaṁ sāralyaṁ nirvighnatvañca bhavatu, īśvarasya gauravāya praśaṁsāyai ca yīśunā khrīṣṭēna puṇyaphalānāṁ pūrṇatā yuṣmabhyaṁ dīyatām 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:
hē bhrātaraḥ, māṁ prati yad yad ghaṭitaṁ tēna susaṁvādapracārasya bādhā nahi kintu vr̥ddhirēva jātā tad yuṣmān jñāpayituṁ kāmayē'haṁ|
13 So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places;
aparam ahaṁ khrīṣṭasya kr̥tē baddhō'smīti rājapuryyām anyasthānēṣu ca sarvvēṣāṁ nikaṭē suspaṣṭam 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.
prabhusambandhīyā anēkē bhrātaraśca mama bandhanād āśvāsaṁ prāpya varddhamānēnōtsāhēna niḥkṣōbhaṁ kathāṁ pracārayanti|
15 Some indeed, even out of envy and contention; but some also for good will preach Christ.
kēcid dvēṣād virōdhāccāparē kēcicca sadbhāvāt khrīṣṭaṁ ghōṣayanti;
16 Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
yē virōdhāt khrīṣṭaṁ ghōṣayanti tē pavitrabhāvāt tanna kurvvantō mama bandhanāni bahutaraklōśadāyīni karttum icchanti|
17 And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.
yē ca prēmnā ghōṣayanti tē susaṁvādasya prāmāṇyakaraṇē'haṁ niyuktō'smīti jñātvā 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.
kiṁ bahunā? kāpaṭyāt saralabhāvād vā bhavēt, yēna kēnacit prakārēṇa khrīṣṭasya ghōṣaṇā bhavatītyasmin aham ānandāmyānandiṣyāmi 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,
yuṣmākaṁ prārthanayā yīśukhrīṣṭasyātmanaścōpakārēṇa tat mannistārajanakaṁ bhaviṣyatīti jānāmi|
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 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 to me, to live is Christ; and to die is gain.
yatō mama jīvanaṁ khrīṣṭāya maraṇañca lābhāya|
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 śarīrē mayā jīvitavyaṁ tarhi tat karmmaphalaṁ phaliṣyati tasmāt kiṁ varitavyaṁ tanmayā na jñāyatē|
23 But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.
dvābhyām ahaṁ sampīḍyē, dēhavāsatyajanāya khrīṣṭēna sahavāsāya ca mamābhilāṣō bhavati yatastat sarvvōttamaṁ|
24 But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you.
kintu dēhē mamāvasthityā yuṣmākam adhikaprayōjanaṁ|
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:
aham avasthāsyē yuṣmābhiḥ sarvvaiḥ sārddham avasthitiṁ kariṣyē ca tayā ca viśvāsē yuṣmākaṁ vr̥ddhyānandau janiṣyētē tadahaṁ niścitaṁ jānāmi|
26 That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.
tēna ca mattō'rthatō yuṣmatsamīpē mama punarupasthitatvāt yūyaṁ khrīṣṭēna yīśunā bahutaram āhlādaṁ lapsyadhvē|
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.
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 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 tēṣāṁ vināśasya lakṣaṇaṁ yuṣmākañcēśvaradattaṁ paritrāṇasya lakṣaṇaṁ bhaviṣyati|
29 For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
yatō yēna yuṣmābhiḥ khrīṣṭē kēvalaviśvāsaḥ kriyatē tannahi kintu tasya kr̥tē klēśō'pi sahyatē tādr̥śō varaḥ khrīṣṭasyānurōdhād yuṣmābhiḥ prāpi,
30 Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me, and now have heard of me.
tasmāt mama yādr̥śaṁ yuddhaṁ yuṣmābhiradarśi sāmprataṁ śrūyatē ca tādr̥śaṁ yuddhaṁ yuṣmākam api bhavati|
