Philippians 3
1 To sum up: my dear friends, delight in the Lord! It's not a burden for me to repeat these things to you—it's to keep you safe!
| ܡܟܝܠ ܐܚܝ ܚܕܘ ܒܡܪܢ ܗܢܝܢ ܟܕ ܗܢܝܢ ܕܐܟܬܘܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܐܢܐ ܠܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܟܘܢ ܡܙܗܪܢ |
2 Watch out for the wolves, those who do evil, those who insist on physical circumcision—
| ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܟܠܒܐ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܦܥܠܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܦܤܩ ܒܤܪܐ |
3 for it's we who are truly circumcised, worshiping by the Spirit of God, placing our assurance in Christ Jesus. We have no confidence in human abilities—
| ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܚܢܢ ܐܝܬܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܦܠܚܝܢܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܘܡܫܬܒܗܪܝܢܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܟܝܠܝܢܢ ܥܠ ܒܤܪܐ |
4 for if there was a way to rely on human nature then I myself could have that confidence! If anyone thinks they have confidence in such human things, then I outdo them:
| ܟܕ ܠܝ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܬܘܟܠܢܐ ܐܦ ܥܠ ܒܤܪܐ ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܫ ܤܒܪ ܕܬܘܟܠܢܗ ܒܒܤܪܐ ܗܘ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢܗ ܐܢܐ |
5 I was circumcised on the eighth day, I'm an Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin, a true Hebrew. Regarding legal observance I'm a Pharisee;
| ܓܙܝܪܐ ܒܪ ܬܡܢܝܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܘܗܡܐ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܒܢܝܡܝܢ ܥܒܪܝܐ ܒܪ ܥܒܪܝܐ ܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܦܪܝܫܝܐ |
6 as for religious dedication I was a persecutor of the church; while in regard to doing right according to the law I was blameless!
| ܒܛܢܢܐ ܪܕܘܦܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܘܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܗܘܝܬ |
7 But in whatever way such things gained me anything, I count them as a loss for Christ.
| ܐܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܗܘܝ ܠܝ ܚܘܤܪܢܐ ܚܫܒܬ ܐܢܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
8 Truly, I count everything as loss in exchange for the incredible benefit I've gained through knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I've thrown away all these things for him, and consider them trash, so that I might gain Christ.
| ܐܦ ܚܫܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܚܘܤܪܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܝܕܥܬܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܪܝ ܗܘ ܕܡܛܠܬܗ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܚܤܪܬ ܘܐܝܟ ܙܒܠܐ ܚܫܒܬ ܕܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܬܪ |
9 I want to be found in him, not being right because of what I've done, or what the law requires, but made right through confidence in Christ, set right by God through trusting in him.
| ܘܐܫܬܟܚ ܒܗ ܟܕ ܠܝܬ ܠܝ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܢܦܫܝ ܗܝ ܕܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܐܠܐ ܗܝ ܕܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ |
10 I want to really know him, and the power of his resurrection—to take part in his suffering and become like him in his death,
| ܕܒܗ ܐܫܬܘܕܥ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܠܚܝܠܐ ܕܩܝܡܬܗ ܘܐܫܬܘܬܦ ܒܚܫܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܕܡܐ ܒܡܘܬܗ |
11 so that somehow I might be part of the resurrection from the dead!
| ܕܠܡܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܐܡܛܐ ܠܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ |
12 Not that I've already got it all, or that I'm already perfect—but I run so that I might win what was won for me by Christ Jesus.
| ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܢܤܒܬ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܐܬܓܡܪܬ ܐܠܐ ܪܗܛ ܐܢܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܕܪܟ ܠܡܕܡ ܕܡܛܠܬܗ ܐܕܪܟܢܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
13 My friends, I don't consider that I've already won, but this is my one objective: disregarding what is behind me, I strain forward to what is in front of me.
| ܐܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܐ ܪܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܕܪܟܬ ܚܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܕܒܤܬܪܝ ܛܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܩܕܡܝ ܡܫܬܘܫܛ ܐܢܐ |
14 I run towards the finish line to win the prize of God's invitation to heaven through Christ Jesus.
| ܘܪܗܛ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܢܝܫܐ ܕܐܤܒ ܙܟܘܬܐ ܕܩܪܝܢܐ ܕܠܥܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
15 Those of us who are spiritually mature should think like this, and if you think anything different, then God will reveal this to you.
| ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܓܡܝܪܝܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܬܪܥܘܢ ܘܐܢ ܡܕܡ ܐܚܪܢܝܐܝܬ ܡܬܪܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܗܕܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܓܠܐ ܠܟܘܢ |
16 We just need to make sure that we follow what we already have understood.
| ܒܪܡ ܠܗܕܐ ܕܡܛܝܢ ܒܚܕ ܫܒܝܠܐ ܢܫܠܡ ܘܒܚܕܐ ܐܘܝܘܬܐ |
17 My friends, copy my example as others do and take note of the way to behave since you have us as a model.
| ܐܬܕܡܘ ܒܝ ܐܚܝ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܬܒܩܝܢ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܒܢ ܚܙܝܬܘܢ |
18 The way some people live makes them enemies of the cross of Christ—as I've often told you before and repeat again though it pains me so much I want to weep.
| ܐܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܚܪܢܝܐܝܬ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܙܒܢܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܒܟܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܙܩܝܦܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ |
19 They will end up being completely lost, these people whose “god” is their physical desires and who are proud of what they should be ashamed of, thinking only about the things of this world.
| ܕܚܪܬܗܘܢ ܐܒܕܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܠܗܗܘܢ ܟܪܤܗܘܢ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܗܘܢ ܒܗܬܬܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܬܪܥܝܬܗܘܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܗܝ |
20 But our homeland is heaven, and we're waiting for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from there too.
| ܕܝܠܢ ܕܝܢ ܦܘܠܚܢܢ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܗܘ ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܡܤܟܝܢܢ ܠܡܚܝܢܐ ܠܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
21 He will re-create our defective human bodies so that they will be made like his glorious body using the power by which he brings everything under his control.
| ܕܗܘ ܢܚܠܦ ܦܓܪܐ ܕܡܘܟܟܢ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܗ ܐܝܟ ܚܝܠܗ ܪܒܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܗ ܟܠ ܐܫܬܥܒܕ ܠܗ |
