< Philippians 1 >
1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Yahushua the Messiah, to all the saints in the Messiah Yahushua which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
paulatImathinAmAnau yIzukhrISTasya dAsau philipinagarasthAn khrISTayIzOH sarvvAn pavitralOkAn samitEradhyakSAn paricArakAMzca prati patraM likhataH|
2 Favour be unto you, and peace, from YHWH our Father, and from the Master Yahushua the Messiah.
asmAkaM tAta IzvaraH prabhu ryIzukhrISTazca yuSmabhyaM prasAdasya zAntEzca bhOgaM dEyAstAM|
3 I thank my Elohim upon every remembrance of you,
ahaM nirantaraM nijasarvvaprArthanAsu yuSmAkaM sarvvESAM kRtE sAnandaM prArthanAM kurvvan
4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
yati vArAn yuSmAkaM smarAmi tati vArAn A prathamAd adya yAvad
5 For your fellowship in the glad tidings from the first day until now;
yuSmAkaM susaMvAdabhAgitvakAraNAd IzvaraM dhanyaM vadAmi|
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Yahushua the Messiah:
yuSmanmadhyE yEnOttamaM karmma karttum Arambhi tEnaiva yIzukhrISTasya dinaM yAvat tat sAdhayiSyata ityasmin dRPhavizvAsO mamAstE|
7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the glad tidings, ye all are partakers of my favour.
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 YHWH is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Yahushua the Messiah.
aparam ahaM khrISTayIzOH snEhavat snEhEna yuSmAn kIdRzaM kAgkSAmi tadadhIzvarO mama sAkSI vidyatE|
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
mayA yat prArthyatE tad idaM yuSmAkaM prEma nityaM vRddhiM gatvA
10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of the Messiah;
jnjAnasya viziSTAnAM parIkSikAyAzca sarvvavidhabuddhE rbAhulyaM phalatu,
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Yahushua the Messiah, unto the glory and praise of YHWH.
khrISTasya dinaM yAvad yuSmAkaM sAralyaM nirvighnatvanjca bhavatu, Izvarasya gauravAya prazaMsAyai ca yIzunA khrISTEna puNyaphalAnAM pUrNatA yuSmabhyaM dIyatAm iti|
12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the glad tidings;
hE bhrAtaraH, mAM prati yad yad ghaTitaM tEna susaMvAdapracArasya bAdhA nahi kintu vRddhirEva jAtA tad yuSmAn jnjApayituM kAmayE'haM|
13 So that my bonds in the Messiah are manifest in all the palace, 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 Master, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
prabhusambandhIyA anEkE bhrAtarazca mama bandhanAd AzvAsaM prApya varddhamAnEnOtsAhEna niHkSObhaM kathAM pracArayanti|
15 Some indeed preach the Messiah even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
kEcid dvESAd virOdhAccAparE kEcicca sadbhAvAt khrISTaM ghOSayanti;
16 The one preach the Messiah of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
yE virOdhAt khrISTaM ghOSayanti tE pavitrabhAvAt tanna kurvvantO mama bandhanAni bahutaraklOzadAyIni karttum icchanti|
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the glad tidings.
yE ca prEmnA ghOSayanti tE susaMvAdasya prAmANyakaraNE'haM niyuktO'smIti jnjAtvA tat kurvvanti|
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, the Messiah is preached; and I therein do 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 turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Yahushua the Messiah,
yuSmAkaM prArthanayA yIzukhrISTasyAtmanazcOpakArENa tat mannistArajanakaM bhaviSyatIti jAnAmi|
20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also the Messiah shall be magnified in my body, whether 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 the Messiah, and to die is gain.
yatO mama jIvanaM khrISTAya maraNanjca lAbhAya|
22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
kintu yadi zarIrE mayA jIvitavyaM tarhi tat karmmaphalaM phaliSyati tasmAt kiM varitavyaM tanmayA na jnjAyatE|
23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with the Messiah; which is far better:
dvAbhyAm ahaM sampIPyE, dEhavAsatyajanAya khrISTEna sahavAsAya ca mamAbhilASO bhavati yatastat sarvvOttamaM|
24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more 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 be more abundant in Yahushua the Messiah 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 as it becometh the evangel of the Messiah: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the glad tidings;
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 terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of Elohim.
tat tESAM vinAzasya lakSaNaM yuSmAkanjcEzvaradattaM paritrANasya lakSaNaM bhaviSyati|
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of the Messiah, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
yatO yEna yuSmAbhiH khrISTE kEvalavizvAsaH kriyatE tannahi kintu tasya kRtE klEzO'pi sahyatE tAdRzO varaH khrISTasyAnurOdhAd yuSmAbhiH prApi,
30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
