Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons:
paulatImathinAmAnau yIshukhrIShTasya dAsau philipinagarasthAn khrIShTayIshoH sarvvAn pavitralokAn samiteradhyakShAn parichArakAMshcha prati patraM likhataH|
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
asmAkaM tAta IshvaraH prabhu ryIshukhrIShTashcha yuShmabhyaM prasAdasya shAnteshcha bhogaM deyAstAM|
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
ahaM nirantaraM nijasarvvaprArthanAsu yuShmAkaM sarvveShAM kR^ite sAnandaM prArthanAM kurvvan
4 always in every prayer of mine for all of you, making my requests with joy,
yati vArAn yuShmAkaM smarAmi tati vArAn A prathamAd adya yAvad
5 for your partnership in the Good News from the first day until now;
yuShmAkaM susaMvAdabhAgitvakAraNAd IshvaraM dhanyaM vadAmi|
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.
yuShmanmadhye yenottamaM karmma karttum Arambhi tenaiva yIshukhrIShTasya dinaM yAvat tat sAdhayiShyata ityasmin dR^iDhavishvAso mamAste|
7 It is even right for me to think this way about all of you, because I have you in my heart, because, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
yuShmAn sarvvAn adhi mama tAdR^isho bhAvo yathArtho yato. ahaM kArAvasthAyAM pratyuttarakaraNe susaMvAdasya prAmANyakaraNe cha yuShmAn sarvvAn mayA sArddham ekAnugrahasya bhAgino matvA svahR^idaye dhArayAmi|
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
aparam ahaM khrIShTayIshoH snehavat snehena yuShmAn kIdR^ishaM kA NkShAmi tadadhIshvaro mama sAkShI vidyate|
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
mayA yat prArthyate tad idaM yuShmAkaM prema nityaM vR^iddhiM gatvA
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be pure and blameless for the Day of Christ;
j nAnasya vishiShTAnAM parIkShikAyAshcha sarvvavidhabuddhe rbAhulyaM phalatu,
11 being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
khrIShTasya dinaM yAvad yuShmAkaM sAralyaM nirvighnatva ncha bhavatu, Ishvarasya gauravAya prashaMsAyai cha yIshunA khrIShTena puNyaphalAnAM pUrNatA yuShmabhyaM dIyatAm iti|
12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;
he bhrAtaraH, mAM prati yad yad ghaTitaM tena susaMvAdaprachArasya bAdhA nahi kintu vR^iddhireva jAtA tad yuShmAn j nApayituM kAmaye. ahaM|
13 so that it became evident to the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;
aparam ahaM khrIShTasya kR^ite baddho. asmIti rAjapuryyAm anyasthAneShu cha sarvveShAM nikaTe suspaShTam abhavat,
14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word without fear.
prabhusambandhIyA aneke bhrAtarashcha mama bandhanAd AshvAsaM prApya varddhamAnenotsAhena niHkShobhaM kathAM prachArayanti|
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
kechid dveShAd virodhAchchApare kechichcha sadbhAvAt khrIShTaM ghoShayanti;
16 The latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
ye virodhAt khrIShTaM ghoShayanti te pavitrabhAvAt tanna kurvvanto mama bandhanAni bahutarakloshadAyIni karttum ichChanti|
17 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains.
ye cha premnA ghoShayanti te susaMvAdasya prAmANyakaraNe. ahaM niyukto. asmIti j nAtvA tat kurvvanti|
18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether out of false motives or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
kiM bahunA? kApaTyAt saralabhAvAd vA bhavet, yena kenachit prakAreNa khrIShTasya ghoShaNA bhavatItyasmin aham AnandAmyAnandiShyAmi cha|
19 For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance, through your petition and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
yuShmAkaM prArthanayA yIshukhrIShTasyAtmanashchopakAreNa tat mannistArajanakaM bhaviShyatIti jAnAmi|
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
tatra cha mamAkA NkShA pratyAshA cha siddhiM gamiShyati phalato. ahaM kenApi prakAreNa na lajjiShye kintu gate sarvvasmin kAle yadvat tadvad idAnImapi sampUrNotsAhadvArA mama sharIreNa khrIShTasya mahimA jIvane maraNe vA prakAshiShyate|
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
yato mama jIvanaM khrIShTAya maraNa ncha lAbhAya|
22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I do not make known what I will choose.
kintu yadi sharIre mayA jIvitavyaM tarhi tat karmmaphalaM phaliShyati tasmAt kiM varitavyaM tanmayA na j nAyate|
23 But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
dvAbhyAm ahaM sampIDye, dehavAsatyajanAya khrIShTena sahavAsAya cha mamAbhilASho bhavati yatastat sarvvottamaM|
24 Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
kintu dehe mamAvasthityA yuShmAkam adhikaprayojanaM|
25 And since I am persuaded of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
aham avasthAsye yuShmAbhiH sarvvaiH sArddham avasthitiM kariShye cha tayA cha vishvAse yuShmAkaM vR^iddhyAnandau janiShyete tadahaM nishchitaM jAnAmi|
26 that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
tena cha matto. arthato yuShmatsamIpe mama punarupasthitatvAt yUyaM khrIShTena yIshunA bahutaram AhlAdaM lapsyadhve|
27 Only let your manner of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
yUyaM sAvadhAnA bhUtvA khrIShTasya susaMvAdasyopayuktam AchAraM kurudhvaM yato. ahaM yuShmAn upAgatya sAkShAt kurvvan kiM vA dUre tiShThan yuShmAkaM yAM vArttAM shrotum ichChAmi seyaM yUyam ekAtmAnastiShThatha, ekamanasA susaMvAdasambandhIyavishvAsasya pakShe yatadhve, vipakShaishcha kenApi prakAreNa na vyAkulIkriyadhva iti|
28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
tat teShAM vinAshasya lakShaNaM yuShmAka ncheshvaradattaM paritrANasya lakShaNaM bhaviShyati|
29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
yato yena yuShmAbhiH khrIShTe kevalavishvAsaH kriyate tannahi kintu tasya kR^ite klesho. api sahyate tAdR^isho varaH khrIShTasyAnurodhAd yuShmAbhiH prApi,
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear is in me.
tasmAt mama yAdR^ishaM yuddhaM yuShmAbhiradarshi sAmprataM shrUyate cha tAdR^ishaM yuddhaM yuShmAkam api bhavati|
