Philippians 2
1 If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
khrīṣṭād yadi kimapi sāntvanaṁ kaścit premajāto harṣaḥ kiñcid ātmanaḥ samabhāgitvaṁ kācid anukampā kṛpā vā jāyate tarhi yūyaṁ mamāhlādaṁ pūrayanta
2 make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
ekabhāvā ekapremāṇa ekamanasa ekaceṣṭāśca bhavata|
3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
virodhād darpād vā kimapi mā kuruta kintu namratayā svebhyo'parān viśiṣṭān manyadhvaṁ|
4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
kevalam ātmahitāya na ceṣṭamānāḥ parahitāyāpi ceṣṭadhvaṁ|
5 Have this in your attitude, which was also in Christ Jesus,
khrīṣṭasya yīśo ryādṛśaḥ svabhāvo yuṣmākam api tādṛśo bhavatu|
6 who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
sa īśvararūpī san svakīyām īśvaratulyatāṁ ślāghāspadaṁ nāmanyata,
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
kintu svaṁ śūnyaṁ kṛtvā dāsarūpī babhūva narākṛtiṁ lebhe ca|
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.
itthaṁ naramūrttim āśritya namratāṁ svīkṛtya mṛtyorarthataḥ kruśīyamṛtyoreva bhogāyājñāgrāhī babhūva|
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;
tatkāraṇād īśvaro'pi taṁ sarvvonnataṁ cakāra yacca nāma sarvveṣāṁ nāmnāṁ śreṣṭhaṁ tadeva tasmai dadau,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
tatastasmai yīśunāmne svargamartyapātālasthitaiḥ sarvvai rjānupātaḥ karttavyaḥ,
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
tātastheśvarasya mahimne ca yīśukhrīṣṭaḥ prabhuriti jihvābhiḥ svīkarttavyaṁ|
12 So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with awe and reverence.
ato he priyatamāḥ, yuṣmābhi ryadvat sarvvadā kriyate tadvat kevale mamopasthitikāle tannahi kintvidānīm anupasthite'pi mayi bahutarayatnenājñāṁ gṛhītvā bhayakampābhyāṁ svasvaparitrāṇaṁ sādhyatāṁ|
13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.
yata īśvara eva svakīyānurodhād yuṣmanmadhye manaskāmanāṁ karmmasiddhiñca vidadhāti|
14 Do everything without complaining or arguing,
yūyaṁ kalahavivādarvijatam ācāraṁ kurvvanto'nindanīyā akuṭilā
15 that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
īśvarasya niṣkalaṅkāśca santānāiva vakrabhāvānāṁ kuṭilācāriṇāñca lokānāṁ madhye tiṣṭhata,
16 holding up the word of life; that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.
yatasteṣāṁ madhye yūyaṁ jīvanavākyaṁ dhārayanto jagato dīpakā iva dīpyadhve| yuṣmābhistathā kṛte mama yatnaḥ pariśramo vā na niṣphalo jāta ityahaṁ khrīṣṭasya dine ślāghāṁ karttuṁ śakṣyāmi|
17 Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.
yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsārthakāya balidānāya sevanāya ca yadyapyahaṁ niveditavyo bhaveyaṁ tathāpi tenānandāmi sarvveṣāṁ yuṣmākam ānandasyāṁśī bhavāmi ca|
18 In the same way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.
tadvad yūyamapyānandata madīyānandasyāṁśino bhavata ca|
19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.
yuṣmākam avasthām avagatyāhamapi yat sāntvanāṁ prāpnuyāṁ tadarthaṁ tīmathiyaṁ tvarayā yuṣmatsamīpaṁ preṣayiṣyāmīti prabhau pratyāśāṁ kurvve|
20 For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
yaḥ satyarūpeṇa yuṣmākaṁ hitaṁ cintayati tādṛśa ekabhāvastasmādanyaḥ ko'pi mama sannidhau nāsti|
21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
yato'pare sarvve yīśoḥ khrīṣṭasya viṣayān na cintayanta ātmaviṣayān cintayanti|
22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.
kintu tasya parīkṣitatvaṁ yuṣmābhi rjñāyate yataḥ putro yādṛk pituḥ sahakārī bhavati tathaiva susaṁvādasya paricaryyāyāṁ sa mama sahakārī jātaḥ|
23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
ataeva mama bhāvidaśāṁ jñātvā tatkṣaṇāt tameva preṣayituṁ pratyāśāṁ kurvve
24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
svayam ahamapi tūrṇaṁ yuṣmatsamīpaṁ gamiṣyāmītyāśāṁ prabhunā kurvve|
25 But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need;
aparaṁ ya ipāphradīto mama bhrātā karmmayuddhābhyāṁ mama sahāyaśca yuṣmākaṁ dūto madīyopakārāya pratinidhiścāsti yuṣmatsamīpe tasya preṣaṇam āvaśyakam amanye|
26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled, because you had heard that he was sick.
yataḥ sa yuṣmān sarvvān akāṅkṣata yuṣmābhistasya rogasya vārttāśrāvīti buddhvā paryyaśocacca|
27 For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
sa pīḍayā mṛtakalpo'bhavaditi satyaṁ kintvīśvarastaṁ dayitavān mama ca duḥkhāt paraṁ punarduḥkhaṁ yanna bhavet tadarthaṁ kevalaṁ taṁ na dayitvā māmapi dayitavān|
28 I have sent him all the more eagerly, therefore, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and that I may be less anxious.
ataeva yūyaṁ taṁ vilokya yat punarānandeta mamāpi duḥkhasya hrāso yad bhavet tadartham ahaṁ tvarayā tam apreṣayaṁ|
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honor,
ato yūyaṁ prabhoḥ kṛte sampūrṇenānandena taṁ gṛhlīta tādṛśān lokāṁścādaraṇīyān manyadhvaṁ|
30 because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
yato mama sevane yuṣmākaṁ truṭiṁ pūrayituṁ sa prāṇān paṇīkṛtya khrīṣṭasya kāryyārthaṁ mṛtaprāye'bhavat|
