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:
paulatīmathināmānau yīśukhrīṣṭasya dāsau philipinagarasthān khrīṣṭayīśoḥ sarvvān pavitralokān samiteradhyakṣān paricārakāṁśca prati patraṁ likhataḥ|
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
asmākaṁ tāta īśvaraḥ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca yuṣmabhyaṁ prasādasya śānteśca bhogaṁ deyāstāṁ|
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
ahaṁ nirantaraṁ nijasarvvaprārthanāsu yuṣmākaṁ sarvveṣāṁ kṛte sānandaṁ prārthanāṁ kurvvan
4 always in every prayer of mine for all of you, making my requests with joy,
yati vārān yuṣmākaṁ smarāmi tati vārān ā prathamād adya yāvad
5 for your partnership in the Good News from the first day until now;
yuṣmākaṁ susaṁvādabhāgitvakāraṇād īśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|
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.
yuṣmanmadhye yenottamaṁ karmma karttum ārambhi tenaiva yīśukhrīṣṭasya dinaṁ yāvat tat sādhayiṣyata ityasmin dṛḍhaviśvāso mamāste|
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.
yuṣmān sarvvān adhi mama tādṛśo bhāvo yathārtho yato'haṁ kārāvasthāyāṁ pratyuttarakaraṇe susaṁvādasya prāmāṇyakaraṇe ca yuṣmān sarvvān mayā sārddham ekānugrahasya bhāgino matvā svahṛdaye dhārayāmi|
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
aparam ahaṁ khrīṣṭayīśoḥ snehavat snehena yuṣmān kīdṛśaṁ kāṅkṣāmi tadadhīśvaro mama sākṣī vidyate|
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
mayā yat prārthyate tad idaṁ yuṣmākaṁ prema nityaṁ vṛddhiṁ gatvā
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be pure and blameless for the Day of Christ;
jñānasya viśiṣṭānāṁ parīkṣikāyāśca sarvvavidhabuddhe rbāhulyaṁ phalatu,
11 being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
khrīṣṭasya dinaṁ yāvad yuṣmākaṁ sāralyaṁ nirvighnatvañca bhavatu, īśvarasya gauravāya praśaṁsāyai ca yīśunā khrīṣṭena puṇyaphalānāṁ pūrṇatā yuṣmabhyaṁ dīyatām 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 bhrātaraḥ, māṁ prati yad yad ghaṭitaṁ tena susaṁvādapracārasya bādhā nahi kintu vṛddhireva jātā tad yuṣmān jñāpayituṁ kāmaye'haṁ|
13 so that it became evident to the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;
aparam ahaṁ khrīṣṭasya kṛte baddho'smīti rājapuryyām anyasthāneṣu ca sarvveṣāṁ nikaṭe suspaṣṭam 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.
prabhusambandhīyā aneke bhrātaraśca mama bandhanād āśvāsaṁ prāpya varddhamānenotsāhena niḥkṣobhaṁ kathāṁ pracārayanti|
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
kecid dveṣād virodhāccāpare kecicca sadbhāvāt khrīṣṭaṁ ghoṣayanti;
16 The latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
ye virodhāt khrīṣṭaṁ ghoṣayanti te pavitrabhāvāt tanna kurvvanto mama bandhanāni bahutaraklośadāyīni karttum icchanti|
17 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains.
ye ca premnā ghoṣayanti te susaṁvādasya prāmāṇyakaraṇe'haṁ niyukto'smīti jñātvā 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.
kiṁ bahunā? kāpaṭyāt saralabhāvād vā bhavet, yena kenacit prakāreṇa khrīṣṭasya ghoṣaṇā bhavatītyasmin aham ānandāmyānandiṣyāmi ca|
19 For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance, through your petition and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
yuṣmākaṁ prārthanayā yīśukhrīṣṭasyātmanaścopakāreṇa tat mannistārajanakaṁ bhaviṣyatīti jānāmi|
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 ca mamākāṅkṣā pratyāśā ca siddhiṁ gamiṣyati phalato'haṁ kenāpi prakāreṇa na lajjiṣye kintu gate sarvvasmin kāle yadvat tadvad idānīmapi sampūrṇotsāhadvārā mama śarīreṇa khrīṣṭasya mahimā jīvane maraṇe vā prakāśiṣyate|
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
yato mama jīvanaṁ khrīṣṭāya maraṇañca lābhāya|
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 śarīre mayā jīvitavyaṁ tarhi tat karmmaphalaṁ phaliṣyati tasmāt kiṁ varitavyaṁ tanmayā na jñāyate|
23 But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
dvābhyām ahaṁ sampīḍye, dehavāsatyajanāya khrīṣṭena sahavāsāya ca mamābhilāṣo bhavati yatastat sarvvottamaṁ|
24 Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
kintu dehe mamāvasthityā yuṣmākam adhikaprayojanaṁ|
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 avasthāsye yuṣmābhiḥ sarvvaiḥ sārddham avasthitiṁ kariṣye ca tayā ca viśvāse yuṣmākaṁ vṛddhyānandau janiṣyete tadahaṁ niścitaṁ jānāmi|
26 that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
tena ca matto'rthato yuṣmatsamīpe mama punarupasthitatvāt yūyaṁ khrīṣṭena yīśunā bahutaram āhlādaṁ 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;
yūyaṁ sāvadhānā bhūtvā khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādasyopayuktam ācāraṁ kurudhvaṁ yato'haṁ yuṣmān upāgatya sākṣāt kurvvan kiṁ vā dūre tiṣṭhan yuṣmākaṁ yāṁ vārttāṁ śrotum icchāmi seyaṁ yūyam ekātmānastiṣṭhatha, ekamanasā susaṁvādasambandhīyaviśvāsasya pakṣe yatadhve, vipakṣaiśca kenāpi prakāreṇa na vyākulīkriyadhva 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 teṣāṁ vināśasya lakṣaṇaṁ yuṣmākañceśvaradattaṁ paritrāṇasya lakṣaṇaṁ bhaviṣyati|
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 yuṣmābhiḥ khrīṣṭe kevalaviśvāsaḥ kriyate tannahi kintu tasya kṛte kleśo'pi sahyate tādṛśo varaḥ khrīṣṭasyānurodhād yuṣmābhiḥ prāpi,
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear is in me.
tasmāt mama yādṛśaṁ yuddhaṁ yuṣmābhiradarśi sāmprataṁ śrūyate ca tādṛśaṁ yuddhaṁ yuṣmākam api bhavati|
