Philippians 4
1 My fellow believers, I love you, and I long for you. You make me happy [MTY], and I am (proud of/pleased with) you. Dear friends, on the basis [of all that I have told you], continue to believe firmly in the Lord doing what I have just taught you.
ⲁ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏⲧⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲛⲣⲁϯ ⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲁ⳿ⲭⲗⲟⲙ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲛⲣⲁϯ.
2 I urge [you(sg)], Euodia, and I urge [you(sg)], Syntyche, to again have a peaceful relationship with each other, [because you both have a relationship with] the Lord.
ⲃ̅ⲉⲩⲟⲇⲓⲁ ϯϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲥⲩⲛⲧⲩⲭⲏ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲣⲱ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪.
3 And, my faithful comrade/partner, I request that you [(sg)] help them [to again have a peaceful relationship with each other], because they have [faithfully proclaimed] the message [about Christ] together with me, [even though many people] have opposed us [(exc)]. They have faithfully proclaimed that message together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names [are] in the book [in which God has written the names of all those people who will] live [forever].
ⲅ̅ⲥⲉ ϯϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲕ ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲥⲩⲛⲍⲩⲅⲉ ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲧⲕ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁⲩϭⲓϧⲓⲥⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡⲕⲉ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲙⲉⲛⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡⲥⲉⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϫⲱⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ.
4 [Because you have a relationship with] the Lord, always rejoice! I’m saying it again, rejoice!
ⲇ̅ⲣⲁϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲣⲁϣⲓ.
5 [Act in such a way that] everyone can know that you are gentle. The Lord is coming soon.
ⲉ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲧⲉⲡⲓⲕⲏⲥ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ϧⲉⲛⲧ.
6 Do not worry about anything. Instead, in every situation, pray [to God], tell him what you need, and ask him [to help you] [DOU]. Also thank [him for what he does for you].
ⲋ̅⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣϥⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩϣ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲉⲩⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲧⲱⲃϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲧⲏⲙⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲫϯ.
7 As a result, God will enable you not to worry [about anything] [MTY] (OR, God will protect your minds [in every way]) [PRS]. [That is], he will cause you to have [inner] peace [because you have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. You will not be able to understand [PRS] [how you can be so peaceful in such difficult circumstances!]!
ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧϭⲟⲥⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲥ⳿ⲉⲁⲣⲉϩ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲩⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅.
8 My fellow believers, there is one more thing I [want you to do]. Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is right, whatever is morally pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is admirable, whatever is good, whatever [deserves] praise, those are the things that you should continually think about.
ⲏ̅ⲧⲟ ⲗⲟⲓⲡⲟⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲏ ⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲉⲧⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲇⲓⲕⲉⲟⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲉⲧⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟ ⲛⲉ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲓ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϣⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ.
9 Those things that I have taught you and that you have learned from me, those things that you have heard me [say] and that you have seen me [do], those are the things that you yourselves should continually do. As a result [of your doing those things], God, the one who [causes us to] have [inner] peace, will (be with/bless) you.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲃⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲟⲑⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲁⲣⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯϩⲓⲣⲏ ⲛⲏ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ.
10 I rejoice greatly [and thank] the Lord because now, after some time, [by sending money to me] you have once again shown that you are concerned about me [EUP]. Indeed, you were concerned about me [all the time], but you had no opportunity [to show that you were concerned about me].
ⲓ̅ⲁⲓⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϣⲱ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡ⳪ ϫⲉ ϩⲏⲇⲏ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲫ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ.
11 I am saying this not because I [am concerned that I] lack things [that I need]. In fact, I have learned to be content in whatever [situation] I am.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲭ ⲟⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲣϧⲁ⳿ⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲏ ⳿ⲉϯ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱϣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ.
12 [Specifically], I know how [to be content when] I do not have what I need, and I know how [to be content when] I have plenty. I have learned how [to be content] in any and every [situation] [DOU]. [Specifically], I have learned how [to be content when] I have enough to eat, and I have learned how [to be content when] I do not have enough to eat. I have learned how [to be content when] I have plenty [DOU] [of what I need], and I have learned [how to be content when] I lack [things].
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϯⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲉⲃⲓⲟ ϯⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲃⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛϧⲏ ⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲥⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲕⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣϧⲁ⳿ⲉ.
13 I am able (to cope with/to handle) every situation because [Christ] gives me the strength to do that.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥϯⲛⲟⲙϯ ⲛⲏⲓ.
14 Nevertheless, you did very well by [helping me] (OR, [giving me money]) [EUP] while I have been suffering hardship.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅⳿ⲡⲗⲏⲛ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏ ⲣ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁϩⲟϫϩⲉϫ.
15 [My friends there at Philippi], you yourselves know that when I first [proclaimed] the message about Christ [to you], and then left there to go to Macedonia [province], you were the only group of believers [LIT] who [sent me] gifts [EUP] in order that I might [proclaim that message] to others just like I did for you.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲣⲉⲙⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲉⲕ⳿ⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϭⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ.
16 Even [when I was] in Thessalonica [city], you sent [money] [EUP] to me two different times [IDM] in order to [supply] what I needed.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲉⲥⲥⲁⲗⲟⲛⲓⲕⲏ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲃ̅ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱⲣⲡ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ⲭⲣⲓⲁ.
17 I say this, not because I desire that you give me money now. Instead, I desire that [God] will abundantly bless [MET] you as a result of [your helping me].
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲭ ⲟⲧⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲓⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲓⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲧⲁϩ ⲉⲧⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲱⲃ.
18 But I have received a very generous [gift] [EUP] [from you], and [as a result], I have plenty. I have an abundant supply [of what I need because] I have received from Epaphroditus the money [EUP] that you [sent to me]. God considers that your gift is very acceptable, and he is very pleased with it. [Your gift is like] a nice-smelling sacrifice [MET].
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲓϭⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲉⲣϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲁⲓⲙⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϭⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲉⲡⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲟⲇⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥⲑⲟⲓⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϣⲟⲩϣⲱⲟⲩϣⲓ ⲉϥϣⲏⲡ ⲉϥⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ.
19 [Moreover], God, [whom] I [serve], has an unlimited supply [of everything that we(inc) need]. And as a result, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, he will completely supply everything that you need.

21 Greet [for me/us(exc)] all of God’s people [there, that is, all those who have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. The fellow believers who [serve God together] with me here send their greetings to you (OR, say they are thinking fondly of you).
