< Philippians 2 >

1 If therefore there is any exhortation in Messiah, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
فَمَادَامَ لَنَا التَّشْجِيعُ فِي الْمَسِيحِ، وَالتَّعْزِيَةُ فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ، وَالشَّرِكَةُ فِي الرُّوحِ، وَلَنَا الْمَرَاحِمُ وَالْحُنُوُّ،١
2 make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
فَتَمِّمُوا فَرَحِي بِأَنْ يَكُونَ لَكُمْ رَأْيٌ وَاحِدٌ وَمَحَبَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ وَنَفْسٌ وَاحِدَةٌ وَفِكْرٌ وَاحِدٌ.٢
3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
لَا يَكُنْ بَيْنَكُمْ شَيْءٌ بِرُوحِ التَّحَزُّبِ وَالاِفْتِخَارِ الْبَاطِلِ، بَلْ بِالتَّوَاضُعِ لِيَعْتَبِرْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ غَيْرَهُ أَفْضَلَ كَثِيراً مِنْ نَفْسِهِ،٣
4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
مُهْتَمّاً لَا بِمَصْلَحَتِهِ الْخَاصَّةِ بَلْ بِمَصَالِحِ الآخَرِينَ أَيْضاً.٤
5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Messiah Yeshua,
فَلْيَكُنْ فِيكُمْ هَذَا الْفِكْرُ الَّذِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.٥
6 who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
إِذْ إِنَّهُ، وَهُوَ الْكَائِنُ فِي هَيْئَةِ اللهِ، لَمْ يَعْتَبِرْ مُسَاوَاتَهُ لِلهِ خُلْسَةً، أَوْ غَنِيمَةً يُتَمَسَّكُ بِها؛٦
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
بَلْ أَخْلَى نَفْسَهُ، مُتَّخِذاً صُورَةَ عَبْدٍ، صَائِراً شَبِيهاً بِالْبَشَرِ؛٧
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
وَإِذْ ظَهَرَ بِهَيْئَةِ إِنْسَانٍ، أَمْعَنَ فِي الاِتِّضَاعِ، وَكَانَ طَائِعاً حَتَّى الْمَوْتِ، مَوْتِ الصَّلِيبِ.٨
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,
لِذَلِكَ أَيْضاً رَفَّعَهُ اللهُ عَالِياً، وَأَعْطَاهُ الاِسْمَ الَّذِي يَفُوقُ كُلَّ اسْمٍ،٩
10 that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
لِكَيْ تَنْحَنِيَ سُجُوداً لاِسْمِ يَسُوعَ كُلُّ رُكْبَةٍ، سَوَاءٌ فِي السَّمَاءِ أَمْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ أَمْ تَحْتَ الأَرْضِ،١٠
11 and that every tongue should confess that Yeshua the Messiah is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
وَلِكَيْ يَعْتَرِفَ كُلُّ لِسَانٍ بِأَنَّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحَ هُوَ الرَّبُّ، لِمَجْدِ اللهِ الآبِ.١١
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 fear and trembling.
إِذَنْ، يَا أَحِبَّائِي، كَمَا كُنْتُمْ تُطِيعُونَ دَائِماً، لَا كَمَا لَوْ أَنَّنِي حَاضِرٌ وَحَسْبُ، بَلْ بِالأَحْرَى كَثِيراً الآنَ وَأَنَا غَائِبٌ، كَذَلِكَ اسْعَوْا لِتَتْمِيمِ خَلاصِكُمْ بِخَوْفٍ وَارْتِعَادٍ،١٢
13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
لأَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الَّذِي يُنْشِئُ فِيكُمُ الإِرَادَةَ وَالْعَمَلَ لأَجْلِ مَرْضَاتِهِ.١٣
14 Do all things without complaining and arguing,
فَافْعَلُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ دُونَ تَذَمُّرٍ أَوْ جِدَالٍ،١٤
15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
لِتَكُونُوا بِلا أَذىً وَبُسَطَاءَ، أَوْلاداً لِلهِ لَا يُعَابُونَ بِشَيْءٍ فِي وَسَطِ جِيلٍ مُنْحَرِفٍ فَاسِدٍ، تُضِيئُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ كَأَنْوَارٍ فِي الْعَالَمِ،١٥
16 holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Messiah that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.
حَامِليِنَ كَلِمَةَ الْحَيَاةِ، لِتَكُونُوا فِي يَوْمِ الْمَسِيحِ مَوْضِعَ فَخْرٍ بِأَنِّي مَا سَعَيْتُ بَاطِلاً وَلا اجْتَهَدْتُ عَبَثاً.١٦
17 Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
حَتَّى لَوْ سُفِكَ دَمِي سَكِيباً فَوْقَ ذَبِيحَةِ إِيمَانِكُمْ وَخِدْمَتِهِ، فَإِنِّي أَفْرَحُ وَأَبْتَهِجُ مَعَكُمْ جَمِيعاً.١٧
18 In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
هكَذَا أَيْضاً افْرَحُوا أَنْتُمْ، وَابْتَهِجُوا مَعِي.١٨
19 But I hope in the Lord Yeshua to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.
غَيْرَ أَنِّي أَرْجُو فِي الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ أَنْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ تِيمُوثَاوُسَ عَنْ قَرِيبٍ، لِكَيْ تَطِيبَ نَفْسِي بِمَعْرِفَةِ أَحْوَالِكُمْ.١٩
20 For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
فَلَيْسَ عِنْدِي أَحَدٌ غَيْرَهُ يَهْتَمُّ مِثْلِي بِأَحْوَالِكُمْ بِإِخْلاصٍ.٢٠
21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Yeshua the Messiah.
فَإِنَّ الْجَمِيعَ يَسْعَوْنَ وَرَاءَ مَصَالِحِهِمِ الْخَاصَّةِ، لَا لأَجْلِ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.٢١
22 But you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.
أَمَّا تِيمُوثَاوُسُ، فَأَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّهُ مُخْتَبَرٌ، إِذْ خَدَمَ مَعِي فِي التَّبْشِيرِ بِالإِنْجِيلِ كَأَنَّهُ وَلَدٌ يُعَاوِنُ أَبَاهُ.٢٢
23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
فَإِيَّاهُ أَرْجُو أَنْ أُرْسِلَ حَالَمَا يَتَبَيَّنُ لِي كَيْفَ سَتَجْرِي أَحْوَالِي.٢٣
24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
وَلَكِنَّ لِي ثِقَةً فِي الرَّبِّ بِأَنِّي، أَنَا نَفْسِي، سَآتِي إِلَيْكُمْ عَنْ قَرِيبٍ.٢٤
25 But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your emissary and servant of my need,
إِلّا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ مِنَ الضَّرُورِيِّ أَنْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ أَبَفْرُودِيتُسَ، أَخِي وَمُعَاوِنِي وَرَفِيقِي فِي الْكِفَاحِ، وَالْمُرْسَلَ مِنْ قِبَلِكُمْ عَامِلاً عَلَى سَدِّ حَاجَتِي،٢٥
26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.
إِذْ كَانَ مُشْتَاقاً إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعاً، وَمُكْتَئِباً لِسَمَاعِكُمْ بِمَرَضِهِ.٢٦
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.
فَقَدْ مَرِضَ حَتَّى أَشْرَفَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَشْفَقَ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ وَحْدَهُ، بَلْ عَلَيَّ أَنَا أَيْضاً، لِئَلّا يُصِيبَنِي حُزْنٌ عَلَى حُزْنٍ.٢٧
28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
لِذَلِكَ عَجَّلْتُ كَثِيراً فِي إِرْسَالِهِ إِلَيْكُمْ، حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ مِنْ جَدِيدٍ تَفْرَحُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَأَكُونُ أَنَا أَقَلَّ حُزْناً.٢٨
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,
فَاقْبَلُوهُ إِذَنْ فِي الرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ فَرَحٍ، وَعَامِلُوا أَمْثَالَهُ بِالإِكْرَامِ.٢٩
30 because for the work of Messiah he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ عَمَلِ الْمَسِيحِ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، مُخَاطِراً بِحَيَاتِهِ لِيَسُدَّ مَا نَقَصَ مِنْ خِدْمَتِكُمْ لِي.٣٠
