Philippians 1

Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

بُولُسُ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ عَبْدَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، إِلَى جَمِيعِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، الَّذِينَ فِي فِيلِبِّي، مَعَ أَسَاقِفَةٍ وَشَمَامِسَةٍ:

Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلاَمٌ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

أَشْكُرُ إِلهِي عِنْدَ كُلِّ ذِكْرِي إِيَّاكُمْ

Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,

دَائِمًا فِي كُلِّ أَدْعِيَتِي، مُقَدِّمًا الطَّلْبَةَ لأَجْلِ جَمِيعِكُمْ بِفَرَحٍ،

For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;

لِسَبَبِ مُشَارَكَتِكُمْ فِي الإِنْجِيلِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ إِلَى الآنَ.

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

وَاثِقًا بِهذَا عَيْنِهِ أَنَّ الَّذِي ابْتَدَأَ فِيكُمْ عَمَلاً صَالِحًا يُكَمِّلُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

كَمَا يَحِقُّ لِي أَنْ أَفْتَكِرَ هذَا مِنْ جِهَةِ جَمِيعِكُمْ، لأَنِّي حَافِظُكُمْ فِي قَلْبِي، فِي وُثُقِي، وَفِي الْمُحَامَاةِ عَنِ الإِنْجِيلِ وَتَثْبِيتِهِ، أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ جَمِيعُكُمْ شُرَكَائِي فِي النِّعْمَةِ.

For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

فَإِنَّ اللهَ شَاهِدٌ لِي كَيْفَ أَشْتَاقُ إِلَى جَمِيعِكُمْ فِي أَحْشَاءِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

وَهذَا أُصَلِّيهِ: أَنْ تَزْدَادَ مَحَبَّتُكُمْ أَيْضًا أَكْثَرَ فَأَكْثَرَ فِي الْمَعْرِفَةِ وَفِي كُلِّ فَهْمٍ،

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;

حَتَّى تُمَيِّزُوا الأُمُورَ الْمُتَخَالِفَةَ، لِكَيْ تَكُونُوا مُخْلِصِينَ وَبِلاَ عَثْرَةٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْمَسِيحِ،

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

مَمْلُوئِينَ مِنْ ثَمَرِ الْبِرِّ الَّذِي بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ لِمَجْدِ اللهِ وَحَمْدِهِ.

But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;

ثُمَّ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْلَمُوا أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ أَنَّ أُمُورِي قَدْ آلَتْ أَكْثَرَ إِلَى تَقَدُّمِ الإِنْجِيلِ،

So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;

حَتَّى إِنَّ وُثُقِي صَارَتْ ظَاهِرَةً فِي الْمَسِيحِ فِي كُلِّ دَارِ الْوِلاَيَةِ وَفِي بَاقِي الأَمَاكِنِ أَجْمَعَ.

And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

وَأَكْثَرُ الإِخْوَةِ، وَهُمْ وَاثِقُونَ فِي الرَّبِّ بِوُثُقِي، يَجْتَرِئُونَ أَكْثَرَ عَلَى التَّكَلُّمِ بِالْكَلِمَةِ بِلاَ خَوْفٍ.

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

أَمَّا قَوْمٌ فَعَنْ حَسَدٍ وَخِصَامٍ يَكْرِزُونَ بِالْمَسِيحِ، وَأَمَّا قَوْمٌ فَعَنْ مَسَرَّةٍ.

The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

فَهؤُلاَءِ عَنْ تَحَزُّبٍ يُنَادُونَ بِالْمَسِيحِ لاَ عَنْ إِخْلاَصٍ، ظَانِّينَ أَنَّهُمْ يُضِيفُونَ إِلَى وُثُقِي ضِيقًا.

But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

وَأُولئِكَ عَنْ مَحَبَّةٍ، عَالِمِينَ أَنِّي مَوْضُوعٌ لِحِمَايَةِ الإِنْجِيلِ.

What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

فَمَاذَا؟ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ وَجْهٍ سَوَاءٌ كَانَ بِعِلَّةٍ أَمْ بِحَقّ يُنَادَى بِالْمَسِيحِ، وَبِهذَا أَنَا أَفْرَحُ. بَلْ سَأَفْرَحُ أَيْضًا.

For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

لأَنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هذَا يَؤُولُ لِي إِلَى خَلاَصٍ بِطَلْبَتِكُمْ وَمُؤَازَرَةِ رُوحِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ،

According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.

حَسَبَ انْتِظَارِي وَرَجَائِي أَنِّي لاَ أُخْزَى فِي شَيْءٍ، بَلْ بِكُلِّ مُجَاهَرَةٍ كَمَا فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، كَذلِكَ الآنَ، يَتَعَظَّمُ الْمَسِيحُ فِي جَسَدِي، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ بِحَيَاةٍ أَمْ بِمَوْتٍ.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

لأَنَّ لِيَ الْحَيَاةَ هِيَ الْمَسِيحُ وَالْمَوْتُ هُوَ رِبْحٌ.

But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

وَلكِنْ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ فِي الْجَسَدِ هِيَ لِي ثَمَرُ عَمَلِي، فَمَاذَا أَخْتَارُ؟ لَسْتُ أَدْرِي!

For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

فَإِنِّي مَحْصُورٌ مِنْ الاثْنَيْنِ: لِيَ اشْتِهَاءٌ أَنْ أَنْطَلِقَ وَأَكُونَ مَعَ الْمَسِيحِ، ذَاكَ أَفْضَلُ جِدًّا.

Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

وَلكِنْ أَنْ أَبْقَى فِي الْجَسَدِ أَلْزَمُ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ.

And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

فَإِذْ أَنَا وَاثِقٌ بِهذَا أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَمْكُثُ وَأَبْقَى مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ لأَجْلِ تَقَدُّمِكُمْ وَفَرَحِكُمْ فِي الإِيمَانِ،

That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

لِكَيْ يَزْدَادَ افْتِخَارُكُمْ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ فِيَّ، بِوَاسِطَةِ حُضُورِي أَيْضًا عِنْدَكُمْ.

Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

فَقَطْ عِيشُوا كَمَا يَحِقُّ لإِنْجِيلِ الْمَسِيحِ، حَتَّى إِذَا جِئْتُ وَرَأَيْتُكُمْ، أَوْ كُنْتُ غَائِبًا أَسْمَعُ أُمُورَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تَثْبُتُونَ فِي رُوحٍ وَاحِدٍ، مُجَاهِدِينَ مَعًا بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لإِيمَانِ الإِنْجِيلِ،

And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

غَيْرَ مُخَوَّفِينَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْمُقَاوِمِينَ، الأَمْرُ الَّذِي هُوَ لَهُمْ بَيِّنَةٌ لِلْهَلاَكِ، وَأَمَّا لَكُمْ فَلِلْخَلاَصِ، وَذلِكَ مِنَ اللهِ.

For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

لأَنَّهُ قَدْ وُهِبَ لَكُمْ لأَجْلِ الْمَسِيحِ لاَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَيْضًا أَنْ تَتَأَلَّمُوا لأَجْلِهِ.

Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

إِذْ لَكُمُ الْجِهَادُ عَيْنُهُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فِيَّ، وَالآنَ تَسْمَعُونَ فِيَّ.
