Philippians 1

1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:

1 بُولُسُ وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ عَبْدَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، ٱلَّذِينَ فِي فِيلِبِّي، مَعَ أَسَاقِفَةٍ وَشَمَامِسَةٍ:

2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

3 I thank my God every time I remember you.

3 أَشْكُرُ إِلَهِي عِنْدَ كُلِّ ذِكْرِي إِيَّاكُمْ

4 In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy,

4 دَائِمًا فِي كُلِّ أَدْعِيَتِي، مُقَدِّمًا ٱلطَّلْبَةَ لِأَجْلِ جَمِيعِكُمْ بِفَرَحٍ،

5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,

5 لِسَبَبِ مُشَارَكَتِكُمْ فِي ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ إِلَى ٱلْآنَ.

6 being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

6 وَاثِقًا بِهَذَا عَيْنِهِ أَنَّ ٱلَّذِي ٱبْتَدَأَ فِيكُمْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا يُكَمِّلُ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart. For in my chains and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are all partners in grace with me.

7 كَمَا يَحِقُّ لِي أَنْ أَفْتَكِرَ هَذَا مِنْ جِهَةِ جَمِيعِكُمْ، لِأَنِّي حَافِظُكُمْ فِي قَلْبِي، فِي وُثُقِي، وَفِي ٱلْمُحَامَاةِ عَنِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ وَتَثْبِيتِهِ، أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ جَمِيعُكُمْ شُرَكَائِي فِي ٱلنِّعْمَةِ.

8 God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

8 فَإِنَّ ٱللهَ شَاهِدٌ لِي كَيْفَ أَشْتَاقُ إِلَى جَمِيعِكُمْ فِي أَحْشَاءِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,

9 وَهَذَا أُصَلِّيهِ: أَنْ تَزْدَادَ مَحَبَّتُكُمْ أَيْضًا أَكْثَرَ فَأَكْثَرَ فِي ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ وَفِي كُلِّ فَهْمٍ،

10 so that you may be able to test and prove what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

10 حَتَّى تُمَيِّزُوا ٱلْأُمُورَ ٱلْمُتَخَالِفَةَ، لِكَيْ تَكُونُوا مُخْلِصِينَ وَبِلَا عَثْرَةٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

11 مَمْلُوئِينَ مِنْ ثَمَرِ ٱلْبِرِّ ٱلَّذِي بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، لِمَجْدِ ٱللهِ وَحَمْدِهِ.

12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.

12 ثُمَّ أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَعْلَمُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ أَنَّ أُمُورِي قَدْ آلَتْ أَكْثَرَ إِلَى تَقَدُّمِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ،

13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.

13 حَتَّى إِنَّ وُثُقِي صَارَتْ ظَاهِرَةً فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ فِي كُلِّ دَارِ ٱلْوِلَايَةِ وَفِي بَاقِي ٱلْأَمَاكِنِ أَجْمَعَ.

14 And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.

14 وَأَكْثَرُ ٱلْإِخْوَةِ، وَهُمْ وَاثِقُونَ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ بِوُثُقِي، يَجْتَرِئُونَ أَكْثَرَ عَلَى ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِٱلْكَلِمَةِ بِلَا خَوْفٍ.

15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.

15 أَمَّا قَوْمٌ فَعَنْ حَسَدٍ وَخِصَامٍ يَكْرِزُونَ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَأَمَّا قَوْمٌ فَعَنْ مَسَرَّةٍ.

16 The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.

16 فَهَؤُلَاءِ عَنْ تَحَزُّبٍ يُنَادُونَ بِٱلْمَسِيحِ لَا عَنْ إِخْلَاصٍ، ظَانِّينَ أَنَّهُمْ يُضِيفُونَ إِلَى وُثُقِي ضِيقًا.

17 The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.

17 وَأُولَئِكَ عَنْ مَحَبَّةٍ، عَالِمِينَ أَنِّي مَوْضُوعٌ لِحِمَايَةِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ.

18 What then is the issue? Just this: that in every way, whether by false motives or true, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,

18 فَمَاذَا؟ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ وَجْهٍ سَوَاءٌ كَانَ بِعِلَّةٍ أَمْ بِحَقٍّ يُنَادَى بِٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَبِهَذَا أَنَا أَفْرَحُ. بَلْ سَأَفْرَحُ أَيْضًا.

19 because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance.

19 لِأَنِّي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا يَؤُولُ لِي إِلَى خَلَاصٍ بِطَلْبَتِكُمْ وَمُؤَازَرَةِ رُوحِ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

20 حَسَبَ ٱنْتِظَارِي وَرَجَائِي أَنِّي لَا أُخْزَى فِي شَيْءٍ، بَلْ بِكُلِّ مُجَاهَرَةٍ كَمَا فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ، كَذَلِكَ ٱلْآنَ، يَتَعَظَّمُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ فِي جَسَدِي، سَوَاءٌ كَانَ بِحَيَاةٍ أَمْ بِمَوْتٍ.

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

21 لِأَنَّ لِيَ ٱلْحَيَاةَ هِيَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ وَٱلْمَوْتُ هُوَ رِبْحٌ.

22 But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know.

22 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَتِ ٱلْحَيَاةُ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ هِيَ لِي ثَمَرُ عَمَلِي، فَمَاذَا أَخْتَارُ؟ لَسْتُ أَدْرِي!

23 I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.

23 فَإِنِّي مَحْصُورٌ مِنْ ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ: لِيَ ٱشْتِهَاءٌ أَنْ أَنْطَلِقَ وَأَكُونَ مَعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ذَاكَ أَفْضَلُ جِدًّا.

24 But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

24 وَلَكِنْ أَنْ أَبْقَى فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ أَلْزَمُ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ.

25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

25 فَإِذْ أَنَا وَاثِقٌ بِهَذَا أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَمْكُثُ وَأَبْقَى مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ لِأَجْلِ تَقَدُّمِكُمْ وَفَرَحِكُمْ فِي ٱلْإِيمَانِ،

26 so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.

26 لِكَيْ يَزْدَادَ ٱفْتِخَارُكُمْ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ فِيَّ، بِوَاسِطَةِ حُضُورِي أَيْضًا عِنْدَكُمْ.

27 Nevertheless, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending together as one for the faith of the gospel,

27 فَقَطْ عِيشُوا كَمَا يَحِقُّ لِإِنْجِيلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، حَتَّى إِذَا جِئْتُ وَرَأَيْتُكُمْ، أَوْ كُنْتُ غَائِبًا أَسْمَعُ أُمُورَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تَثْبُتُونَ فِي رُوحٍ وَاحِدٍ، مُجَاهِدِينَ مَعًا بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لِإِيمَانِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ،

28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a clear sign of their destruction but of your salvation, and it is from God.

28 غَيْرَ مُخَوَّفِينَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَاوِمِينَ، ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ لَهُمْ بَيِّنَةٌ لِلْهَلَاكِ، وَأَمَّا لَكُمْ فَلِلْخَلَاصِ، وَذَلِكَ مِنَ ٱللهِ.

29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,

29 لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ وُهِبَ لَكُمْ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ لَا أَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ فَقَطْ، بَلْ أَيْضًا أَنْ تَتَأَلَّمُوا لِأَجْلِهِ.

30 since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.

30 إِذْ لَكُمُ ٱلْجِهَادُ عَيْنُهُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فِيَّ، وَٱلْآنَ تَسْمَعُونَ فِيَّ.
