Philippians 2

1 Therefore if you have any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

1 فَإِنْ كَانَ وَعْظٌ مَا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ. إِنْ كَانَتْ تَسْلِيَةٌ مَا لِلْمَحَبَّةِ. إِنْ كَانَتْ شَرِكَةٌ مَا فِي ٱلرُّوحِ. إِنْ كَانَتْ أَحْشَاءٌ وَرَأْفَةٌ،

2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being united in spirit and purpose.

2 فَتَمِّمُوا فَرَحِي حَتَّى تَفْتَكِرُوا فِكْرًا وَاحِدًا وَلَكُمْ مَحَبَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، مُفْتَكِرِينَ شَيْئًا وَاحِدًا،

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.

3 لَا شَيْئًا بِتَحَزُّبٍ أَوْ بِعُجْبٍ، بَلْ بِتَوَاضُعٍ، حَاسِبِينَ بَعْضُكُمُ ٱلْبَعْضَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

4 لَا تَنْظُرُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَا هُوَ لِنَفْسِهِ، بَلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى مَا هُوَ لِآخَرِينَ أَيْضًا.

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:

5 فَلْيَكُنْ فِيكُمْ هَذَا ٱلْفِكْرُ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ أَيْضًا:

6 Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

6 ٱلَّذِي إِذْ كَانَ فِي صُورَةِ ٱللهِ، لَمْ يَحْسِبْ خُلْسَةً أَنْ يَكُونَ مُعَادِلًا لِلهِ.

7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.

7 لَكِنَّهُ أَخْلَى نَفْسَهُ، آخِذًا صُورَةَ عَبْدٍ، صَائِرًا فِي شِبْهِ ٱلنَّاسِ.

8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross.

8 وَإِذْ وُجِدَ فِي ٱلْهَيْئَةِ كَإِنْسَانٍ، وَضَعَ نَفْسَهُ، وَأَطَاعَ حَتَّى ٱلْمَوْتَ، مَوْتَ ٱلصَّلِيبِ.

9 Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names,

9 لِذَلِكَ رَفَّعَهُ ٱللهُ أَيْضًا، وَأَعْطَاهُ ٱسْمًا فَوْقَ كُلِّ ٱسْمٍ،

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

10 لِكَيْ تَجْثُوَ بِٱسْمِ يَسُوعَ كُلُّ رُكْبَةٍ مِمَّنْ فِي ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَمَنْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمَنْ تَحْتَ ٱلْأَرْضِ،

11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

11 وَيَعْتَرِفَ كُلُّ لِسَانٍ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ هُوَ رَبٌّ، لِمَجْدِ ٱللهِ ٱلْآبِ.

12 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

12 إِذًا يَا أَحِبَّائِي، كَمَا أَطَعْتُمْ كُلَّ حِينٍ، لَيْسَ كَمَا فِي حُضُورِي فَقَطْ، بَلِ ٱلْآنَ بِٱلْأَوْلَى جِدًّا فِي غِيَابِي، تَمِّمُوا خَلَاصَكُمْ بِخَوْفٍ وَرِعْدَةٍ،

13 For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose.

13 لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ هُوَ ٱلْعَامِلُ فِيكُمْ أَنْ تُرِيدُوا وَأَنْ تَعْمَلُوا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْمَسَرَّةِ.

14 Do everything without complaining or arguing,

14 اِفْعَلُوا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ بِلَا دَمْدَمَةٍ وَلَا مُجَادَلَةٍ،

15 so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world

15 لِكَيْ تَكُونُوا بِلَا لَوْمٍ، وَبُسَطَاءَ، أَوْلَادًا لِلهِ بِلَا عَيْبٍ فِي وَسَطِ جِيلٍ مُعَوَّجٍ وَمُلْتَوٍ، تُضِيئُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ كَأَنْوَارٍ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ.

16 as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.

16 مُتَمَسِّكِينَ بِكَلِمَةِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ لِٱفْتِخَارِي فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، بِأَنِّي لَمْ أَسْعَ بَاطِلًا وَلَا تَعِبْتُ بَاطِلًا.

17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

17 لَكِنَّنِي وَإِنْ كُنْتُ أَنْسَكِبُ أَيْضًا عَلَى ذَبِيحَةِ إِيمَانِكُمْ وَخِدْمَتِهِ، أُسَرُّ وَأَفْرَحُ مَعَكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ.

18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

18 وَبِهَذَا عَيْنِهِ كُونُوا أَنْتُمْ مَسْرُورِينَ أَيْضًا وَٱفْرَحُوا مَعِي.

19 Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I learn how you are doing.

19 عَلَى أَنِّي أَرْجُو فِي ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ أَنْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ سَرِيعًا تِيمُوثَاوُسَ لِكَيْ تَطِيبَ نَفْسِي إِذَا عَرَفْتُ أَحْوَالَكُمْ.

20 I have nobody else like him who will genuinely care for your needs.

20 لِأَنْ لَيْسَ لِي أَحَدٌ آخَرُ نَظِيرُ نَفْسِي يَهْتَمُّ بِأَحْوَالِكُمْ بِإِخْلَاصٍ،

21 For all the others look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

21 إِذِ ٱلْجَمِيعُ يَطْلُبُونَ مَا هُوَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ لَا مَا هُوَ لِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

22 But you know Timothy’s proven worth, that as a child with his father he has served with me to advance the gospel.

22 وَأَمَّا ٱخْتِبَارُهُ فَأَنْتُمْ تَعْرِفُونَ أَنَّهُ كَوَلَدٍ مَعَ أَبٍ خَدَمَ مَعِي لِأَجْلِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ.

23 So I hope to send him as soon as I see what happens with me.

23 هَذَا أَرْجُو أَنْ أُرْسِلَهُ أَوَّلَ مَا أَرَى أَحْوَالِي حَالًا.

24 And I trust in the Lord that I myself will come soon.

24 وَأَثِقُ بِٱلرَّبِّ أَنِّي أَنَا أَيْضًا سَآتِي إِلَيْكُمْ سَرِيعًا.

25 But I thought it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my needs.

25 وَلَكِنِّي حَسِبْتُ مِنَ ٱللَّازِمِ أَنْ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ أَبَفْرُودِتُسَ أَخِي، وَٱلْعَامِلَ مَعِي، وَٱلْمُتَجَنِّدَ مَعِي، وَرَسُولَكُمْ، وَٱلْخَادِمَ لِحَاجَتِي.

26 For he has been longing for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill.

26 إِذْ كَانَ مُشْتَاقًا إِلَى جَمِيعِكُمْ وَمَغْمُومًا، لِأَنَّكُمْ سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَرِيضًا.

27 He was sick indeed, nearly unto death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.

27 فَإِنَّهُ مَرِضَ قَرِيبًا مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ، لَكِنَّ ٱللهَ رَحِمَهُ. وَلَيْسَ إِيَّاهُ وَحْدَهُ بَلْ إِيَّايَ أَيْضًا لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِي حُزْنٌ عَلَى حُزْنٍ.

28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious.

28 فَأَرْسَلْتُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِأَوْفَرِ سُرْعَةٍ، حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ تَفْرَحُونَ أَيْضًا وَأَكُونُ أَنَا أَقَلَّ حُزْنًا.

29 Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him,

29 فَٱقْبَلُوهُ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ بِكُلِّ فَرَحٍ، وَلْيَكُنْ مِثْلُهُ مُكَرَّمًا عِنْدَكُمْ.

30 because he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for your deficit of service to me.

30 لِأَنَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ عَمَلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ قَارَبَ ٱلْمَوْتَ، مُخَاطِرًا بِنَفْسِهِ، لِكَيْ يَجْبُرَ نُقْصَانَ خِدْمَتِكُمْ لِي.
