Philippians 3

1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.

1 أَخِيرًا يَا إِخْوَتِي، ٱفْرَحُوا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ. كِتَابَةُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ إِلَيْكُمْ لَيْسَتْ عَلَيَّ ثَقِيلَةً، وَأَمَّا لَكُمْ فَهِيَ مُؤَمِّنَةٌ.

2 Watch out for those dogs, those workers of evil, those mutilators of the flesh!

2 اُنْظُرُوا ٱلْكِلَابَ. ٱنْظُرُوا فَعَلَةَ ٱلشَّرِّ. ٱنْظُرُوا ٱلْقَطْعَ.

3 For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—

3 لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ ٱلْخِتَانَ، ٱلَّذِينَ نَعْبُدُ ٱللهَ بِٱلرُّوحِ، وَنَفْتَخِرُ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، وَلَا نَتَّكِلُ عَلَى ٱلْجَسَدِ.

4 though I myself could have such confidence. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more:

4 مَعَ أَنَّ لِي أَنْ أَتَّكِلَ عَلَى ٱلْجَسَدِ أَيْضًا. إِنْ ظَنَّ وَاحِدٌ آخَرُ أَنْ يَتَّكِلَ عَلَى ٱلْجَسَدِ فَأَنَا بِٱلْأَوْلَى.

5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

5 مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْخِتَانِ مَخْتُونٌ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِنِ، مِنْ جِنْسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ، عِبْرَانِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ. مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ فَرِّيسِيٌّ.

6 as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to righteousness in the law, faultless.

6 مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ: مُضْطَهِدُ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ. مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْبِرِّ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ: بِلَا لَوْمٍ.

7 But whatever was gain to me I count as loss for the sake of Christ.

7 لَكِنْ مَا كَانَ لِي رِبْحًا، فَهَذَا قَدْ حَسِبْتُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ خَسَارَةً.

8 More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ

8 بَلْ إِنِّي أَحْسِبُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَيْضًا خَسَارَةً مِنْ أَجْلِ فَضْلِ مَعْرِفَةِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبِّي، ٱلَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ خَسِرْتُ كُلَّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ، وَأَنَا أَحْسِبُهَا نُفَايَةً لِكَيْ أَرْبَحَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ،

9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith.

9 وَأُوجَدَ فِيهِ، وَلَيْسَ لِي بِرِّي ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، بَلِ ٱلَّذِي بِإِيمَانِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلْبِرُّ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱللهِ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ.

10 I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to Him in His death,

10 لِأَعْرِفَهُ، وَقُوَّةَ قِيَامَتِهِ، وَشَرِكَةَ آلَامِهِ، مُتَشَبِّهًا بِمَوْتِهِ،

11 and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

11 لَعَلِّي أَبْلُغُ إِلَى قِيَامَةِ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ.

12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

12 لَيْسَ أَنِّي قَدْ نِلْتُ أَوْ صِرْتُ كَامِلًا، وَلَكِنِّي أَسْعَى لَعَلِّي أُدْرِكُ ٱلَّذِي لِأَجْلِهِ أَدْرَكَنِي أَيْضًا ٱلْمَسِيحُ يَسُوعُ.

13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,

13 أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، أَنَا لَسْتُ أَحْسِبُ نَفْسِي أَنِّي قَدْ أَدْرَكْتُ. وَلَكِنِّي أَفْعَلُ شَيْئًا وَاحِدًا: إِذْ أَنَا أَنْسَى مَا هُوَ وَرَاءُ وَأَمْتَدُّ إِلَى مَا هُوَ قُدَّامُ،

14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.

14 أَسْعَى نَحْوَ ٱلْغَرَضِ لِأَجْلِ جَعَالَةِ دَعْوَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْعُلْيَا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

15 All of us who are mature should embrace this point of view. And if you think differently about some issue, God will reveal this to you as well.

15 فَلْيَفْتَكِرْ هَذَا جَمِيعُ ٱلْكَامِلِينَ مِنَّا، وَإِنِ ٱفْتَكَرْتُمْ شَيْئًا بِخِلَافِهِ فَٱللهُ سَيُعْلِنُ لَكُمْ هَذَا أَيْضًا.

16 Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained.

16 وَأَمَّا مَا قَدْ أَدْرَكْنَاهُ، فَلْنَسْلُكْ بِحَسَبِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْقَانُونِ عَيْنِهِ، وَنَفْتَكِرْ ذَلِكَ عَيْنَهُ.

17 Join one another in following my example, brothers, and carefully observe those who walk according to the pattern we set for you.

17 كُونُوا مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِي مَعًا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، وَلَاحِظُوا ٱلَّذِينَ يَسِيرُونَ هَكَذَا كَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَكُمْ قُدْوَةٌ.

18 For as I have often told you before, and now say again even with tears: Many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

18 لِأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ يَسِيرُونَ مِمَّنْ كُنْتُ أَذْكُرُهُمْ لَكُمْ مِرَارًا، وَٱلْآنَ أَذْكُرُهُمْ أَيْضًا بَاكِيًا، وَهُمْ أَعْدَاءُ صَلِيبِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things.

19 ٱلَّذِينَ نِهَايَتُهُمُ ٱلْهَلَاكُ، ٱلَّذِينَ إِلَهُهُمْ بَطْنُهُمْ وَمَجْدُهُمْ فِي خِزْيِهِمِ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَكِرُونَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِيَّاتِ.

20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

20 فَإِنَّ سِيرَتَنَا نَحْنُ هِيَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، ٱلَّتِي مِنْهَا أَيْضًا نَنْتَظِرُ مُخَلِّصًا هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ،

21 who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.

21 ٱلَّذِي سَيُغَيِّرُ شَكْلَ جَسَدِ تَوَاضُعِنَا لِيَكُونَ عَلَى صُورَةِ جَسَدِ مَجْدِهِ، بِحَسَبِ عَمَلِ ٱسْتِطَاعَتِهِ أَنْ يُخْضِعَ لِنَفْسِهِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ.
