1 ف َيا إخْوَتِي الَّذِينَ أُحِبُّهُمْ وَأشتاقُ إلَيْهِمْ، أنتُمْ سَعادَتِي وَمَصدَرُ فَخرِي. اثبُتُوا فِي الرَّبِّ أيُّها الأحِبّاءُ كَما تَفْعَلونَ الآنَ بِالفِعلِ.

So, my dear Christian brothers, you are my joy and crown. I want to see you. Keep on staying true to the Lord, my dear friends.

2 أ نا أحُثُّ أفُودِيَّةَ وَسَنتِيخِي أنْ تَكُونا عَلَى اتِّفاقٍ كَأُختَينِ فِي الرَّبِّ.

I ask Euodias and Syntyche to agree as Christians should.

3 ك َما أطلُبُ مِنكَ يا شَرِيكِيَ الوَفِيَّ أنْ تُساعِدَ هاتَينِ المَرأتَينِ اللَّتَينِ جاهَدَتا مَعِي فِي نَشرِ البِشارَةِ مَعَ أْكلِيمَنْدُسَ وَباقِي شُرَكائِي المَكْتُوبَةُ أسماؤُهُمْ فِي كِتابِ الحَياةِ.

My true helper, I ask you to help these women who have worked with me so much in preaching the Good News to others. Clement helped also. There are others who worked with me. Their names are in the book of life.

4 ا فْرَحُواَ فِي الرَّبِّ كُلَّ حِينٍ، وَأقُولُهُا ثانِيَةً: افرَحُوا!

Be full of joy always because you belong to the Lord. Again I say, be full of joy!

5 أ ُرِيدُ أنْ يَشهَدَ كُلُّ النّاسِ عَنْ لُطفِكُمْ. تَذَكَّرُوا أنَّ الرَّبَّ قَرِيبٌ.

Let all people see how gentle you are. The Lord is coming again soon.

6 ف َلا تَقلَقُوا، بَلْ فِي كُلِّ ظَرفٍ، أعلِنُوا للهِ طِلباتِكُمْ، بِالصَّلاةِ وَالتَّضَرُّعِ مَعَ الشُّكرِ.

Do not worry. Learn to pray about everything. Give thanks to God as you ask Him for what you need.

7 ف َسَلامُ اللهِ الَّذي يَفوقُ كُلَّ عَقلٍ، سَيَحفَظُ قُلُوبَكُمْ وَعُقُولَكُمْ فِي يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ.

The peace of God is much greater than the human mind can understand. This peace will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 و َفِي الخِتامِ أيُّها الأحِبّاءُ، املأُوا عُقُولَكُمْ بِكُلِّ ما هُوَ حَقٌّ، وَكُلِّ ما هُوَ نَبِيلٌ، وَكُلِّ ما هُوَ قَوِيمٌ، وَكُلِّ ما هُوَ طاهِرٌ، وَكُلِّ ما هُوَ جَمِيلٌ، وَكُلِّ ما هُوَ جَدِيرٌ بِالمَديحِ، وَكُلِّ ما هُوَ فاضِلٌ، وَكُلِّ ما هُوَ مَمدُوحٌ.

Christian brothers, keep your minds thinking about whatever is true, whatever is respected, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever can be loved, and whatever is well thought of. If there is anything good and worth giving thanks for, think about these things.

9 و َاعْمَلُوا دائِماً بِكُلِّ ما تَعَلَّمتُمُوهُ، وَتَسَلَّمتُمُوهُ وَسَمِعتُمُوهُ وَرَأيتُمُوهُ فِيَّ. وَاللهُ الَّذِي هُوَ مَصدَرُ السَّلامِ يَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ. بُولُسُ يَشكُرُ مُؤمِنِي فِيلِبِّي

Keep on doing all the things you learned and received and heard from me. Do the things you saw me do. Then the God Who gives peace will be with you.

10 ك َمْ سَعِدتُ فِي الرَّبِّ لِأنَّكُمْ أخِيراً جَدَّدتُمُ اهتِمامَكُمْ بِي، وَأنا أعرِفُ أنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ مُهتَمِّينَ بِي عَلَى الدَّوامِ، لَكِنْ لَمْ تَسنَحْ لَكُمْ فُرصَةٌ لإظهارِ ذَلِكَ.

The Lord gives me a reason to be full of joy. It is because you are able to care for me again. I know you wanted to before but you did not have a way to help me.

11 و َأنا لا أقُولُ هَذا عَنْ حاجَةٍ، فَقَدْ تَعَلَّمتُ أنْ أكُونَ مُكتَفِياً بِما عِندِي.

I am not saying I need anything. I have learned to be happy with whatever I have.

12 ف َأنا أعرِفُ كَيفَ أعِيشُ وَقتَ الحاجَةِ، وَوَقتَ الوَفرَةِ. فَفِي كُلِّ وَقتٍ، وَفِي كُلِّ ظَرفٍ، تَدَرَّبتُ أنْ أرْضى فِي الشَّبَعِ وَالجُوعِ.

I know how to get along with little and how to live when I have much. I have learned the secret of being happy at all times. If I am full of food and have all I need, I am happy. If I am hungry and need more, I am happy.

13 أ ستَطِيعُ أنْ أُواجِهَ كُلَّ الظُّرُوفِ بِالمَسِيحِ الَّذِي يُقَوِّينِي.

I can do all things because Christ gives me the strength.

14 غ َيرَ أنَّكُمْ أحسَنتُمْ صُنعاً حِينَ سانَدتُمُونِي فِي وَقتِ ضِيقِي.

It was kind of you to help me when I was in trouble.

15 و َأنتُمْ تَعرِفُونَ أيُّها الفِلِيبِّيُّونَ أنَّكُمُ الوَحِيدُونَ مِنْ بَينِ الكَنائِسِ الَّذِينَ اشتَرَكتُمْ مَعِي فِي مَسألَةِ العَطاءِ وَالأخذِ. وَقَدْ بَدَأ هَذا مُنذُ الأيّامِ الأُولَى لإعلانِ البِشارَةِ عِندَما غادَرتُ مَكدُونِيَّةَ.

You Philippians also know that when I first preached the Good News, you were the only church that helped me. It was when I left for the country of Macedonia.

16 ف َحَتَّى عِندَما كُنتُ فِي تَسالُونِيكِي، أرسَلتُمْ إلَيَّ عِدَّةَ مَرّاتٍ ما يُعِينُنِي عَلَى سَدادِ حاجَتِي.

Even while I was in the city of Thessalonica you helped me more than once.

17 ل ا أقُولُ هَذا لِأنِّي أهتَمُّ بِالعَطايا، بَلْ بِالرِّبحِ المُضافِ إلَى حِسابِكُمْ نَتِيجَةَ عَطائِكُمْ.

It is not that I want to receive the gift. I want you to get the pay that is coming to you later.

18 أ مّا الآنَ فَقَدْ سَدَدتُمُ احتِياجاتِي كامِلَةً وَأكثَرَ. إذْ لَدَيَّ أكثَرُ مِمّا أحتاجُ، حَيثُ إنِّي استَلَمتُ مِنْ أبَفرُودِتْسَ العَطايا الَّتِي أرسَلتُمُوها لِي. وَهِيَ قُربانٌ، ذَبِيحَةٌ مَقبُولَةٌ، مَرضِيَّةٌ للهِ.

I have everything I need and more than enough. I am taken care of because Epaphroditus brought your gift. It is a sweet gift. It is a gift that cost you something. It is the kind of gift God is so pleased with.

19 و َسَيَسُدُّ إلَهِي كُلَّ احتِياجاتِكُمْ حَسَبَ غِناهُ المَجِيدِ فِي المَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

And my God will give you everything you need because of His great riches in Christ Jesus.

20 ا لمَجدُ لإلَهِنا وَأبِينا إلَى أبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِين.

Now may our God and Father be honored forever. Let it be so.

21 س َلِّمُوا عَلَى كُلِّ مُؤمِنٍ مُقَدَّسٍ فِي المَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيكُمُ الإخوَةُ الَّذِينَ مَعِي.

Greet all those who belong to Christ Jesus. The Christian brothers here with me greet you.

22 و َكُلُّ المُؤمِنِينَ المُقَدَّسِينَ هُنا يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيكُمْ، خاصَّةً الَّذينَ مِنْ بَيتِ القَيصَرِ.

All those who belong to Christ say hello, and most of all, those who live in Caesar’s house.

23 ل ِتَكُنْ نِعمَةُ رَبِّنا يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ مَعَ كُلِّ واحِدٍ مِنكُمْ.

May your spirit have the loving-favor of the Lord Jesus Christ.
