< Philippians 2 >

1 If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
ܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܒܘܝܐܐ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܐܢ ܡܡܠܐ ܒܠܒܐ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܘܐܢ ܫܘܬܦܘܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܘܐܢ ܪܘܚܦܐ ܘܪܚܡܐ
2 make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
ܫܠܡܘ ܚܕܘܬܝ ܕܚܕ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܚܕ ܚܘܒܐ ܘܚܕܐ ܢܦܫ ܘܚܕܐ ܬܪܥܝܬܐ
3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
ܘܡܕܡ ܒܚܪܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܒܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܤܪܝܩܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܒܡܟܝܟܘܬ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܟܠܢܫ ܠܚܒܪܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܝܬܪ ܡܢܗ ܢܚܫܘܒ
4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܢܐܨܦ ܐܠܐ ܟܠܢܫ ܐܦ ܕܚܒܪܗ
5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
ܘܗܕܐ ܐܬܪܥܘ ܒܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܗܝ ܕܐܦ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
6 who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
ܗܘ ܕܟܕ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܚܛܘܦܝܐ ܚܫܒܗ ܗܕܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܦܚܡܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
ܐܠܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܤܪܩ ܘܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܥܒܕܐ ܢܤܒ ܘܗܘܐ ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܒܐܤܟܡܐ ܐܫܬܟܚ ܐܝܟ ܒܪܢܫܐ
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
ܘܡܟܟ ܢܦܫܗ ܘܐܫܬܡܥ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܙܩܝܦܐ
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܤܓܝ ܪܡܪܡܗ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܫܡܐ ܕܡܝܬܪ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܫܡܗܝܢ
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
ܕܒܫܡܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܟܠ ܒܪܘܟ ܬܟܘܦ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܕܠܬܚܬ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
ܘܟܠ ܠܫܢ ܢܘܕܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܗܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ
12 So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
ܡܟܝܠ ܚܒܝܒܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܐܫܬܡܥܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܟܕ ܩܪܝܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܠܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܪܚܝܩ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܒܕܚܠܬܐ ܘܒܪܬܝܬܐ ܦܠܘܚܘ ܦܘܠܚܢܐ ܕܚܝܝܟܘܢ
13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܚܦܛ ܒܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܠܡܨܒܐ ܐܦ ܠܡܤܥܪ ܗܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
14 Do all things without complaining and arguing,
ܟܠܡܕܡ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܪܛܢܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܦܘܠܓ
15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܬܡܝܡܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܡܘܡ ܐܝܟ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܟܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܒܕܪܐ ܥܤܩܐ ܘܡܥܩܡܐ ܘܐܬܚܙܘ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܢܗܝܪܐ ܒܥܠܡܐ
16 holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.
ܕܐܝܬܝܟܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܕܘܟܬ ܚܝܐ ܠܫܘܒܗܪܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܒܝܘܡܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܩܐ ܪܗܛܬ ܘܠܐ ܤܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܥܡܠܬ
17 Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
ܐܠܐ ܐܦܢ ܡܬܢܩܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܕܒܚܬܐ ܘܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܚܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܪܘܙ ܐܢܐ ܥܡ ܟܠܟܘܢ
18 In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܕܘ ܘܪܘܙܘ ܥܡܝ
19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.
ܡܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܫܕܪ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܒܥܓܠ ܕܐܦ ܠܝ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܢܝܚܐ ܟܕ ܐܠܦ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ
20 For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
ܠܝܬ ܠܝ ܓܝܪ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܗܪܟܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܢܦܫܝ ܗܘ ܕܐܟܝܦܐܝܬ ܝܨܦ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ
21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܗܘ ܒܥܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
22 But you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.
ܒܘܩܝܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܗܢܐ ܝܕܥܝܬܘܢ ܕܐܝܟ ܒܪܐ ܥܡ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܗܟܢܐ ܦܠܚ ܥܡܝ ܒܤܒܪܬܐ
23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
ܠܗܢܐ ܡܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܫܕܪ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܒܥܓܠ ܡܐ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܡܐ ܕܠܘܬܝ
24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
ܘܬܟܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܡܪܝ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܒܥܓܠ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ
25 But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,
ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܠܨܬܢܝ ܨܒܘܬܐ ܕܐܫܕܪ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܐܦܦܪܘܕܝܛܤ ܐܚܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܥܕܪܢܐ ܘܦܠܚܐ ܕܥܡܝ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܕܚܫܚܬܝ
26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.
ܡܛܠ ܕܤܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܠܟܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܥܩ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܕܥ ܕܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܕܐܬܟܪܗ
27 For indeed he was sick nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
ܐܦ ܐܬܟܪܗ ܓܝܪ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܪܚܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܥܠܝ ܕܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܥܩܐ ܥܠ ܥܩܐ
28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
ܚܦܝܛܐܝܬ ܗܟܝܠ ܫܕܪܬܗ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܟܕ ܬܚܙܘܢܝܗܝ ܬܘܒ ܬܚܕܘܢ ܘܠܝ ܩܠܝܠ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܦܐܫܐ
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,
ܩܒܠܘܗܝ ܗܟܝܠ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܒܟܠ ܚܕܘܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܐܝܩܪܐ ܐܚܘܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ
30 because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
ܡܛܠ ܥܒܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܡܛܝ ܘܒܤܪ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܕܢܡܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܒܨܪܬܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܐ ܕܠܘܬܝ
