فِيلِبِّي 3

١ 1 أَخِيرًا يَا إِخْوَتِي، ٱفْرَحُوا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ. كِتَابَةُ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورِ إِلَيْكُمْ لَيْسَتْ عَلَيَّ ثَقِيلَةً، وَأَمَّا لَكُمْ فَهِيَ مُؤَمِّنَةٌ.

Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. For me to write these same things again to you is no trouble for me, and it keeps you safe.

٢ 2 اُنْظُرُوا ٱلْكِلَابَ. ٱنْظُرُوا فَعَلَةَ ٱلشَّرِّ. ٱنْظُرُوا ٱلْقَطْعَ.

Watch out for the dogs, those evil workers, those who mutilate the flesh.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ ٱلْخِتَانَ، ٱلَّذِينَ نَعْبُدُ ٱللهَ بِٱلرُّوحِ، وَنَفْتَخِرُ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، وَلَا نَتَّكِلُ عَلَى ٱلْجَسَدِ.

For it is we who are the circumcision. It is we who worship by the Spirit of God. It is we who take pride in Christ Jesus, and who have no confidence in the flesh.

٤ 4 مَعَ أَنَّ لِي أَنْ أَتَّكِلَ عَلَى ٱلْجَسَدِ أَيْضًا. إِنْ ظَنَّ وَاحِدٌ آخَرُ أَنْ يَتَّكِلَ عَلَى ٱلْجَسَدِ فَأَنَا بِٱلْأَوْلَى.

Even so, I myself could have confidence in the flesh. If anyone thinks he has confidence in the flesh, I could have even more.

٥ 5 مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْخِتَانِ مَخْتُونٌ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِنِ، مِنْ جِنْسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، مِنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ، عِبْرَانِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلْعِبْرَانِيِّينَ. مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلنَّامُوسِ فَرِّيسِيٌّ.

I was circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; with regard to the law, a Pharisee.

٦ 6 مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْغَيْرَةِ: مُضْطَهِدُ ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ. مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْبِرِّ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلنَّامُوسِ: بِلَا لَوْمٍ.

As for zeal, I persecuted the church; as for righteousness under the law, I was blameless.

٧ 7 لَكِنْ مَا كَانَ لِي رِبْحًا، فَهَذَا قَدْ حَسِبْتُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ خَسَارَةً.

But whatever things were a profit for me, I have considered them as loss because of Christ.

٨ 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،

In fact, now I count all things to be loss because of the surpassing value of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. For him I have given up all things—and I consider them rubbish—so that I may gain Christ

٩ 9 وَأُوجَدَ فِيهِ، وَلَيْسَ لِي بِرِّي ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ، بَلِ ٱلَّذِي بِإِيمَانِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، ٱلْبِرُّ ٱلَّذِي مِنَ ٱللهِ بِٱلْإِيمَانِ.

and be found in him. I do not have a righteousness of my own from the law. Instead, I have the righteousness that is through faith in Christ, the righteousness that is from God based on faith.

١٠ 10 لِأَعْرِفَهُ، وَقُوَّةَ قِيَامَتِهِ، وَشَرِكَةَ آلَامِهِ، مُتَشَبِّهًا بِمَوْتِهِ،

So now I want to know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings. I want to be transformed into the likeness of his death,

١١ 11 لَعَلِّي أَبْلُغُ إِلَى قِيَامَةِ ٱلْأَمْوَاتِ.

so somehow I may experience the resurrection from the dead.

١٢ 12 لَيْسَ أَنِّي قَدْ نِلْتُ أَوْ صِرْتُ كَامِلًا، وَلَكِنِّي أَسْعَى لَعَلِّي أُدْرِكُ ٱلَّذِي لِأَجْلِهِ أَدْرَكَنِي أَيْضًا ٱلْمَسِيحُ يَسُوعُ.

It is not true that I have already received these things, or that I have become complete. But I press on in order that I may grasp that for which I was grasped by Christ Jesus.

١٣ 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،

Brothers, I do not think that I myself have yet grasped it. But there is one thing: I forget what is behind and strain for what is ahead.

١٤ 14 أَسْعَى نَحْوَ ٱلْغَرَضِ لِأَجْلِ جَعَالَةِ دَعْوَةِ ٱللهِ ٱلْعُلْيَا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

I press on toward the goal to win the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.

١٥ 15 فَلْيَفْتَكِرْ هَذَا جَمِيعُ ٱلْكَامِلِينَ مِنَّا، وَإِنِ ٱفْتَكَرْتُمْ شَيْئًا بِخِلَافِهِ فَٱللهُ سَيُعْلِنُ لَكُمْ هَذَا أَيْضًا.

All of us who are mature, let us think this way; and if you think differently about anything, God will also reveal that to you.

١٦ 16 وَأَمَّا مَا قَدْ أَدْرَكْنَاهُ، فَلْنَسْلُكْ بِحَسَبِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْقَانُونِ عَيْنِهِ، وَنَفْتَكِرْ ذَلِكَ عَيْنَهُ.

However, whatever we have reached, let us hold on to it.

١٧ 17 كُونُوا مُتَمَثِّلِينَ بِي مَعًا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، وَلَاحِظُوا ٱلَّذِينَ يَسِيرُونَ هَكَذَا كَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَكُمْ قُدْوَةٌ.

Be imitators of me, brothers. Closely watch those who are walking by the example that you have in us.

١٨ 18 لِأَنَّ كَثِيرِينَ يَسِيرُونَ مِمَّنْ كُنْتُ أَذْكُرُهُمْ لَكُمْ مِرَارًا، وَٱلْآنَ أَذْكُرُهُمْ أَيْضًا بَاكِيًا، وَهُمْ أَعْدَاءُ صَلِيبِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ،

Many are walking—those about whom I have often told you, and now I am telling you with tears—as enemies of the cross of Christ.

١٩ 19 ٱلَّذِينَ نِهَايَتُهُمُ ٱلْهَلَاكُ، ٱلَّذِينَ إِلَهُهُمْ بَطْنُهُمْ وَمَجْدُهُمْ فِي خِزْيِهِمِ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَكِرُونَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِيَّاتِ.

Their end is destruction. For their god is their stomach, and their pride is in their shame. They think about earthly things.

٢٠ 20 فَإِنَّ سِيرَتَنَا نَحْنُ هِيَ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، ٱلَّتِي مِنْهَا أَيْضًا نَنْتَظِرُ مُخَلِّصًا هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ يَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ،

But our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

٢١ 21 ٱلَّذِي سَيُغَيِّرُ شَكْلَ جَسَدِ تَوَاضُعِنَا لِيَكُونَ عَلَى صُورَةِ جَسَدِ مَجْدِهِ، بِحَسَبِ عَمَلِ ٱسْتِطَاعَتِهِ أَنْ يُخْضِعَ لِنَفْسِهِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ.

He will transform our lowly bodies into bodies formed like his glorious body, formed by the might of his power to subject all things to himself.
