< Philippians 4 >

1 So stand firm in the Lord, my dear friends who mean so much to me, who make me so happy! To me you are my crowning achievement! I truly love you and long to see you!
ⲁ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϯⲟⲩⲁϣⲟⲩ. ⲡⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲕⲗⲟⲙ. ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲙⲉⲣⲁⲧⲉ.
2 Euodia and Syntyche—I urge you to resolve your differences with each other and agree in the Lord.
ⲃ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲉⲩϩⲟⲇⲓⲁ. ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲥⲩⲛⲧⲩⲭⲏ. ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
3 In fact, my faithful fellow-worker, let me ask you to help these women, for they worked together with me to spread the good news—as well as Clement and my other co-workers, whose names are recorded in the book of life.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲟ ϯⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲥⲩⲍⲩⲅⲉ ⲡϩⲁⲕ ϯⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲕⲉⲕⲗⲏⲙⲏⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲁⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲃⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲩⲣⲁⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲱⲛϩ̅·
4 Always be happy in the Lord—I repeat, Be happy!
ⲇ̅ⲣⲁϣⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϯϫⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲣⲁϣⲉ.
5 Everyone should know about your kindness. The Lord will soon be here.
ⲉ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧϩⲁⲕ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ
6 Don't worry about anything, but take everything to God in prayer, explaining your requests to him and thanking him for all he does.
ⲋ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ϥⲓⲣⲟⲟⲩϣ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅. ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲓⲧⲏⲙⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
7 Then the peace that comes from God, which is better than we can ever imagine, will protect your thoughts and attitudes in Christ Jesus.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ ⲉⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛⲁϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅·
8 Lastly, whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, beautiful, commendable, whatever is truly good and deserves to be praised, think about these kinds of things.
ⲏ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ. ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉ. ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲙⲛⲟⲛ. ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲛ. ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ. ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲏ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲟ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ.
9 Put into practice what you learned and received from me, what you saw me doing and heard me say. Then the God of peace will be with you.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲃⲟ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲧⲟⲩ. ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲧⲙⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲏⲧ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲣⲓⲥⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅·
10 I'm so happy in the Lord that you've at last thought about me again—realizing that you were concerned about me before but you couldn't do anything about it.
ⲓ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲙⲁⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲟⲧ ⲉⲣ̅ⲡⲁⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϭⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲇⲉ.
11 I'm not talking about my own needs, because I've already learned to be satisfied in whatever situation I find myself.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲱⲧ. ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉϯⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲣⲱϣⲉ.
12 I'm used to having nothing, and I've experienced having plenty too. In every possible situation I've learned the secret of dealing with having plenty and going hungry, of being rich and of living in poverty:
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲑⲃ̅ⲃⲓⲟ. ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ. ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ϯϫⲟⲛⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲉⲥⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲕⲟ. ⲉⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉϣⲱⲱⲧ.
13 I can do anything through him who makes me strong!
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϯϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϯϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲁⲓ̈.
14 Even so it was good of you to share with me during my troubles.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲗⲏⲛ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲁⲁⲥ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲉⲓ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲁⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ.
15 You Philippians remember that right at the beginning of sharing the good news, when I left Macedonia, that yours was the only church that helped me financially.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲛⲉⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲏⲥⲓⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲣⲭⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲓⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱ(ⲛⲉⲓ) ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϯ ϩⲓϫⲓ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲟⲩⲁⲁⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
16 Even when I was in Thessalonica you helped me out not once but twice.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲉⲥⲥⲁⲗⲟⲛⲓⲕⲏ. ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲁⲭⲣⲓⲁ.
17 Not that I'm looking for a donation—I'm looking for your “account” to increase in “profit.”
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲭ ⲟⲧⲉⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡϯ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲓ̈ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲟϣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ.
18 For I have everything, more than I need! I'm thankful to receive from Epaphroditus the things you sent. They're like a sweet-smelling sacrifice that pleases God and that he approves of.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ϯⲙⲉϩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ. ⲁⲓ̈ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲉⲁⲓ̈ϫⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲡⲁⲫⲣⲟⲇⲓⲧⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥⲟⲩ. ⲟⲩⲥϯⲛⲟⲩϥⲉ. ⲟⲩⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉⲥϣⲏⲡ ⲉⲥⲣ̅ⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
19 My God will fill you with everything you need in accordance with his glorious wealth in Christ Jesus!
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲭⲣⲓⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
20 Glory be to God the Father, forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ⲕ̅ⲡⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲓⲉⲛⲉϩ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ· (aiōn g165)
21 Greet every fellow-believer in Christ Jesus. The Christian brothers and sisters with me send their greetings.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅· ⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲓ̈·
22 All the believers send you greetings, especially those from Caesar's palace.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲥⲉϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲏⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣⲟ.
23 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅· ·ⲧⲉⲡⲣⲟⲥ· ·ⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲏⲥⲓⲟⲩⲥ·
