Philippians 4
1 My fellow believers, I love you, and I long for you. You make me happy [MTY], and I am (proud of/pleased with) you. Dear friends, on the basis [of all that I have told you], continue to believe firmly in the Lord doing what I have just taught you.
he madīyānandamukuṭasvarūpāḥ priyatamā abhīṣṭatamā bhrātaraḥ, he mama snehapātrāḥ, yūyam itthaṁ pabhau sthirāstiṣṭhata|
2 I urge [you(sg)], Euodia, and I urge [you(sg)], Syntyche, to again have a peaceful relationship with each other, [because you both have a relationship with] the Lord.
he ivadiye he suntukhi yuvāṁ prabhau ekabhāve bhavatam etad ahaṁ prārthaye|
3 And, my faithful comrade/partner, I request that you [(sg)] help them [to again have a peaceful relationship with each other], because they have [faithfully proclaimed] the message [about Christ] together with me, [even though many people] have opposed us [(exc)]. They have faithfully proclaimed that message together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names [are] in the book [in which God has written the names of all those people who will] live [forever].
he mama satya sahakārin tvāmapi vinīya vadāmi etayorupakārastvayā kriyatāṁ yataste klīminādibhiḥ sahakāribhiḥ sārddhaṁ susaṁvādapracāraṇāya mama sāhāyyārthaṁ pariśramam akurvvatāṁ teṣāṁ sarvveṣāṁ nāmāni ca jīvanapustake likhitāni vidyante|
4 [Because you have a relationship with] the Lord, always rejoice! I’m saying it again, rejoice!
yūyaṁ prabhau sarvvadānandata| puna rvadāmi yūyam ānandata|
5 [Act in such a way that] everyone can know that you are gentle. The Lord is coming soon.
yuṣmākaṁ vinītatvaṁ sarvvamānavai rjñāyatāṁ, prabhuḥ sannidhau vidyate|
6 Do not worry about anything. Instead, in every situation, pray [to God], tell him what you need, and ask him [to help you] [DOU]. Also thank [him for what he does for you].
yūyaṁ kimapi na cintayata kintu dhanyavādayuktābhyāṁ prārthanāyāñcābhyāṁ sarvvaviṣaye svaprārthanīyam īśvarāya nivedayata|
7 As a result, God will enable you not to worry [about anything] [MTY] (OR, God will protect your minds [in every way]) [PRS]. [That is], he will cause you to have [inner] peace [because you have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. You will not be able to understand [PRS] [how you can be so peaceful in such difficult circumstances!]!
tathā kṛta īśvarīyā yā śāntiḥ sarvvāṁ buddhim atiśete sā yuṣmākaṁ cittāni manāṁsi ca khrīṣṭe yīśau rakṣiṣyati|
8 My fellow believers, there is one more thing I [want you to do]. Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is right, whatever is morally pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is admirable, whatever is good, whatever [deserves] praise, those are the things that you should continually think about.
he bhrātaraḥ, śeṣe vadāmi yadyat satyam ādaraṇīyaṁ nyāyyaṁ sādhu priyaṁ sukhyātam anyeṇa yena kenacit prakāreṇa vā guṇayuktaṁ praśaṁsanīyaṁ vā bhavati tatraiva manāṁsi nidhadhvaṁ|
9 Those things that I have taught you and that you have learned from me, those things that you have heard me [say] and that you have seen me [do], those are the things that you yourselves should continually do. As a result [of your doing those things], God, the one who [causes us to] have [inner] peace, will (be with/bless) you.
yūyaṁ māṁ dṛṣṭvā śrutvā ca yadyat śikṣitavanto gṛhītavantaśca tadevācarata tasmāt śāntidāyaka īśvaro yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ sthāsyati|
10 I rejoice greatly [and thank] the Lord because now, after some time, [by sending money to me] you have once again shown that you are concerned about me [EUP]. Indeed, you were concerned about me [all the time], but you had no opportunity [to show that you were concerned about me].
mamopakārāya yuṣmākaṁ yā cintā pūrvvam āsīt kintu karmmadvāraṁ na prāpnot idānīṁ sā punaraphalat ityasmin prabhau mama paramāhlādo'jāyata|
11 I am saying this not because I [am concerned that I] lack things [that I need]. In fact, I have learned to be content in whatever [situation] I am.
ahaṁ yad dainyakāraṇād idaṁ vadāmi tannahi yato mama yā kācid avasthā bhavet tasyāṁ santoṣṭum aśikṣayaṁ|
12 [Specifically], I know how [to be content when] I do not have what I need, and I know how [to be content when] I have plenty. I have learned how [to be content] in any and every [situation] [DOU]. [Specifically], I have learned how [to be content when] I have enough to eat, and I have learned how [to be content when] I do not have enough to eat. I have learned how [to be content when] I have plenty [DOU] [of what I need], and I have learned [how to be content when] I lack [things].
daridratāṁ bhoktuṁ śaknomi dhanāḍhyatām api bhoktuṁ śaknomi sarvvathā sarvvaviṣayeṣu vinīto'haṁ pracuratāṁ kṣudhāñca dhanaṁ dainyañcāvagato'smi|
13 I am able (to cope with/to handle) every situation because [Christ] gives me the strength to do that.
mama śaktidāyakena khrīṣṭena sarvvameva mayā śakyaṁ bhavati|
14 Nevertheless, you did very well by [helping me] (OR, [giving me money]) [EUP] while I have been suffering hardship.
kintu yuṣmābhi rdainyanivāraṇāya mām upakṛtya satkarmmākāri|
15 [My friends there at Philippi], you yourselves know that when I first [proclaimed] the message about Christ [to you], and then left there to go to Macedonia [province], you were the only group of believers [LIT] who [sent me] gifts [EUP] in order that I might [proclaim that message] to others just like I did for you.
he philipīyalokāḥ, susaṁvādasyodayakāle yadāhaṁ mākidaniyādeśāt pratiṣṭhe tadā kevalān yuṣmān vināparayā kayāpi samityā saha dānādānayo rmama ko'pi sambandho nāsīd iti yūyamapi jānītha|
16 Even [when I was] in Thessalonica [city], you sent [money] [EUP] to me two different times [IDM] in order to [supply] what I needed.
yato yuṣmābhi rmama prayojanāya thiṣalanīkīnagaramapi māṁ prati punaḥ punardānaṁ preṣitaṁ|
17 I say this, not because I desire that you give me money now. Instead, I desire that [God] will abundantly bless [MET] you as a result of [your helping me].
ahaṁ yad dānaṁ mṛgaye tannahi kintu yuṣmākaṁ lābhavarddhakaṁ phalaṁ mṛgaye|
18 But I have received a very generous [gift] [EUP] [from you], and [as a result], I have plenty. I have an abundant supply [of what I need because] I have received from Epaphroditus the money [EUP] that you [sent to me]. God considers that your gift is very acceptable, and he is very pleased with it. [Your gift is like] a nice-smelling sacrifice [MET].
kintu mama kasyāpyabhāvo nāsti sarvvaṁ pracuram āste yata īśvarasya grāhyaṁ tuṣṭijanakaṁ sugandhinaivedyasvarūpaṁ yuṣmākaṁ dānaṁ ipāphraditād gṛhītvāhaṁ paritṛpto'smi|
19 [Moreover], God, [whom] I [serve], has an unlimited supply [of everything that we(inc) need]. And as a result, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, he will completely supply everything that you need.
mameśvaro'pi khrīṣṭena yīśunā svakīyavibhavanidhitaḥ prayojanīyaṁ sarvvaviṣayaṁ pūrṇarūpaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ deyāt|
asmākaṁ piturīśvarasya dhanyavādo'nantakālaṁ yāvad bhavatu| āmen| (aiōn g165)
21 Greet [for me/us(exc)] all of God’s people [there, that is, all those who have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. The fellow believers who [serve God together] with me here send their greetings to you (OR, say they are thinking fondly of you).
yūyaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭasyaikaikaṁ pavitrajanaṁ namaskuruta| mama saṅgibhrātaro yūṣmān namaskurvvate|
22 All of God’s people [here] send their greetings to you. Especially the [fellow believers who work] in the palace of the emperor send their greetings to you.
sarvve pavitralokā viśeṣataḥ kaisarasya parijanā yuṣmān namaskurvvate|
23 My desire is [that our] Lord Jesus Christ [will continue to] act kindly toward you all [SYN].
asmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya prasādaḥ sarvvān yuṣmān prati bhūyāt| āmen|
