Philippians 3

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Finally, brothers, I wish you joy in the Lord. To write to you what I have already written before is notrouble to me and to you will be a protection.	1 اخيرا يا اخوتي افرحوا في الرب. كتابة هذه الامور اليكم ليست عليّ ثقيلة واما لكم فهي مؤمّنة.
2 Beware of dogs! Beware of evil workmen! Beware of self-mutilators!	2 انظروا الكلاب انظروا فعلة الشر انظروا القطع.
3 We are the true people of the circumcision since we worship by the Spirit of God and make Christ Jesusour only boast, not relying on physical qualifications,	3 لاننا نحن الختان الذين نعبد الله بالروح ونفتخر في المسيح يسوع ولا نتكل على الجسد.
4 although, I myself could rely on these too. If anyone does claim to rely on them, my claim is better.	4 مع ان لي ان اتكل على الجسد ايضا. ان ظن واحد آخر ان يتكل على الجسد فانا بالأولى.
5 Circumcised on the eighth day of my life, I was born of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, aHebrew born of Hebrew parents. In the matter of the Law, I was a Pharisee;	5 من جهة الختان مختون في اليوم الثامن من جنس اسرائيل من سبط بنيامين عبراني من العبرانيين. من جهة الناموس فريسي.
6 as for religious fervour, I was a persecutor of the Church; as for the uprightness embodied in the Law, Iwas faultless.	6 من جهة الغيرة مضطهد الكنيسة. من جهة البر الذي في الناموس بلا لوم.
7 But what were once my assets I now through Christ Jesus count as losses.	7 لكن ما كان لي ربحا فهذا قد حسبته من اجل المسيح خسارة.
8 Yes, I wil go further: because of the supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, I counteverything else as loss. For him I have accepted the loss of al other things, and look on them all as filth if only Ican gain Christ	8 بل اني احسب كل شيء ايضا خسارة من اجل فضل معرفة المسيح يسوع ربي الذي من اجله خسرت كل الاشياء وانا احسبها نفاية لكي اربح المسيح
9 and be given a place in him, with the uprightness I have gained not from the Law, but through faith inChrist, an uprightness from God, based on faith,	9 واوجد فيه وليس لي بري الذي من الناموس بل الذي بايمان المسيح البر الذي من الله بالايمان.
10 that I may come to know him and the power of his resurrection, and partake of his sufferings by beingmoulded to the pattern of his death,	10 لاعرفه وقوة قيامته وشركة آلامه متشبها بموته.
11 striving towards the goal of resurrection from the dead.	11 لعلي ابلغ الى قيامة الاموات.
12 Not that I have secured it already, nor yet reached my goal, but I am stil pursuing it in the attempt totake hold of the prize for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.	12 ليس اني قد نلت او صرت كاملا ولكني اسعى لعلي ادرك الذي لاجله ادركني ايضا المسيح يسوع.
13 Brothers, I do not reckon myself as having taken hold of it; I can only say that forgetting al that liesbehind me, and straining forward to what lies in front,	13 ايها الاخوة انا لست احسب نفسي اني قد ادركت. ولكني افعل شيئا واحدا اذ انا انسى ما هو وراء وامتد الى ما هو قدام
14 I am racing towards the finishing-point to win the prize of God's heavenly call in Christ Jesus.	14 اسعى نحو الغرض لاجل جعالة دعوة الله العليا في المسيح يسوع.
15 So this is the way in which al of us who are mature should be thinking, and if you are still thinkingdifferently in any way, then God has yet to make this matter clear to you.	15 فليفتكر هذا جميع الكاملين منا وان افتكرتم شيئا بخلافه فالله سيعلن لكم هذا ايضا.
16 Meanwhile, let us go forward from the point we have each attained.	16 واما ما قد ادركناه فلنسلك بحسب ذلك القانون عينه ونفتكر ذلك عينه
17 Brothers, be united in imitating me. Keep your eyes fixed on those who act according to the exampleyou have from me.	17 كونوا متمثلين بي معا ايها الاخوة ولاحظوا الذين يسيرون هكذا كما نحن عندكم قدوة.
18 For there are so many people of whom I have often warned you, and now I warn you again with tearsin my eyes, who behave like the enemies of Christ's cross.	18 لان كثيرين يسيرون ممن كنت اذكرهم لكم مرارا والآن اذكرهم ايضا باكيا وهم اعداء صليب المسيح
19 They are destined to be lost; their god is the stomach; they glory in what they should think shameful,since their minds are set on earthly things.	19 الذين نهايتهم الهلاك الذين الههم بطنهم ومجدهم في خزيهم الذين يفتكرون في الارضيات.
20 But our homeland is in heaven and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord JesusChrist,	20 فان سيرتنا نحن هي في السموات التي منها ايضا ننتظر مخلّصا هو الرب يسوع المسيح
21 who wil transfigure the wretched body of ours into the mould of his glorious body, through the workingof the power which he has, even to bring all things under his mastery.	21 الذي سيغيّر شكل جسد تواضعنا ليكون على صورة جسد مجده بحسب عمل استطاعته ان يخضع لنفسه كل شيء
