Philippians 1

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Peshitta
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.	1 ܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܥܡ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܀
2 Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.	2 ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
3 I give thanks to my God, with every remembrance of you,	3 ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܝ ܥܠ ܥܘܗܕܢܟܘܢ ܐܡܝܢܐ ܀
4 always, in all my prayers, making supplication for all of you with joy,	4 ܕܒܟܠ ܒܥܘܬܝ ܕܥܠ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܘܟܕ ܚܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܬܟܫܦ ܐܢܐ ܀
5 because of your communion in the Gospel of Christ, from the first day even until now.	5 ܥܠ ܫܘܬܦܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܒܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܡܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܀
6 I am confident of this very thing: that he who has begun this good work in you will perfect it, unto the day of Christ Jesus.	6 ܡܛܠ ܕܬܟܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܕܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܫܪܝ ܒܟܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܗܘ ܢܫܠܡ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
7 So then, it is right for me to feel this way about all of you, because I hold you in my heart, and because, in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.	7 ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܙܕܩ ܠܝ ܠܡܬܪܥܝܘ ܥܠ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܠܒܝ ܤܝܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܒܐܤܘܪܝ ܘܒܡܦܩ ܒܪܘܚܝ ܕܥܠ ܫܪܪܗ ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܕܫܘܬܦܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܀
8 For God is my witness how, within the heart of Jesus Christ, I long for all of you.	8 ܤܗܕ ܗܘ ܠܝ ܓܝܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܚܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܪܚܡܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
9 And this I pray: that your charity may abound more and more, with knowledge and with all understanding,	9 ܘܗܕܐ ܡܨܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܬܘܒ ܢܤܓܐ ܘܢܬܝܬܪ ܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܘܒܟܠ ܤܘܟܠ ܕܪܘܚ ܀
10 so that you may be confirmed in what is better, in order that you may be sincere and without offense on the day of Christ:	10 ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܦܪܫܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܗܢܢ ܘܬܗܘܘܢ ܕܟܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܘܩܠܐ ܒܝܘܡܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
11 filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, in the glory and praise of God.	11 ܘܡܠܝܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܫܘܒܚܐ ܘܠܐܝܩܪܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
12 Now, brothers, I want you to know that the things concerning me happened for the advancement of the Gospel,	12 ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܕܤܘܥܪܢܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܬܐ ܠܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܒܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܀
13 in such a way that my chains have become manifest in Christ in every place of judgment and in all other such places.	13 ܗܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܐܤܘܪܝ ܐܬܓܠܝܘ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܦܪܛܘܪܝܢ ܟܠܗ ܘܠܫܪܟܐ ܕܟܠܢܫ ܀
14 And many from among the brothers in the Lord, becoming confident through my chains, are now much bolder in speaking the Word of God without fear.	14 ܘܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܐܚܐ ܕܒܡܪܢ ܐܬܬܟܠܘ ܥܠ ܐܤܘܪܝ ܘܐܫܝܚܘ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܕܚܠܐ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
15 Certainly, some do so even because of envy and contention; and others, too, do so because of a good will to preach Christ.	15 ܘܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܚܤܡܐ ܘܚܪܝܢܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܒܨܒܝܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܒܚܘܒܐ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܟܪܙܝܢ ܀
16 Some act out of charity, knowing that I have been appointed for the defense of the Gospel.	16 ܡܛܠ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܕܠܡܦܩ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܤܝܡ ܐܢܐ ܀
17 But others, out of contention, announce Christ insincerely, claiming that their difficulties lift them up to my chains.	17 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܚܪܝܢܐ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܟܪܙܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܟܝܐܝܬ ܐܠܐ ܕܤܒܪܝܢ ܕܡܘܤܦܝܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܠܐܤܘܪܝ ܀
18 But what does it matter? As long as, by every means, whether under pretext or in truthfulness, Christ is announced. And about this, I rejoice, and moreover, I will continue to rejoice.	18 ܘܒܗܕܐ ܚܕܝܬ ܘܚܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܟܠ ܦܪܘܤ ܐܢ ܒܥܠܬܐ ܘܐܢ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܬܟܪܙ ܀
19 For I know that this will bring me to salvation, through your prayers and under the ministration of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,	19 ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܠܚܝܐ ܡܫܬܟܚܢ ܠܝ ܒܒܥܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܒܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
20 by means of my own expectation and hope. For in nothing shall I be confounded. Instead, with all confidence, now just as always, Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.	20 ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܤܟܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܐܒܗܬ ܐܠܐ ܒܓܠܝܘܬ ܐܦܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܢܬܪܘܪܒ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܦܓܪܝ ܐܢ ܒܚܝܐ ܘܐܢ ܒܡܘܬܐ ܀
21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.	21 ܚܝܝ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܠܝ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܢ ܐܡܘܬ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܗܘ ܠܝ ܀
22 And while I live in the flesh, for me, there is the fruit of works. But I do not know which I would choose.	22 ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܚܝܐ ܕܒܤܪܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܒܥܒܕܝ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܓܒܐ ܠܝ ܀
23 For I am constrained between the two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, which is the far better thing,	23 ܐܠܨܢ ܠܝ ܓܝܪ ܬܪܬܝܗܝܢ ܠܡܦܛܪ ܪܓܝܓ ܐܢܐ ܕܥܡ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܗܘܐ ܘܗܕܐ ܛܒ ܦܩܚܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܝ ܀
24 but then to remain in the flesh is necessary for your sake.	24 ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܕܐܩܘܐ ܒܦܓܪܝ ܐܠܨܐ ܠܝ ܨܒܘܬܐ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ ܀
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall remain and that I shall continue to remain with all of you, for your advancement and for your joy in the faith,	25 ܘܗܕܐ ܬܟܝܠܐܝܬ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܦܐܫ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܩܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܚܕܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܬܪܒܝܬܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܀
26 so that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, through my return to you again.	26 ܕܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܬܘܒ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܢܬܝܬܪ ܒܝ ܫܘܒܗܪܟܘܢ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܀
27 Only let your behavior be worthy of the Gospel of Christ, so that, whether I return and see you, or whether, being absent, I hear about you, still you may stand firm with one spirit, with one mind, laboring together for the faith of the Gospel.	27 ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܐܐ ܠܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܬܕܒܪܝܢ ܕܐܢ ܐܬܐ ܐܚܙܝܟܘܢ ܘܐܢ ܦܪܝܩ ܐܢܐ ܐܫܡܥ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܚܕܐ ܪܘܚ ܘܒܚܕܐ ܢܦܫ ܘܡܬܢܨܚܝܬܘܢ ܐܟܚܕ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܀
28 And in nothing be terrified by the adversaries. For what is to them is an occasion of perdition, is to you an occasion of salvation, and this is from God.	28 ܘܒܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܡܬܬܙܝܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܠܩܘܒܠܢ ܠܬܚܘܝܬܐ ܕܐܒܕܢܗܘܢ ܘܠܚܝܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܀
29 For this has been given to you on behalf of Christ, not only so that you may believe in him, but even so that you may suffer with him,	29 ܘܗܕܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܡܗܝܡܢܘ ܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܒܗ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܕܥܠ ܐܦܘܗܝ ܬܚܫܘܢ ܀
30 engaging in the same struggle, of a kind which you also have seen in me, and which you now have heard from me.	30 ܘܬܤܝܒܪܘܢ ܐܓܘܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܒܝ ܘܗܫܐ ܫܡܥܝܬܘܢ ܥܠܝ ܀
