Lettera ai Filippesi (فيلبي) 3

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 اخيرا يا اخوتي افرحوا في الرب. كتابة هذه الامور اليكم ليست عليّ ثقيلة واما لكم فهي مؤمّنة.	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.
2 انظروا الكلاب انظروا فعلة الشر انظروا القطع.	2 Beware of dogs! Beware of evil workmen! Beware of self-mutilators!
3 لاننا نحن الختان الذين نعبد الله بالروح ونفتخر في المسيح يسوع ولا نتكل على الجسد.	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,
4 مع ان لي ان اتكل على الجسد ايضا. ان ظن واحد آخر ان يتكل على الجسد فانا بالأولى.	4 although, I myself could rely on these too. If anyone does claim to rely on them, my claim is better.
5 من جهة الختان مختون في اليوم الثامن من جنس اسرائيل من سبط بنيامين عبراني من العبرانيين. من جهة الناموس فريسي.	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;
6 من جهة الغيرة مضطهد الكنيسة. من جهة البر الذي في الناموس بلا لوم.	6 as for religious fervour, I was a persecutor of the Church; as for the uprightness embodied in the Law, Iwas faultless.
7 لكن ما كان لي ربحا فهذا قد حسبته من اجل المسيح خسارة.	7 But what were once my assets I now through Christ Jesus count as losses.
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	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
9 واوجد فيه وليس لي بري الذي من الناموس بل الذي بايمان المسيح البر الذي من الله بالايمان.	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,
10 لاعرفه وقوة قيامته وشركة آلامه متشبها بموته.	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,
11 لعلي ابلغ الى قيامة الاموات.	11 striving towards the goal of resurrection from the dead.
12 ليس اني قد نلت او صرت كاملا ولكني اسعى لعلي ادرك الذي لاجله ادركني ايضا المسيح يسوع.	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.
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	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,
14 اسعى نحو الغرض لاجل جعالة دعوة الله العليا في المسيح يسوع.	14 I am racing towards the finishing-point to win the prize of God's heavenly call in Christ Jesus.
15 فليفتكر هذا جميع الكاملين منا وان افتكرتم شيئا بخلافه فالله سيعلن لكم هذا ايضا.	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.
16 واما ما قد ادركناه فلنسلك بحسب ذلك القانون عينه ونفتكر ذلك عينه	16 Meanwhile, let us go forward from the point we have each attained.
17 كونوا متمثلين بي معا ايها الاخوة ولاحظوا الذين يسيرون هكذا كما نحن عندكم قدوة.	17 Brothers, be united in imitating me. Keep your eyes fixed on those who act according to the exampleyou have from me.
18 لان كثيرين يسيرون ممن كنت اذكرهم لكم مرارا والآن اذكرهم ايضا باكيا وهم اعداء صليب المسيح	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.
19 الذين نهايتهم الهلاك الذين الههم بطنهم ومجدهم في خزيهم الذين يفتكرون في الارضيات.	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.
20 فان سيرتنا نحن هي في السموات التي منها ايضا ننتظر مخلّصا هو الرب يسوع المسيح	20 But our homeland is in heaven and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord JesusChrist,
21 الذي سيغيّر شكل جسد تواضعنا ليكون على صورة جسد مجده بحسب عمل استطاعته ان يخضع لنفسه كل شيء	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.
