फिलिप्पियों 1

1 मसीह यीशु के दास पौलुस और तीमुथियुस की ओर से सब पवित्र लोगों के नाम, जो मसीह यीशु में होकर फिलिप्पी में रहते हैं, अध्यक्षों और सेवकों समेत।

2 हमारे पिता परमेश्वर और प्रभु यीशु मसीह की ओर से तुम्हें अनुग्रह और शान्ति मिलती रहे॥

3 मैं जब जब तुम्हें स्मरण करता हूं, तब तब अपने परमेश्वर का धन्यवाद करता हूं।

4 और जब कभी तुम सब के लिये बिनती करता हूं, तो सदा आनन्द के साथ बिनती करता हूं।

5 इसलिये, कि तुम पहिले दिन से लेकर आज तक सुसमाचार के फैलाने में मेरे सहभागी रहे हो।

6 और मुझे इस बात का भरोसा है, कि जिस ने तुम में अच्छा काम आरम्भ किया है, वही उसे यीशु मसीह के दिन तक पूरा करेगा।

7 उचित है, कि मैं तुम सब के लिये ऐसा ही विचार करूं क्योंकि तुम मेरे मन में आ बसे हो, और मेरी कैद में और सुसमाचार के लिये उत्तर और प्रमाण देने में तुम सब मेरे साथ अनुग्रह में सहभागी हो।

8 इस में परमेश्वर मेरा गवाह है, कि मैं मसीह यीशु की सी प्रीति करके तुम सब की लालसा करता हूं।

9 और मैं यह प्रार्थना करता हूं, कि तुम्हारा प्रेम, ज्ञान और सब प्रकार के विवेक सहित और भी बढ़ता जाए।

10 यहां तक कि तुम उत्तम से उत्तम बातों को प्रिय जानो, और मसीह के दिन तक सच्चे बने रहो; और ठोकर न खाओ।

11 और उस धामिर्कता के फल से जो यीशु मसीह के द्वारा होते हैं, भरपूर होते जाओ जिस से परमेश्वर की महिमा और स्तुति होती रहे॥

12 हे भाइयों, मैं चाहता हूं, कि तुम यह जान लो, कि मुझ पर जो बीता है, उस से सुसमाचार ही की बढ़ती हुई है।

13 यहां तक कि कैसरी राज्य की सारी पलटन और शेष सब लोगों में यह प्रगट हो गया है कि मैं मसीह के लिये कैद हूं।

14 और प्रभु में जो भाई हैं, उन में से बहुधा मेरे कैद होने के कारण, हियाव बान्ध कर, परमेश्वर का वचन निधड़क सुनाने का और भी हियाव करते हैं।

15 कितने तो डाह और झगड़े के कारण मसीह का प्रचार करते हैं और कितने भली मनसा से।

16 कई एक तो यह जान कर कि मैं सुसमाचार के लिये उत्तर देने को ठहराया गया हूं प्रेम से प्रचार करते हैं।

17 और कई एक तो सीधाई से नहीं पर विरोध से मसीह की कथा सुनाते हैं, यह समझ कर कि मेरी कैद में मेरे लिये क्लेश उत्पन्न करें।

18 सो क्या हुआ? केवल यह, कि हर प्रकार से चाहे बहाने से, चाहे सच्चाई से, मसीह की कथा सुनाई जाती है, और मैं इस से आनन्दित हूं, और आनन्दित रहूंगा भी।

19 क्योंकि मैं जानता हूं, कि तुम्हारी बिनती के द्वारा, और यीशु मसीह की आत्मा के दान के द्वारा इस का प्रतिफल मेरा उद्धार होगा।

20 मैं तो यही हादिर्क लालसा और आशा रखता हूं, कि मैं किसी बात में लज्ज़ित न होऊं, पर जैसे मेरे प्रबल साहस के कारण मसीह की बड़ाई मेरी देह के द्वारा सदा होती रही है, वैसा ही अब भी हो चाहे मैं जीवित रहूं या मर जाऊं।

21 क्योंकि मेरे लिये जीवित रहना मसीह है, और मर जाना लाभ है।

22 पर यदि शरीर में जीवित रहना ही मेरे काम के लिये लाभदायक है तो मैं नहीं जानता, कि किस को चुनूं।

23 क्योंकि मैं दोनों के बीच अधर में लटका हूं; जी तो चाहता है कि कूच करके मसीह के पास जा रहूं, क्योंकि यह बहुत ही अच्छा है।

24 परन्तु शरीर में रहना तुम्हारे कारण और भी आवश्यक है।

25 और इसलिये कि मुझे इस का भरोसा है सो मैं जानता हूं कि मैं जीवित रहूंगा, वरन तुम सब के साथ रहूंगा जिस से तुम विश्वास में दृढ़ होते जाओ और उस में आनन्दित रहो।

26 और जो घमण्ड तुम मेरे विषय में करते हो, वह मेरे फिर तुम्हारे पास आने से मसीह यीशु में अधिक बढ़ जाए।

27 केवल इतना करो कि तुम्हारा चाल-चलन मसीह के सुसमाचार के योग्य हो कि चाहे मैं आकर तुम्हें देखूं, चाहे न भी आऊं, तुम्हारे विषय में यह सुनूं, कि तुम एक ही आत्मा में स्थिर हो, और एक चित्त होकर सुसमाचार के विश्वास के लिये परिश्रम करते रहते हो।

28 और किसी बात में विरोधियों से भय नहीं खाते यह उन के लिये विनाश का स्पष्ट चिन्ह है, परन्तु तुम्हारे लिये उद्धार का, और यह परमेश्वर की ओर से है।

29 क्योंकि मसीह के कारण तुम पर यह अनुग्रह हुआ कि न केवल उस पर विश्वास करो पर उसके लिये दुख भी उठाओ।

30 और तुम्हें वैसा ही परिश्रम करना है, जैसा तुम ने मुझे करते देखा है, और अब भी सुनते हो, कि मैं वैसा ही करता हूं॥

1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,

5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;

6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.

8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;

11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;

13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;

14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.

21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.

2 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.

3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.

4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to record, and to thank and praise the Lord God of Israel:

5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;

6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the Lord into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

8 Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.

10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

11 Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.

12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

14 He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;

16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;

21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

23 Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.

24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.

25 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.

26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

27 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.

28 Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.

29 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.

31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.

32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.

33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the Lord, because he cometh to judge the earth.

34 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.

36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the Lord.

37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required:

38 And Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:

39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place that was at Gibeon,

40 To offer burnt offerings unto the Lord upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded Israel;

41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the Lord, because his mercy endureth for ever;

42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.

43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
