腓立比书 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
保罗的劝勉
4 我所亲爱、所想念的弟兄姊妹，你们就是我的喜乐，我的冠冕。我亲爱的弟兄姊妹，你们要靠主坚定不移。 2 我恳求友阿蝶和循都姬要在主里同心。 3 忠心的同工啊，请你帮助她们二人，因为她们曾与我、革利免和其他同工一起为福音辛劳，这些人的名字都记录在生命册上了。
4 你们要靠主常常喜乐！我再说，你们要喜乐！ 5 要让众人都知道你们是谦和宽容的人。主快来了。 6 你们应该一无挂虑，凡事要借着祷告和祈求，以感恩的心将你们的需要告诉上帝。 7 这样，上帝那超越人所能理解的平安必在基督耶稣里保守你们的心思意念。
8 最后，弟兄姊妹，你们要思想一切真实、可敬、公义、纯洁、可爱、有好名声、有美德和值得赞许的事情。 9 你们从我身上学习、领受、看到和听到的，都要照着去行。这样，赐平安的上帝就必与你们同在。
致谢
10 我在主里真是非常喜乐，因为你们现在又一次关心我。其实你们向来都很关心我，只是没有机会。 11 我并非有缺乏才这样说，因为我已经学会在任何处境中都能知足。 12 我知道如何过贫穷的日子，也知道如何过富足的日子。我学到了秘诀，不论饱足或饥饿，丰裕或缺乏，在任何情况下都可以处之泰然。 13 靠着赐我力量的那位，我凡事都能做。
14 然而，你们与我共患难，真是太好了。 15 腓立比人啊！你们也知道，在我离开马其顿传福音的初期，除了你们以外，没有别的教会供应我的需要。 16 即使我在帖撒罗尼迦的时候，你们也不止一次供应过我的需要。 17 我不求得到你们的馈赠，只希望你们所做的会带给你们更大的赏赐。 18 我现在样样都有，丰富有余。我从以巴弗提手上收到了你们送给我的礼物，已经充足了。这些馈赠是蒙上帝悦纳的馨香祭物。 19 我的上帝必按照祂在基督耶稣里的荣耀，丰丰富富地赐给你们所需用的一切。
20 愿荣耀归给我们的父上帝，直到永永远远。阿们！
问候
21 请代我问候在基督耶稣里的众圣徒。我这里的弟兄姊妹也问候你们。 22 所有的圣徒，特别是在凯撒宫里工作的人，都问候你们。
23 愿主耶稣基督的恩典与你们的灵同在！
Kehillah in Philippi 4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
4 So then, my achim ahuvim whom I have a tshuka (longing) for, my simcha and crown (1Th 2:19-20), stand firm in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu.
2 I appeal to Euodias and I appeal to Syntyche, think the same thing in Adoneinu.
3 Yes, I ask also you, true yoke-fellow, assist these women who contended alongside me in the Besuras HaGeulah with both Clement and the rest of the fellow po’alim (workers) of mine, whose names are in the Sefer HaChayyim.
4 Have simcha in Adoneinu always; again I will say it: Rejoice!
5 Let your chassidus (piety) and sobriety be known to kol Bnei Adam; Moshiach Adoneinu is near.
6 Be anxious in nothing [Mt 6:25; 1K 5:7], but in everything by tefillah and by techinnah (supplication) with hodayah (thanksgiving), let your requests be made known before Hashem,
7 And the shalom Hashem [YESHAYAH 26:3; Yn 14:27; Co. 3:15], surpassing all binah (understanding), will guard your levavot and your machshavot (thoughts) in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.
8 As to the rest, Achim b’Moshiach, whatever things are emes (truth), nichbad (noble), yashar (straight), tahor (clean), male No’am (full of pleasantness) and tiferet (beauty) [SHEMOT 28:2], whatever things are commendable, if there is any virtue, if any praise, think about these things.
9 And that which you learned and you received and you heard and you saw in me, practice these [Ro 12:17] and Elohei HaShalom will be with you.
10 I had much simcha in Adoneinu that now at last you blossomed anew so as to think of me, for indeed you were thinking of me, but were lacking opportunity.
11 Not that I refer to lack, for I have learned, in whatever circumstances I am, to be tzufrieden (content) [1Ti 6:6].
12 I have da’as both to be humbled in anavah and I have da’as how to abound in everything. And in all things I have learned what is nistar (concealed, hidden, unseen), I have learned the secret of being filled and having hunger, of abounding and having lack.
13 I can do all things in the One giving me ko’ach.
14 Fort (nevertheless), you did well in entering into deveykus (communing with Hashem) through sharing in my Messianic yissurim (sufferings) with me.
15 And also you Philippians have da’as, that in the beginning of the Besuras HaGeulah, when I went out from Macedonia, not one kehillah shared with me in an accounting of expenditures and receipts except you only.
16 Indeed in Thessalonica both once and again you sent to my machsor (shortage).
17 Not that I seek the matanah (gift), but I seek the p’ri increasing to your account [1C 9:11].
18 But I have all things and I abound; I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you, a RE’ACH HANNICHOACH ("a pleasant aroma" BERESHIS 8:21), an acceptable, sacrifice wellpleasing to Hashem [SHEMOT 29:18; YECHEZKEL 20:41].
19 And my G-d will fill every machsor (shortage, want) of yours according to his osher (riches) in Kavod in Moshiach Yehoshua.
20 L’Elohim Avinu hakavod l’Olemei Olamim. Omein. (To G-d and our Father be glory forever and ever. Amen)
21 Drishat Shalom (Kind Regards) to every Kadosh in Moshiach Yehoshua; the Achim b’Moshiach here with me send Drishat Shalom.
22 All the Kadoshim send "Shalom" greetings, especially the Kadoshim in Caesar [Nero’s] household [Pp 1:13].
23 The Chen v’Chesed of Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua be with your neshamah.
Philippians 4
International Standard Version
Closing Exhortations
4 Therefore, my dear brothers whom I long for, my joy and my victor’s crown, this is how you must stand firm in the Lord, dear friends. 2 I urge Euodia and Syntyche to have the same attitude in the Lord. 3 Yes, I also ask you, my true partner,[a] to help these women. They have worked hard with me to advance[b] the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
4 Keep on rejoicing in the Lord at all times. I will say it again: Keep on rejoicing! 5 Let your gracious attitude[c] be known to all people. The Lord is near: 6 Never worry about anything. Instead, in every situation let your petitions be made known to God through prayers and requests, with thanksgiving. 7 Then God’s peace, which goes far beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your hearts and minds in union with the Messiah[d] Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is fair, whatever is pure, whatever is acceptable, whatever is commendable, if there is anything of excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy—keep thinking about these things. 9 Likewise, keep practicing these things: what you have learned, received, heard, and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you.
The Philippians’ Gifts
10 Now I rejoice in the Lord greatly, because once again you have shown your concern for me. Of course, you were concerned for me but you did not have an opportunity to show it.[e] 11 I am not saying this because I am in any need, for I have learned to be content in whatever situation I am in. 12 I know how to be humble, and I know how to prosper. In each and every situation I have learned the secret of being full and of going hungry, of having too much and of having too little. 13 I can do all things through him[f] who strengthens me. 14 Nevertheless, it was kind of you to share my troubles.
15 You Philippians also know that in the early days[g] of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church participated with me in the matter of giving and receiving except for you. 16 Even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs not once, but twice. 17 It is not that I am looking for a gift. No, I want to see that you receive the fruit that increases to your benefit. 18 I have been paid in full and have more than enough. I am fully supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus what you sent—a fragrant aroma, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And my God will fully supply your every need according to his glorious riches in the Messiah[h] Jesus. 20 Glory belongs to our God and Father forever and ever! Amen.
Final Greeting
21 Greet every saint who is in union with the Messiah[i] Jesus. The brothers who are with me send their greetings to you. 22 All the saints, especially those of the emperor’s[j] household, greet you.
23 May the grace of the Lord Jesus, the Messiah,[k] be with your spirit! Amen.[l]
