Filipperne 4
1 Derfor, mine Brødre, elskede og savnede, min Glæde og Krans! staar saaledes fast i Herren, I elskede!
So, then, my brethren, beloved and ardently desired, my joy and my crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my beloved.
2 Evodia formaner jeg, og Syntyke formaner jeg til at være enige i Herren.
I beseech Euodia, and I beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
3 Ja, jeg beder ogsaa dig, min ægte Synzygus! tag dig af dem; thi de have med mig stridt i Evangeliet, tillige med Klemens og mine øvrige Medarbejdere, hvis Navne staa i Livets Bog.
Now I beseech you also, true yoke-fellow, to assist those women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and my other fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.
4 Glæder eder i Herren altid; atter siger jeg: Glæder eder!
Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Eders milde Sind vorde kendt af alle Mennesker! Herren er nær!
Let your gentleness be known to all men: the Lord is at hand.
6 Værer ikke bekymrede for noget, men lader i alle Ting eders Begæringer komme frem for Gud i Paakaldelse og Bøn med Taksigelse;
Be anxious about nothing, but in every thing, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God:
7 og Guds Fred, som overgaar al Forstand, skal bevare eders Hjerter og eders Tanker i Kristus Jesus.
and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
8 I øvrigt, Brødre! alt, hvad der er sandt, hvad der er ærbart, hvad der er retfærdigt, hvad der er rent, hvad der er elskeligt, hvad der har godt Lov, enhver Dyd og enhver Hæder: Lægger eder det paa Sinde!
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue, or any praise, think of these things.
9 Hvad I baade have lært og modtaget og hørt og set paa mig, dette skulle I gøre, og Fredens Gud skal være med eder.
Do those things which you have learned and received, and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
10 Men jeg har højlig glædet niig i Herren over, at I nu omsider ere komne til Kræfter, saa at I kunne tænke paa mit Vel, hvorpaa I ogsaa forhen tænkte, men I manglede Lejlighed.
I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length your care for me has revived again; in this, indeed, you had me in mind, but you lacked opportunity.
11 Dette siger jeg ikke af Trang; thi jeg har lært at nøjes med det, jeg har.
I do not speak in respect to want: for I have learned, in whatever condition I am, to be content.
12 Jeg forstaar at være i ringe Kaar, og jeg forstaar ogsaa at have Overflod; i alt og hvert er jeg indviet, baade i at mættes og i at hungre, baade i at have Overflod og i at lide Savn.
I know what it is to be in want, and what it is to have abundance. Everywhere and in all things, I have been fully instructed in being full and in being hungry, in having abundance and in being in want.
13 Alt formaar jeg i ham, som gør mig stærk.
I am able to do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
14 Dog gjorde I vel i at tage Del i min Trængsel.
Yet you have done well in contributing to the relief of my affliction.
15 Men I vide det ogsaa selv, Filippensere! at i Evangeliets Begyndelse, da jeg drog ud fra Makedonien, var der ingen Menighed, som havde Regning med mig over givet og modtaget, uden I alene.
Now you Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church contributed to me so that I kept an account of giving and receiving, but you only.
16 Thi endog i Thessalonika sendte I mig baade en og to Gange, hvad jeg havde nødig.
For even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent once and again to aid me in my need.
17 Ikke at jeg attraar Gaven, men jeg attraar den Frugt, som bliver rigelig til eders Fordel.
Not that I seek a gift; but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
18 Nu har jeg nok af alt og har Overflod; jeg har fuldt op efter ved Epafroditus at have modtaget eders Gave, en Vellugts-Duft, et velkomment Offer, velbehageligt for Gud.
But I have all, and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus your gifts, a sweet odor, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.
19 Men min Gud skal efter sin Rigdom fuldelig give eder alt, hvad I have nødig, i Herlighed i Kristus Jesus.
But my God will supply all your need, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Now to God, even our Father, be glory from age to age. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Hilser hver hellig i Kristus Jesus.
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren that are with me salute you.
22 De Brødre, som ere hos mig, hilse eder. Alle de hellige hilse eder, men mest de af Kejserens Hus.
All the saints salute you, especially those who are of Caesar’s household.
23 Den Herres Jesu Kristi Naade være med eders Aand!
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
