Filipperne 2
1 Er der da nogen Formaning i Kristus, er der nogen Kærlighedens Opmuntring, er der noget Aandens Samfund, er der nogen inderlig Kærlighed og Barmhjertighed:
If there be therfore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of loue, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any compassion and mercie,
2 Da fuldkommer min Glæde, at I maa være enige indbyrdes, saa I have den samme Kærlighed, samme Sjæl, een Higen,
Fulfill my ioye, that ye be like minded, hauing the same loue, being of one accorde, and of one iudgement,
3 intet gøre af Egennytte eller Lyst til tom Ære, men i Ydmyghed agte hverandre højere end eder selv
That nothing be done through contention or vaine glory, but that in meekenesse of minde euery man esteeme other better then himselfe.
4 og ikke se hver paa sit, men enhver ogsaa paa andres.
Looke not euery man on his owne things, but euery man also on the things of other men.
5 Det samme Sindelag være i eder, som ogsaa var i Kristus Jesus,
Let the same minde be in you that was euen in Christ Iesus,
6 han, som, da han var i Guds Skikkelse, ikke holdt det for et Rov at være Gud lig,
Who being in ye forme of God, thought it no robberie to be equall with God:
7 men forringede sig selv, idet han tog en Tjeners Skikkelse paa og blev Mennesker lig;
But he made himself of no reputation, and tooke on him ye forme of a seruant, and was made like vnto men, and was founde in shape as a man.
8 og da han i Fremtræden fandtes som et Menneske, fornedrede han sig selv, saa han blev lydig indtil Døden, ja, Korsdøden.
He humbled himselfe, and became obedient vnto the death, euen the death of the Crosse.
9 Derfor har ogsaa Gud højt ophøjet ham og skænket ham det Navn, som er over alle Navne,
Wherefore God hath also highly exalted him, and giuen him a Name aboue euery name,
10 for at i Jesu Navn hvert Knæ skal bøje sig, deres i Himmelen og paa Jorden og under Jorden,
That at the Name of Iesus shoulde euery knee bowe, both of things in heauen, and things in earth, and things vnder the earth,
11 og hver Tunge skal bekende, at Jesus Kristus er Herre, til Gud Faders Ære.
And that euery tongue shoulde confesse that Iesus Christ is the Lord, vnto the glory of God the Father.
12 Derfor, mine elskede! ligesom I altid have været lydige, saa arbejder ikke alene som i min Nærværelse, men nu meget mere i min Fraværelse paa eders egen Frelse med Frygt og Bæven;
Wherefore my beloued, as ye haue alwayes obeyed me, not as in my presence only, but now much more in mine absence, so make an end of your owne saluation with feare and trembling.
13 thi Gud er den, som virker i eder baade at ville og at virke, efter sit Velbehag.
For it is God which worketh in you, both the will and the deede, euen of his good pleasure.
14 Gører alle Ting uden Knurren og Betænkeligheder,
Do all things without murmuring and reasonings,
15 for at I maa blive udadlelige og rene, Guds ulastelige Børn, midt i en vanartet og forvendt Slægt, iblandt hvilke I vise eder som Himmellys i Verden,
That ye may be blamelesse, and pure, and the sonnes of God without rebuke in the middes of a naughtie and crooked nation, among whom yee shine as lights in the world,
16 idet I fremholde Livets Ord, mig til Ros paa Kristi Dag, at jeg ikke har løbet forgæves, ej heller arbejdet forgæves.
Holding forth the worde of life, that I may reioyce in the day of Christ, that I haue not runne in vaine, neither haue laboured in vaine.
17 Ja, selv om jeg bliver ofret under Ofringen og Betjeningen af eders Tro, saa glæder jeg mig og glæder mig med eder alle.
Yea, and though I bee offered vp vpon the sacrifice, and seruice of your faith, I am glad, and reioyce with you all.
18 Men ligeledes skulle ogsaa I glæde eder, og glæde eder med mig!
For the same cause also be ye glad, and reioyce with me.
19 Men jeg haaber i den Herre Jesus snart at kunne sende Timotheus til eder, for at ogsaa jeg kan blive ved godt Mod ved at erfare, hvorledes det gaar eder.
And I trust in the Lord Iesus, to sende Timotheus shortly vnto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I knowe your state.
20 Thi jeg har ingen ligesindet, der saa oprigtig vil have Omsorg for, hvorledes det gaar eder;
For I haue no man like minded, who will faithfully care for your matters.
21 thi de søge alle deres eget, ikke hvad der hører Kristus Jesus til.
For all seeke their owne, and not that which is Iesus Christes.
22 Men hans prøvede Troskab kende I, at, ligesom et Barn tjener sin Fader, saaledes har han tjent med mig for Evangeliet.
But yee knowe the proofe of him, that as a sonne with the father, hee hath serued with me in the Gospel.
23 Ham haaber jeg altsaa at sende straks, naar jeg ser Udgangen paa min Sag.
Him therefore I hope to send assoone as I knowe howe it will goe with me,
24 Men jeg har den Tillid til Herren, at jeg ogsaa selv snart skal komme.
And trust in the Lord, that I also my selfe shall come shortly.
25 Men jeg har agtet det nødvendigt at sende Epafroditus til eder, min Broder og Medarbejder og Medstrider, og eders Udsending og Tjener for min Trang,
But I supposed it necessarie to sende my brother Epaphroditus vnto you, my companion in labour, and fellowe souldier, euen your messenger, and he that ministred vnto me such things as I wanted.
26 efterdi han længtes efter eder alle og var saare ængstelig, fordi I havde hørt, at han var bleven syg.
For he longed after all you, and was full of heauinesse, because yee had heard that hee had beene sicke.
27 Ja, han var ogsaa syg og Døden nær; men Gud forbarmede sig over ham, ja, ikke alene over ham, men ogsaa over mig, for at jeg ikke skulde have Sorg paa Sorg.
And no doubt he was sicke, very neere vnto death: but God had mercie on him, and not on him onely, but on me also, least I should haue sorowe vpon sorowe.
28 Derfor skynder jeg mig desto mere med at sende ham, for at I atter kunne glædes, naar I se ham, og jeg være mere sorgfri.
I sent him therefore the more diligently, that when yee shoulde see him againe, yee might reioyce, and I might be the lesse sorowfull.
29 Modtager ham altsaa i Herren med al Glæde og holder saadanne i Ære;
Receiue him therefore in the Lord with all gladnesse, and make much of such:
30 thi for Kristi Gernings Skyld kom han Døden nær, idet han satte sit Liv i Vove for at udfylde Savnet af eder i eders Tjeneste imod mig.
Because that for the woorke of Christ he was neere vnto death, and regarded not his life, to fulfill that seruice which was lacking on your part towarde me.
