Filipperne 4
1 Derfor, mine Brødre, elskede og savnede, min Glæde og Krans! staar saaledes fast i Herren, I elskede!
Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved friends.
2 Evodia formaner jeg, og Syntyke formaner jeg til at være enige i Herren.
I urge Euodia and Syntyche to 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.
Yes, I ask yoʋ also, my true companion, to assist these women, who have contended for the gospel at my side, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, 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 everyone. The Lord is near.
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 everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests 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 that surpasses all understanding will guard 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, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if anything is virtuous or praiseworthy, think about such 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.
Practice what you have learned and received from me, and what you have 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 have great joy in the Lord that now at last you have revived your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned but had no opportunity to show it.
11 Dette siger jeg ikke af Trang; thi jeg har lært at nøjes med det, jeg har.
Not that I am speaking about being in need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I find myself.
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 how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether having plenty or being in need.
13 Alt formaar jeg i ham, som gør mig stærk.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
14 Dog gjorde I vel i at tage Del i min Trængsel.
Nevertheless, you did well by sharing with me in 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.
As you Philippians know, in the early days of the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, no church partnered with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone.
16 Thi endog i Thessalonika sendte I mig baade en og to Gange, hvad jeg havde nødig.
Even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me help for my needs more than once.
17 Ikke at jeg attraar Gaven, men jeg attraar den Frugt, som bliver rigelig til eders Fordel.
Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds 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.
I have received everything in full and have an abundance. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are an aroma of a sweet fragrance, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
19 Men min Gud skal efter sin Rigdom fuldelig give eder alt, hvad I have nødig, i Herlighed i Kristus Jesus.
And my God will fully supply your every need through Christ Jesus according to his riches in glory.
Glory be to our God and Father forever and ever! Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Hilser hver hellig i Kristus Jesus.
Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
22 De Brødre, som ere hos mig, hilse eder. Alle de hellige hilse eder, men mest de af Kejserens Hus.
All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar's household.
23 Den Herres Jesu Kristi Naade være med eders Aand!
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
