Filipperne 4
1 Derfor, mine Brødre, elskede og savnede, min Glæde og Krans! staar saaledes fast i Herren, I elskede!
Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.
2 Evodia formaner jeg, og Syntyke formaner jeg til at være enige i Herren.
I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way 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 beg you also, true partner, help these women, for they laboured with me in the Good News with Clement also, 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! Again I will 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;
In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition 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 surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts 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 things are true, whatever things are honourable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about 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 the things which you learnt, received, heard, and saw 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.
But I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.
11 Dette siger jeg ikke af Trang; thi jeg har lært at nøjes med det, jeg har.
Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learnt in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
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 humbled, and I also know how to abound. In any and all circumstances I have learnt the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be 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.
However you did well that you shared 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.
You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter 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 in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.
17 Ikke at jeg attraar Gaven, men jeg attraar den Frugt, som bliver rigelig til eders Fordel.
Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases 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 things and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.
19 Men min Gud skal efter sin Rigdom fuldelig give eder alt, hvad I have nødig, i Herlighed i Kristus Jesus.
My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Now to our God and Father be the glory 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 who are 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.
