Filipperne 4
1 Derfor, mine Brødre, elskede og savnede, min Glæde og Krans! står således fast i Herren, I elskede!
Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you must stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
2 Evodia formaner jeg, og Syntyke formaner jeg til at være enige i Herren.
I urge Euodia and Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.
3 Ja, jeg beder også 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 stå i Livets Bog.
Yes, and I ask you, my true yokefellow, to help these women who have labored with me for the gospel, 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. I will say it again: Rejoice!
5 Eders milde Sind vorde kendt af alle Mennesker! Herren er nær!
Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near.
6 Værer ikke bekymrede for noget, men lader i alle Ting eders Begæringer komme frem for Gud i Påkaldelse og Bøn med Taksigelse;
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7 og Guds Fred, som overgår 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 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 på Sinde!
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think on these things.
9 Hvad I både have lært og modtaget og hørt og set på mig, dette skulle I gøre, og Fredens Gud skal være med eder.
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
10 Men jeg har højlig glædet mig i Herren over, at I nu omsider ere komne til Kræfter, så at I kunne tænke på mit Vel, hvorpå I også forhen tænkte, men I manglede Lejlighed.
Now I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
11 Dette siger jeg ikke af Trang; thi jeg har lært at nøjes med det, jeg har.
I am not saying this out of need, for I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances.
12 Jeg forstår at være i ringe Kår, og jeg forstår også at have Overflod; i alt og hvert er jeg indviet, både i at mættes og i at hungre, både i at have Overflod og i at lide Savn.
I know how to live humbly, and I know how to abound. I am accustomed to any and every situation—to being filled and being hungry, to having plenty and having need.
13 Alt formår jeg i ham, som gør mig stærk.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
14 Dog gjorde I vel i at tage Del i min Trængsel.
Nevertheless, you have done well to share in my affliction.
15 Men I vide det også 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.
And as you Philippians know, in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church but you partnered with me in the matter of giving and receiving.
16 Thi endog i Thessalonika sendte I mig både een og to Gange, hvad jeg havde nødig.
For even while I was in Thessalonica, you provided for my needs again and again.
17 Ikke at jeg attrår Gaven, men jeg attrår den Frugt, som bliver rigelig til eders Fordel.
Not that I am seeking a gift, but I am looking for the fruit that may be credited 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 all I need and more, now that I have received your gifts from Epaphroditus. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, 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.
And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Hilser hver hellig i Kristus Jesus.
Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you greetings.
22 De Brødre, som ere hos mig, hilse eder. Alle de hellige hilse eder, men mest de af Kejserens Hus.
All the saints send you greetings, especially those from the household of Caesar.
23 Den Herres Jesu Kristi Nåde være med eders Ånd!
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
