Filipperne 4
1 Derfor, mine Brødre, elskede og savnede, min Glæde og Krans! står således fast i Herren, I elskede!
So then, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and garland, so stand in the LORD, beloved.
2 Evodia formaner jeg, og Syntyke formaner jeg til at være enige i Herren.
I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind 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.
and I also ask you, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who strove along with me in the good news, with Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names [are] in [the] Scroll 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 reasonableness be known to all men; 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 by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known 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, that is surpassing 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 på Sinde!
As to the rest, brothers, as many things as are true, as many as [are] revered, as many as [are] righteous, as many as [are] pure, as many as [are] lovely, as many as [are] of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, 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.
the things that you also learned, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, do those, 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.
And I rejoiced in the LORD greatly, that now at length you flourished again in caring for me, for which also you were caring, and lacked opportunity;
11 Dette siger jeg ikke af Trang; thi jeg har lært at nøjes med det, jeg har.
I do not say that in respect of want, for I learned in the things in which I am—to be content;
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 have known both to be abased, and I have known to abound; in everything and in all things I have been initiated, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.
13 Alt formår jeg i ham, som gør mig stærk.
I have strength for all things, in Christ’s strengthening me;
14 Dog gjorde I vel i at tage Del i min Trængsel.
but you did well, having shared in my tribulation;
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 you have known, even you Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly communicated with me in regard to giving and receiving except you only;
16 Thi endog i Thessalonika sendte I mig både een og to Gange, hvad jeg havde nødig.
because in Thessalonica also, both once and again you sent to my need;
17 Ikke at jeg attrår Gaven, men jeg attrår den Frugt, som bliver rigelig til eders Fordel.
not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing 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.
and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you—an odor of a refreshing fragrance—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.
and my God will supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;
and to God, even our Father, [is] the glory through the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Hilser hver hellig i Kristus Jesus.
Every holy one in Christ Jesus greets you; the brothers 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 holy ones greet you, and especially those of Caesar’s house.
23 Den Herres Jesu Kristi Nåde være med eders Ånd!
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all! Amen.
