Philippians 3
1 For the rest, my brothers, be glad in the Lord. Writing the same things to you is no trouble to me, and for you it is safe.
V ostalem, bratje moji, veselite se v Gospodu. Isto pisati vam ni sitno meni, vam pa v potrjenje.
2 Be on the watch against dogs, against the workers of evil, against those of the circumcision:
Pazite se psov, pazite se slabih delalcev, pazite se razkolja!
3 For we are the circumcision, who give worship to God and have glory in Jesus Christ, and have no faith in the flesh:
Kajti mi smo obreza, ki v duhu služimo Bogu in se hvalimo v Kristusu Jezusu, in ne zaupamo v meso;
4 Even though I myself might have faith in the flesh: if any other man has reason to have faith in the flesh, I have more:
Dasì bi imel jaz tudi v meso zaupanje. Če méni kdo drug zaupati v meso, jaz bolj;
5 Being given circumcision on the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in relation to the law, a Pharisee:
Obrezan osmi dan, iz rodú Izraelovega, rodovine Benjaminove, Hebrejec iz Hebrejcev, po postavi Farizej,
6 In bitter hate I was cruel to the church; I kept all the righteousness of the law to the last detail.
Po gorečnosti preganjalec občine, po pravičnosti v postavi bréz pogreška.
7 But those things which were profit to me, I gave up for Christ.
Ali kar mi je bilo dobiček, to sem imel zaradi Kristusa za izgubo;
8 Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,
Ali zares tudi zdaj imam vse za izgubo zavoljo preobilosti spoznanja Kristusa Jezusa, Gospoda svojega, za katerega voljo sem vse izgubil, in za smeti imam, da pridobim Kristusa,
9 And be seen in him, not having my righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
In se najdem v njem, ne da imam svojo pravico iz postave, nego po veri Kristusovi, iz Boga pravico v veri;
10 That I may have knowledge of him, and of the power of his coming back from the dead, and a part with him in his pains, becoming like him in his death;
Da spoznam njega in vstajenja njegovega moč, in sodeleštvo njegovega trpljenja, storivši se podobnega smrti njegovi,
11 If in any way I may have the reward of life from the dead.
Če pač pridem do vstajenja mrtvih;
12 Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.
Ne da sem že dosegel ali sem že popoln; a lovim, če pač dosežem, za kar sem tudi vjet bil od Kristusa Jezusa.
13 Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,
Bratje, jaz ne sodim, da sem dosegel;
14 I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.
Eno pa: pozabivši kar je zadaj, a spenjajoč se po tém, kar je spredaj, proti smotru hitim za darilom nebeškega poklica Božjega v Kristusu Jezusu.
15 Then let us all, who have come to full growth, be of this mind: and if in anything you are of a different mind, even this will God make clear to you:
Kolikor nas je torej popolnih, bodimo teh misli; in če ste v čem drugih misli, bode vam tudi to Bog razodel.
16 Only, as far as we have got, let us be guided by the same rule.
Todà do česar smo dospeli, isto bodi nam pravilo v dejanji, isto v mišljenji.
17 Brothers, take me as your example, and take note of those who are walking after the example we have given.
Posnemalci moji bodite vsi, bratje, in glejte one, kateri tako živé, kakor imate nas za zgled.
18 For there are those, of whom I have given you word before, and do so now with sorrow, who are haters of the cross of Christ;
Kajti mnogo jih živi, katere sem vam mnogokrat imenoval, zdaj pa jih tudi jokajoč imenujem, sovražnike križa Kristusovega,
19 Whose end is destruction, whose god is the stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, whose minds are fixed on the things of the earth.
Katerih konec poguba, katerih Bog trebuh, in slava v njih sramoti, ki jim je zemeljsko v mislih.
20 For our country is in heaven; from where the Saviour for whom we are waiting will come, even the Lord Jesus Christ:
Kajti naše dejanje je v nebesih, od koder tudi zveličarja pričakujemo Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa,
21 By whom this poor body of ours will be changed into the image of the body of his glory, in the measure of the working by which he is able to put all things under himself.
Kateri bode telo ponižanja našega preizobrazil, da bode podobno telesu slave njegove, po kreposti, s katero si more tudi vse podvreči.
