< Philippians 4 >
1 Therefore, my brethre, beloued and longed for, my ioy and my crowne, so continue in the Lord, yee beloued.
Derfor, mine Brødre, elskede og savnede, min Glæde og Krans! staar saaledes fast i Herren, I elskede!
2 I pray Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of one accord in the Lord,
Evodia formaner jeg, og Syntyke formaner jeg til at være enige i Herren.
3 Yea, and I beseech thee, faithfull yokefellow, helpe those women, which laboured with me in the Gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowe labourers, whose names are in the booke of life.
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.
4 Reioyce in the Lord alway, againe I say, reioyce.
Glæder eder i Herren altid; atter siger jeg: Glæder eder!
5 Let your patient minde be knowen vnto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Eders milde Sind vorde kendt af alle Mennesker! Herren er nær!
6 Be nothing carefull, but in all thinges let your requestes be shewed vnto God in praier, and supplication with giuing of thankes.
Værer ikke bekymrede for noget, men lader i alle Ting eders Begæringer komme frem for Gud i Paakaldelse og Bøn med Taksigelse;
7 And the peace of God which passeth all vnderstanding, shall preserue your heartes and mindes in Christ Iesus.
og Guds Fred, som overgaar al Forstand, skal bevare eders Hjerter og eders Tanker i Kristus Jesus.
8 Furthermore, brethre, whatsoeuer things are true, whatsoeuer things are honest, whatsoeuer thinges are iust, whatsoeuer thinges are pure, whatsoeuer thinges are worthie loue, whatsoeuer things are of good report, if there be any vertue, or if there be any praise, thinke on these things,
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!
9 Which yee haue both learned and receiued, and heard, and seene in mee: those things doe, and the God of peace shalbe with you.
Hvad I baade have lært og modtaget og hørt og set paa mig, dette skulle I gøre, og Fredens Gud skal være med eder.
10 Nowe I reioyce also in the Lord greatly, that nowe at the last your care for mee springeth afresh, wherein notwithstanding ye were careful, but yee lacked opportunitie.
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.
11 I speake not because of want: for I haue learned in whatsoeuer state I am, therewith to bee content.
Dette siger jeg ikke af Trang; thi jeg har lært at nøjes med det, jeg har.
12 And I can be abased, and I can abounde: euery where in all things I am instructed, both to be full, and to be hungrie, and to abounde, and to haue want.
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.
13 I am able to do al things through the helpe of Christ, which strengtheneth me.
Alt formaar jeg i ham, som gør mig stærk.
14 Notwithstanding yee haue well done, that yee did communicate to mine affliction.
Dog gjorde I vel i at tage Del i min Trængsel.
15 And yee Philippians knowe also that in the beginning of the Gospell, when I departed from Macedonia, no Church communicated with me, concerning the matter of giuing and receiuing, but yee onely.
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.
16 For euen when I was in Thessalonica, yee sent once, and afterward againe for my necessitie,
Thi endog i Thessalonika sendte I mig baade en og to Gange, hvad jeg havde nødig.
17 Not that I desire a gift: but I desire the fruit which may further your reckoning.
Ikke at jeg attraar Gaven, men jeg attraar den Frugt, som bliver rigelig til eders Fordel.
18 Now I haue receiued all, and haue plentie: I was euen filled, after that I had receiued of Epaphroditus that which came from you, an odour that smellleth sweete, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasant to God.
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.
19 And my God shall fulfill all your necessities through his riches with glorie in Iesus Christ.
Men min Gud skal efter sin Rigdom fuldelig give eder alt, hvad I have nødig, i Herlighed i Kristus Jesus.
20 Vnto God euen our Father be praise for euermore, Amen. (aiōn )
Men ham, vor Gud og Fader, være Æren i Evigheders Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn )
21 Salute all the Saintes in Christ Iesus. The brethren, which are with me, greete you.
Hilser hver hellig i Kristus Jesus.
22 All the Saintes salute you, and most of all they which are of Cesars houshold.
De Brødre, som ere hos mig, hilse eder. Alle de hellige hilse eder, men mest de af Kejserens Hus.
23 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you all, Amen. ‘Written to the Philippians from Rome, and sent by Epaphroditus.’
Den Herres Jesu Kristi Naade være med eders Aand!
