Philippians 2
1 Since Christ encourages us, since he loves us and comforts us, since God’s Spirit fellowships with [us, and] since [Christ] is very merciful [DOU] to us,
Итак, если есть какое утешение во Христе, если есть какая отрада любви, если есть какое общение духа, если есть какое милосердие и сострадательность,
2 make me completely happy [by doing the following things]: Agree with one another, love one another, be closely united with one another, and [live] harmoniously with one another [DOU].
то дополните мою радость: имейте одни мысли, имейте ту же любовь, будьте единодушны и единомысленны;
3 Never try to selfishly make yourselves more important than [others] nor boast [about what you are doing]. Instead, be humble, [and in particular], honor one another more than you honor yourselves.
ничего не делайте по любопрению или по тщеславию, но по смиренномудрию почитайте один другого высшим себя.
4 Each one of you should not [only] be concerned about your own affairs. Instead, each of you should also be concerned (that you help/about the needs of) one another.
Не о себе только каждый заботься, но каждый и о других.
5 You should think/act just like Christ Jesus [thought/acted].
Ибо в вас должны быть те же чувствования, какие и во Христе Иисусе:
6 [Although] he has the same nature as God has, he did not insist on keeping all the privileges of being equal with God.
Он, будучи образом Божиим, не почитал хищением быть равным Богу;
7 Instead, he [willingly] gave up divine privileges. [Specifically], he became a human being and took the attitude of a servant. When he had become a human being,
но уничижил Себя Самого, приняв образ раба, сделавшись подобным человекам и по виду став как человек;
8 he humbled himself [even more. Specifically], he obeyed [God] even to the extent of [being willing to] die. [He was even willing to] be nailed to a cross, [to die as though he were a criminal].
смирил Себя, быв послушным даже до смерти, и смерти крестной.
9 As a result, God promoted him [to a] rank [that] is above every [other] rank.
Посему и Бог превознес Его и дал Ему имя выше всякого имени,
10 [God did that] in order that every being [SYN] in heaven and on earth and under the earth should worship [MTY] Jesus,
дабы пред именем Иисуса преклонилось всякое колено небесных, земных и преисподних
11 and in order that every person [SYN] should declare that Jesus Christ is Lord. [As a result of everyone doing that, they will] honor God, [his] Father.
и всякий язык исповедал, что Господь Иисус Христос в славу Бога Отца.
12 My dear friends, as you consider this, since you have always obeyed [God], each of you should very reverentially [DOU] try to do those things [that are proper for people whom God has] saved. [You should do those things] not only when I am with you. [Instead, you should try] even more [to do them] now when I am not with you.
Итак, возлюбленные мои, как вы всегда были послушны, не только в присутствии моем, но гораздо более ныне во время отсутствия моего, со страхом и трепетом совершайте свое спасение,
13 [You are able to do these things], since God [himself] causes you to desire to do what he wants you to do, and he also enables you to do what he wants you to do.
потому что Бог производит в вас и хотение и действие по Своему благоволению.
14 Do everything [God or your leaders ask you to do]. Never complain about what they want you to do, or argue with them.
Все делайте без ропота и сомнения,
15 Behave like that in order that you may be completely faultless [DOU] and may be perfect children of God [DOU] while you live in the midst of people who are wicked and do very wicked things [DOU]. As you live among them, show them clearly [MET] [the way they ought to behave], just like the sun, moon, and stars [show the road clearly to us] [SIM].
чтобы вам быть неукоризненными и чистыми, чадами Божиими непорочными среди строптивого и развращенного рода, в котором вы сияете, как светила в мире,
16 Tell them how [to] have eternal life. I [ask that you do that] in order that on the day Christ [returns] I may be able to rejoice [MTY], that I did not labor [DOU] so hard among you in vain.
содержа слово жизни, к похвале моей в день Христов, что я не тщетно подвизался и не тщетно трудился.
17 Perhaps [the Roman authorities] will execute me, [and my blood will pour out] [MET] [as the] wine pours out when the priest offers it to God [MET]. [For your part], you believe [in Christ firmly]. As a result, you have given yourselves completely to God in order that you might do what he wills [MET], [just like a priest] offers a sacrifice [completely to God] [MET]. [Because I dedicate myself wholly to God] together with you, even if [they are about to execute me], I will greatly rejoice [DOU], [because I am giving myself wholly to God], and because you all [are giving yourselves wholly to God].
Но если я и соделываюсь жертвою за жертву и служение веры вашей, то радуюсь и сорадуюсь всем вам.
18 Similarly, you too should rejoice [because you are giving yourselves wholly to God], and you should rejoice because I [am giving myself wholly to God].
О сем самом и вы радуйтесь и сорадуйтесь мне.
19 My relationship with the Lord Jesus [leads me] to confidently expect that [he will enable me] to send Timothy to you soon, in order that [his telling you the news about me will encourage you. But] I also expect that [his returning to me and] telling me the news about you will encourage me.
Надеюсь же в Господе Иисусе вскоре послать к вам Тимофея, дабы и я, узнав о ваших обстоятельствах, утешился духом.
20 [Keep in mind that] I have no one [else] like him who genuinely cares for you.
Ибо я не имею никого равно усердного, кто бы столь искренно заботился о вас,
21 All the others [whom I have considered that I might send to you] are concerned [only] about their own matters. They are not concerned about what Jesus Christ [considers important].
потому что все ищут своего, а не того, что угодно Иисусу Христу.
22 But you know that Timothy has proved that he [serves the Lord and others faithfully. You know] that he has served [the Lord closely together] with me in [proclaiming to people] the message about Christ as though he were [SIM] my son and I were his [own] father.
А его верность вам известна, потому что он, как сын отцу, служил мне в благовествовании.
23 So then he is the one I confidently expect to send [to you] as soon as I know what will happen to me.
Итак я надеюсь послать его тотчас же, как скоро узнаю, что будет со мною.
24 And I am confident that I will soon be released {[the authorities will soon release me]} [so that] the Lord will enable me also to come/go [to you] soon.
Я уверен в Господе, что и сам скоро приду к вам.
25 I have concluded that it is [really] necessary that I send Epaphroditus [back] to you. He is a fellow believer and my fellow worker, and he [endures difficulties together with me] [MET], [just like] soldiers [endure difficulties together]. You sent him [to me] in order that he might help me when I was needy [EUP].
Впрочем, я почел нужным послать к вам Епафродита, брата и сотрудника и сподвижника моего, а вашего посланника и служителя в нужде моей,
26 [But I have concluded that I must send him back to you] because he has been longing to see you all. Furthermore, he has been [very] distressed because [he knows that] you heard that he had become sick.
потому что он сильно желал видеть всех вас и тяжко скорбел о том, что до вас дошел слух о его болезни.
27 Indeed, he was so sick that he almost died. However, [he did not die]. Instead, God pitied him and he also pitied me, [and as a result he healed him. God pitied me] because he did not want me to be even more sorrowful than I already was.
Ибо он был болен при смерти; но Бог помиловал его, и не его только, но и меня, чтобы не прибавилась мне печаль к печали.
28 So, I am sending him [back to you] as quickly as possible, in order that you may rejoice [when you see him again] and in order that I may be less sorrowful [than I was].
Посему я скорее послал его, чтобы вы, увидев его снова, возрадовались, и я был менее печален.
29 Welcome him very joyfully [just like believers] in [our] Lord [Jesus should welcome one another. While he was] working for Christ, he was helping me in place of you [because you were far away]. He knew that he might die as a result of helping me, and [truly] he nearly did die. So honor [him, and honor all] those who are like him.
Примите же его в Господе со всякою радостью и таких имейте в уважении,
ибо он за дело Христово был близок к смерти, подвергая опасности жизнь, дабы восполнить недостаток ваших услуг мне.
