Philippians 3
1 [Now there are] other things [that I want to write about]. My fellow believers, continue to rejoice because [you belong to] the Lord. [Though] I will [now] write to you about those same matters [that I mentioned to you before, this is] not tiresome for me, and it will protect you [from those who would harm you spiritually].
Nəhayət, qardaşlarım, Rəbdə sevinin! Sizə eyni şeyləri yazmaq məni yormaz, amma sizi qoruyar.
2 Beware of those [people who are dangerous] [MET] [like wild] dogs. They are [dangerous] evildoers [DOU]. Beware of them [since they are like people who] cut [other people’s] bodies [MET]. [They will harm you spiritually by insisting that you must let someone circumcise you in order for you to become God’s people] [MTY, MET].
Özünüzü «itlər»dən qoruyun, pis iş görənlərdən qoruyun, bədəni sünnət edərək kəsib-atanlardan qoruyun.
3 [Those people think that they are God’s people because someone has circumcised them]. But we, [not they], are [truly God’s people] [MET], [whether or not someone has] circumcised [us]. God’s Spirit [enables us to] [MTY] worship [God]; we praise Christ Jesus [because he has enabled us to become the people of God]. We do not believe [that God will consider/make us his people as a result of what someone has done to our] bodies [MTY, SYN].
Çünki əsl sünnətlilər Allahın Ruhu vasitəsilə ibadət edən, Məsih İsa ilə fəxr edən və cismani şeylərə güvənməyən bizlərik.
4 [We do not trust in those rituals to make us acceptable to God], although I could very well do that [if it would be useful for me]. Philippians 3:4b-6 [In fact], [if I could benefit from it for my salvation], I could rely upon what I have done and who I am [MTY, SYN] more than anyone else could! I will tell you why.
Əslində mən cismani şeylərə də güvənə bilərdim. Əgər başqası cismani şeylərə güvənməyi düşünürsə, mən daha çox güvənə bilərəm.
5 I [was circumcised] {[Someone] circumcised me} when I was one week old. I am from the people of Israel. I am from the tribe of Benjamin. I am completely Hebrew in every way. [While I was] a member of the Pharisee [sect], I [strictly obeyed] the laws [that God gave Moses].
Mən səkkizgünlük ikən sünnət olundum. İsrail nəslindən, Binyamin qəbiləsindən, İbranilərdən törəmiş bir İbraniyəm. Qanuna münasibətdə farisey idim.
6 I was [so] zealous [to make people obey those laws that] I caused the people who believe in Christ to suffer [because I thought they were trying to abolish those laws. Indeed], as far as my obeying those laws is concerned, no [one could] have accused [me by] saying that I had disobeyed any of those laws.
Qeyrət çəkməyə gəlincə, Allahın cəmiyyətini təqib edirdim. Qanuna əsaslanan salehliyə gəlincə, nöqsansız idim.
7 Nevertheless, all such things as those, which I used to [consider to] be useful to me, those [very] things I now consider worthless, because I [want to know] Christ (OR, in order that I [may know] Christ).
Amma mənə fayda gətirən nə varsa, Məsih uğrunda ziyan saymışam.
8 More than that, I consider all things to be worthless, compared to how great it is to know Christ Jesus my Lord. Because I [want to know] him [better] (OR, In order that I [may know] him [better]), I have rejected all things as worthless. I consider them [as useless as] [MET] rubbish, in order that I may have [a close relationship with] Christ [MET],
Bundan əlavə, Rəbbim Məsih İsanı tanımağın ali dəyərinin yanında hər şeyi ziyan hesab edirəm. Onun uğrunda var-yoxumu atıb tullantı sayıram ki, Məsihi qazanıb
9 and in order that I may completely belong to him. It was not as a result of [my obeying] the laws [he gave Moses] that God erased the record of my sins. Instead, it is because I have trusted in Christ [that God] has declared that I am no longer guilty for my sins, and he enables me to act righteously. [It is] God [himself who] has erased the record of my sins, and he enables me to act righteously, [only] because I have trusted [in Christ].
Onda hesab olunum. Belə ki Qanunla gələn öz salehliyimə deyil, Məsihə imandan yaranan, imanla Allahdan gələn salehliyə malik olum.
10 I [want] to know Christ [better and better]. Particularly, I [want] to continually experience [his working] powerfully in my life, [just like God worked powerfully when he] caused Christ to become alive after he died. I [also want to be continually willing] to suffer [in order that I may obey God], just like Christ suffered [in order that he might obey God. I also want] to be completely willing to die for [Christ], even as he died for me,
Belə ki Məsihi və Onun dirilmə qüdrətini, əzablarına şərikliyi də dərk edim və Onun ölümündə Ona bənzəyim ki,
11 [because I expect that, as a result of God’s goodness], he will cause me to live again after I have died.
nə olursa-olsun, ölülər arasından dirilməyə nail olum.
12 I do not claim that I have already become completely like Christ Jesus; that is, I have not already become all that God intends me to be [DOU]. But I earnestly try to become [more and more like Christ], because he chose me [in order that I might become like him].
Demirəm ki, indi bunlara malik olmuşam və yaxud kamilləşmişəm. Amma hədəfdən tutmaq üçün qaçıram. Çünki Məsih İsa məni bu məqsəd üçün tutub.
13 My fellow believers, I certainly do not consider that I have already become completely like Christ. But I [am like a runner. A runner does not look backward] [MET]. Instead, he leans/stretches forward as he runs straight toward the goal [in order that he might win the race and get the prize. Similarly], I do not think about what I have already done.
Qardaşlar, hesab etmirəm ki, bunu tutmuşam. Yalnız bir şey edirəm: arxada qalanları unudub qarşımda olana çatmaq üçün cəhd edirəm
14 Instead, I concentrate only on [continuing to become more and more like Christ right up to the end of my life] [MET]. As a result, because of my relationship with Christ Jesus, God will call/summon me to receive a reward from him [in heaven].
və hədəfə doğru qaçıram ki, mükafatı alım, yəni Allahın Məsih İsada yuxarıya çağırışına nail olum.
15 So, all of us who are [spiritually] mature should think this [same way]. If any [of you] do not think this same way regarding what I [have written here], God will reveal that to you.
Beləliklə, aramızda kim kamildirsə, qoy belə düşünsün. Hər hansı bir mövzuda fərqli düşüncələriniz varsa, Allah bunu da sizə açacaq.
16 What is important is that we must conduct our lives according to what [God has already revealed to] us.
Ancaq çatdığımız səviyyəyə uyğun həyat sürək.
17 My fellow believers, [all of] you should follow my example, and observe those people who act as I do, [in order that you may imitate them also].
Qardaşlar, hamınız birlikdə məndən nümunə götürün və sizə göstərdiyimiz nümunəyə uyğun həyat sürənlərə diqqətlə baxın.
18 [Keep in mind that] there are many people [who say that they believe in Christ, but] who act [in such a way that shows] that they are opposed to [the teaching about] Christ [dying on] the cross [MTY]. I have told you about those people many times [before], and now I am sad, even crying, as I tell you [about them again].
Sizə dəfələrlə söylədiyim kimi indi də göz yaşları içində təkrar deyirəm: bir çoxları Məsihin çarmıxına düşmən olaraq həyat sürür.
19 [God] will severely punish them. The things their bodies desire [MTY] have become [like] gods to them [MET]. They are proud of the things they should be ashamed of. They think only about what unbelievers [MTY] think about.
Onların sonu həlakdır. Onların allahı qarınlarıdır. Öz rüsvayçılıqları ilə fəxr edir, yalnız dünyəvi şeylər barədə düşünürlər.
20 [But remember] that we are citizens of heaven. And we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, [to return] from there.
Bizsə səma vətəndaşlarıyıq və oradan Xilaskar olan Rəbb İsa Məsihi həvəslə gözləyirik.
21 By the power that enables him to put everything under his own control, he will change our weak bodies to become like his glorious body.
O hər şeyi Özünə tabe etməyə qadir olan qüvvəsinin təsiri ilə bizim yazıq bədənimizi dəyişdirib Öz izzətli bədəninə bənzər hala gətirəcək.
