Philippians 4
1 Therefore, my beloved brothers whom I long for, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, beloved friends.
Derfor, mine Brødre, elskede og savnede, min Glæde og Krans! står således fast i Herren, I elskede!
2 I am pleading with Euodia, and I am pleading with Syntyche, be of the same mind in the Lord.
Evodia formaner jeg, og Syntyke formaner jeg til at være enige i Herren.
3 Yes, I ask you, my true companion, to help these women who labored with me in spreading the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.
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.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice.
Glæder eder i Herren altid; atter siger jeg: glæder eder!
5 Let your gentleness be known to all people. The Lord is near.
Eders milde Sind vorde kendt af alle Mennesker! Herren er nær!
6 Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be known to God,
Værer ikke bekymrede for noget, men lader i alle Ting eders Begæringer komme frem for Gud i Påkaldelse og Bøn med Taksigelse;
7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
og Guds Fred, som overgår al Forstand, skal bevare eders Hjerter og eders Tanker i Kristus Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is anything excellent, if there is anything to be praised, think about 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 på Sinde!
9 The things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Hvad I både have lært og modtaget og hørt og set på mig, dette skulle I gøre, og Fredens Gud skal være med eder.
10 I greatly rejoice in the Lord because now at last you have renewed your concern for me. You had indeed been concerned for me before, but there was no opportunity for you to help.
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.
11 I am not saying this because I am in need. For I have learned to be content in all circumstances.
Dette siger jeg ikke af Trang; thi jeg har lært at nøjes med det, jeg har.
12 I know what it is to be poor, and I also know what it is to have plenty. In every way and in all things I have learned the secret of how to be well-fed or to be hungry, and how to have an abundance or to be in need.
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.
13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Alt formår jeg i ham, som gør mig stærk.
14 However, you did well to share with me in my difficulties.
Dog gjorde I vel i at tage Del i min Trængsel.
15 You Philippians know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church supported me in the matter of giving and receiving except you alone.
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.
16 Even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent help for my needs more than once.
Thi endog i Thessalonika sendte I mig både een og to Gange, hvad jeg havde nødig.
17 It is not that I seek the gift. Instead, I seek the fruit that increases to your credit.
Ikke at jeg attrår Gaven, men jeg attrår den Frugt, som bliver rigelig til eders Fordel.
18 I have received everything in full, and even more. I have been well-supplied now that I have received from Epaphroditus the things you sent. They are a sweet-smelling aroma, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing 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 My God will meet all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Men min Gud skal efter sin Rigdom fuldelig give eder alt, hvad I have nødig, i Herlighed i Kristus Jesus.
Men ham, vor Gud og Fader, være Æren i Evigheders Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Greet every believer in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
Hilser hver hellig i Kristus Jesus.
22 All the believers here greet you, especially those of Caesar's household.
De Brødre, som ere hos mig, hilse eder. Alle de hellige hilse eder, men mest de af Kejserens Hus.
23 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Den Herres Jesu Kristi Nåde være med eders Ånd!
