ピリピ人への手紙 4
1 この故に我が愛するところ慕ふところの兄弟、われの喜悦われの冠冕たる愛する者よ、斯くのごとく主にありて堅く立て。
My fellow believers, I love you, and I long for you. You make me happy [MTY], and I am (proud of/pleased with) you. Dear friends, on the basis [of all that I have told you], continue to believe firmly in the Lord doing what I have just taught you.
2 我ユウオデヤに勸めスントケに勸む、主にありて心を同じうせんことを。
I urge [you(sg)], Euodia, and I urge [you(sg)], Syntyche, to again have a peaceful relationship with each other, [because you both have a relationship with] the Lord.
3 また眞實に我と軛を共にする者よ、なんぢに求む。この二人の女を助けよ。彼らはクレメンス其のほか生命の書に名を録されたる我が同勞者と同じく、福音のために我とともに勤めたり。
And, my faithful comrade/partner, I request that you [(sg)] help them [to again have a peaceful relationship with each other], because they have [faithfully proclaimed] the message [about Christ] together with me, [even though many people] have opposed us [(exc)]. They have faithfully proclaimed that message together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names [are] in the book [in which God has written the names of all those people who will] live [forever].
4 汝ら常に主にありて喜べ、我また言ふ、なんぢら喜べ。
[Because you have a relationship with] the Lord, always rejoice! I’m saying it again, rejoice!
5 凡ての人に汝らの寛容を知らしめよ、主は近し。
[Act in such a way that] everyone can know that you are gentle. The Lord is coming soon.
6 何事をも思ひ煩ふな、ただ事ごとに祈をなし、願をなし、感謝して汝らの求を神に告げよ。
Do not worry about anything. Instead, in every situation, pray [to God], tell him what you need, and ask him [to help you] [DOU]. Also thank [him for what he does for you].
7 さらば凡て人の思にすぐる神の平安は、汝らの心と思とをキリスト・イエスによりて守らん。
As a result, God will enable you not to worry [about anything] [MTY] (OR, God will protect your minds [in every way]) [PRS]. [That is], he will cause you to have [inner] peace [because you have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. You will not be able to understand [PRS] [how you can be so peaceful in such difficult circumstances!]!
8 終に言はん、兄弟よ、凡そ眞なること、凡そ尊ぶべきこと、凡そ正しきこと、凡そ潔よきこと、凡そ愛すべきこと、凡そ令聞あること、如何なる徳いかなる譽にても、汝 等これを念へ。
My fellow believers, there is one more thing I [want you to do]. Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is right, whatever is morally pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is admirable, whatever is good, whatever [deserves] praise, those are the things that you should continually think about.
9 なんぢら我に學びしところ、受けしところ、聞きしところ、見し所を皆おこなへ、さらば平和の神なんぢらと偕に在さん。
Those things that I have taught you and that you have learned from me, those things that you have heard me [say] and that you have seen me [do], those are the things that you yourselves should continually do. As a result [of your doing those things], God, the one who [causes us to] have [inner] peace, will (be with/bless) you.
10 汝らが我を思ふ心の今また萠したるを、われ主にありて甚く喜ぶ。汝らは固より我を思ひゐたるなれど、機を得ざりしなり。
I rejoice greatly [and thank] the Lord because now, after some time, [by sending money to me] you have once again shown that you are concerned about me [EUP]. Indeed, you were concerned about me [all the time], but you had no opportunity [to show that you were concerned about me].
11 われ窮乏によりて之を言ふにあらず、我は如何なる状に居るとも、足ることを學びたればなり。
I am saying this not because I [am concerned that I] lack things [that I need]. In fact, I have learned to be content in whatever [situation] I am.
12 我は卑賤にをる道を知り、富にをる道を知る。また飽くことにも、飢うることにも、富むことにも、乏しき事にも、一切の秘訣を得たり。
[Specifically], I know how [to be content when] I do not have what I need, and I know how [to be content when] I have plenty. I have learned how [to be content] in any and every [situation] [DOU]. [Specifically], I have learned how [to be content when] I have enough to eat, and I have learned how [to be content when] I do not have enough to eat. I have learned how [to be content when] I have plenty [DOU] [of what I need], and I have learned [how to be content when] I lack [things].
13 我を強くし給ふ者によりて、凡ての事をなし得るなり。
I am able (to cope with/to handle) every situation because [Christ] gives me the strength to do that.
14 されど汝らが我が患難に與りしは善き事なり。
Nevertheless, you did very well by [helping me] (OR, [giving me money]) [EUP] while I have been suffering hardship.
15 ピリピ人よ、汝らも知る、わが汝らに福音を傳ふる始、マケドニヤを離れ去るとき、授受して我が事に與りしは、汝 等のみにして、他の教會には無かりき。
[My friends there at Philippi], you yourselves know that when I first [proclaimed] the message about Christ [to you], and then left there to go to Macedonia [province], you were the only group of believers [LIT] who [sent me] gifts [EUP] in order that I might [proclaim that message] to others just like I did for you.
16 汝らは我がテサロニケに居りし時に、一度ならず二度までも我が窮乏に物 贈れり。
Even [when I was] in Thessalonica [city], you sent [money] [EUP] to me two different times [IDM] in order to [supply] what I needed.
17 これ贈物を求むるにあらず、唯なんぢらの益となる實の繁からんことを求むるなり。
I say this, not because I desire that you give me money now. Instead, I desire that [God] will abundantly bless [MET] you as a result of [your helping me].
18 我には凡ての物そなはりて餘あり、既にエパフロデトより汝らの贈物を受けたれば、飽き足れり。これは馨しき香にして神の享け給ふところ、喜びたまふ所の供物なり。
But I have received a very generous [gift] [EUP] [from you], and [as a result], I have plenty. I have an abundant supply [of what I need because] I have received from Epaphroditus the money [EUP] that you [sent to me]. God considers that your gift is very acceptable, and he is very pleased with it. [Your gift is like] a nice-smelling sacrifice [MET].
19 かくてわが神は己の富に隨ひ、キリスト・イエスによりて汝らの凡ての窮乏を榮光のうちに補ひ給はん。
[Moreover], God, [whom] I [serve], has an unlimited supply [of everything that we(inc) need]. And as a result, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, he will completely supply everything that you need.
[So], praise God our Father forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn g165)
21 汝らキリスト・イエスに在りて聖徒おのおのに安否を問へ、我と偕にある兄弟たち汝らに安否を問ふ。
Greet [for me/us(exc)] all of God’s people [there, that is, all those who have a relationship with] Christ Jesus. The fellow believers who [serve God together] with me here send their greetings to you (OR, say they are thinking fondly of you).
22 凡ての聖徒、殊にカイザルの家のもの、汝らに安否を問ふ。
All of God’s people [here] send their greetings to you. Especially the [fellow believers who work] in the palace of the emperor send their greetings to you.
23 願はくは主イエス・キリストの恩惠、なんぢらの靈と偕に在らんことを。
My desire is [that our] Lord Jesus Christ [will continue to] act kindly toward you all [SYN].
