Pāvila Vēstule Filipiešiem 1
1 Pāvils un Timotejs, Jēzus Kristus kalpi, visiem tiem svētiem iekš Kristus Jēzus, kas ir Filipos, un arī tiem bīskapiem un palīgiem:
[I], Paul, and Timothy, [who is with me, are] men who serve Christ Jesus. I [am writing this letter] to all [of you who are] pastors and deacons in Philippi [city] and to the rest of God’s people [there who have a close relationship] with Christ Jesus.
2 Žēlastība lai ir jums un miers no Dieva, mūsu Tēva, un no Tā Kunga Jēzus Kristus.
[We both] (OR, [I]) [pray that] God, [who is] our Father, and Jesus Christ, [who is our] Lord, [will continue to] be kind to you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.
3 Es pateicos savam Dievam, cikkārt jūs pieminu,
I thank my God whenever I think about you.
4 Arvienu ikkatrā lūgšanā par jums visiem ar līksmību lūgdamies,
Every time [DOU] I pray [for you], I joyfully pray [DOU] for all of you.
5 Jūsu biedrības dēļ pie evaņģēlija no pirmās dienas līdz šim laikam;
I [thank God and rejoice] because you have been [working] together with me in order to [make known] the good message about Christ. [You started doing that] when you first [MTY] [believed it, and you have continued doing it] until now.
6 To īpaši cerēdams, ka Tas, kas to labo darbu iekš jums iesācis, to pabeigs līdz Jēzus Kristus dienai.
I am completely confident that [God], who has begun to do in you what is good, (OR, that since [God] has begun to do in you what is good, he) will continue to do that until he finishes doing it on the day Christ Jesus [MTY] [returns].
7 Tā man piederas par jums visiem domāt, tādēļ ka es jūs turu savā sirdī, gan iekš savām saitēm, gan iekš savas aizbildināšanās un evaņģēlija apstiprināšanas, jūs visus, kam līdz ar mani ir daļa pie tās žēlastības.
During this time that I have been a prisoner [MTY] and during the times I was previously able to defend the good message about Christ and proved/confirmed [to others] that it is true, all of you have been sharing with me (OR, have helped me) in this work [that God] kindly gave [to me to do. So] indeed it is right that I feel joyful about you all, because you are very dear [IDM] to me.
8 Jo Dievs ir mans liecinieks, cik ļoti es pēc jums visiem ilgojos ar Jēzus Kristus sirds mīlestību.
God [can] verify that Christ Jesus causes me to [love and] long for all of you very much, [just like] Christ loves [you].
9 Un par to es Dievu lūdzu, ka jūsu mīlestība jo dienas vairotos iekš atzīšanas un visas samanīšanas,
And what I pray [for you] is that [God will enable] you to truly know and learn how to love [one another] more and more in every situation.
10 Ka jūs varat pārbaudīt to, kas labs un kas ļauns, lai jūs esat skaidri un nepiedauzīgi uz Kristus dienu,
[And I pray that he will enable] you to completely understand [how you should believe and act]. I [pray this] in order that you might be [spiritually] pure and faultless (OR, completely faultless [DOU]) on the day that Christ [returns] [MTY],
11 Piepildīti ar taisnības augļiem, kas ir caur Jēzu Kristu, Dievam par godu un slavu.
[and in order that] you might conduct your lives [IDM] completely righteously as a result of Jesus Christ [enabling you to do so], in order that [people will] honor God and praise him (OR, [people will] praise God very much [DOU]).
12 Bet es gribu, ka jūs zināt, brāļi, ka tas, kas man ir noticis, jo vairāk ir izdevies evaņģēlijam par pieaugšanu;
My fellow believers, I want you to know that the [troubles] I have experienced [have not prevented me from proclaiming the good message to people. Instead], [these things that I have experienced] have enabled even more people to hear the good message [about Christ].
13 Tā, ka manas saites ir tapušas zināmas iekš Kristus visā tiesas namā un visiem tiem citiem,
[Specifically], all the military guards who are stationed [here in Rome] and many other [HYP] [people in this city] [HYP] now know that I am a prisoner [MTY] because I [proclaim the good news] about Christ.
14 Un ka daudz no tiem brāļiem iekš Tā Kunga, caur manām saitēm iedrošināti, jo vairāk uzdrīkstas to vārdu runāt bez bailības.
Also, most of the believers [here now] proclaim the message from God more courageously and fearlessly [because] they trust the Lord [more firmly to help them. They trust the Lord more] because [they have seen how the Lord has helped me] while I have been a prisoner [MTY] [here].
15 Citi gan sludina Kristu arī ar skaudību un strīdu, bet citi arī ar labu prātu.
Some people proclaim [the message about Christ as I do] because they are happy [with my work]. They proclaim [the message about] Christ because they love [me and because] they know that [God] has placed me [here] to defend the message about Christ [CHI].
16 Kas to dara ar strīdu, tie Kristu sludina ne no skaidras sirds, un domā manām saitēm bēdas pielikt;
17 Bet kas to dara no mīlestības, tie to dara zinādami, ka es esmu likts par evaņģēlija aizstāvētāju.
Others proclaim [the message about] Christ because they envy [me] and oppose [me]. They proclaim the message about Christ because they have wrong motives. They [wrongly] assume [that because they are causing many people to follow them, I will be jealous, and as a result], I will feel more miserable while I am a prisoner [MTY] [here].
18 Kas par to? Taču Kristus top sludināts visādā vīzē, lai nu ar neskaidru, lai ar patiesīgu sirdi; par to es priecājos un priecāšos.
But it does not matter whether [people proclaim the message about Christ] because they have wrong motives, or whether [people proclaim the message about Christ] because they have right motives. The important thing in either case is that [the message about] Christ is being proclaimed {people are proclaiming [the message about] Christ}. And because of that I rejoice! Philippians 1:18b-26 Furthermore, I will continue to rejoice,
19 Jo es zinu, ka tas man par svētību izdosies caur jūsu lūgšanu un caur Jēzus Kristus Gara palīdzību,
because when I experience troubles, I know that some day God will say that he approves [of what I have done] (OR, that [the Roman authorities] will set me free). [This will happen] as a result of your praying for me, and [as a result] of [God’s] Spirit, whom Jesus Christ gave me, helping me.
20 Pēc manas sirsnīgas gaidīšanas un cerības, ka es nekādā lietā nepalikšu kaunā, bet ka ar visu drošību, tā kā arvien, tā arī tagad, Kristus taps paaugstināts pie manām miesām, vai caur dzīvību vai caur nāvi.
I [know that this will happen] because I very confidently expect [DOU] that I will faithfully honor Christ. I expect that like I always [have done], Christ will be greatly honored {I will continue now also to very boldly honor Christ} by means of all that I do [SYN, MTY], whether by [the way I] live or [by the way I] die.
21 Jo mana dzīvība ir Kristus, un miršana man nes augļus.
As for me, I live [in order to honor] Christ. But if I die, it will be better [for me than if I continue to live, because then I will be with him].
22 Bet ja miesā dzīvot manam darbam ir par labu, tad, ko man būs vēlēties, to nezinu.
On the other hand, if I continue to live, that will enable me to continue to serve [Christ] effectively. As a result, I do not know which to choose.
23 Jo es topu spiests abējādi, man gribās tapt atraisītam un būt pie Kristus, - jo tas ir ļoti daudz labāki;
That is, I am not sure which of those two I [prefer]. I long to leave [this world] and [go to] be with Christ, because that will be very much better [for me].
24 Bet miesā palikt ir vēl jo vajadzīgi jūsu dēļ.
Nevertheless, it is more important that I remain alive [than that I go to be with Christ because] you still need [me to help you].
25 Un to ticēdams es zinu, ka es palikšu un pie jums visiem palikšu jums par pieaugšanu un ticības līksmību,
Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain [alive] and that I will [go/come to] be with you all. [As a result], you will believe [in Christ] more firmly, and [as a result of that], you will rejoice.
26 Ka jūsu slavēšana iekš Kristus Jēzus par mani vairojās caur to, ka es atkal pie jums nākšu.
[That is], you will be able to rejoice very greatly because of Christ Jesus [bringing] me [to be with you again].
27 Tikai turaties cienīgi pēc Kristus evaņģēlija, ka es, vai nākdams un jūs redzēdams, vai pie jums nebūdams, varu dzirdēt, ka jūs stāvat vienā garā, vienā prātā kopā cīnīdamies par evaņģēlija ticību,
Most importantly, as fellow [believers in Christ], conduct yourselves just like [you learned you should do when you heard] the message about Christ. Do that in order that whether I come and see you, or whether [I am away from you and] people tell me about you, [what I hear or see will make me happy]. They will tell me that you are unitedly and cooperatively resisting [those who oppose the message about Christ] (OR, [oppose you]). I [will know] that you are not allowing others to influence you to believe a message that is different from the gospel [about Christ].
28 Un ka jūs nekādā lietā netopat iztrūcināti no tiem pretiniekiem; jo tas tiem ir par zīmi, ka pazudīs, bet jums, ka tapsiet izglābti, un tas ir no Dieva.
And I [will know] that you are not at all frightened by {afraid of} the people who oppose you. This will show/prove to those people that [God] will destroy them, but this will show/prove to you that [God] will save you eternally. It is God who is doing [all] this.
29 Jo jums tā žēlastība ir dota Kristus dēļ, ne vien uz Viņu ticēt, bet arīdzan par Viņu ciest, -
Remember that he has not only kindly enabled you to believe in Christ, [he] has also kindly allowed you to suffer for the sake of Christ.
30 To pašu cīnīšanos cīnīdamies, ko pie manis esat redzējuši un tagad no manis dzirdat.
[As a result], you are [having to] resist [those who oppose the good message], just like you saw that I [had to] resist [such people there in Philippi], and just like you hear that I [still have to resist such people here] now.
