Filipljanima 1

1 Od Pavla i Timotija, slugu Isusa Hrista, svima svetima u Hristu Isusu koji su u Filibi, s vladikama i ðakonima:

Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, —unto all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and ministers: —

2 Blagodat vam i mir od Boga oca našega i Gospoda Isusa Hrista.

Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Zahvaljujem Bogu svojemu kad se god opomenem vas,

I am giving thanks unto my God, on occasion of all my remembrance of you,

4 Svagda u svakoj molitvi svojoj za sve vas s radošæu moleæi se,

At all times, in every supplication of mine, in behalf of you all, with joy, my supplication, making, —

5 Što vi postadoste zajednièari u jevanðelju, od prvoga dana i do danas;

On account of your contribution unto the glad-message, from the first day until the present:

6 Uzdajuæi se u ovo isto da æe onaj koji je poèeo dobro djelo u vama dovršiti ga tja do dana Isusa Hrista.

Being persuaded of this very thing—that, he who hath begun in you a good work, will perfect it, until the day of Jesus Christ;

7 Kao što je pravo da ja ovo mislim za sve vas, jer vas imam u srcu u okovima svojima i u odgovoru i potvrðivanju jevanðelja, kao sve zajednièare sa mnom u blagodati.

According as it is right in me to have this regard in behalf of you all, —because ye have had me in your hearts, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad-message, all of you being, joint partakers of my favour.

8 Jer Bog mi je svjedok da vas ljubim ljubavlju Isusa Hrista,

For God is, my witness, how I long for you all in the tender affections of Christ Jesus.

9 I zato se molim Bogu da ljubav vaša još više i više izobiluje u razumu i svakoj volji,

And, this, I pray—that, your love, may be, yet more and more, pre-eminent in personal knowledge and all perception,

10 Da kušate šta je bolje, da budete èisti i bez spoticanja na dan Hristov,

To the end ye may be putting to the test the things that differ, in order that ye may be incorrupt and may give no occasion of stumbling, unto the day of Christ,

11 Napunjeni plodova pravde kroz Isusa Hrista, na slavu i hvalu Božiju.

Filled with that fruit of righteousness which is through Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God.

12 Hoæu pak da znate, braæo, da ovo što se radi sa mnom iziðe za napredak jevanðelja,

Howbeit, I am minded, brethren, that ye should be, getting to know, that, the things which relate unto myself, rather, unto an advancement of the glad-message, have fallen out,

13 Tako da se razglasi u svoj sudnici i kod sviju ostalijeh da su moji okovi za Hrista.

So that, my bonds, have become manifest in Christ, in the whole palace, and unto all the rest, —

14 I mnoga braæa u Gospodu oslobodivši se okovima mojima veæma smiju govoriti rijeè Božiju bez straha.

And [so that], the most of the brethren in the Lord, assured by my bonds, are becoming more abundantly bold to be fearlessly speaking the word of God: —

15 Istina, jedni iz zavisti i svaðe, a jedni od dobre volje Hrista propovijedaju.

Some, indeed, by reason of envy and strife—some, however, by reason of good will—are proclaiming, the Christ:

16 Tako ovi uz prkos Hrista objavljuju neèisto, misleæi da æe nanijeti žalost mojijem okovima;

These, indeed, out of love, knowing that, for the defence of the glad-message, I am set;

17 A ovi iz ljubavi, znajuæi da za obranu jevanðelja ležim u tamnici.

But, those, out of faction, are declaring, the Christ, not purely—supposing to rouse up, tribulation, with my bonds.

18 Šta dakle? Bilo kako mu drago, dvolièenjem ili istinom, Hristos se propovijeda; i zato se radujem, a i radovaæu se;

What then? That, in any way, whether in pretext, or in truth, Christ, is declared, and, in this, I rejoice—yea, and will rejoice!

19 Jer znam da æe mi se ovo zbiti na spasenije vašom molitvom i pomoæu Duha Isusa Hrista.

For I know that, this, shall turn unto me for salvation—through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, —

20 Kao što èekam i nadam se da se ni u èemu neæu postidjeti, nego da æe se i sad kao svagda sa svakom slobodom Hristos velièati u tijelu mojemu, bilo životom ili smræu.

According to my eager outlook and hope, that, in nothing, shall I be put to shame, but, with all freedom of speech, as always, now also, shall Christ be magnified in my body, whether through means of life, or of death.

21 Jer je meni život Hristos a smrt dobitak.

For, unto me—living, is Christ, and, dying, gain.

22 A kad mi življenje u tijelu plod donosi, to ne znam šta æu izabrati.

But, if living in flesh, [is Christ], this, unto me, is a fruit of work, —and, what I shall choose, I make not known:

23 A oboje mi je milo, imajuæi želju otiæi i s Hristom biti, koje bi mnogo bolje bilo;

I am held in constraint, however, by reason of the two, —having, the coveting, to be released, and to be with, Christ, for it were far better!

24 Ali ostati u tijelu potrebnije je vas radi.

But, to abide still in the flesh, is more needful for your sake;

25 I ovo znam jamaèno da æu biti i ostati kod sviju vas na vaš napredak i radost vjere,

And, of, this, being assured, know that I shall abide, —yea abide with you all, for your advancement, and the joy of your faith;

26 Da hvala vaša mnome izobiluje u Hristu Isusu kad vam opet doðem.

In order that, your matter of boasting, may be more abundant in Christ Jesus, regarding me, through my own presence again with you.

27 Samo živite kao što se pristoji jevanðelju Hristovu, da vas vidim kad doðem ili ako vam ne doðem da èujem za vas da stojite u jednome duhu i jednodušno borite se za vjeru jevanðelja,

Only, in a manner worthy of the glad-message of the Christ, be using your citizenship; in order that—whether coming and seeing you, or being absent, I may hear of the things which concern you—that ye are standing fast in one spirit, with one soul, joining for the combat along with the faith of the glad-message;

28 I ni u èem da se ne plašite od protivnika; koje je njima znak pogibli a vama spasenija, i to od Boga;

And not being affrighted in anything by the opposers, —the which, is, unto them, a token of destruction, although of your salvation, and this from God;

29 Jer se vama darova Hrista radi ne samo da ga vjerujete nego i da stradate za nj,

Because, unto you, hath it been given as a favour, in behalf of Christ, not only, on him, to believe, but also, in his behalf, to suffer: —

30 Imajuæi onu istu borbu kakovu u meni vidjeste i sad èujete za mene.

Having, the same contest, which ye have seen in me, and now hear to be in me.
