Filipperbrevet 4
1 Så, mine käre och önskade bröder, min fröjd och min krona, blifver så ståndande i Herranom, mine älskelige.
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 Evodiam förmanar jag, och Syntychen förmanar jag, att de äro ens till sinnes i Herranom.
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 Ja, jag beder ock dig, min rättsinniga make, var dem behjelpelig, som med mig öfver Evangelium stridt hafva, samt med Clement, och andra mina medarbetare, hvilkas namn äro uti lifsens bok.
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 Fröjder eder i Herranom alltid; och åter säger jag: Fröjder eder.
[Because you have a relationship with] the Lord, always rejoice! I’m saying it again, rejoice!
5 Edor saktmodighet låter allom menniskom kunnoga varda. Herren är när.
[Act in such a way that] everyone can know that you are gentle. The Lord is coming soon.
6 Hafver ingen omsorg; utan edart begär vare kunnigt inför Gud, i all ting, med bön, åkallan, och tacksägelse.
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 Och Guds frid, som öfvergår allt förstånd, förvare edor hjerta, och edart sinne, i Christo Jesu.
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 Yttermera, käre bröder, hvad sant är, hvad ärligit är, hvad rätt, hvad kyskt, hvad ljufligit, hvad väl lyder; är någor dygd, och är något lof, tänker derefter.
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 Hvad I ock lärt, och undfått, och hört, och sett hafven på mig, det görer; och så varder fridsens Gud med eder.
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 Men jag är storliga fröjdad i Herranom, att I ären åter komne dertill, att I hafven omsorg om mig; ändock I väl allstädes omsorg haft hafven; men tiden sade icke så till.
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 Detta säger jag icke derföre, att mig något fattas; ty jag hafver lärt, ibland dem jag umgår, låta mig nöja.
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 Jag kan låg vara; jag kan ock hög vara; allestäds och i all ting är jag skickelig, både mätt och hungrig vara, både nog hafva och nöd lida.
[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 All ting förmår jag, genom Christum, som mig mägtigan gör.
I am able (to cope with/to handle) every situation because [Christ] gives me the strength to do that.
14 Dock hafven I rätt gjort, att I hafven tagit eder min bedröfvelse till.
Nevertheless, you did very well by [helping me] (OR, [giving me money]) [EUP] while I have been suffering hardship.
15 Veten I ock väl, I Philipper, att af första Evangelii begynnelse, då jag drog utu Macedonien, ingen församling hafver något delat med mig, efter räkenskap, i utgift och uppbörd, utan I allena;
[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 Ty I sänden ena reso, och så andra, till mig i Thessalonica, till min nödtorft.
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 Icke att jag söker sådana skänker; utan söker derefter, att uti edar räkenskap skall en öfverflödig frukt finnas.
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 Ty jag hafver allt, och öfverflödar, och är uppfylld, sedan jag undfick, med Epaphroditus, det som ifrån eder sändt var, en söt lukt, ett offer, Gudi täckt och anammeligit.
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 Men min Gud skall eder uppfylla alla edra nödtorft, efter sina rikedomar i härlighetene, genom Christum Jesum.
[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 Helser all helgon i Christo Jesu. Eder helsa de bröder, som med mig äro.
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 Eder helsa all helgon, enkannerliga de, som äro utaf Kejsarens hus.
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 Vårs Herras Jesu Christi nåd vare med eder allom. Amen.
My desire is [that our] Lord Jesus Christ [will continue to] act kindly toward you all [SYN].
