Philippians 3

1 Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

A dalje, braæo moja, radujte se u Gospodu. Jer sve jedno da vam pišem meni nije dosadno, a vama je potrebno.

2 Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.

Èuvajte se od pasa, èuvajte se od zlijeh poslenika, èuvajte se od sijeèenja.

3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

Jer mi smo obrezanje koji duhom Bogu služimo i hvalimo se Hristom Isusom, a ne uzdamo se u tijelo.

4 though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

Premda bih se i ja mogao uzdati u tijelo. Ako ko drugi misli da se može uzdati u tijelo, ja još veæma,

5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

Koji sam obrezan osmi dan, od roda Izrailjeva, koljena Venijaminova, Jevrejin od Jevreja, po zakonu farisej.

6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

Po revnosti gonih crkvu Božiju, po pravdi zakonskoj bih bez mane.

7 However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.

No što mi bješe dobitak ono primih za štetu Hrista radi.

8 Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

Jer sve držim za štetu prema prevažnome poznanju Hrista Isusa Gospoda svojega, kojega radi sve ostavih, i držim sve da su trice, samo da Hrista dobijem,

9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,

I da se naðem u njemu, ne imajuæi svoje pravde koja je od zakona, nego koja je od vjere Isusa Hrista, pravdu koja je od Boga u vjeri;

10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,

Da poznam njega i silu vaskrsenija njegova i zajednicu njegovijeh muka, da budem nalik na smrt njegovu,

11 if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Da bih kako dostigao u vaskrsenije mrtvijeh;

12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

Ne kao da veæ dostigoh ili se veæ savrših, nego tjeram ne bih li dostigao kao što me dostiže Hristos Isus.

13 Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before,

Braæo! ja još ne mislim da sam dostigao; jedno pak velim: što je ostrag zaboravljam, a za onijem što je naprijed sežem se,

14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

I trèim k biljezi, k daru gornjega zvanja Božijega u Hristu Isusu.

15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

Koji smo god dakle savršeni ovako da mislimo; ako li što drugo mislite, i ovo æe vam Bog otkriti.

16 Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let’s walk by the same rule. Let’s be of the same mind.

Ali šta dostigosmo u onome jednako da mislimo, i po onome pravilu da živimo.

17 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.

Ugledajte se na mene, braæo, i gledajte na one koji tako žive kao što nas imate za ugled.

18 For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,

Jer mnogi hode, za koje vam mnogo puta govorih, a sad i plaèuæi govorim, neprijatelji krsta Hristova;

19 whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.

Kojima je svršetak pogibao, kojima je Bog trbuh, i slava u sramu njihovu, koji zemaljski misle.

20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Jer je naše življenje na nebesima, otkuda i spasitelja oèekujemo Gospoda svojega Isusa Hrista,

21 who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

Koji æe preobraziti naše poniženo tijelo da bude jednako tijelu slave njegove, po sili da može sve sebi pokoriti.
