Pāvila Vēstule Filipiešiem 2
1 Ja tad nu ir kāda pamācīšana iekš Kristus, ja tad ir mīlestības iepriecināšana, ja tad ir Tā Gara biedrība, ja tad ir sirds žēlastība un apžēlošana,
If, then, any encouragement comes through union with Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love, if there is any communion with the Spirit, if there is any tenderness or pity,
2 Tad darāt manu prieku pilnīgu, ka jums ir viens prāts, viena mīlestība, viena sirds un dvēsele;
I entreat you to make my happiness complete – live together animated by the same spirit and in mutual love, one in heart, animated by one Spirit.
3 Un nedariet nenieka strīdēdamies vai lieku godu meklēdami, bet pazemīgi turēdami cits citu augstāku par sevi pašu.
Nothing should be done out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility lift others up above yourselves,
4 Nevienam nebūs raudzīt uz to, kas pašam der, bet ikviens lai rauga arī uz to, kas der citiem.
considering not only your own interests but also the interests of others.
5 Tāds prāts lai jums ir, kāds arī Kristum Jēzum bijis,
Let the spirit of Christ Jesus be yours also.
6 Kas Dieva ģīmī būdams neturēja par laupījumu, Dievam līdzi būt,
Though the divine nature was his from the beginning, yet he did not look on equality with God as above all things to be clung to,
7 Bet Pats Sevi ir iztukšojis un kalpa ģīmi pieņēmis un tā kā cits cilvēks tapis,
but impoverished himself by taking the nature of a servant and becoming like one of us;
8 Un cilvēka kārtā atrasts Pats Sevi pazemoja, paklausīgs palicis līdz nāvei, līdz pat krusta nāvei.
he appeared among us as a man, and still further humbled himself by submitting even to death – to death on a cross!
9 Tāpēc arī Dievs Viņu varen ir paaugstinājis un Viņam dāvinājis vārdu, kas iet pār visiem vārdiem;
And that is why God raised him to the very highest place, and gave him the name which stands above all other names,
10 Ka Jēzus vārdā būs ceļus locīt visiem tiem, kas ir debesīs un virs zemes un apakš zemes,
so that in adoration of the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven, on earth, and under the earth,
11 Un ikkatrai mēlei būs apliecināt, ka Jēzus Kristus ir Tas Kungs par godu Dievam, Tam Tēvam.
and that every tongue should acknowledge JESUS CHRIST as LORD – to the glory of God the Father.
12 Tad nu, mani mīļie, tā kā jūs allažiņ esat paklausīgi bijuši, ne tikai man klāt esot, bet nu daudz vairāk man klāt neesot, dzenaties ar bijāšanu un drebēšanu uz to, ka topat svēti.
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always been obedient in the past, so now work out your own salvation with anxious care, not only when I am with you, but all the more now that I am absent.
13 Jo Dievs ir, kas iekš jums padara gan gribēšanu, gan padarīšanu pēc Sava labā prāta.
Remember it is God who, in his kindness, is at work within you, enabling you both to will and to work.
14 Dariet visu bez kurnēšanas un šaubīšanās,
In all that you do, avoid murmuring and dissension,
15 Ka esat bezvainīgi un skaidri, nenoziedzīgi Dieva bērni niknas un netiklas tautas vidū, kur jūs spīdat tā kā spīdekļi pasaulē,
so as to prove yourselves blameless and innocent – faultless children of God, in the midst of an evil-disposed and perverse generation, in which you are seen shining like stars in a dark world,
16 Pasargādami to dzīvības vārdu man par slavu uz Kristus dienu, ka es neesmu velti tecējis, nedz velti darbojies.
offering to them the message of life; and then I will be able at the day of Christ to boast that I did not run my course for nothing, or toil for nothing.
17 Bet jebšu es topu upurēts klāt pie jūsu ticības upura un Dieva kalpošanas, taču es priecājos un līdz ar jums visiem priecājos.
And yet, even if, when your faith is offered as a sacrifice to God, my lifeblood must be poured out in addition, still I will rejoice and share the joy of you all;
18 Un par to pašu priecājaties jūs arīdzan un priecājaties līdz ar mani.
and you must also rejoice and share my joy.
19 Bet es ceru iekš Tā Kunga Jēzus, Timoteju drīz pie jums sūtīt, lai es arīdzan topu atspirdzināts, kad dabūšu zināt, kā jums klājās.
I hope, however, as one who trusts in the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may myself be cheered by receiving news of you.
20 Jo man nav neviena, kam būtu tik vienāds prāts ar mani, kas tik sirsnīgi par jums gādātu.
For I have no one but him to send – no one of kindred spirit who would take the same genuine interest in your welfare.
21 Jo tie visi meklē, kas pašiem, ne, kas Jēzum Kristum der.
They are all pursuing their own aims and not those of Christ Jesus.
22 Bet viņa pārbaudītu uzticību jūs zināt, ka viņš, tā kā tēvam dēls, līdz ar mani ir kalpojis pie evaņģēlija.
But you know what Timothy has proved himself to be, and how, like a child working for his father, he worked hard with me in spreading the good news.
23 Tad nu es ceru tūdaļ šo sūtīt, tiklīdz redzēšu, kā ar mani būs.
It is Timothy, then, whom I hope to send, just as soon as I find out what is going to happen to me here.
24 Bet to es tiešām ceru iekš Tā Kunga, ka es pats arīdzan drīz nākšu.
And I am confident, as one who trusts in the Lord Jesus, that before long I myself will follow.
25 Bet es turēju par vajadzīgu pie jums sūtīt Epafroditu, to brāli un mana darba un cīnīšanās biedri, jūsu apustuli, kas manai vajadzībai kalpojis,
Still I think it necessary to send Epaphroditus to you now, for he is my dear friend, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, and he was also your messenger to help me in my need.
26 Tādēļ ka viņš pēc jums visiem ilgojās un viņam rūpēja, ka jūs dzirdējuši, viņš esot nevesels.
For he has been longing to see you all, and has been distressed because you heard of his illness.
27 Un viņš arī gulēja uz miršanu, bet Dievs par viņu ir apžēlojies, tomēr nevien par viņu, bet arī par mani, ka man nenāktu noskumšana uz noskumšanu.
And I can assure you that his illness very nearly proved fatal. But God had pity on him, and not on him only but also on me, so that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
28 Tad nu es viņu jo drīz esmu sūtījis, lai jūs to atkal redzēdami varat priecāties, un mana noskumšana top mazāka.
I am all the more ready, therefore, to send him, so that the sight of him may revive your spirits and my own sorrow be lightened.
29 Tad nu uzņemat viņu iekš Tā Kunga ar visu prieku, un tos tādus turat godā.
Give him, then, the heartiest of Christian welcomes, and hold such people in great honour.
30 Jo Kristus darba dēļ viņš ir nācis tuvu pie nāves, nebēdādams par savu dzīvību, lai viņš man kalpotu jūsu vietā.
For it was owing to his devotion to the Master’s work that he was at the point of death, having risked his own life in the effort to supply what was wanting in the help that you sent me.
