Pāvila Vēstule Filipiešiem 3
1 Un vēl, mani brāļi, priecājaties iekš Tā Kunga. To pašu jums vienmēr rakstīt, man nav par apnikšanu, bet jums par stiprināšanu.
In conclusion, my friends, may all joy be yours in your union with the Lord. To repeat what I have already written does not weary me, and is the safe course for you.
2 Redziet tos suņus, redziet tos ļaunos strādniekus, redziet to sagraizīšanu!
Beware of those dogs! Beware of those mischievous workers! Beware of the men who mutilate themselves!
3 Jo mēs esam tā apgraizīšana, mēs, kas Dievam kalpojam garā un iekš Kristus Jēzus lielāmies un nepaļaujamies uz miesu.
For it is we who are the circumcised – we whose worship is prompted by the Spirit of God, who exult in Christ Jesus, and who do not rely on external privileges;
4 Jebšu man varētu būt arī paļaušanās uz miesu; ja citam kam šķiet, ka tas var paļauties uz miesu, es vairāk:
though I, if anyone, have cause to rely even on them. If anyone thinks he can rely on external privileges, far more can I!
5 Es esmu apgraizīts astotā dienā, no Israēla tautas, no Benjamina cilts, Ebrejs no Ebrejiem, pēc bauslības farizejs,
I was circumcised when eight days old; I am an Israelite by birth, and of the tribe of Benjamin; I am a Hebrew, and the child of Hebrews. As to the Law, I was a Pharisee;
6 Pēc karstuma draudzes vajātājs, pēc tās taisnības, kas ir iekš bauslības, bezvainīgs.
as to zeal, I was a persecutor of the church; as to such righteousness as is due to Law, I proved myself blameless.
7 Bet kas man bija par mantu, to es Kristus dēļ esmu turējis par skādi.
But all the things which I once held to be gains I have now, for the Christ’s sake, come to count as loss.
8 Jo patiesi es arī visu turu par skādi pret Kristus Jēzus, mana Kunga, atzīšanas augsto mantu; tādēļ es visu esmu pametis, un to turu par sūdu, lai es Kristu mantoju,
More than that, I count everything as loss, for the sake of the exceeding value of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. And for his sake I have lost everything, and count it as rubbish, if I may but gain Christ and be found in union with him;
9 Un iekš Viņa topu atrasts, ka man nav sava taisnība, tā, kas ir no bauslības, bet tā, kas ir caur Kristus ticību, proti tā taisnība, kas ir no Dieva caur ticību;
any righteousness that I have being, not the righteousness that results from Law, but the righteousness which comes through faith in Christ – the righteousness which is derived from God and is founded on faith.
10 Lai es atzīstu Viņu un Viņa augšāmcelšanās spēku un to līdz ciešanu ar Viņu un Viņam līdzīgs topu nāvē,
Then indeed I will know Christ, and the power of his resurrection, and all that it means to share his sufferings,
11 Vai jel varētu nākt pie tās augšāmcelšanās no miroņiem.
in the hope that, if I become like him in death, I may possibly attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12 Ne tā kā es to jau būtu dabūjis, vai jau būtu pilnīgs; bet es tam dzenos pakaļ, vai es to arī gan varētu satvert, tā kā arī es esmu satverts no Kristus Jēzus.
Not that I have already laid hold of it, or that I am already made perfect. But I press on, in the hope of actually laying hold of that for which indeed I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.
13 Brāļi, man nešķiet, ka to jau esmu satvēris;
For I, friends, do not regard myself as having yet laid hold of it. But this one thing I do – forgetting what lies behind, and straining every nerve for that which lies in front,
14 Bet to vien saku: aizmirsdams to, kas aiz manis, es stiepjos uz to, kas priekšā, es dzenos uz to mērķi, pēc tās goda maksas, uz ko Dievs debesīs aicina iekš Kristus Jēzus.
I press on to the goal, to gain the prize of that heavenward call which God gave me through Christ Jesus.
15 Visi nu, kas esam pilnīgi, lai šādu prātu turam; un ja jūs vēl par kaut ko citādi domājiet, tad Dievs arī to jums parādīs.
Let all of us, then, whose faith is mature, think this way. Then, if on any matter you think otherwise, God will make that also plain to you.
16 Bet tikai, pie kā esam tikuši, tai pašā ceļā lai staigājam!
Only we are bound to order our lives by what we have already attained.
17 Dzenaties man pakaļ, brāļi, un lūkojiet uz tiem, kas tā staigā, ka mēs jums esam par priekšzīmi.
My friends, unite in following my example, and fix your eyes on those who are living by the pattern which we have set you.
18 Jo daudzi staigā, par kuriem jums daudzkārt esmu sacījis, bet tagad saku arī raudādams, ka tie ir Kristus krusta ienaidnieki;
For there are many – of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even with tears – who are living in enmity to the cross of the Christ.
19 Viņu gals ir pazušana, viņu Dievs ir vēders, un viņu gods stāv viņu kaunā, viņu prāts nesās uz pasaules lietām.
The end of such people is ruin; for their appetites are their God, and they glory in their shame; their minds are given up to earthly things.
20 Bet mūsu dzīvošana ir debesīs, no kurienes mēs arī gaidām To Pestītāju, To Kungu Jēzu Kristu,
But we are citizens of heaven, and from heaven we expect a saviour to come, the Lord Jesus Christ.
21 Kas mūsu niecīgo miesu pārvērtīs, ka tā top līdzīga Viņa godības miesai, pēc tās spēcības, ar ko Viņš arī visas lietas var nolikt apakš Savām kājām.
By the exercise of his power to bring everything into subjection to himself, he will make our humble bodies like his glorious body.
