Filipljanom 3
1 V ostalem, bratje moji, veselite se v Gospodu. Isto pisati vam ni sitno meni, vam pa v potrjenje.
To sum up: my dear friends, delight in the Lord! It's not a burden for me to repeat these things to you—it's to keep you safe!
2 Pazite se psov, pazite se slabih delalcev, pazite se razkolja!
Watch out for the wolves, those who do evil, those who insist on physical circumcision—
3 Kajti mi smo obreza, ki v duhu služimo Bogu in se hvalimo v Kristusu Jezusu, in ne zaupamo v meso;
for it's we who are truly circumcised, worshiping by the Spirit of God, placing our assurance in Christ Jesus. We have no confidence in human abilities—
4 Dasì bi imel jaz tudi v meso zaupanje. Če méni kdo drug zaupati v meso, jaz bolj;
for if there was a way to rely on human nature then I myself could have that confidence! If anyone thinks they have confidence in such human things, then I outdo them:
5 Obrezan osmi dan, iz rodú Izraelovega, rodovine Benjaminove, Hebrejec iz Hebrejcev, po postavi Farizej,
I was circumcised on the eighth day, I'm an Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin, a true Hebrew. Regarding legal observance I'm a Pharisee;
6 Po gorečnosti preganjalec občine, po pravičnosti v postavi bréz pogreška.
as for religious dedication I was a persecutor of the church; while in regard to doing right according to the law I was blameless!
7 Ali kar mi je bilo dobiček, to sem imel zaradi Kristusa za izgubo;
But in whatever way such things gained me anything, I count them as a loss for Christ.
8 Ali zares tudi zdaj imam vse za izgubo zavoljo preobilosti spoznanja Kristusa Jezusa, Gospoda svojega, za katerega voljo sem vse izgubil, in za smeti imam, da pridobim Kristusa,
Truly, I count everything as loss in exchange for the incredible benefit I've gained through knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I've thrown away all these things for him, and consider them trash, so that I might gain Christ.
9 In se najdem v njem, ne da imam svojo pravico iz postave, nego po veri Kristusovi, iz Boga pravico v veri;
I want to be found in him, not being right because of what I've done, or what the law requires, but made right through confidence in Christ, set right by God through trusting in him.
10 Da spoznam njega in vstajenja njegovega moč, in sodeleštvo njegovega trpljenja, storivši se podobnega smrti njegovi,
I want to really know him, and the power of his resurrection—to take part in his suffering and become like him in his death,
11 Če pač pridem do vstajenja mrtvih;
so that somehow I might be part of the resurrection from the dead!
12 Ne da sem že dosegel ali sem že popoln; a lovim, če pač dosežem, za kar sem tudi vjet bil od Kristusa Jezusa.
Not that I've already got it all, or that I'm already perfect—but I run so that I might win what was won for me by Christ Jesus.
13 Bratje, jaz ne sodim, da sem dosegel;
My friends, I don't consider that I've already won, but this is my one objective: disregarding what is behind me, I strain forward to what is in front of me.
14 Eno pa: pozabivši kar je zadaj, a spenjajoč se po tém, kar je spredaj, proti smotru hitim za darilom nebeškega poklica Božjega v Kristusu Jezusu.
I run towards the finish line to win the prize of God's invitation to heaven through Christ Jesus.
15 Kolikor nas je torej popolnih, bodimo teh misli; in če ste v čem drugih misli, bode vam tudi to Bog razodel.
Those of us who are spiritually mature should think like this, and if you think anything different, then God will reveal this to you.
16 Todà do česar smo dospeli, isto bodi nam pravilo v dejanji, isto v mišljenji.
We just need to make sure that we follow what we already have understood.
17 Posnemalci moji bodite vsi, bratje, in glejte one, kateri tako živé, kakor imate nas za zgled.
My friends, copy my example as others do and take note of the way to behave since you have us as a model.
18 Kajti mnogo jih živi, katere sem vam mnogokrat imenoval, zdaj pa jih tudi jokajoč imenujem, sovražnike križa Kristusovega,
The way some people live makes them enemies of the cross of Christ—as I've often told you before and repeat again though it pains me so much I want to weep.
19 Katerih konec poguba, katerih Bog trebuh, in slava v njih sramoti, ki jim je zemeljsko v mislih.
They will end up being completely lost, these people whose “god” is their physical desires and who are proud of what they should be ashamed of, thinking only about the things of this world.
20 Kajti naše dejanje je v nebesih, od koder tudi zveličarja pričakujemo Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa,
But our homeland is heaven, and we're waiting for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from there too.
21 Kateri bode telo ponižanja našega preizobrazil, da bode podobno telesu slave njegove, po kreposti, s katero si more tudi vse podvreči.
He will re-create our defective human bodies so that they will be made like his glorious body using the power by which he brings everything under his control.
