Philippians 4
1 So then, my dear friends, whom I am longing to see – you who are my joy and my crown, stand fast in union with the Lord, dear friends.
Zato, moji bratje, srčno ljubljeni in zaželeni, moja radost in krona, tako stojte trdno v Gospodu, moji srčno ljubljeni.
2 I entreat Euodia, and I entreat Syntyche, to live in harmony, in union with the Lord;
Rotim Evodíjo in rotim Sintího, da bosta istega mišljenja v Gospodu.
3 yes, and I ask you, my true comrade, to help them, remembering that they toiled by my side in spreading the good news; and so, too, did Clement and my other fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
In prosim tudi tebe, resnični soborec, pomagaj tema ženskama, ki sta se z menoj trudili v evangeliju; tudi s Klemnom in z drugimi mojimi sodelavci, katerih imena so v knjigi življenja.
4 All joy be yours at all times in your union with the Lord. Again I repeat – All joy be yours.
Nenehno se veselite v Gospodu. In ponovno pravim: ›Veselite se.‹
5 Let your forbearing spirit be plain to everyone. The Lord is near.
Naj bo vaša zmernost znana vsem ljudem. Gospod je blizu.
6 Do not be anxious about anything; but under all circumstances, by prayer and entreaty joined with thanksgiving, make your needs known to God.
Ne vznemirjate se in ne skrbite glede ničesar, temveč naj bodo v vsaki stvari vaše želje razglašene Bogu z molitvijo in ponižno prošnjo, z zahvaljevanjem.
7 Then the peace of God, which is beyond all human understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and thoughts, through your union with Christ Jesus.
In Božji mir, ki presega vse razumevanje, bo varoval vaša srca in mišljenja po Kristusu Jezusu.
8 In conclusion, friends, whenever you find things that are true or honorable, righteous or pure, lovable or praiseworthy, or if virtue and honor have any meaning, let them fill your thoughts.
Končno, bratje, katerekoli stvari so resnične, katerekoli stvari so iskrene, katerekoli stvari so pravične, katerekoli stvari so čiste, katerekoli stvari so očarljive, katerekoli stvari so na dobrem glasu; če obstaja kakršnakoli moč in če obstaja kakršnakoli hvala, mislite na te stvari.
9 All that you learned and received and heard and saw in me put into practice continually; and then God, the giver of peace, will be with you.
Stvari, ki ste se jih tako naučili, kakor sprejeli in slišali ter videli na meni, te izvršujte; in z vami bo Bog miru.
10 It was a matter of great joy to me, as one in union with the Lord, that at length your interest in me had revived. The interest indeed you had, but not the opportunity.
Toda silno sem se razveselil v Gospodu, da je vaša skrbnost do mene sedaj končno ponovno vzcvetela; v čemer ste tudi bili skrbni, toda manjkala vam je priložnost.
11 Do not think that I am saying this under the pressure of want. For I, however I am placed, have learned to be independent of circumstances.
Ne da govorim glede na pomanjkanje, kajti naučil sem se, v kakršnemkoli stanju sem, biti s tem zadovoljen.
12 I know how to face humble circumstances, and I know how to face prosperity. Into all and every human experience I have been initiated – into plenty and hunger, into prosperity and want.
Vem oboje, kako je biti ponižen in vem, kako je biti bogat; povsod in v vseh stvareh sem poučen, tako biti sit kakor biti lačen, tako biti bogat kakor prenašati pomanjkanje.
13 I can do everything through the strength of the one who makes me strong!
Vse stvari lahko storim v Kristusu, ki me krepi.
14 Yet you have acted nobly in sharing my troubles.
Vendar ste dobro storili, da ste soudeleženi pri moji stiski.
15 And you at Philippi know, as well as I, that in the early days of the good news – at the time when I had just left Macedonia – no church, with the one exception of yourselves, had anything to do with me as far as giving and receiving are concerned.
Torej vi Filipljani veste tudi, da na začetku evangelija, ko sem odšel iz Makedonije, nobena cerkev ni sodelovala z menoj glede dajanja in sprejemanja, razen vas samih.
16 Indeed, even while I was still in Thessalonica, you sent more than once to relieve my wants.
Kajti celó v Tesaloníko ste večkrat poslali za mojo nujno potrebo.
17 It is not that I am anxious for your gifts, but I am anxious to see the abundant return that will be placed to your account. I have enough of everything, and to spare.
Ne, ker [bi si] želel daru, temveč si želim sad, da bo obilen na vaš račun.
18 My wants are fully satisfied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts which you sent me – the sweet fragrance of a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God.
Toda imam vse in obilo; sem poln, ker sem od Epafrodita prejel stvari, ki so bile poslane od vas, dišavo sladkega vonja, sprejemljivo žrtvovanje, všečno Bogu.
19 And my God, out of the greatness of his wealth, will, in glory, fully satisfy your every need, through your union with Christ Jesus.
Toda moj Bog bo preskrbel vse vaše potrebe, glede na svoja bogastva, v slavi, po Jezusu Kristusu.
Torej Bogu in našemu Očetu bodi slava na veke vekov. Amen. (aiōn g165)
21 Give my greeting to everyone of the people of Christ Jesus. The Lord’s followers who are with me send your their greetings.
Pozdravite vsakega svetega v Kristusu Jezusu. Pozdravljajo vas bratje, ki so z menoj.
22 All Christ’s people here, and especially those who belong to the Emperor’s household, send theirs.
Pozdravljajo vas vsi sveti, predvsem tisti, ki so iz cesarjeve družine.
23 May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ rest on your souls.
Milost našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa bodi z vami vsemi. Amen. [To je bilo napisano Filipljanom iz Rima po Epafroditu.]
