Philippians 2
1 Since Christ encourages us, since he loves us and comforts us, since God’s Spirit fellowships with [us, and] since [Christ] is very merciful [DOU] to us,
Ha tehát helye van Krisztusban az intésnek, ha helye van a szeretet vigasztalásának, ha helye van a Lélekben való közösségnek, ha helye van a szívnek és könyörületességnek,
2 make me completely happy [by doing the following things]: Agree with one another, love one another, be closely united with one another, and [live] harmoniously with one another [DOU].
akkor teljesítsétek be az én örömömet, hogy egyetértésben, ugyanazon szeretettel viseltetvén egymás iránt, egy érzésben, ugyanazon akarattal törekedjetek.
3 Never try to selfishly make yourselves more important than [others] nor boast [about what you are doing]. Instead, be humble, [and in particular], honor one another more than you honor yourselves.
Semmit nem cselekedjetek versengésből, sem hiábavaló dicsőségből, hanem alázatosan tartsátok egymást különbnek magatoknál.
4 Each one of you should not [only] be concerned about your own affairs. Instead, each of you should also be concerned (that you help/about the needs of) one another.
Ne nézze senki csak a maga hasznát, hanem a másokét is.
5 You should think/act just like Christ Jesus [thought/acted].
Ezért az az indulat legyen bennetek, mely volt a Krisztus Jézusban is,
6 [Although] he has the same nature as God has, he did not insist on keeping all the privileges of being equal with God.
aki mikor Istennek formájában volt, nem tekintette zsákmánynak azt, hogy ő az Istennel egyenlő,
7 Instead, he [willingly] gave up divine privileges. [Specifically], he became a human being and took the attitude of a servant. When he had become a human being,
hanem önmagát megüresítette, szolgai formát vett föl, emberekhez hasonlóvá lett.
8 he humbled himself [even more. Specifically], he obeyed [God] even to the extent of [being willing to] die. [He was even willing to] be nailed to a cross, [to die as though he were a criminal].
És mikor olyan lett, mint egy ember, megalázta magát, engedelmes volt a halálig, mégpedig a keresztfának haláláig.
9 As a result, God promoted him [to a] rank [that] is above every [other] rank.
Ezért az Isten is felmagasztalta őt, és oly nevet ajándékozott neki, amely minden név fölött való;
10 [God did that] in order that every being [SYN] in heaven and on earth and under the earth should worship [MTY] Jesus,
hogy a Jézus nevére minden térd meghajoljon, mennyeieké, földieké és föld alatt valóké.
11 and in order that every person [SYN] should declare that Jesus Christ is Lord. [As a result of everyone doing that, they will] honor God, [his] Father.
És minden nyelv vallja, hogy Jézus Krisztus Úr az Atya Isten dicsőségére.
12 My dear friends, as you consider this, since you have always obeyed [God], each of you should very reverentially [DOU] try to do those things [that are proper for people whom God has] saved. [You should do those things] not only when I am with you. [Instead, you should try] even more [to do them] now when I am not with you.
Ezért, szerelmeseim, amiképpen mindenkor engedelmeskedtetek, nemcsak az én jelenlétemben, hanem sokkal inkább most, a távollétemben, félelemmel és rettegéssel munkálkodjatok üdvösségeteken;
13 [You are able to do these things], since God [himself] causes you to desire to do what he wants you to do, and he also enables you to do what he wants you to do.
mert Isten az, aki munkálja bennetek mind az akarást, mind a tetteket jó kedvéből.
14 Do everything [God or your leaders ask you to do]. Never complain about what they want you to do, or argue with them.
Mindent zúgolódások és versengések nélkül cselekedjetek,
15 Behave like that in order that you may be completely faultless [DOU] and may be perfect children of God [DOU] while you live in the midst of people who are wicked and do very wicked things [DOU]. As you live among them, show them clearly [MET] [the way they ought to behave], just like the sun, moon, and stars [show the road clearly to us] [SIM].
hogy feddhetetlenek és tiszták legyetek, Istennek szeplőtlen gyermekei az elfordult és elvetemedett nemzetség közepette, akik között fényletek, mint csillagok e világon.
16 Tell them how [to] have eternal life. I [ask that you do that] in order that on the day Christ [returns] I may be able to rejoice [MTY], that I did not labor [DOU] so hard among you in vain.
Életnek beszédét mutassátok nékik; hogy dicsekedhessem majd a Krisztus napján, hogy nem futottam hiába, sem nem fáradtam hiába.
17 Perhaps [the Roman authorities] will execute me, [and my blood will pour out] [MET] [as the] wine pours out when the priest offers it to God [MET]. [For your part], you believe [in Christ firmly]. As a result, you have given yourselves completely to God in order that you might do what he wills [MET], [just like a priest] offers a sacrifice [completely to God] [MET]. [Because I dedicate myself wholly to God] together with you, even if [they are about to execute me], I will greatly rejoice [DOU], [because I am giving myself wholly to God], and because you all [are giving yourselves wholly to God].
De ha kiontatom is italáldozatként a ti hitetek áldozatánál és papi szolgálatánál, mégis örülök, és együtt örülök mindnyájatokkal.
18 Similarly, you too should rejoice [because you are giving yourselves wholly to God], and you should rejoice because I [am giving myself wholly to God].
Azonképpen ti is örüljetek, és örüljetek együtt velem.
19 My relationship with the Lord Jesus [leads me] to confidently expect that [he will enable me] to send Timothy to you soon, in order that [his telling you the news about me will encourage you. But] I also expect that [his returning to me and] telling me the news about you will encourage me.
Reménykedem pedig az Úr Jézusban, hogy Timóteust rövidesen elküldöm hozzátok, hogy én is felviduljak, meghallva a dolgaitokat.
20 [Keep in mind that] I have no one [else] like him who genuinely cares for you.
Mert nincsen velem senki más, aki olyan lelkületű volna, mint ő, aki igazán szívén viselné dolgaitokat.
21 All the others [whom I have considered that I might send to you] are concerned [only] about their own matters. They are not concerned about what Jesus Christ [considers important].
Mert mindenki a maga hasznát keresi, nem a Krisztus Jézusét.
22 But you know that Timothy has proved that he [serves the Lord and others faithfully. You know] that he has served [the Lord closely together] with me in [proclaiming to people] the message about Christ as though he were [SIM] my son and I were his [own] father.
Az ő kipróbált voltát pedig ismeritek, hogy miképpen atyjával a gyermek, úgy szolgálta ő velem együtt az evangélium ügyét.
23 So then he is the one I confidently expect to send [to you] as soon as I know what will happen to me.
Ezért remélem, hogy elküldöm őt tüstént, mihelyst meglátom saját dolgaim állását,
24 And I am confident that I will soon be released {[the authorities will soon release me]} [so that] the Lord will enable me also to come/go [to you] soon.
és bízom az Úrban, hogy magam is csakhamar el fogok menni.
25 I have concluded that it is [really] necessary that I send Epaphroditus [back] to you. He is a fellow believer and my fellow worker, and he [endures difficulties together with me] [MET], [just like] soldiers [endure difficulties together]. You sent him [to me] in order that he might help me when I was needy [EUP].
De azért szükségesnek tartom, hogy Epafroditoszt, az én atyámfiát és munkatársamat és bajtársamat, aki nektek követetek és szükségemben áldozatot hozó szolgátok, hazaküldjem hozzátok,
26 [But I have concluded that I must send him back to you] because he has been longing to see you all. Furthermore, he has been [very] distressed because [he knows that] you heard that he had become sick.
mivelhogy vágyva vágyott mindnyájatok után, és gyötrődött amiatt, hogy meghallottátok, hogy ő beteg volt.
27 Indeed, he was so sick that he almost died. However, [he did not die]. Instead, God pitied him and he also pitied me, [and as a result he healed him. God pitied me] because he did not want me to be even more sorrowful than I already was.
Mert bizony beteg volt, halálhoz közel; de az Isten megkönyörült rajta, nemcsak őrajta, hanem rajtam is, hogy szomorúság ne jöjjön szomorúságomra.
28 So, I am sending him [back to you] as quickly as possible, in order that you may rejoice [when you see him again] and in order that I may be less sorrowful [than I was].
Ezért hamarabb küldtem őt haza, hogy ha majd meglátjátok őt, ismét örüljetek, és nékem is kisebb legyen a szomorúságom.
29 Welcome him very joyfully [just like believers] in [our] Lord [Jesus should welcome one another. While he was] working for Christ, he was helping me in place of you [because you were far away]. He knew that he might die as a result of helping me, and [truly] he nearly did die. So honor [him, and honor all] those who are like him.
Fogadjátok azért őt az Úrban teljes örömmel; és az ilyeneket megbecsüljétek:
mert a Krisztus dolgáért jutott majdnem halálra, kockára tette életét, hogy kárpótoljon engem azért, hogy ti nem lehettetek szolgálatomra.
