Philippians, 2

1. Therefore, if there is any consolation in Christ, any solace of charity, any fellowship of the Spirit, any feelings of commiseration:

1. Ima li dakle u Kristu kakve utjehe, ima li kakva ljubazna bodrenja, ima li kakva zajedništva Duha, ima li kakva srca i samilosti,

2. complete my joy by having the same understanding, holding to the same charity, being of one mind, with the same sentiment.

2. ispunite me radošæu: složni budite, istu ljubav njegujte, jednodušni, jedne misli budite;

3. Let nothing be done by contention, nor in vain glory. Instead, in humility, let each of you esteem others to be better than himself.

3. nikakvo suparništvo ni umišljenost, nego - u poniznosti jedni druge smatrajte višima od sebe;

4. Let each of you not consider anything to be your own, but rather to belong to others.

4. ne starajte se samo svaki za svoje, nego i za ono što se tièe drugih!

5. For this understanding in you was also in Christ Jesus:

5. Neka u vama bude isto mišljenje kao i u Kristu Isusu:

6. who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be seized.

6. On, trajni lik Božji, nije se kao plijena držao svoje jednakosti s Bogom,

7. Instead, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and accepting the state of a man.

7. nego sam sebe "oplijeni" uzevši lik sluge, postavši ljudima slièan; oblièjem èovjeku nalik,

8. He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, even the death of the Cross.

8. ponizi sam sebe, poslušan do smrti, smrti na križu.

9. Because of this, God has also exalted him and has given him a name which is above every name,

9. Zato Bog njega preuzvisi i darova mu ime, ime nad svakim imenom,

10. so that, at the name of Jesus, every knee would bend, of those in heaven, of those on earth, and of those in hell,

10. da se na ime Isusovo prigne svako koljeno nebesnika, zemnika i podzemnika.

11. and so that every tongue would confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

11. I svaki æe jezik priznati: "Isus Krist jest Gospodin!" - na slavu Boga Oca.

12. And so, my most beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but even more so now in my absence: work toward your salvation with fear and trembling.

12. Tako, ljubljeni moji, poslušni kako uvijek bijaste, ne samo kao ono za moje nazoènosti nego mnogo više sada, za moje nenazoènosti, sa strahom i trepetom radite oko svoga spasenja!

13. For it is God who works in you, both so as to choose, and so as to act, in accord with his good will.

13. Da, Bog u svojoj dobrohotnosti izvodi u vama i htjeti i djelovati.

14. And do everything without murmuring or hesitation.

14. Sve èinite bez mrmljanja i oklijevanja

15. So may you be without blame, simple sons of God, without reproof, in the midst of a depraved and perverse nation, among whom you shine like lights in the world,

15. da budete besprijekorni i èisti, djeca Božja neporoèna posred poroda izopaèena i lukava u kojem svijetlite kao svjetlila u svijetu

16. holding to the Word of Life, until my glory in the day of Christ. For I have not run in vain, nor have I labored in vain.

16. držeæi rijeè Života meni na ponos za Dan Kristov, što nisam zaludu trèao niti se zaludu trudio.

17. Moreover, if I am to be immolated because of the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and give thanks with all of you.

17. Naprotiv, ako se ja i izlijevam za žrtvu i bogoslužje, za vjeru vašu, radostan sam i radujem se sa svima vama.

18. And over this same thing, you also should rejoice and give thanks, together with me.

18. A tako i vi budite radosni i radujte se sa mnom.

19. Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, in order that I may be encouraged, when I know the things concerning you.

19. Nadam se u Gospodinu Isusu da æu vam uskoro poslati Timoteja da mi odlane kad saznam što je s vama.

20. For I have no one else with such an agreeable mind, who, with sincere affection, is solicitous for you.

20. Nikoga doista nemam tako srodne duše tko bi se kao on svojski za vas pobrinuo

21. For they all seek the things that are of themselves, not the things that are of Jesus Christ.

21. jer svi traže svoje, a ne ono što je Isusa Krista.

22. So know this evidence of him: that like a son with a father, so has he served with me in the Gospel.

22. A prokušanost vam je njegova poznata: kao dijete s ocem služio je sa mnom evanðelju.

23. Therefore, I hope to send him to you immediately, as soon as I see what will happen concerning me.

23. Njega se dakle nadam poslati tek što razvidim što je sa mnom.

24. But I trust in the Lord that I myself will also return to you soon.

24. A uvjeren sam u Gospodinu da æu i sam uskoro doæi.

25. Now I have considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and co-worker, and fellow soldier, and an attendant to my needs, but your Apostle.

25. Smatrao sam potrebnim poslati k vama Epafrodita, brata, suradnika i suborca moga kojega ste poslali da mi poslužuje u potrebi.

26. For certainly, he has desired all of you, and he was saddened because you had heard that he was sick.

26. Jer je èeznuo za svima vama i bio zabrinut što ste saznali da je obolio.

27. For he was sick, even unto death, but God took pity on him, and not only on him, but truly on myself also, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow.

27. I doista je gotovo na smrt bio obolio, ali Bog mu se smilovao, ne samo njemu nego i meni, da me ne zadesi žalost na žalost.

28. Therefore, I sent him more readily, in order that, by seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow.

28. Brže ga dakle poslah da se, pošto ga vidite, opet obradujete, i ja da budem manje žalostan.

29. And so, receive him with every joy in the Lord, and treat all those like him with honor.

29. Primite ga dakle u Gospodinu sa svom radosti i poštujte takve

30. For he was brought close even to death, for the sake of the work of Christ, handing over his own life, so that he might fulfill what was lacking from you concerning my service.

30. jer se za djelo Kristovo smrti sasvim približio, životnoj se pogibli izložio da nadopuni ono u èemu me vi ne mogoste poslužiti.
