¹So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand ye in the Lord, beloved.

¹Niisiis, mu armsad ja igatsetud vennad, minu rõõm ja aupärg, püsige nõnda Issandas, armsad!

²Euodia I exhort, and Syntyche I exhort, to be of the same mind in the Lord;

²Euodiat ma keelitan ja Süntühhet ma keelitan mõtlema ühtmoodi Issandas.

³and I ask also thee, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those women who in the good news did strive along with me, with Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names [are] in the book of life.

³Jah, ma palun ka sind, aus teekaaslane, võta oma hoolde need naised, kes on võidelnud evangeeliumi eest koos minu, Kleemensi ja mu teiste kaastöölistega, kelle nimed on eluraamatus.

⁴Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice;

⁴Olge ikka rõõmsad Issandas! Taas ma ütlen: Olge rõõmsad!

⁵let your forbearance be known to all men; the Lord [is] near;

⁵Teie leebus saagu teatavaks kõigile inimestele. Issand on ligidal!

⁶for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God;

⁶Ärge muretsege ühtigi, vaid teie vajadused saagu kõiges Jumalale teatavaks tänuütlemisega palumises ja anumises.

⁷and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

⁷Ja Jumala rahu, mis on ülem kui kogu mõistmine, hoiab teie südamed ja mõtted Kristuses Jeesuses.

⁸As to the rest, brethren, as many things as are true, as many as [are] grave, as many as [are] righteous, as many as [are] pure, as many as [are] lovely, as many as [are] of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, these things think upon;

⁸Viimaks veel, vennad, mis iganes on tõene, mis auväärne, mis õige, mis puhas, mis armastusväärne, mis ülendav, ja kui miski on vooruslik ja kui miski on kiidetav, seda arvestage!

⁹the things that also ye did learn, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, those do, and the God of the peace shall be with you.

⁹Mida te olete õppinud ja saanud ja kuulnud ja näinud minult, seda tehke, ning rahu Jumal on siis teiega.

¹⁰And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye flourished again in caring for me, for which also ye were caring, and lacked opportunity;

¹⁰Väga suureks rõõmuks Issandas oli mulle see, et te viimaks jälle virgusite mõtlema minule; sest teie olete ju mõelnud, aga teil polnud sobivat juhust.

¹¹not that in respect of want I say [it], for I did learn in the things in which I am — to be content;

¹¹Ma ei ütle seda puuduse pärast, kuna ma olen õppinud olema rahul sellega, mis mul on.

¹²I have known both to be abased, and I have known to abound; in everything and in all things I have been initiated, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.

¹²Oskan elada kehvalt ja oskan elada ka jõukalt, olen kõigega ja kõigi oludega tuttav: nii kõhtu täis sööma kui nälgima, elama nii jõukuses kui puuduses.

¹³For all things I have strength, in Christ`s strengthening me;

¹³Ma suudan kõik tema läbi, kes teeb mind vägevaks.

¹⁴but ye did well, having communicated with my tribulation;

¹⁴Ometi, te tegite hästi, et võtsite osa minu kitsikusest.

¹⁵and ye have known, even ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly did communicate with me in regard to giving and receiving except ye only;

¹⁵Teie, filiplased, ju teate, et evangeeliumi kuulutamise alguses, kui ma Makedooniast lahkusin, ei olnud ükski kogudus peale teie andmise ja võtmise arvestamisel minuga osaduses,

¹⁶because also in Thessalonica, both once and again to my need ye sent;

¹⁶sest teie saatsite minu vajadusteks abi ka Tessaloonikasse rohkem kui ühe korra.

¹⁷not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing to your account;

¹⁷See pole nii, et ma otsin andi, vaid ma otsin vilja, mis kasvatab teiepoolset arvet.

¹⁸and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you — an odour of a sweet smell — a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God:

¹⁸Mul on nüüd kõike ja küllaga! Mu käed said täis, kui ma Epafroditoselt võtsin vastu teiepoolse anni hea lõhnana, soodsa ohvrina, mis on Jumalale meelepärane.

¹⁹and my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus;

¹⁹Küll mu Jumal täidab kõik teie vajadused oma rikkust mööda kirkusega Kristuses Jeesuses.

²⁰and to God, even our Father, [is] the glory — to the ages of the ages. Amen.

²⁰Aga Jumalale ja meie Isale olgu kirkus igavesest ajast igavesti! Aamen.

²¹Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus; there salute you the brethren with me;

²¹Tervitage kõiki pühasid Kristuses Jeesuses! Teid tervitavad minuga olevad vennad.

²²there salute you all the saints, and specially those of Caesar`s house;

²²Teid tervitavad kõik pühad, eriti aga need, kes on keisri kojast.

²³the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all. Amen.

²³Meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse arm olgu teie vaimuga!
