¹If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,

¹Kui nüüd on mingisugune julgustus Kristuses, kui mingisugune armastuse lohutus, kui mingisugune Vaimu osadus, kui mingisugune südamlikkus ja kaastunne,

²make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

²siis tehke mu rõõm täielikuks sellega, et te mõtlete ühtmoodi, et teil on sama armastus, et olete üksmeelsed ja ühtviisi mõtlejad

³[doing] nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;

³ega tee midagi kiusu ega auahnuse pärast, vaid peate alandlikkuses üksteist ülemaks kui iseennast,

⁴not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

⁴nii et ükski ei pea silmas mitte ainult oma, vaid ka teiste kasu.

⁵Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁵Mõtelge iseenestes sedasama, mida Kristuses Jeesuses:

⁶who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped,

⁶kes, olles Jumala kuju, ei arvanud osaks olla Jumalaga võrdne,

⁷but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;

⁷vaid loobus iseenese olust, võttes orja kuju, saades inimese sarnaseks; ja ta leiti välimuselt inimesena.

⁸and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient [even] unto death, yea, the death of the cross.

⁸Ta alandas iseennast, saades kuulekaks surmani, pealegi ristisurmani.

⁹Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name;

⁹Seepärast on Jumal tõstnud ta kõrgemaks kõrgest ja annetanud talle selle nime, mis on üle iga nime,

¹⁰that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven and [things] on earth and [things] under the earth,

¹⁰et Jeesuse nimes nõtkuks iga põlv nii taevas kui maa peal kui maa all,

¹¹and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹¹ja et iga keel tunnistaks: Jeesus Kristus on Issand - Jumala Isa kirkuseks.

¹²So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

¹²Nõnda siis, mu armsad, otsekui te olete ikka olnud kuulekad, ärge olge seda ainult siis, kui ma olen kohal, vaid veel kindlamalt nüüd minu äraolekul; valmistage endile päästet kartuse ja värinaga!

¹³for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

¹³Sest Jumal on see, kes teis tegutseb, et te tahate ja toimite tema hea nõu kohaselt.

¹⁴Do all things without murmurings and questionings:

¹⁴Tehke kõik nurisemata ja vaidlemata,

¹⁵that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,

¹⁵et te oleksite laitmatud ja puhtad, veatud Jumala lapsed keset põikpäist ja rikutud sugupõlve, kelle seas te paistate nagu tähed maailmas,

¹⁶holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain.

¹⁶pidades kinni elusõnast. Nii saan kiidelda Kristuse päeval, et ma ei ole tühja jooksnud ega tühja vaeva näinud.

¹⁷Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:

¹⁷Ja kuigi minu veri peaks joogiohvrina valatama teie usu ohvri ja teenistuse peale, ma rõõmustan ja olen rõõmus koos teie kõikidega.

¹⁸and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.

¹⁸Niisamuti siis rõõmustage ka teie ja olge rõõmsad koos minuga!

¹⁹But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

¹⁹Ent ma loodan Issandas Jeesuses peatselt saata teie juurde Timoteose, et ka minu meel läheks kergeks, kui ma saan teada, kuidas teie käsi käib.

²⁰For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state.

²⁰Mul ei ole kedagi teist niisama tublit, kes tõeliselt teie eest muretseks.

²¹For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

²¹Kõik taotlevad ju enda oma, mitte Kristuse Jeesuse oma.

²²But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child [serveth] a father, [so] he served with me in furtherance of the gospel.

²²Aga tema ustavust te teate, sest nagu laps oma isaga, nõnda on tema koos minuga teeninud evangeeliumi.

²³Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me:

²³Teda ma loodangi nüüd saata, otsekohe kui ma näen, kuidas mu asjad arenevad.

²⁴but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly.

²⁴Ma olen aga veendunud Issandas, et ma ka ise tulen peatselt.

²⁵But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need;

²⁵Ma olen pidanud vajalikuks saata teie juurde vend Epafroditose, oma kaastöölise ja kaasvõitleja, teie saadiku ja minu vajaduste eest hoolitseja,

²⁶since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick:

²⁶sest ta igatses teie järele ja muretses, sest te olite kuulnud ta haige olevat.

²⁷for indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

²⁷Ta ju oligi suremas haige, kuid Jumal halastas tema peale, aga mitte üksnes tema, vaid ka minu peale, et mulle ei tuleks kurbust kurbusele lisaks.

²⁸I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

²⁸Nüüd ma siis saadan tema seda rutemini, et teie teda nähes jälle saaksite rõõmsaks ja mul oleks kurbust vähem.

²⁹Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honor:

²⁹Võtke ta siis vastu Issandas kogu rõõmuga ja pidage lugu niisugustest meestest,

³⁰because for the work of Christ he came nigh unto death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

³⁰sest ta oli Kristuse töö pärast surmasuus ega hoolinud oma elust, et täita teie aset minu eest hoolitsemisel.
