¹Ak je tedy nejaké potešenie v Kristovi, ak nejaké povzbudenie lásky, ak nejaké účastenstvo Ducha, ak nejaká srdečná sústrasť a zľutovanie, to robte

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

²a tak naplňte moju radosť, aby ste jedno a to isté mysleli, jednu a tú istú lásku mali a boli sťa jedna duša, aby ste jedno mysleli

²make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

³nerobiac ničoho zo sváru ani z márnej chvály, ale v pokore majte jedni druhých za vyšších od seba

³doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

⁴nehľadiac každý len na svoje, ale každý aj na to, čo je iných.

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

⁵Lebo nech je také smýšľanie vo vás, aké bolo aj v Kristu Ježišovi,

⁵Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

⁶ktorý súc v podobe Boha nepovažoval toho za lúpež byť rovný Bohu,

⁶who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

⁷ale sám seba zmaril prijmúc podobu sluhu a stal sa podobný ľuďom

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

⁸a súc v spôsobe najdený jako človek ponížil sa stanúc sa poslušným až po smrť, a to po smrť kríža.

⁸And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.

⁹Preto aj Bôh jeho povýšil nad všetko a dal mu z ľúbosti meno, ktoré je nad každé meno,

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

¹⁰aby sa v mene Ježiša sklonilo každé koleno bytostí ponebeských a pozemských i podzemských,

¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,

¹¹a každý jazyk aby vyznal, že Ježiš Kristus je Pánom, na slávu Boha Otca.

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

¹²A tak, moji milovaní, jako ste vždycky poslúchli, nie len ako v mojej prítomnosti, ale tým väčšmi teraz v mojej neprítomnosti, s bázňou a s trasením pracujte na svojom spasení;

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

¹³lebo je to Bôh, ktorý vo vás pôsobí i chcenie i činenie pre záľubu.

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

¹⁴Všetko čiňte bez reptania a bez pohybovania,

¹⁴Do all things without murmurings and disputes,

¹⁵aby ste boli bezúhonní a rýdzi, deti Božie bezvadné prostred pokolenia krivého a prevráteného, medzi ktorými svieťte jako svetlá na svete

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

¹⁶majúc u seba slovo života mne na chválu v deň Kristov, že som nebežal nadarmo ani nadarmo nepracoval.

¹⁶holding up the word of life; that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

¹⁷Ale jestli aj budem vyliaty sťa liata obeť pri bitnej obeti a svätoslužbe vašej viery, radujem sa a spolu sa radujem so všetkými vami,

¹⁷Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.

¹⁸a takiste sa aj vy radujte a spolu sa radujte so mnou.

¹⁸In the same way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

¹⁹Ale nadejem sa v Pánu Ježišovi, že vám skoro pošlem Timotea, aby som i ja okrial zvediac, ako sa máte a čo robíte.

¹⁹But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.

²⁰Lebo nemám nikoho rovnosmýšľajúceho, ktorý by sa verne a úprimne staral o vaše.

²⁰For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

²¹Lebo tí všetci hľadajú svoje a nie Krista Ježišovo.

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

²²Ale jeho dokázanosť znáte, a že jako dieťa otcovi, tak slúžil so mnou vo veci evanjelia.

²²But you know the proof of him, that, as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

²³Nadejem sa teda, že toho pošlem hneď, ako uvidím, čo bude so mnou.

²³Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.

²⁴Ale dúfam v Pána, že aj sám skoro prijdem.

²⁴But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.

²⁵Ale som uznal za potrebné poslať k vám brata Epafrodita, svojho spolupracovníka a spolubojovníka a vášho posla a svätoslužobníka čo do mojej potreby,

²⁵But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need;

²⁶keď túžil po vás po všetkých a nemal pokoja, pretože ste počuli, že onemocnel.

²⁶since he longed for you all, and was very troubled, because you had heard that he was sick.

²⁷Lebo aj skutočne bol tak onemocnel, že už bol blízky smrti. Ale Bôh sa zmiloval nad ním, avšak nie len nad ním samým, ale aj nado mnou, aby som nemal zármutku na zármutok.

²⁷For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.

²⁸A tak som ho tým snažnejšie poslal, aby ste sa, keď ho uvidíte, zase radovali, a ja aby som mal menej zármutku.

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

²⁹Prijmite ho tedy v Pánovi s celou radosťou a majte takých v úcte.

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

³⁰Lebo pre dielo Kristovo sa bol priblížil až k smrti nasadiac svoj život, aby doplnil váš nedostatok čo do svätoslužby, ktorú ste mne konali.

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