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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁷nego sam sebe "oplijeni" uzevši lik sluge, postavši ljudima sličan; obličjem čovjeku nalik,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

¹⁴Do all things without murmurings and disputes,

¹⁴Sve činite bez mrmljanja i oklijevanja

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,

¹⁵da budete besprijekorni i čisti, djeca Božja neporočna posred poroda izopačena i lukava u kojem svijetlite kao svjetlila u svijetu

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.

¹⁶držeći riječ Života meni na ponos za Dan Kristov, što nisam zaludu trčao niti se zaludu trudio.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

²⁴A uvjeren sam u Gospodinu da ću i sam uskoro doći.

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

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

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

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

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.

²⁷I 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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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