1 שִׁמְעוּ בָּנִים אֶל־הוֹרֵיכֶם בַּאֲדֹנֵינוּ כִּי־אֹרַח ישֶׁר הוּא1 Children, be obedient to your parents in the Lord -- that is what uprightness demands.
2 כַּבֵּד אֶת־אָבִיךָ וְאֶת־אִמֶּךָ זֹאת הִיא הַמִּצְוָה הָרִאשׁוֹנָה אֲשֶׁר־לָהּ הַהַבְטָחָה2 The first commandment that has a promise attached to it is: Honour your father and your mother,
3 לְמַעַן יִיטַב לָךְ וּלְמַעַן יַאֲרִיכֻן יָמֶיךָ עַל־הָאֲדָמָה3 and the promise is: so that you may have long life and prosper in the land.
4 וְאַתֶּם הָאָבוֹת אַל־תַּכְעִיסוּ אֶת־בְּנֵיכֶם אַךְ גַּדְּלוּם בְּמוּסַר אֲדֹנֵינוּ וּבְתוֹכַחְתּוֹ4 And parents, never drive your children to resentment but bring them up with correction and adviceinspired by the Lord.
5 שִׁמְעוּ עֲבָדִים אֶל־אֲדֹנֵיכֶם לְפִי הַבָּשָׂר בְּיִרְאָה וָרֶתֶת וּבְתָם־לְבַבְכֶם כְּמוֹ לַמָּשִׁיחַ5 Slaves, be obedient to those who are, according to human reckoning, your masters, with deep respectand sincere loyalty, as you are obedient to Christ:
6 לֹא בַעֲבֹדַת מַרְאֵה הָעַיִן כִּמְבַקְשֵׁי חֵן בְּנֵי אָדָם כִּי אִם־כְּעַבְדֵי הַמָּשִׁיחַ עֹשִׂים רְצוֹן הָאֱלֹהִים בְּכָל־נַפְשָׁם6 not only when you are under their eye, as if you had only to please human beings, but as slaves ofChrist who wholeheartedly do the wil of God.
7 וְעֹבְדִים בְּנֶפֶשׁ חֲפֵצָה אֶת־הָאָדוֹן וְלֹא בְּנֵי אָדָם7 Work wil ingly for the sake of the Lord and not for the sake of human beings.
8 וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי כָל־דָּבָר טוֹב אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה הָאָדָם יְשַׁלְּמֶנּוּ לוֹ אֲדֹנֵינוּ אִם־עֶבֶד הוּא אוֹ בֶן־חוֹרִין8 Never forget that everyone, whether a slave or a free man, wil be rewarded by the Lord for whateverwork he has done wel .
9 וְאַתֶּם הָאֲדֹנִים כָּכָה תַעֲשֹוּ גַּם־לָהֶם חִדְלוּ מִגְּעָר־בָּם וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי גַם־עֲלֵיכֶם יֵשׁ אָדוֹן בַּשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵין לְפָנָיו מַשּׂא פָנִים9 And those of you who are employers, treat your slaves in the same spirit; do without threats, and neverforget that they and you have the same Master in heaven and there is no favouritism with him.
10 סוֹף דָּבָר אֶחָי חִזְקוּ בַאֲדֹנֵינוּ וּבְעֹז גְּבוּרָתוֹ10 Finally, grow strong in the Lord, with the strength of his power.
11 לִבְשׁוּ כְּלֵי־נֶשֶׁק אֱלֹהִים לְמַעַן תּוּכְלוּ עֲמֹד נֶגֶד נִכְלֵי הַשָּׂטָן11 Put on the ful armour of God so as to be able to resist the devil's tactics.
12 כִּי לֹא עִם־בָּשָׂר וָדָם מִלְחַמְתֵּנוּ כִּי עִם־שָׂרִים וְשַׁלִּיטִים עִם־הַמּשְׁלִים בְּחֶשְׁכַּת הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה עִם־הָרוּחוֹת הָרָעוֹת אֲשֶׁר בַּמְּרוֹמִים12 For it is not against human enemies that we have to struggle, but against the principalities and theruling forces who are masters of the darkness in this world, the spirits of evil in the heavens.
13 עַל־כֵּן אֶחֱזוּ בִּכְלֵי־נֶשֶׁק אֱלֹהִים לְמַעַן תּוּכְלוּ לָקוּם בַּיּוֹם הָרָע וּלְמַלֵּא צְבָאֲכֶם וְלַעֲמוֹד13 That is why you must take up al God's armour, or you wil not be able to put up any resistance on theevil day, or stand your ground even though you exert yourselves to the ful .
14 עִמְדוּ־נָא חֲגוּרֵי מָתְנַיִם בָּאֱמֶת וּמְלֻבָּשִׁים בְּשִׁרְיוֹן הַצֶּדֶק14 So stand your ground, with truth a belt round your waist, and uprightness a breastplate,
15 וְרַגְלֵיכֶם מֻנְעָלוֹת לִהְיוֹתְכֶם מוּכָנִים לִבְשׂוֹרַת הַשָּׁלוֹם15 wearing for shoes on your feet the eagerness to spread the gospel of peace
16 וְעַל־כָּל־אֵלֶּה תִּפְשֹוּ אֶת־מָגֵן הָאֱמוּנָה אֲשֶׁר תּוּכְלוּ לְכַבּוֹת בּוֹ אֶת־חִצֵּי הָרָשָׁע הַבֹּעֲרִים16 and always carrying the shield of faith so that you can use it to quench the burning arrows of the EvilOne.
17 וּקְחוּ אֶת־כּוֹבַע הַיְשׁוּעָה וְחֶרֶב הָרוּחַ שֶׁהִיא דְּבַר הָאֱלֹהִים17 And then you must take salvation as your helmet and the sword of the Spirit, that is, the word of God.
18 וְהִתְפַּלְלוּ תָמִיד בְּכָל־עֵת בִּתְפִלָּה וְתַחֲנוּנִים בָּרוּחַ וְשִׁקְדוּ וְהִתְאַמְּצוּ עַל־זֹאת לְהַעְתִּיר תָּמִיד בְּעַד כָּל־הַקְּדשִׁים18 In al your prayer and entreaty keep praying in the Spirit on every possible occasion. Never get tired ofstaying awake to pray for al God's holy people,
19 וְגַם־בַּעֲדִי לְמַעַן יִנָּתֶן־לִי הַדָּבָר בְּפִתְחִי פִי לְהַגִּיד בְּבִטָּחוֹן אֶת־סוֹד הַבְּשׂוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי צִיר לָהּ בְּמוֹסֵרוֹת19 and pray for me to be given an opportunity to open my mouth and fearlessly make known the mysteryof the gospel
20 לְמַעַן אֲדַבֵּר בָּהּ בְּבִטְחָה כַּאֲשֶׁר מֻטָּל עָלַי לְדַבֵּר20 of which I am an ambassador in chains; pray that in proclaiming it I may speak as fearlessly as I oughtto.
21 וּלְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר תֵּדְעוּ גַם־אַתֶּם אֶת־קֹרֹתַי וְאֶת־מַעֲשָׂי הִנֵּה אֶת־הַכֹּל יוֹדִיעַ אֶתְכֶם טוּכִיקוֹס הָאָח הֶחָבִיב וְהַמְשָׁרֵת הַנֶּאֱמָן בַּאֲדֹנֵינוּ21 So that you know, as well, what is happening to me and what I am doing, my dear friend Tychicus, mytrustworthy helper in the Lord, wil tel you everything.
22 אֲשֶׁר לָזֹאת שְׁלַחְתִּיהוּ אֲלֵיכֶם לְמַעַן תֵּדְעוּ אֶת־קֹרֹתֵינוּ וּלְמַעַן יְנַחֵם אֶת־לְבַבְכֶם22 I am sending him to you precisely for this purpose, to give you news about us and encourage youthoroughly.
23 הַשָּׁלוֹם לָאַחִים וְהָאַהֲבָה עִם־הָאֱמוּנָה מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים הָאָב וּמֵאֵת הָאָדוֹן יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ23 May God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ grant peace, love and faith to al the brothers.
24 הַחֶסֶד עִם־כָּל־הָאֹהֲבִים אֶת־אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ בְּאַהֲבָה אֲשֶׁר לֹא־תִכְלֶה אָמֵן24 May grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ, in life imperishable.
