Philippians 3

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 Finally, brothers, I wish you joy in the Lord. To write to you what I have already written before is notrouble to me and to you will be a protection.	1 וּבְכֵן אַחַי שִׂמְחוּ בַאֲדֹנֵינוּ הֵן־לִכְתֹּב וְלִשְׁנוֹת כָּזֹאת אֲלֵיכֶם עָלַי אֵינֶנּוּ לָטֹרַח וְלָכֶם הוּא לְחִזּוּק
2 Beware of dogs! Beware of evil workmen! Beware of self-mutilators!	2 הִזָּהֲרוּ מִן־הַכְּלָבִים הִזָּהֲרוּ מִן־הַפֹּעֲלִים הָרָעִים הִזָּהֲרוּ מִן־הַחִתּוּךְ בַּבָּשָׂר
3 We are the true people of the circumcision since we worship by the Spirit of God and make Christ Jesusour only boast, not relying on physical qualifications,	3 כִּי אֲנַחְנוּ בְּנֵי הַמִּילָה הָעֹבְדִים אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים בָּרוּחַ וּמִתְפָּאֲרִים בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ וְאֵינֶנּוּ בֹטְחִים בַּבָּשָׂר
4 although, I myself could rely on these too. If anyone does claim to rely on them, my claim is better.	4 אַף כִּי־גַם־לִי יֵשׁ לִבְטֹחַ בַּבָּשָׂר וְאִם־יַחְשֹׁב אִישׁ שֶׁיּוּכַל לִבְטֹחַ בַּבָּשָׂר הִנֵּה אֲנִי יוֹתֵר מִמֶּנּוּ
5 Circumcised on the eighth day of my life, I was born of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, aHebrew born of Hebrew parents. In the matter of the Law, I was a Pharisee;	5 אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי נִמּוֹל בֶּן־שְׁמוֹנַת יָמִים מִבְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִשֵּׁבֶט בִּנְיָמִין עִבְרִי מִן הָעִבְרִים
6 as for religious fervour, I was a persecutor of the Church; as for the uprightness embodied in the Law, Iwas faultless.	6 לְפִי הַתּוֹרָה פָּרוּשׁ בְּקִנְאָתִי רֹדֵף אֶת־הָעֵדָה וּלְפִי צִדְקַת הַתּוֹרָה בְּלִי־שָׁמֶץ
7 But what were once my assets I now through Christ Jesus count as losses.	7 אַךְ־הַיִּתְרֹנוֹת הָאֵלֶּה כֻּלָּן חָשַׁבְתִּי לִי לְחֶסְרֹנוֹת לְמַעַן הַמָּשִׁיחַ
8 Yes, I wil go further: because of the supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, I counteverything else as loss. For him I have accepted the loss of al other things, and look on them all as filth if only Ican gain Christ	8 וְגַם עוֹדֶנִּי חשֵׁב אֶת כֻּלָּן לְחֶסְרוֹן לְעֻמַּת מַעֲלַת יְדִיעַת יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲדֹנִי אֲשֶׁר בַּעֲבוּרוֹ חִסַּרְתִּי אֶת־נַפְשִׁי מִכָּל־אֵלֶּה וָאֶחְשְׁבֵם לִסְחִי לְהַרְוִיחַ אֶת־הַמָּשִׁיחַ וּלְהִמָּצֵא בוֹ
9 and be given a place in him, with the uprightness I have gained not from the Law, but through faith inChrist, an uprightness from God, based on faith,	9 וְלֹא תִהְיֶה־לִּי צִדְקָתִי מִתּוֹךְ הַתּוֹרָה כִּי אִם־בֶּאֱמוּנַת הַמָּשִׁיחַ הַצְּדָקָה הַבָּאָה מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים בָּאֱמוּנָה
10 that I may come to know him and the power of his resurrection, and partake of his sufferings by beingmoulded to the pattern of his death,	10 לָדַעַת אֹתוֹ וְאֶת־גְּבוּרַת תְּחִיָּתוֹ וְהִתְחַבְּרוּת עִנּוּיָיו וּלְהִדַּמּוֹת לְמוֹתוֹ
11 striving towards the goal of resurrection from the dead.	11 לְהַגִּיעַ אִם־אוּכַל אֶל־תְּחִיַּת הַמֵּתִים
12 Not that I have secured it already, nor yet reached my goal, but I am stil pursuing it in the attempt totake hold of the prize for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.	12 לֹא כְּאִלּוּ הִשַּׂגְתִּי כְּבָר אוֹ כְּאִלּוּ הָשְׁלַמְתִּי אֲבָל אֶרְדֹּף אוּלַי אַשִּׂיג כַּאֲשֶׁר גַּם־הִשִּׂיגַנִי הַמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ
13 Brothers, I do not reckon myself as having taken hold of it; I can only say that forgetting al that liesbehind me, and straining forward to what lies in front,	13 אַחַי אֵינֶנִּי חשֵׁב כִּי כְבָר הִשַּׂגְתִּי אַךְ־אַחַת דִּבַּרְתִּי כִּי־שֹׁכֵחַ אֲנִי אֶת־אֲשֶׁר מֵאַחֲרַי וְאֶשְׁתַּטֵּחַ אֶל־אֲשֶׁר לְפָנָי
14 I am racing towards the finishing-point to win the prize of God's heavenly call in Christ Jesus.	14 וְאֶרְדֹּף אֶת־מַטְּרַת שְׂכַר הַנִּצָּחוֹן אֲשֶׁר הוּא בִּקְרִיאָה שֶׁל־מַעְלָה מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ
15 So this is the way in which al of us who are mature should be thinking, and if you are still thinkingdifferently in any way, then God has yet to make this matter clear to you.	15 לָכֵן מִי שֶׁהוּא שָׁלֵם בָּנוּ כֵּן יַחֲשֹׁב וְאִם־תַּחְשְׁבוּ מַחֲשָׁבָה אַחֶרֶת גַּם־זֹאת יְגַלֶּה לָכֶם הָאֱלֹהִים
16 Meanwhile, let us go forward from the point we have each attained.	16 רַק נִתְהַלְּכָה בַּאֲשֶׁר הִגַּעְנוּ עָדֶיהָ בְּמַעְגָּל אֶחָד וּבְלֵב אֶחָד
17 Brothers, be united in imitating me. Keep your eyes fixed on those who act according to the exampleyou have from me.	17 אַחַי הֱיוּ חֲבֵרִים לַהֹלְכִים אַחֲרָי וְהַבִּיטוּ אֶל־הַמִּתְהַלְּכִים כֵּן כַּאֲשֶׁר אֲנַחְנוּ מוֹפֵת לָכֶם
18 For there are so many people of whom I have often warned you, and now I warn you again with tearsin my eyes, who behave like the enemies of Christ's cross.	18 כִּי רַבִּים הַמִּתְהַלְּכִים אֲשֶׁר עֲלֵיהֶם אָמַרְתִּי לָכֶם פְּעָמִים הַרְבֵּה וְעַתָּה גַּם־בִּבְכִי אֲנִי אֹמֵר כִּי־הֵם אֹיְבֵי צְלָב הַמָּשִׁיחַ
19 They are destined to be lost; their god is the stomach; they glory in what they should think shameful,since their minds are set on earthly things.	19 אֲשֶׁר אַחֲרִיתָם הָאֲבַדּוֹן אֲשֶׁר כְּרֵסָם אֱלֹהֵיהֶם וּכְבוֹדָם בְּבָשְׁתָּם וְקִרְבָּם הַבְלֵי חָלֶד
20 But our homeland is in heaven and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord JesusChrist,	20 כִּי אֶזְרָחוּתֵנוּ בַּשָּׁמַיִם הִיא וּמִשָּׁם מְחַכִּים אֲנַחְנוּ לְמוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ
21 who wil transfigure the wretched body of ours into the mould of his glorious body, through the workingof the power which he has, even to bring all things under his mastery.	21 אֲשֶׁר יַחֲלִיף אֶת־גּוּף שִׁפְלוּתֵנוּ לִהְיֹתוֹ דוֹמֶה לְגוּף כְּבוֹדוֹ כְּפִי־כֹחַ יְכָלְתּוֹ לִכְבּשׁ הַכֹּל תַּחְתָּיו
