STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW JERUSALEM
1 וְעַתָּה אַחַי הַחֲבִיבִים וְהַחֲמוּדִים שִׂמְחָתִי וַעֲטֶרֶת רֹאשִׁי עִמְדוּ־נָא כֵן בַּאֲדֹנֵינוּ חֲבִיבָי	1 So then, my brothers and dear friends whom I miss so much, my joy and my crown, hold firm in theLord, dear friends.
2 אֶת־אַבְהוֹדִיָּה אֲנִי מַזְהִיר וְאֶת־סוּנְטִיכִי אֲנִי מַזְהִיר לִהְיוֹת לֵב־אֶחָד בַּאֲדֹנֵינוּ	2 I urge Euodia, and I urge Syntyche to come to agreement with each other in the Lord;
3 וְאַתָּה חֲבֵרִי הַנֶּאֱמָן הַנּוֹשֵׂא עִמִּי בָּעֹל אַף־מִמְּךָ אֲנִי מְבַקֵּשׁ לִהְיוֹת לָהֶן לְעֵזֶר אֲשֶׁר יָגְעוּ עִמָּדִי עַל־הַבְּשׂוֹרָה עִם־קְלִימִיס וְעִם־שְׁאָר תֹּמְכַי אֲשֶׁר שְׁמוֹתָם יַחַד בְּסֵפֶר הַחַיִּים	3 and I ask you, Syzygus, real y to be a 'partner' and help them. These women have struggled hard for thegospel with me, along with Clement and al my other fel ow-workers, whose names are written in the book of life.
4 שִׂמְחוּ בַאֲדֹנֵינוּ בְּכָל־עֵת וְעוֹד הַפַּעַם אֹמֵר אֲנִי שְׂמָחוּ	4 Always be joyful, then, in the Lord; I repeat, be joyful.
5 עַנְוַת רוּחֲכֶם תִּוָּדַע לְכָל־אִישׁ קָרֹב הוּא הָאָדוֹן	5 Let your good sense be obvious to everybody. The Lord is near.
6 אַל־תִּדְאָגוּ כִּי אִם־בִּתְפִלָּה וּבְתַחֲנוּנִים עִם־תּוֹדָה תּוֹדִיעוּ בְכָל־דָּבָר אֶת־מִשְׁאֲלוֹתֵיכֶם לֵאלֹהֵינוּ	6 Never worry about anything; but tel God all your desires of every kind in prayer and petition shotthrough with gratitude,
7 וּשְׁלוֹם אֱלֹהִים הַנִּשְׂגָּב מִכָּל־שֵׂכֶל יִנְצֹר אֶת־לְבַבְכֶם וְאֶת־מַחְשְׁבוֹתֵיכֶם בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ	7 and the peace of God which is beyond our understanding wil guard your hearts and your thoughts inChrist Jesus.
8 וּבְכֵן אַחַי כָּל־אֲשֶׁר הוּא אֱמֶת וְנִכְבָּד וְיָשָׁר וְטָהוֹר וְנָעִים וַאֲשֶׁר שָׁמְעוֹ טוֹב כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂה צֶדֶק כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂה שֶׁבַח עַל־אֵלֶּה תָּשִׂימוּ לְבַבְכֶם	8 Finally, brothers, let your minds be fil ed with everything that is true, everything that is honourable,everything that is upright and pure, everything that we love and admire -- with whatever is good andpraiseworthy.
9 אֲשֶׁר לְמַדְתֶּם וְקִבַּלְתֶּם וּשְׁמַעְתֶּם וּרְאִיתֶם בִּי אֶת־אֵלֶּה תַעֲשֹוּ וֵאלֹהֵי הַשָּׁלוֹם יִהְיֶה עִמָּכֶם	9 Keep doing everything you learnt from me and were told by me and have heard or seen me doing. Thenthe God of peace will be with you.
10 וַאֲנִי שָׂמַחְתִּי מְאֹד בַּאֲדֹנֵינוּ כִּי־עַתָּה הַפַּעַם הֶחֱלַפְתֶּם כֹּחַ לְהַשְׁגִּיחַ עָלָי וְגַם־מַשְׁגִּיחִים הֱיִיתֶם עַד־כֹּה אַךְ לֹא־עָלְתָה בְיֶדְכֶם	10 As for me, I am full of joy in the Lord, now that at last your consideration for me has blossomed again;though I recognise that you really did have consideration before, but had no opportunity to show it.
11 וְלֹא מִמַּחְסוֹר אֲדַבֵּר כֵּן כִּי לָמַדְתִּי לְהִסְתַּפֵּק בְּמַה־שֶּׁיֵּשׁ לִי	11 I do not say this because I have lacked anything; I have learnt to manage with whatever I have.
12 יָדַעְתִּי לֵעָנוֹת אַף יָדַעְתִּי לְהוֹתִיר מְחֻנָּךְ אֲנִי בְּכָל־עִנְיָן וְאוֹפָן הֵן לִשְׂבֹּעַ הֵן לִרְעֹב הֵן לְהוֹתִיר הֵן לַחֲסֹר	12 I know how to live modestly, and I know how to live luxuriously too: in every way now I have masteredthe secret of al conditions: ful stomach and empty stomach, plenty and poverty.
13 כָּל־זֹאת אוּכַל בְּעֶזְרַת הַמָּשִׁיחַ הַנּוֹתֵן כֹּחַ בְּקִרְבִּי	13 There is nothing I cannot do in the One who strengthens me.
14 אֲבָל הֵיטַבְתֶּם לַעֲשׂוֹת בְּהִתְחַבֶּרְכֶם אֵלַי בְּצָרָתִי	14 Al the same, it was good of you to share with me in my hardships.
15 וְיֹדְעִים גַּם־אַתֶּם פִילִפִּיִּים כִּי־בְרֵאשִׁית הַבְּשׂוֹרָה כְּצֵאתִי מִמַּקְדּוֹנְיָא לֹא־הִתְחַבְּרָה לִי אַחַת מִן־הַקְּהִלּוֹת בִּדְבַר מַתַּן וְקַבָּלַת עֶזְרָה כִּי אִם־אַתֶּם בִּלְבָד	15 In the early days of the gospel, as you of Philippi wel know, when I left Macedonia, no church otherthan yourselves made common account with me in the matter of expenditure and receipts. You were the onlyones;
16 כִּי־גַם בְּתַסְלוֹנִיקִי שְׁלַחְתֶּם לִי אֶת־צְרָכָי פַּעַם וּשְׁתָּיִם	16 and what is more, you have twice sent me what I needed in Thessalonica.
17 לֹא שֶׁאֲבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־הַמַּתָּן אַךְ אֲבַקֵּשׁ הַפְּרִי אֲשֶׁר־יִרְבֶּה בְּחֶשְׁבֹּנְכֶם	17 It is not the gift that I value most; what I value is the interest that is mounting up in your account.
18 וַאֲנִי קִבַּלְתִּי אֶת־הַכֹּל וְיֶשׁ־לִי דַּי וְהוֹתֵר וַאֲנִי נִמְלֵאתִי רֵיחַ נִיחֹחַ בְּקַבְּלִי מִידֵי אֶפַּפְרוֹדִיטוֹס אֶת־כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־שְׁלַחְתֶּם זֶבַח עָרֵב וְרָצוּי לֵאלֹהִים	18 I have al that I need and more: I am ful y provided, now that I have received from Epaphroditus theoffering that you sent, a pleasing smel , the sacrifice which is acceptable and pleasing to God.
19 וֵאלֹהַי הוּא יְמַלֵּא אֶת־כָּל־צָרְכְּכֶם כְּעשֶׁר כְּבוֹדוֹ בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ	19 And my God will fulfil al your needs out of the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
20 וְלֵאלֹהִים אָבִינוּ הַכָּבוֹד לְעוֹלְמֵי עוֹלָמִים אָמֵן	20 And so glory be to God our Father, for ever and ever. Amen.
21 שַׁאֲלוּ לִשְׁלוֹם כָּל־קָדוֹשׁ בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ הָאַחִים אֲשֶׁר עִמָּדִי שֹׁאֲלִים לִשְׁלוֹמְכֶם	21 My greetings to every one of God's holy people in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me sendyou their greetings.
