1 וְעַתָּה אַחַי הַחֲבִיבִים וְהַחֲמוּדִים שִׂמְחָתִי וַעֲטֶרֶת רֹאשִׁי עִמְדוּ־נָא כֵן בַּאֲדֹנֵינוּ חֲבִיבָי	1 And so, my most beloved and most desired brothers, my joy and my crown: stand firm in this way, in the Lord, most beloved.
2 אֶת־אַבְהוֹדִיָּה אֲנִי מַזְהִיר וְאֶת־סוּנְטִיכִי אֲנִי מַזְהִיר לִהְיוֹת לֵב־אֶחָד בַּאֲדֹנֵינוּ	2 I ask Euodia, and I beg Syntyche, to have the same understanding 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 also ask you, as my genuine companion, to assist those women who have labored with me in the Gospel, with Clement and the rest of my assistants, whose names are in the Book of Life.
4 שִׂמְחוּ בַאֲדֹנֵינוּ בְּכָל־עֵת וְעוֹד הַפַּעַם אֹמֵר אֲנִי שְׂמָחוּ	4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I say, rejoice.
5 עַנְוַת רוּחֲכֶם תִּוָּדַע לְכָל־אִישׁ קָרֹב הוּא הָאָדוֹן	5 Let your modesty be known to all men. The Lord is near.
6 אַל־תִּדְאָגוּ כִּי אִם־בִּתְפִלָּה וּבְתַחֲנוּנִים עִם־תּוֹדָה תּוֹדִיעוּ בְכָל־דָּבָר אֶת־מִשְׁאֲלוֹתֵיכֶם לֵאלֹהֵינוּ	6 Be anxious about nothing. But in all things, with prayer and supplication, with acts of thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God.
7 וּשְׁלוֹם אֱלֹהִים הַנִּשְׂגָּב מִכָּל־שֵׂכֶל יִנְצֹר אֶת־לְבַבְכֶם וְאֶת־מַחְשְׁבוֹתֵיכֶם בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ	7 And so shall the peace of God, which exceeds all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ 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 Concerning the rest, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is chaste, whatever is just, whatever is holy, whatever is worthy to be loved, whatever is of good repute, if there is any virtue, if there is any praiseworthy discipline: meditate on these.
9 אֲשֶׁר לְמַדְתֶּם וְקִבַּלְתֶּם וּשְׁמַעְתֶּם וּרְאִיתֶם בִּי אֶת־אֵלֶּה תַעֲשֹוּ וֵאלֹהֵי הַשָּׁלוֹם יִהְיֶה עִמָּכֶם	9 All the things that you have learned and accepted and heard and seen in me, do these. And so shall the God of peace 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 Now I rejoice in the Lord exceedingly, because finally, after some time, your feelings for me have flourished again, just as you formerly felt. For you had been preoccupied.
11 וְלֹא מִמַּחְסוֹר אֲדַבֵּר כֵּן כִּי לָמַדְתִּי לְהִסְתַּפֵּק בְּמַה־שֶּׁיֵּשׁ לִי	11 I am not saying this as if out of need. For I have learned that, in whatever state I am, it is sufficient.
12 יָדַעְתִּי לֵעָנוֹת אַף יָדַעְתִּי לְהוֹתִיר מְחֻנָּךְ אֲנִי בְּכָל־עִנְיָן וְאוֹפָן הֵן לִשְׂבֹּעַ הֵן לִרְעֹב הֵן לְהוֹתִיר הֵן לַחֲסֹר	12 I know how to be humbled, and I know how to abound. I am prepared for anything, anywhere: either to be full or to be hungry, either to have abundance or to endure scarcity.
13 כָּל־זֹאת אוּכַל בְּעֶזְרַת הַמָּשִׁיחַ הַנּוֹתֵן כֹּחַ בְּקִרְבִּי	13 Everything is possible in him who has strengthened me.
14 אֲבָל הֵיטַבְתֶּם לַעֲשׂוֹת בְּהִתְחַבֶּרְכֶם אֵלַי בְּצָרָתִי	14 Yet truly, you have done well by sharing in my tribulation.
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 But you also know, O Philippians, that at the beginning of the Gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not a single church shared with me in the plan of giving and receiving, except you alone.
16 כִּי־גַם בְּתַסְלוֹנִיקִי שְׁלַחְתֶּם לִי אֶת־צְרָכָי פַּעַם וּשְׁתָּיִם	16 For you even sent to Thessalonica, once, and then a second time, for what was useful to me.
17 לֹא שֶׁאֲבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־הַמַּתָּן אַךְ אֲבַקֵּשׁ הַפְּרִי אֲשֶׁר־יִרְבֶּה בְּחֶשְׁבֹּנְכֶם	17 It is not that I am seeking a gift. Instead, I seek the fruit that abounds to your benefit.
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 But I have everything in abundance. I have been filled up, having received from Epaphroditus the things that you sent; this is an odor of sweetness, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.
19 וֵאלֹהַי הוּא יְמַלֵּא אֶת־כָּל־צָרְכְּכֶם כְּעשֶׁר כְּבוֹדוֹ בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ	19 And may my God fulfill all your desires, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
20 וְלֵאלֹהִים אָבִינוּ הַכָּבוֹד לְעוֹלְמֵי עוֹלָמִים אָמֵן	20 And to God our Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
21 שַׁאֲלוּ לִשְׁלוֹם כָּל־קָדוֹשׁ בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ הָאַחִים אֲשֶׁר עִמָּדִי שֹׁאֲלִים לִשְׁלוֹמְכֶם	21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus.
22 כָּל־הַקְּדשִׁים שֹׁאֲלִים לִשְׁלוֹמְכֶם וּבְיוֹתֵר אֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר מִבֵּית הַקֵּיסָר	22 The brothers who are with me greet you. All the saints greet you, but especially those who are of Caesar’s household.
23 חֶסֶד יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲדֹנֵינוּ עִם־כֻּלְּכֶם אָמֵן	23 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
