Lettera a Filemone - מכתב לפילמון 3

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 וּבְכֵן אַחַי שִׂמְחוּ בַאֲדֹנֵינוּ הֵן־לִכְתֹּב וְלִשְׁנוֹת כָּזֹאת אֲלֵיכֶם עָלַי אֵינֶנּוּ לָטֹרַח וְלָכֶם הוּא לְחִזּוּק	1 As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not wearisome, but to you it is necessary.
2 הִזָּהֲרוּ מִן־הַכְּלָבִים הִזָּהֲרוּ מִן־הַפֹּעֲלִים הָרָעִים הִזָּהֲרוּ מִן־הַחִתּוּךְ בַּבָּשָׂר	2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 כִּי אֲנַחְנוּ בְּנֵי הַמִּילָה הָעֹבְדִים אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים בָּרוּחַ וּמִתְפָּאֲרִים בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ וְאֵינֶנּוּ בֹטְחִים בַּבָּשָׂר	3 For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God; and glory in Christ Jesus, not having confidence in the flesh.
4 אַף כִּי־גַם־לִי יֵשׁ לִבְטֹחַ בַּבָּשָׂר וְאִם־יַחְשֹׁב אִישׁ שֶׁיּוּכַל לִבְטֹחַ בַּבָּשָׂר הִנֵּה אֲנִי יוֹתֵר מִמֶּנּוּ	4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more,
5 אֲשֶׁר־אֲנִי נִמּוֹל בֶּן־שְׁמוֹנַת יָמִים מִבְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִשֵּׁבֶט בִּנְיָמִין עִבְרִי מִן הָעִבְרִים	5 Being circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; according to the law, a Pharisee:
6 לְפִי הַתּוֹרָה פָּרוּשׁ בְּקִנְאָתִי רֹדֵף אֶת־הָעֵדָה וּלְפִי צִדְקַת הַתּוֹרָה בְּלִי־שָׁמֶץ	6 According to zeal, persecuting the church of God; according to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame.
7 אַךְ־הַיִּתְרֹנוֹת הָאֵלֶּה כֻּלָּן חָשַׁבְתִּי לִי לְחֶסְרֹנוֹת לְמַעַן הַמָּשִׁיחַ	7 But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for 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	8 Furthermore I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ:
9 וְלֹא תִהְיֶה־לִּי צִדְקָתִי מִתּוֹךְ הַתּוֹרָה כִּי אִם־בֶּאֱמוּנַת הַמָּשִׁיחַ הַצְּדָקָה הַבָּאָה מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים בָּאֱמוּנָה	9 And may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God, justice in faith:
10 לָדַעַת אֹתוֹ וְאֶת־גְּבוּרַת תְּחִיָּתוֹ וְהִתְחַבְּרוּת עִנּוּיָיו וּלְהִדַּמּוֹת לְמוֹתוֹ	10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death,
11 לְהַגִּיעַ אִם־אוּכַל אֶל־תְּחִיַּת הַמֵּתִים	11 If by any means I may attain to the resurrection which is from the dead.
12 לֹא כְּאִלּוּ הִשַּׂגְתִּי כְּבָר אוֹ כְּאִלּוּ הָשְׁלַמְתִּי אֲבָל אֶרְדֹּף אוּלַי אַשִּׂיג כַּאֲשֶׁר גַּם־הִשִּׂיגַנִי הַמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ	12 Not as though I has already attained, or were already perfect; but I follow after, if I may by any means apprehend, wherein I am also apprehended by Christ Jesus.
13 אַחַי אֵינֶנִּי חשֵׁב כִּי כְבָר הִשַּׂגְתִּי אַךְ־אַחַת דִּבַּרְתִּי כִּי־שֹׁכֵחַ אֲנִי אֶת־אֲשֶׁר מֵאַחֲרַי וְאֶשְׁתַּטֵּחַ אֶל־אֲשֶׁר לְפָנָי	13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended. But one thing I do: forgetting the things that are behind, and stretching forth myself to those that are before,
14 וְאֶרְדֹּף אֶת־מַטְּרַת שְׂכַר הַנִּצָּחוֹן אֲשֶׁר הוּא בִּקְרִיאָה שֶׁל־מַעְלָה מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ	14 I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus.
15 לָכֵן מִי שֶׁהוּא שָׁלֵם בָּנוּ כֵּן יַחֲשֹׁב וְאִם־תַּחְשְׁבוּ מַחֲשָׁבָה אַחֶרֶת גַּם־זֹאת יְגַלֶּה לָכֶם הָאֱלֹהִים	15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded; and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, this also God will reveal to you.
16 רַק נִתְהַלְּכָה בַּאֲשֶׁר הִגַּעְנוּ עָדֶיהָ בְּמַעְגָּל אֶחָד וּבְלֵב אֶחָד	16 Nevertheless whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind, let us also continue in the same rule.
17 אַחַי הֱיוּ חֲבֵרִים לַהֹלְכִים אַחֲרָי וְהַבִּיטוּ אֶל־הַמִּתְהַלְּכִים כֵּן כַּאֲשֶׁר אֲנַחְנוּ מוֹפֵת לָכֶם	17 Be ye followers of me, brethren, and observe them who walk so as you have our model.
18 כִּי רַבִּים הַמִּתְהַלְּכִים אֲשֶׁר עֲלֵיהֶם אָמַרְתִּי לָכֶם פְּעָמִים הַרְבֵּה וְעַתָּה גַּם־בִּבְכִי אֲנִי אֹמֵר כִּי־הֵם אֹיְבֵי צְלָב הַמָּשִׁיחַ	18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping), that they are enemies of the cross of Christ;
19 אֲשֶׁר אַחֲרִיתָם הָאֲבַדּוֹן אֲשֶׁר כְּרֵסָם אֱלֹהֵיהֶם וּכְבוֹדָם בְּבָשְׁתָּם וְקִרְבָּם הַבְלֵי חָלֶד	19 Whose end is destruction; whose God is their belly; and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things.
20 כִּי אֶזְרָחוּתֵנוּ בַּשָּׁמַיִם הִיא וּמִשָּׁם מְחַכִּים אֲנַחְנוּ לְמוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ	20 But our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,
21 אֲשֶׁר יַחֲלִיף אֶת־גּוּף שִׁפְלוּתֵנוּ לִהְיֹתוֹ דוֹמֶה לְגוּף כְּבוֹדוֹ כְּפִי־כֹחַ יְכָלְתּוֹ לִכְבּשׁ הַכֹּל תַּחְתָּיו	21 Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself.
