Philemon

Chapter 1

פּוֹלוֹס אֲסִיר הַמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ וְטִימוֹתִיּוֹס הָאָח אֶל־פִילֵימוֹן הֶחָבִיב וְהָעׂזֵר אׂתָנוּ׃	א	1	Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker,
וְאֶל־אַפִּיָּה הָאֲהוּבָה וְאֶל־אַרְכִפּוֹס הֶחָבֵר לָנוּ בְּמִלְחֲמׂתֵינוּ וְאֶל־הַקְּהִלָּה אֲשֶׁר בְּבֵיתֶךָ׃	ב	2	and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in thy house:
חֶסֶד לָכֶם וְשָׁלוֹם מֵאֵת אֱלׂהִים אָבִינוּ וַאֲדׂנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ׃	ג	3	Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
מוֹדֶה אֲנִי לֵאלׂהַי בְּכָל־עֵת בְּהַזְכִּירִי אׂתְךָ בִּתְפִלּוֹתָי׃	ד	4	I thank my God always, making mention of thee in my prayers,
אַחֲרֵי שָׁמְעִי אַהֲבָתְךָ וֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ אֲשֶׁר־בְּךָ לַאֲדׂנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ וּלְכָל־הַקְּדוֹשִׁים׃	ה	5	hearing of thy love, and of the faith which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;
לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר תִּתְחַזֵּק הִתְחַבְּרוּת אֱמוּנָתְךָ בְּדַעַת כָּל־טוֹב אֲשֶׁר בָּכֶם לְשֵׁם הַמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ׃	ו	6	that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you, unto Christ.
כִּי שִׂמְחָה גְדוֹלָה וְנֶחָמָה יֶשׁ־לָנוּ בְּאַהֲבָתֶךָ בַּאֲשֶׁר הָיְתָה רְוָחָה לִמְעֵי הַקְּדוֹשִׁים עַל־יָדְךָ אָחִי׃	ז	7	For I had much joy and comfort in thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.
לָכֵן אַף־כִּי יֵשׁ־לִי אׂמֶץ רַב בַּמָּשִׁיחַ לְצַוּׂתְךָ אֵת הַנָּכוֹן הִנֵּה בָחַרְתִּי לְמַעַן הָאַהֲבָה לְחַלּוֹת אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ׃	ח	8	Wherefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting,
אָנׂכִי פּוֹלוֹס הַזָּקֵן וְעַתָּה גַּם־אֲסִיר יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ׃	ט	9	yet for love’s sake I rather beseech, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now a prisoner also of Christ Jesus:
הִנְנִי מְחַלֶּה אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ עַל־בְּנִי אֲשֶׁר חוֹלַלְתִּיו בִּהְיוֹתי בַּמַּאֲסָר עַל־אֳנִיסִימוֹס׃	י	10	I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus,
אֲשֶׁר מִלְּפָנִים לׂא־הוֹעִיל לָךְ וְעַתָּה הוּא לְהוֹעִיל גַּם־לְךָ גַם־לִי וַהֲשִׁיבֹתִיו אֵלֶיךָ׃	יא	11	who once was unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me:
וְאַתָּה קַבֶּל־נָא אׂתוֹ שֶׁהוּא יָקָר לְלִבִּי׃	יב	12	whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart:
חָפַצְתִּי לַעֲצׂר אׂתוֹ אֶצְלִי שֶׁיְּשָׁרֲתֵנִי תַחְתֶּיךָ בְּמוֹסְרוֹת הַבְּשׂוֹרָה׃	יג	13	whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
אֲבָל לׂא חָפַצְתִּי לַעֲשׂוֹת דָּבָר שֶׁלּא בִרְצוֹנֶךָ כְּדֵי שֶׁלּא־תִהְיֶה טוֹבָתְךָ בְּאׂנֶס כִּי אִם־בִּנְדָבָה׃	יד	14	but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will.
כִּי אוּלַי נִפְרַד מִמְּךָ לְשָׁעָה בַּעֲבוּר אֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה־לְּךָ לְעוֹלָם׃	טו	15	For perhaps he was therefore parted from thee for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever;
וּמֵעַתָּה לׂא כְעֶבֶד כִּי אִם־לְמַעְלָה מֵעֶבֶד כְּאָח אָהוּב בְּיוֹתֵר לִי וְאַף כִּי־לְךָ הֵן בַּבָּשָׂר הֵן בָּאָדוֹן׃	טז	16	no longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much rather to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
וְהִנֵּה אִם־תַּחְשְׁבֵנִי לְחָבֵר לָךְ תְּקַבְּלֶנּוּ כָּמוֹנִי׃	יז	17	If then thou countest me a partner, receive him as myself.
וְאִם־הֵרַע לְךָ בְּדָבָר אוֹ חַיָּב־הוּא לְךָ דָּבָר חַשְּׁבֵהוּ לִי׃	יח	18	But if he hath wronged thee at all, or oweth thee aught, put that to mine account;
אֲנִי פּוֹלוֹס כָּתַבְתִּי בְיָדִי אֲנִי אֲשַׁלֵּם וְלׂא אׂמַר כִּי־אַתָּה חַיָּב לִי גַּם־אֶת־נַפְשֶׁךָ׃	יט	19	I Paul write it with mine own hand, I will repay it: that I say not unto thee that thou owest to me even thine own self besides.
כֵּן אָחִי אֵהָנֶה־נָּא מִמְּךָ בָּאָדוֹן נַחֶם־נָּא אֶת־לִבִּי בָּאָדוֹן׃	כ	20	Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ.
כָּתַבְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ וַאֲנִי בָטוּחַ בְּךָ שֶׁתִּשְׁמַע לִי וְיׂדֵעַ אֲנִי שֶׁתּוֹסִיף לַעֲשׂוֹת עַל־אֲשֶׁר אָמָרְתִּי׃	כא	21	Having confidence in thine obedience I write unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do even beyond what I say.
וְגַם־לִי תָכִין בֵּית מָלוֹן כִּי אֲקַוֶּה אֲשֶׁר אֶנָּתֵן לָכֶם עַל־יְדֵי תְּפִלּוֹתֵיכֶם׃	כב	22	But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted unto you.
אֶפַּפְרָס הָאָסוּר אִתִּי בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ׃	כג	23	Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, saluteth thee;
וּמַרְקוֹס וַאֲרִסְטַרְכוֹס וְדִימָס וְלוּקָס עׂזְרַי שׁׂאֲלִים לִשְׁלוֹמֶךָ׃	כד	24	and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers.
חֶסֶד יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲדׂנֵינוּ עִם־רוּחֲכֶם אָמֵן׃	כה	25	The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
