OrthJBC - Philippians - 4

4:1  So then, my achim ahuvim whom I have a tshuka (longing) for, my simcha and atarah (crown--I Thes 2:19-20), stand firm in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu. THE SEFER CHAYYIM [SHEMOT 32:32,33; TEHILLIM 69:28; DAN.12:1; REV.3:5; 13:8; 17:8; 20:12,15; 21:27]

4:2  I appeal to Euodias and I appeal to Syntyche, think the same thing in Adoneinu.

4:3  Ken, I ask also you, true yoke-fellow, assist them, who contended alongside me in the Besuras HaGeulah with both Clement and the rest of the fellow po'alim (workers) of mine, whose names are in the Sefer haChayyim. HAVE SIMCHA IN REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH ADONEINU; THE BIAS HAMOSHIACH IS IMMINENT

4:4  Have simcha in Adoneinu always [2:18; 3:1; Tehillim 85:6; 97:12; Chabakuk 3:18]; again I will say it. Rejoice!

4:5  Let your chassidus sobriety be known to kol Bnei Adam; Rebbe, Moshiach Adoneinu is near [Tehillim 119:151; 145:18; Heb.10:37; Jas.5:8,9]!

4:6  Be anxious in nothing [Mt.6:25; I Pet.5:7], but in everything by tefillah and by techinah (supplication) with hodayah (thanksgiving--Col.4:2), let your requests be made known before Hashem,

4:7  and the shalom Hashem [Yeshayah 26:3; Joh.14:27; Col.3:15], surpassing all binah (understanding) will guard your levavot and your makhshavot (thoughts) in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua. THE HITBONANUT IN LINE WITH DEVEKUT; WHAT YOU ARE TO TRACHT (CONTEMPLATE) WHEN YOUR ARE FARTRACHT (INTROSPECTIVE); LET THIS BE YOUR HITBODEDUT (QUIET MEDITATION)

4:8  As to the rest, Achim b'Moshiach, whatever things are Emes, Nichbad, Yashar, Tahor, male No'am and tiferet (Shemot 28:2), whatever things are commendable, if there is any virtue, if any praise, think about these things.

4:9  And that which you learned and you received and you heard and you saw in me, practice these [Rom.12:17] and Elohei haShalom [Rom.15:33; 16:20; I Cor.14:33; I Thes.5:23] will be with you. TODAH RABBAH FOR YOUR MATANOT (GIFTS)

4:10  I had much simcha in Adoneinu that now at last you blossomed anew so as to think of me, for indeed you were thinking of me, but were lacking opportunity.

4:11  Not that I refer to lack, for I have learned, in whatever circumstances I am, to be tzufrieden (content) [I Tim.6:6].

4:12  I have da'as both to be humbled in anavah and I have da'as how to abound in everything. And in all things I have learned what is nistar (concealed), I have learned what it means to be filled and to have hunger, to abound and to have lack.

4:13  I can do all things in the One empowering me [II Cor.12:10; II Tim.4:7].

4:14  Fort (nevertheless), you did well in entering into devekut (attachment to G-d) with me through sharing in my Messianic innuyim (sufferings).

4:15  And also you Philippians have da'as, that in the beginning of the Besuras HaGeulah, when I went out from Macedonia, not one kehillah shared with me in an accounting of expenditures and receipts except you only [II Cor.11:9].

4:16  Indeed in Thessalonica both once and again you sent to my need.

4:17  Not that I seek the matanah (gift), but I seek the p'ri increasing to your account [I Cor.9:11].

4:18  But I have all things and I abound; I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you, a RE'ACH HANNICHOACH ("a pleasant aroma" Bereshis 8:21), an acceptable, sacrifice well-pleasing to Hashem [Shemot 29:18; Yechezkel 20:41]. HASHEM RO'I LO EH'CH'SAR (TEHILLIM 23:1)

4:19  And my G-d will fill every need of yours [Tehillim 23:1] according to his osher (riches) in Kavod in Moshiach Yehoshua.

4:20  L'Elohim Avinu hakavod l'Olemei Olamim. Omein. FINAL "SHALOM" GREETINGS

4:21  Greet with "Shalom" every kadosh in Moshiach Yehoshua; the Achim b'Moshiach here with me send "Shalom" greetings.

4:22  All the kedoshim send "Shalom" greetings, especially the kedoshim in Caesar [Nero's] household [Php.1:13].

4:23  The Chen v'Chesed of Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua be with your neshamah.
