lelo pachad or lo mefached

You would use lelo pachad when you have a sentence like: " He deals with things with no fear."

Whereas lo mefached would be used in a sentence like: "He is not afraid." Please let me know if this answers your requirements.

"le'lo mora"

Means "without fear" in old fashioned Hebrew, but it is a commonly used term.

Also, the request should be worded "please translate the following English phrase into Hebrew", shouldn't it?

lelo chat

The other suggested translations are not wrong but they do not capture the intensity of the English phrase. The other suggestions recorded essentially revolve around the root word "pachad," which is the common word for fright or fear, and translate the phrase as "don't be afraid" or "don't be
scared." However, English "fear" particularly when used as a verb, is not the common word. Furthermore, being monosyllabic, it carries a lot of power. The most appropriate equivalent is "lelo chat," which is, like the English word, not the usual colloquial word. The phrase is used in heroic contexts, such as "fearless soldier in battle." The snap heroic phrase "No Fear" is thus best translated by "lelo chat."
