Filimon 1
1 Bulus kucin Nkristi Yesu, nin Timothy gwana bite ucindu kitin Philimo, gwana nsubit nin adon katawe,
Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy my brother, to Philemon my beloved, and our fellow-laborer,
2 Cindukiti ngwana bit kishono bit Abiffia nin du Akiribu kusoja wang nanya katuwa ucindu kitin nlirangafe:
and to our beloved Apphia, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church that is in your house:
3 Impip Kutellẹ na uyenu nin lisosin limang me nusu kitin inchif bite nin Chikilari Yesu Kristi so nanya mine.
grace be to you all, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 In su Kutellẹ nin nnjah nngai ko nin shi Kutellẹ
I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,
5 Nndin lanzinu ninghinu nya mine sanlira, ligan na idumung nanya Cikilari Yesu nin yinnu mine sauyenu udu kiti nanit alumai
hearing of your love and your faith, which you have in the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints,
6 Nndin nlira ussu katuwa mine nnyan nyinu sa uyenuyits nin likara ulle na udi nanya bite nin Kristi
that your participation in the faith may be active in the acknowledgment of every good thing that is in us, to the honor of Christ Jesus.
7 Bara nnamaluse mang kan, nin nrisu kibinai nanyannsufe, bara nibinai nanit alau nati mang bara fegwana.
For we have great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.
8 Bara nani, vat nanin andina likara kibinai nanya Kristi mtifi usu imon illena ubasu
Wherefore, though I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do that which is becoming,
9 Vat nani bara usuu nndin suffi usere ukwilizufe meng ulle nwandi. Bulus ndi nawa kilari licin bara Kristi Yesu
yet, on account of my love, I rather exhort you, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner on account of Jesus Christ.
10 Ndifi kucikusu nbekken usau nighe Onisimus ullena ndi ucifme uworu licin nighe.
I beseech you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds,
11 Barna awa man difi he, ne ne adi imong icine kitife nin mi.
who, for some time, has been unprofitable to you, but now is very profitable to you and to me:
12 Ntoghe ame litime ulle na ukwiliz kitife adi kibinai nighe.
I send him back, and do you receive him, that is, my son.
13 Ulle na uwang cinghe kitikanghe kang bara fewe awa buni, meg ulle na ndi nanya kilari licin Kutellẹ.
I did wish to keep him with me, that, in your stead, he might serve me in my bonds for the gospel;
14 Nan nndin nin nsa nsu imomon sa uyiru ba. Bara katuwa ichinife waso nafo ana tifiku sua uyin nafew
but, without your consent, I was not willing to do any thing, that your good deed might not be as a matter of necessity, but one of free-will.
Perhaps, indeed, lie departed for a short time for this reason, that you might receive him forever; (aiōnios g166)
16 Na adu kuchin ba akalin kuchi, nafo gwana kinnayi nighere badi nin nanin nanere abadikitife nanya kidoawo nin nanya Nchikilari.
no longer as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, especially by me, and how much more by you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
17 Assa uyirai nafo udon katawer, serreghe nafo meng,
If, then, you regard me as a partner, receive him as myself.
18 Assa anitifi umon utanu nmomon ana lifi ure pizira usere kining
But if he has done you any wrong, or owes you any thing, put that to my account.
19 Meng, Bulu, nnyertine nin na chara nin; nba kuturnufik, men bellinfi ndi dortufi ure nlaifeba.
I, Paul, do write it with my own hand, I will repay it; that I may not say to you, that you owe to me even yourself besides.
20 Eh, gwana, nase liburi liboo nanya Ciliari nse unanku kibinai nanya Kristi,
Yes, brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: refresh my heart in the Lord.
21 Uyinnu nin nnonku litifer udortu lirufe ntah unere nndin nyiru ubasu gbardang ukata nimon ubellu nighe.
Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.
22 Assault uso naninkelei kuti namara, bara ndi ncisu kibinai nanyan nliran ima yinnu ndak kitife.
At the same time, also, prepare me a lodging: for I hope that through the prayers of you all, I may be given to you.
23 Apafras udon licin nanya Kristi Yesu din lisuu fi
Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, salutes you:
24 Nanere wang Marku, Aristaku, Demas Luka, adon katwa ning.
so also do Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow-laborers.
25 Na ubollu Nchikilari bite Yesu Kristi so nin infip mine uso nani.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits. Amen.
