فِلِيْمُون 1

١ 1 بُولُسُ، أَسِيرُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ ٱلْأَخُ، إِلَى فِلِيمُونَ ٱلْمَحْبُوبِ وَٱلْعَامِلِ مَعَنَا،

Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ, and brother Timothy, to Philemon the beloved also our fellow-laborer,

٢ 2 وَإِلَى أَبْفِيَّةَ ٱلْمَحْبُوبَةِ، وَأَرْخِبُّسَ ٱلْمُتَجَنِّدِ مَعَنَا، وَإِلَى ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَيْتِكَ:

and to sister Apphia, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and the church in your house.

٣ 3 نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

٤ 4 أَشْكُرُ إِلَهِي كُلَّ حِينٍ ذَاكِرًا إِيَّاكَ فِي صَلَوَاتِي،

I give thanks to my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,

٥ 5 سَامِعًا بِمَحَبَّتِكَ، وَٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلَّذِي لَكَ نَحْوَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، وَلِجَمِيعِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ،

hearing about your divine love, and the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and all the saints;

٦ 6 لِكَيْ تَكُونَ شَرِكَةُ إِيمَانِكَ فَعَّالَةً فِي مَعْرِفَةِ كُلِّ ٱلصَّلَاحِ ٱلَّذِي فِيكُمْ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

in order that the fellowship of your faith may be efficient in the perfect knowledge of every good thing which is in you toward Christ.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّ لَنَا فَرَحًا كَثِيرًا وَتَعْزِيَةً بِسَبَبِ مَحَبَّتِكَ، لِأَنَّ أَحْشَاءَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ قَدِ ٱسْتَرَاحَتْ بِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَخُ.

For I had much joy and consolation over your divine love, because the affections of the saints have been refreshed by you, O brother.

٨ 8 لِذَلِكَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لِي بِٱلْمَسِيحِ ثِقَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ أَنْ آمُرَكَ بِمَا يَلِيقُ،

Therefore, having much boldness in Christ to command you to that which is appropriate,

٩ 9 مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ، أَطْلُبُ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ- إِذْ أَنَا إِنْسَانٌ هَكَذَا نَظِيرُ بُولُسَ ٱلشَّيْخِ، وَٱلْآنَ أَسِيرُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ أَيْضًا -

on account of the divine love, I the more exhort you, being such as Paul the aged, and now also the prisoner of Jesus Christ.

١٠ 10 أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ لِأَجْلِ ٱبْنِي أُنِسِيمُسَ، ٱلَّذِي وَلَدْتُهُ فِي قُيُودِي،

I exhort you concerning my son, whom I begat in my bonds, Onesimus,

١١ 11 ٱلَّذِي كَانَ قَبْلًا غَيْرَ نَافِعٍ لَكَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ نَافِعٌ لَكَ وَلِي،

him at one time unprofitable to you, but now profitable both to you and to me: whom I have sent back to you,

١٢ 12 ٱلَّذِي رَدَدْتُهُ. فَٱقْبَلْهُ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَحْشَائِي.

him, that is my own heart.

١٣ 13 ٱلَّذِي كُنْتُ أَشَاءُ أَنْ أُمْسِكَهُ عِنْدِي لِكَيْ يَخْدِمَنِي عِوَضًا عَنْكَ فِي قُيُودِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ،

Whom I did wish to have with me, in order that he might minister unto me in your stead in the bonds of the gospel:

١٤ 14 وَلَكِنْ بِدُونِ رَأْيِكَ لَمْ أُرِدْ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ شَيْئًا، لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ خَيْرُكَ كَأَنَّهُ عَلَى سَبِيلِ ٱلِٱضْطِرَارِ بَلْ عَلَى سَبِيلِ ٱلِٱخْتِيَارِ.

but without your consent I did not wish to do anything; in order that your good might not be by constraint, but by the free will:

١٥ 15 لِأَنَّهُ رُبَّمَا لِأَجْلِ هَذَا ٱفْتَرَقَ عَنْكَ إِلَى سَاعَةٍ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، (aiōnios g166)

for on this account he suddenly departed from you for an hour, that you might have him back forever; (aiōnios g166)

١٦ 16 لَا كَعَبْدٍ فِي مَا بَعْدُ، بَلْ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ: أَخًا مَحْبُوبًا، وَلَا سِيَّمَا إِلَيَّ، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ إِلَيْكَ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ وَٱلرَّبِّ جَمِيعًا!

no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a brother beloved, especially to me, and much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord:

١٧ 17 فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَحْسِبُنِي شَرِيكًا، فَٱقْبَلْهُ نَظِيرِي.

if then you have me a comrade, receive him as myself.

١٨ 18 ثُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِشَيْءٍ، أَوْ لَكَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، فَٱحْسِبْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ.

If he has wronged you as to anything, or owes you anything, charge this to me.

١٩ 19 أَنَا بُولُسَ كَتَبْتُ بِيَدِي: أَنَا أُوفِي. حَتَّى لَا أَقُولُ لَكَ إِنَّكَ مَدْيُونٌ لِي بِنَفْسِكَ أَيْضًا.

I Paul have written with my own hand, I will pay it: not that I may say to you that you even owe yourself to me.

٢٠ 20 نَعَمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَخُ، لِيَكُنْ لِي فَرَحٌ بِكَ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ. أَرِحْ أَحْشَائِي فِي ٱلرَّبِّ.

Yea, brother, let me rejoice over you in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ.

٢١ 21 إِذْ أَنَا وَاثِقٌ بِإِطَاعَتِكَ، كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ، عَالِمًا أَنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ أَيْضًا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَقُولُ.

Having confidence in your obedience I have written to you, knowing that you will do even more than those things which I say.

٢٢ 22 وَمَعَ هَذَا، أَعْدِدْ لِي أَيْضًا مَنْزِلًا، لِأَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنَّنِي بِصَلَوَاتِكُمْ سَأُوهَبُ لَكُمْ.

And at the same time also prepare for me a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I will be consigned unto you.

٢٣ 23 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ أَبَفْرَاسُ ٱلْمَأْسُورُ مَعِي فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ،

Epaphras, my fellow-soldier in Christ Jesus;

٢٤ 24 وَمَرْقُسُ وَأَرِسْتَرْخُسُ وَدِيمَاسُ وَلُوقَا ٱلْعَامِلُونَ مَعِي.

Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers, salute you.

٢٥ 25 نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مَعَ رُوحِكُمْ. آمِينَ.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
