Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
Bulus, ɗan kurkuku saboda Kiristi Yesu, da kuma Timoti ɗan’uwanmu, Zuwa ga Filemon ƙaunataccen abokinmu da kuma abokin aikinmu,
2 to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
zuwa kuma ga Affiya’yar’uwarmu, zuwa kuma ga Arkiffus abokin famarmu, da zuwa kuma ga ikkilisiyar da take taruwa a gidanka.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Alheri da salama daga Allah Ubanmu da kuma Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi, su kasance tare da ku.
4 I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
Kullum nakan gode wa Allahna sa’ad da nake tuna da kai cikin addu’o’ina,
5 hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
domin ina jin labari bangaskiyarka cikin Ubangiji Yesu da kuma ƙaunarka da kake yi saboda dukan tsarkaka.
6 that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.
Ina addu’a ka zama mai ƙwazo cikin shaida bangaskiyarka, domin ka sami cikakken fahimta ta kowane abin da yake nagarin da muke da shi cikin Kiristi.
7 For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
Ƙaunarka ta sa ni farin ciki ƙwarai ta kuma ƙarfafa ni, domin kai, ɗan’uwa, ka wartsake zukatan tsarkaka.
8 Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
Saboda haka, ko da yake cikin Kiristi ina iya yin ƙarfin hali in umarce ka ka yi abin da ya kamata,
9 yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
duk da haka ina roƙonka saboda ƙauna, na fi so in roƙe ka, ni Bulus tsoho, a yanzu kuma ga ni ɗan sarƙa saboda Kiristi Yesu.
10 I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains,
Ina roƙonka saboda ɗana Onesimus, wanda ya zama ɗana yayinda nake cikin sarƙoƙi.
11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
Dā kam, ba shi da amfani a gare ka, amma yanzu ya zama da amfani a gare ka da kuma gare ni.
12 I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
Ina aike shi yă koma gare ka, shi da yake zuciyata.
13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
Na so in riƙe shi a wurina a madadinka domin yă taimake ni yayinda nake cikin sarƙoƙi saboda bishara.
14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
Sai dai ban so in yi kome ban da yardarka ba, domin kowane alherin da za ka yi, yă fito daga zuciyarka, ba na tilas ba.
15 For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever, (aiōnios g166)
Wataƙila abin da ya sa aka raba ka da shi na ɗan lokaci ƙanƙani shi ne don ka same shi da amfani (aiōnios g166)
16 no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
ba kamar bawa kuma ba, sai dai fiye da bawa, a matsayin ƙaunataccen ɗan’uwa. Shi ƙaunatacce ne sosai a gare ni amma a gare ka ya ma fi zama ƙaunatacce, kamar mutum da kuma kamar ɗan’uwa a cikin Ubangiji.
17 If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
Saboda haka in ka ɗauke ni a kan ni abokin tarayya ne, sai ka marabce shi kamar yadda za ka marabce ni.
18 But if he has wronged you at all or owes you anything, put that to my account.
In ya yi maka wani laifi ko kuma yana riƙe maka wani bashi, sai ka mai da shi a kaina.
19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).
Ni, Bulus, nake rubuta wannan da hannuna. Zan biya ka, kada ma a yi zancen ranka da kake riƙe mini bashi.
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
Ina fata, ɗan’uwa, zan sami amfani daga gare ka cikin Ubangiji; ka wartsake zuciyata cikin Kiristi.
21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
Da tabbacin biyayyarka, ina rubuta maka, da sanin za ka yi fiye da abin da na ce.
22 Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
Abu guda ya rage, ka shirya mini masauƙi, domin ina bege za a mayar da ni gare ku albarkacin addu’o’inku.
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
Efafaras, abokin tarayyata a kurkuku cikin Kiristi Yesu, yana gaishe ka.
24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
Haka kuma Markus, Aristarkus, Demas da kuma Luka, abokan aikina.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Alherin Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi yă kasance da ruhunku.
