Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
Jisu Kristo thoilam di phaatak ni tongte Pool nyia seng phono Timothi taangnawa— Seng joonte seng damdi roong mootkaatte Philemoon suh,
2 to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
nyia an nok ni chomuiti chaaste loong suh nep, adoleh seng loong no Apphia nyia sipaahi Arkippus loong suh raanghang:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo ih minchan toom kohan nyia semroongroong toom songtong thuk han.
4 I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
Nga no Philemoon, Rangte suh lakookmi li angno, an raangtaan ih saapoot rookwet rangsoom hang
5 hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
Rangte mina loong raangtaan ih an minchan eje nyia Jisu su tuumaang lu ah ngah ih japchaat ehang.
6 that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.
Nga rangsoom ah langla seng hanpiite loong ih sen damdi rangchosoom hi thoidoh Kristo jun ih romseetam tiit ah ehanhan toom ih jat ih.
7 For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
Nga no, an minchan tiit asuh ngah rapne roonlang nyia chaan koh halang! Rangte mina loong ten rapne ih roonthuk lu.
8 Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
Erah raangtaan ih, Kristo phoh ano jun ih, tiimjih reejih ah erah lacho laphaan ih jen baattaan etheng taha.
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.
Enoothong an nga moongnook ang thoidi, an lasih ba johala. Ngah Pool laang ang ang bah uh, nyia Kristo mendi laang mokah ang bah uh adoleh amadi heh thoilam di phaatak ni laangtong ang bah uh, an nga moongnook ang thoidi reelang.
10 I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains,
Erah raangtaan Onesimas mendi an lasih johala, heh amadi Kristo mendi nga sah miimi eh hoonla; tiimnge liidi ngah phaatak ni tong angdi chiilam laalam ni heh wah eh hoon lang.
11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
Pootsiit an raangtaan ih heh tiim uh tah angta, enoothong amadi heh sek raangtaan ih ejamjih eh hoonla.
12 I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
Amadi heh an reeni ngaakwang thuk halang, ngaathung ngaatak uh heh damdi.
13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
Ngah Ruurang Ese tungthoidi phaatak ni tonglang pootdoh, an ih chosok lakbi toom chosok hang ngeh ih nga reenah tongthuk thengtang.
14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
Ang abah uh, an ih ngah chosok jaatjaat etheng ngeh ih tali kang; heh thung ih toom re ah ngeh ih li hala. Erah raangtaan ih an thung lah angko bah ngah tiim uh tami reekang.
15 For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever, (aiōnios g166)
Onismas ah pootsiit an reenawa haloh ih hoonta ah langla an reenah saarep raangtaan toom ngaak tongha ngeh ih heh ang thamta. (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.
Eno amadi heh dah luulu tah angka, dah nang eju elong eh hoonla: Heh Kristo phoh ano eh hoonla. Nga raangtaan ih heh nga mongnook! Adoleh an raangtaan ih erah nang ih ju eseethoon ang ah, heh dah luulu lah angthang ih Teesu mendi phoh ano eh hoonla.
17 If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
Erah raangtaan ih, anjoon anwaan ngeh ih thun hang bah, ngah ban noppoon hang ah liikhiik heh uh ban noppoon ih uh.
18 But if he has wronged you at all or owes you anything, put that to my account.
Heh an raangtaan ih thetreeta bah nyia tiimkot jilam angta bah uh, ngah ih ngaak kottheng ngeh ih raangthiin uh.
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).
Arah, nga teewah lak ih raangmaat halang: Ngah Pool, ngah ih ma ngaak koha. ( An nga raangtaan ih, an suh lah dopbaatjih angta.)
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
Nga no, erah raangtaan ih, Teesu mendoh nga jeng ah boichaat ih weeuh, Kristo phoh ano mendoh ngah eroon ih weethuk hang!
21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
Arah le ah raangmaat hangno, ngah sen suh re erum ah ngeh ih kamkam ih laalom lang—ngah ih jat ih hang erah nang ih botseh ehan reeraang pakna an.
22 Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
Erah damdoh, nga tong suh rumsiit than ban khookham thiin an, tiimnge liidi Rangte ih sen loong rangsoom ah chaat eha ngeh ih laalom lang eno sen reenah engaak ih thuk hang.
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
Jisu Kristo raangtaan ih, nga damdi phaatak ni roongtongte, Epaphras ih sen suh jengseera halan,
24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
erah damdi nga damdi roong mootkaatte Maak, Aritarkus, Demas nyia Luk loong ih nep jengseera halan.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Teesu Jisu Kristo minchan sen loongtang damdoh toom je ah.
