Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
ᎠᏴ, ᏉᎳ, ᏥᏴᎩ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎩᏍᏛᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᎹᏗ ᎢᎩᏅᏟ, ᏫᏍᏛᏲᏪᎳᏏ ᏆᎵᎹᏂ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᏍᏛᎨᏳᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏠᏱ ᏗᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ,
2 to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
ᎠᎴ ᎢᏍᏛᎨᏳᎢ ᎠᏈᏯ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎩᏆ, ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᎢᏗᏩᏫᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗᎤᎾᏓᏈᎬ ᎯᏁᎸᎢ;
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
ᏥᏯᎵᎡᎵᏤᎰ ᎠᏆᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎬᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎪ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎦᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ,
5 hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
ᎦᏛᎩᏍᎬ ᏣᏓᎨᏳᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏦᎯᏳᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᎨᏳᎭ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏥᏌ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏂᎥ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ ᏥᏕᎯᎨᏳᎭ;
6 that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.
ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᏤᎳᏗᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏱᏂᎬᏂᏒ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏱᏂᎦᎵᏍᏓ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏥᏯᎥᎢ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬᎢ.
7 For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
ᎤᏣᏘᏰᏃ ᎤᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗ ᎣᎨᎭ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗ ᎠᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏣᏓᎨᏳᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᏛᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ ᏧᏂᎾᏫ ᏕᎯᎦᎵᏍᏓᏕᎲᎢ, ᎥᎩᏅᏟ.
8 Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎠᎩᎭ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎩᏁᎸᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏁᏤᎲ ᏥᏚᏳᎪᏗ ᎢᏣᏛᏁᏗᏱ;
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.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᏍᎩᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᎨᏒ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎤᏟ ᏥᏰᎸᏍᎦ ᎬᏍᏗᏰᏙᏗᏱ, ᏉᎳ ᎤᏛᏐᏅᎯ ᎢᏯᏆᏍᏗ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎪᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏴᎩ, ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎩᏍᏛᏗᏍᎬᎢ.
10 I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains,
ᎬᏍᏗᏰᏗᎭ ᎠᏇᏥ ᎣᏂᏏᎹ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎥᏆᎸᎢᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏆᏕᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ.
11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏩᎫᏔᏅᏒ ᏂᏣᏍᏕᎵᏍᎬᎾ ᏥᎨᏒᎩ, ᎪᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᏥᎩ ᏣᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏴ ᎠᎩᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ;
12 I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏔᎵᏁ ᎥᏥᏅᎵ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏂᎯ ᏕᎯᏯᏓᏂᎸᏨᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏋᏒ ᎠᎩᎾᏫ ᏥᎩ.
13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏆᏚᎵᏍᎬᎩ ᏥᏯᎧᎯᏯᏍᏗᏱ ᎠᏂ ᎨᏙᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎯ ᏍᎩᏍᏕᎸᎯᏓᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎩᏍᏕᎸᎯᏓᏍᏗᏱ ᎥᏆᎸᎢᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎠᎩᏍᏛᏗᏍᎬᎢ;
14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᏂᎯ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏂᏣᏰᎸᏅᎾ ᎥᏝ ᏯᏆᏚᎸᎮ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎠᏆᏛᏁᏗᏱ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᏂᏍᏆᏛᏁᎲ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏣᏰᎸᏅ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᎥᏝᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎ ᎢᏣᏛᏁᏗᏱ ᏂᏣᎵᏍᏓᏁᎲᎢ.
15 For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever, (aiōnios g166)
ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏱᎩ ᏞᎦ ᏳᏓᏅᏒ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏘᏯᏓᏂᎸᎢᏍᏗ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎤᏕᏗᏱ. (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.
ᎥᏝ ᎿᎭᏉ ᎠᏥᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ, ᎤᏟᏍᎩᏂ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᎠᏥᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ, ᎣᏅᏟ ᎠᎨᏳᎯ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ, ᎠᏴ Ꮀ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎭ ᏥᎨᏳᎢ, ᏂᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎤᏟᎯᏳ ᎯᎨᏳᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏕᏍᏓᏁᎶᏛᎢ?
17 If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎢᏳᏃ ᎣᎩᎾᏖᏉᎶᎯ ᏍᏇᎵᏎᎮᏍᏗ, ᏕᎯᏯᏓᏂᎸᏨᎭ ᎠᏴ ᏥᏕᏍᏆᏓᏂᎸᎪ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.
18 But if he has wronged you at all or owes you anything, put that to my account.
ᎢᏳᏃ ᎤᏣᏘᏂ ᏂᏣᏛᏁᎴᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎯᏚᎨᏍᏕ, ᎠᏴᏉ ᎠᏆᎫᏴᏗ ᏅᏁᎸᎭ;
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).
ᎠᏴ ᏉᎳ ᎠᏋᏒ ᎠᏉᏰᏃ ᎬᏓ ᎪᏪᎸᎦ, ᎠᏴ ᏓᎦᎫᏴᎯ; ᎥᏝᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᏨᏒ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎬᏚᎦ ᏗᏍᏆᏓᏲᎯᏎᏗᏱ ᏱᎬᏲᏎᎭ.
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
ᎥᎥ, ᏗᎾᏓᏅᏟ, ᎤᎵᎮᏍᏗ ᏍᏆᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏓ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ; ᎯᎦᎵᏍᏓᏓᏉ ᎠᎩᎾᏫ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏕᎾᏁᎶᏛᎢ.
21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
ᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᎠᏆᎵᏍᎦᏍᏙᏛ ᏫᎬᏲᏪᎳᏁᎸᎩ, ᏥᎦᏔᎲᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏣᎶᏒᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎨᏒ ᎿᎭᏛᏁᎲ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎬᏁᏤᎲᎢ.
22 Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏍᏆᏛᏅᎢᏍᏓᏁᎸᎭ ᏍᎩᏍᏆᏂᎪᏙᏗᏱ; ᎤᏚᎩᏰᏃ ᎠᏋᎭ ᎢᏣᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏐᏗᏱ ᏔᎵᏁ ᏫᏨᎷᏤᏗᏱ.
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
ᏫᎨᏣᏲᎵᎦ ᎡᎦᏉ, ᏗᏧᎳᎭ ᎣᏍᏗᏴᎩ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏥᏌ ᎣᎩᏂᏍᏛᏗᏍᎬᎢ;
24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
ᎹᎦ, ᎡᎵᏍᏓᎦ, ᏗᎹ, ᎷᎦ, ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᏦᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
