Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
Une che Paolo jundaŵikwe kwa ligongo lya kwatumichila Che Yesu Kilisito. Une pamo ni che Timoseo nlongo njetu, tukunnembela alakwe che Filimoni jwakunonyelwa jwetu, ni junkupanganya masengo pamo nowe,
2 to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
ni kwa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wose waukusongangana mu nyuumba jenu, ni kwa alumbu ŵetu che Afia ni kwa che Alikipo jwangondo njetu.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Tukunsachilanga umbone ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu, ni Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
4 I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
Nlongo njangu che Filimoni, katema kose pangupopela, ngunkumbuchila mmwe, ni kwatogolela Akunnungu ŵangu,
5 hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
pakuŵa ngupilikana inkuti pakwakulupilila Ambuje Che Yesu ni inkuti pakwanonyela ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu.
6 that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.
Ngumpopelela kwa Akunnungu kuti mme ni machili ga kwasalila ŵandu ŵane chikulupi chenu, kuti akombole kumanyilila indu yambone itukwete uwe ŵatulumbikene ni Kilisito.
7 For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
Nlongo njangu, unonyelo wenu usengwasisye kwannope ni kulimbisya ntima. Pakuŵa njisengwasisye mitima ja ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu.
8 Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
Kwa ligongo lyo, naŵaga nlongo njenu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, ngakombwele kunnajisya pangali lipamba mpanganye chinkusachilwa kuchipanganya,
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.
nambo kwa ligongo lya unonyelo, mmbaya nammende. Ngutenda yeleyi namuno uneji che Paolo jundi jwanchekulwipe, ni sambano ndaŵikwe kwa liwamba lya Che Yesu Kilisito.
10 I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains,
Kwayele ngunchondelela munkamuchisye che Onesimo jwali mwanangu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito. Pakuŵa ndili atatigwe chimbumu kutyochela patwaliji pamo mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵandu.
11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
Jwelejo kalakala nganakola masengo kukwenu, nambo sambano akwete masengo kukwenu ni kukwangu.
12 I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
Sambano ngummusya kukwenu, namuno ngwanonyela kwannope.
13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
Ngasachile atame none papapa kuti angamuchisye pamalo penu pandili jwantawe ligongo naliji nkulalichila Ngani Jambone.
14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
Ngangusaka kunkanganichisya mungamuchisye, nambo ngusaka mpanganye inkuti pakusaka mwasyene. Kwayele ngangupanganya chachilichose mpaka pachinsache.
15 For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever, (aiōnios g166)
Panepa lyeleli lili ligongo, che Onesimo ŵalekangene ni mmwe kwa katema, kuti auje sooni kukwenu ni kutama ni jwelejo moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (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.
Sambano jwelejo nganaŵa kapolo sooni nambo jwambone kumpunda kapolo, sambano jwelejo ali nlongo nkulumbikana ni Kilisito. Jwelejo ali jwambone nnope kwangune, nombe kukwenu chaŵe ŵambone mwakupunda, pakuŵa jwelejo ali njetu ni nlongo njenu kwa chiilu ni nkulumbikana ni Ambuje.
17 If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
Nipele, iŵaga nkuumona ndili jwamasengo njenu, mumpochele che Onesmo mpela inkatite pakuumbochela une nansyene.
18 But if he has wronged you at all or owes you anything, put that to my account.
Iŵaga anneŵele chachili chose, pane akwete ligambo, chinanlipe.
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).
Une che Paolo ngulemba kwa nkono wangu nansyene kuti chilipe. Ngangusachilwa kunkumbusya kuti nkwete magambo kukwangu lyalili umi wenu.
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
Kwayele, nlongo njangu, ngunchondelela mungamuchisye kwa litala li kwa liwamba lya Ambuje, sambano nti nlongo njangu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, muunonyelesye ntima wangu.
21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
Ngunnembela njimanyililaga kuti chimumbilikanile, sooni ngumanyilila isyene kuti chimumpanganyichisye yakupunda ni ingusala yi.
22 Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
Pamo ni yose yi, mumichile chile chuumba chakugona, pakuŵa ngulolela kuti Akunnungu chajanje mapopelo genu ni une chinechelelwe ni chinanjimajimile.
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
Che Epafula jwantawe pamo ni une kwa ligongo lya kwatumichila Kilisito Yesu akunkomasya.
24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
Iyoyo che Maliko ni che Alisitako ni che Dema ni che Luka ŵakutumichila achinjangu akunkomasya.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Umbone wa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito uŵe pamo ni ŵanyamwe wose.
