1 Bulus kucin Nkristi Yesu, nin Timothy gwana bite ucindu kitin Philimo, gwana nsubit nin adon katawe,
Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, and our brother Timotheus, vnto Philemon our deare friende, and fellowe helper,
2 Cindukiti ngwana bit kishono bit Abiffia nin du Akiribu kusoja wang nanya katuwa ucindu kitin nlirangafe:
And to our deare sister Apphia, and to Archippus our fellowe souldier, and to the Church that is in thine house:
3 Impip Kutellẹ na uyenu nin lisosin limang me nusu kitin inchif bite nin Chikilari Yesu Kristi so nanya mine.
Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
4 In su Kutellẹ nin nnjah nngai ko nin shi Kutellẹ
I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers,
5 Nndin lanzinu ninghinu nya mine sanlira, ligan na idumung nanya Cikilari Yesu nin yinnu mine sauyenu udu kiti nanit alumai
(When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes)
6 Nndin nlira ussu katuwa mine nnyan nyinu sa uyenuyits nin likara ulle na udi nanya bite nin Kristi
That the fellowship of thy faith may bee made effectuall, and that whatsoeuer good thing is in you through Christ Iesus, may be knowen.
7 Bara nnamaluse mang kan, nin nrisu kibinai nanyannsufe, bara nibinai nanit alau nati mang bara fegwana.
For we haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because by thee, brother, the Saintes bowels are comforted.
8 Bara nani, vat nanin andina likara kibinai nanya Kristi mtifi usu imon illena ubasu
Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient,
9 Vat nani bara usuu nndin suffi usere ukwilizufe meng ulle nwandi. Bulus ndi nawa kilari licin bara Kristi Yesu
Yet for loues sake I rather beseeche thee, though I be as I am, euen Paul aged, and euen nowe a prisoner for Iesus Christ.
10 Ndifi kucikusu nbekken usau nighe Onisimus ullena ndi ucifme uworu licin nighe.
I beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes,
11 Barna awa man difi he, ne ne adi imong icine kitife nin mi.
Which in times past was to thee vnprofitable, but nowe profitable both to thee and to me,
12 Ntoghe ame litime ulle na ukwiliz kitife adi kibinai nighe.
Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels,
13 Ulle na uwang cinghe kitikanghe kang bara fewe awa buni, meg ulle na ndi nanya kilari licin Kutellẹ.
Whom I woulde haue reteined with mee, that in thy steade he might haue ministred vnto me in the bondes of the Gospel.
14 Nan nndin nin nsa nsu imomon sa uyiru ba. Bara katuwa ichinife waso nafo ana tifiku sua uyin nafew
But without thy minde woulde I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly.
It may be that he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer, (aiōnios g166)
16 Na adu kuchin ba akalin kuchi, nafo gwana kinnayi nighere badi nin nanin nanere abadikitife nanya kidoawo nin nanya Nchikilari.
Not now as a seruant, but aboue a seruant, euen as a brother beloued, specially to me: howe much more then vnto thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord?
17 Assa uyirai nafo udon katawer, serreghe nafo meng,
If therefore thou count our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe.
18 Assa anitifi umon utanu nmomon ana lifi ure pizira usere kining
If he hath hurt thee, or oweth thee ought, that put on mine accounts.
19 Meng, Bulu, nnyertine nin na chara nin; nba kuturnufik, men bellinfi ndi dortufi ure nlaifeba.
I Paul haue written this with mine owne hande: I will recompense it, albeit I doe not say to thee, that thou owest moreouer vnto me euen thine owne selfe.
20 Eh, gwana, nase liburi liboo nanya Ciliari nse unanku kibinai nanya Kristi,
Yea, brother, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort my bowels in the Lord.
21 Uyinnu nin nnonku litifer udortu lirufe ntah unere nndin nyiru ubasu gbardang ukata nimon ubellu nighe.
Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then I say.
22 Assault uso naninkelei kuti namara, bara ndi ncisu kibinai nanyan nliran ima yinnu ndak kitife.
Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto you.
23 Apafras udon licin nanya Kristi Yesu din lisuu fi
There salute thee Epaphras my felowe prisoner in Christ Iesus,
24 Nanere wang Marku, Aristaku, Demas Luka, adon katwa ning.
Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my felowe helpers.
25 Na ubollu Nchikilari bite Yesu Kristi so nin infip mine uso nani.
The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. ‘Written from Rome to Philemon, and send by Onesimus a seruant.’
