< Failimone 1 >

1 Na, Bolo, na da Yesu Gelesu Ea hawa: hamobeba: le se iasu diasu ganodini sali amola ninia fi dunu Dimodi, ania da amo meloa di Failimone ania na: iyado amola fidisu dunu, dima dedesa.
To my beloved friend and coworker Philemon,
2 Amola Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi dunu ilia dia diasuga gilisisa, amola Yesu Ea fi uda ea dio amo A: fia amola ania gegesu fidisu dunu Agibase, ilima ania dedesa.
to my sister Apphia, to my fellow soldier Archippus, and to the church which meets at Philemon’s house. From Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and brother Timothy.
3 Ninia Ada Gode amola Hina Yesu Gelesu dilima hahawane dogolegele iasu amola olofosu ima: ne, ania dawa: lala.
Grace and peace be to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Na fi dunu Failimone! Na da dia Gode Ea fi dunu huluane ilima asigidafa hou amola dia Hina Gode Yesuma bagadewane dafawaneyale dawa: su hou, amo na da nababeba: le, na da na sia: ne gadosu huluane amo ganodini dia dio sia: ne, dia houba: le Godema nodone sia: ne gadosa.
I am ever mentioning you in my prayers, and giving thanks to God,
5
because I am hearing of your love and of the faith which you hold, not only toward the Lord Jesus Christ, but toward all the saints.
6 Ninia amola di, da Yesu Ea hou lalegaguiba: le, madelagi dagoi. Amo Yesuma madelagiba: le esalusu hou ninia gilisili bu baligiliwane dawa: ma: ne, na da Godema sia: ne gadolala.
And I pray that your participation may become effectual, as you come to acknowledge every good thing which is in you to Christ.
7 Na fi dunu! Di da nama asigiba: le, na da hahawane gala amola na dogo da denesi. Di da Gode Ea fi dunu huluane ilia dogo hahawane denesi dagoi.
For I have great joy and comfort in your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed.
8 Amaiba: le, na da mae beda: iwane, dima Yesu Gelesu ganodini ola hamoiba: le, dima hamoma: ne sia: sa.
And so, although I might be bold in Christ to dictate to you what is fitting,
9 Be na da dima asigiba: le, na da hamoma: ne mae sia: ne, dima asigiwane adole ba: mu fawane. Na da Bolo, Yesu Gelesu Ea adole iasu dunu, wali Ea hawa: hamobeba: le, se iasu diasu ganodini sali. Be na da gasawane hamoma: ne mae sia: ne, asigiwane dima adole ba: sa.
yet for love’s sake, I rather beseech you, I, Paul, an old man, and now a prisoner for Christ Jesus!
10 Ounisimase da Yesu Gelesu Ea hou lalegaguiba: le, nagofe agoane hamoi. Na da se iasu diasu ganodini esala, ea eda agoane hamoi. Na da dima adole ba: sa. Di Ounisimase fidimu da defeala: ?
I beseech you for my son, Onesimus, whom I have begotten in these chains.
11 Musa: amo dunu da di hame fidisu. Be wali e da di amola na fidimusa: dawa: lala.
Once you found him "unprofitable," but now he is "profitable" to you and to me.
12 Na da Ounisimase dima bu asunasimu. Na da ema bagadewane asigiba: le, fedege agoane e ahoasea, na dogo da e sigi masunu.
I am sending him back to you, he himself, that is, my very heart!
13 Di da guiguda: hame esalebeba: le, na fidimu da hamedei ba: sa. Na da Gode Ea sia: olelebeba: le, se iasu diasu ganodini esala. Amaiba: le, Ounisimase amo na fidima: ne, na da gagulaligimusa: dawa: lala.
I could wish to retain him at my side, so that he might minister to me in your stead, in my bonds for the gospel.
14 Be na da gasawane dia fidisu hou logemu higa: i gala mabu. Dia hanaiba: le fawane na fidimu da defea. Amaiba: le, dia sia: beba: le fawane na dia fidisu lamu.
But without your consent I was unwilling to do anything, so that your kindness to me might be of your own free will, and not of compulsion.
15 Amabela: ? Ounisimase da fa: no eso huluane dia fidisu dunu esaloma: ne, musa: dia hawa: hamosu yolesili, ga sogega fonobahadi esalumusa: hobea: i. (aiōnios g166)
Perhaps for this reason you were separated from him for an hour, in order that you might have him back forever, (aiōnios g166)
16 Be wali e da dia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu fawane hame, be e da amo hou baligi dagoi. E da wali ninia fi dunu Yesu Gelesu ganodini esala. E da nama bagadewane dogolegei hamoi dagoi. Amaiba: le, e da dia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu amola gilisili dia fi dunu Hina Gode Ea fi ganodini hamoiba: le, e da dima baligiliwane dogolegele hamomu.
no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, as a brother beloved; especially dear to me, but how much more to you, both as a man and a fellow Christian.
17 Amaiba: le, di amola na, ania da gilisili na: iyadowane Yesu Gelesu Ea hawa: hamosa, amo di dawa: galea, e bu masea, di da nama yosia: mu defele, ema hahawane yosia: ma.
If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me.
18 E da dima wadela: le hamoi galea o dima dabe imunu galea, defea, nisu da dima amo dabe ima: ne di nama sia: ma.
And if he has wronged you at all, or is owing you anything, charge that to me.
19 Na da nisu na loboga dedemu amane, “Na, Bolo, na da dima amo dabe imunu.” (Be na da di Yesuma oule asiba: le, dia da nama dabe imunu agoai galebe.)
I Paul am writing this in my own handwriting, "I will repay you." But I will not mention that you owe me, over and over, your very soul.
20 Amaiba: le, na fi dunu! Hina Gode Ea hou dawa: beba: le, dia amo fidisu hou nama hamoma. Di da na fi dunu Yesu Gelesu ganodini. Amaiba: le na dogo denesima.
Come my brother, let me have joy in the Lord because of you! Refresh my heart in Christ!
21 Na da amo meloa dedene iabeba: le, amo na adole ba: i liligi di da hamomu na dawa: Hame! Di da na adole ba: i baligili, eno bagadewane hamomu amo na dawa:
Because I am thoroughly persuaded of your obedience, I have written you, knowing full well that you will do by me what I am asking.
22 Amola, amo adole ba: su amoma na da eno adole ba: su gilisimusa: dawa: sa. Dia na golama: ne sesei hahamoma. Na hanai da Gode da dilia huluane sia: ne gadobeba: le, dilima dili hanai liligi imunu, amola E da na dilima bu asunasimu.
Please also prepare for me a lodging, for I am hoping by your prayers to be restored to you again.
23 Eba: fala: se amo da na gilisili Yesu Gelesu Ea hawa: hamobeba: le, se iasu diasu ganodini sali, amo da dilima asigi sia: adosisa.
Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greeting;
24 Nama gilisili hawa: hamosu dunu amo Maga, Alisidagase, Dimase amola Luge, ilia da dilima asigi sia: adosisa.
so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
25 Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu amo ea hahawane dogolegele iasu dilima dialoma: ne, na Godema sia: ne gadosa. Sia: Ama Dagoi
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
