< Philemon 1 >
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon our beloved and co-workman,
ᎠᏴ, ᏉᎳ, ᏥᏴᎩ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎩᏍᏛᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᎹᏗ ᎢᎩᏅᏟ, ᏫᏍᏛᏲᏪᎳᏏ ᏆᎵᎹᏂ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᏍᏛᎨᏳᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏠᏱ ᏗᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ,
2 and to the beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the congregation at thy 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, making recollection of thee always in my prayers,
ᏥᏯᎵᎡᎵᏤᎰ ᎠᏆᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎬᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎪ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎦᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ,
5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the sanctified,
ᎦᏛᎩᏍᎬ ᏣᏓᎨᏳᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏦᎯᏳᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᎨᏳᎭ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏥᏌ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏂᎥ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ ᏥᏕᎯᎨᏳᎭ;
6 so that the fellowship of thy faith may become potent (in the knowledge of every good thing in us) for Christ Jesus.
ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᏤᎳᏗᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏱᏂᎬᏂᏒ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏱᏂᎦᎵᏍᏓ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏥᏯᎥᎢ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬᎢ.
7 For we have much joy and encouragement in thy love, because the bowels of the sanctified have been refreshed by thee, brother.
ᎤᏣᏘᏰᏃ ᎤᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗ ᎣᎨᎭ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗ ᎠᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏣᏓᎨᏳᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᏛᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ ᏧᏂᎾᏫ ᏕᎯᎦᎵᏍᏓᏕᎲᎢ, ᎥᎩᏅᏟ.
8 Therefore, though I have much boldness in Christ to command thee that which is befitting,
ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎠᎩᎭ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎩᏁᎸᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏁᏤᎲ ᏥᏚᏳᎪᏗ ᎢᏣᏛᏁᏗᏱ;
9 because of love I rather beseech, being such as aged Paul, and now 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 beseech thee for my child Onesimus, whom I begot in my bonds.
ᎬᏍᏗᏰᏗᎭ ᎠᏇᏥ ᎣᏂᏏᎹ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎥᏆᎸᎢᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏆᏕᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ.
11 A man formerly unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me, whom I sent back.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏩᎫᏔᏅᏒ ᏂᏣᏍᏕᎵᏍᎬᎾ ᏥᎨᏒᎩ, ᎪᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᏥᎩ ᏣᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏴ ᎠᎩᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ;
12 And thou should welcome him, that is, my bowels.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏔᎵᏁ ᎥᏥᏅᎵ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏂᎯ ᏕᎯᏯᏓᏂᎸᏨᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏋᏒ ᎠᎩᎾᏫ ᏥᎩ.
13 Whom I wanted to keep back for myself, so that in thy behalf he might serve me in the bonds of the good news.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏆᏚᎵᏍᎬᎩ ᏥᏯᎧᎯᏯᏍᏗᏱ ᎠᏂ ᎨᏙᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎯ ᏍᎩᏍᏕᎸᎯᏓᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎩᏍᏕᎸᎯᏓᏍᏗᏱ ᎥᏆᎸᎢᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎠᎩᏍᏛᏗᏍᎬᎢ;
14 But I wanted to do nothing without thy mind, so that thy goodness might not be as from obligation, but from volition.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᏂᎯ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏂᏣᏰᎸᏅᎾ ᎥᏝ ᏯᏆᏚᎸᎮ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎠᏆᏛᏁᏗᏱ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᏂᏍᏆᏛᏁᎲ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏣᏰᎸᏅ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᎥᏝᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎ ᎢᏣᏛᏁᏗᏱ ᏂᏣᎵᏍᏓᏁᎲᎢ.
15 For perhaps because of this he departed for an hour, so that thou might receive him back forever, (aiōnios )
ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏱᎩ ᏞᎦ ᏳᏓᏅᏒ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏘᏯᏓᏂᎸᎢᏍᏗ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎤᏕᏗᏱ. (aiōnios )
16 no longer as a bondman, but above a bondman, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to thee, both in 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 thou have me a partner, accept him as myself.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎢᏳᏃ ᎣᎩᎾᏖᏉᎶᎯ ᏍᏇᎵᏎᎮᏍᏗ, ᏕᎯᏯᏓᏂᎸᏨᎭ ᎠᏴ ᏥᏕᏍᏆᏓᏂᎸᎪ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.
18 But if he has wronged thee, or owes anything, charge this to me.
ᎢᏳᏃ ᎤᏣᏘᏂ ᏂᏣᏛᏁᎴᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎯᏚᎨᏍᏕ, ᎠᏴᏉ ᎠᏆᎫᏴᏗ ᏅᏁᎸᎭ;
19 I Paul write with my hand, I will repay, so that I may not say to thee that thou owe me in return even thyself.
ᎠᏴ ᏉᎳ ᎠᏋᏒ ᎠᏉᏰᏃ ᎬᏓ ᎪᏪᎸᎦ, ᎠᏴ ᏓᎦᎫᏴᎯ; ᎥᏝᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᏨᏒ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎬᏚᎦ ᏗᏍᏆᏓᏲᎯᏎᏗᏱ ᏱᎬᏲᏎᎭ.
20 Yes, brother, let me have a favor of thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.
ᎥᎥ, ᏗᎾᏓᏅᏟ, ᎤᎵᎮᏍᏗ ᏍᏆᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏓ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ; ᎯᎦᎵᏍᏓᏓᏉ ᎠᎩᎾᏫ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏕᎾᏁᎶᏛᎢ.
21 Being confident in thine obedience I wrote to thee, knowing that thou will do above what I say.
ᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᎠᏆᎵᏍᎦᏍᏙᏛ ᏫᎬᏲᏪᎳᏁᎸᎩ, ᏥᎦᏔᎲᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏣᎶᏒᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎨᏒ ᎿᎭᏛᏁᎲ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎬᏁᏤᎲᎢ.
22 But simultaneously also prepare a lodging for me, for I hope that by your prayers I will be granted to you.

23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, salutes thee,

24 and Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my co-workmen.

25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit. Truly.
