Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother: to Philemon, our beloved and fellow labourer;
Ma sel Paul, sie mwet kapir ke sripen Christ Jesus, ac sel Timothy, sie mwet lulalfongi wiasr — Nu sel Philemon, su mwet kawuk ac mwet orekma wiasr,
2 And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy house:
ac nu sin mwet in church su tukeni in lohm sum; oayapa Apphia, sie mutan wiasr in lulalfongi, ac Archippus, mwet wiasr in mweuni ma koluk.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Lela God Papa tumasr, ac Leum Jesus Christ in asot nu suwos lungkulang ac misla.
4 I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers.
Philemon, mwet kawuk luk, pacl nukewa nga pre uh nga esam kom na, ac nga sang kulo nu sin God luk keim.
5 Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints:
Mweyen nga lohng ke lungse lom nu selos nukewa mwet lun God, ac ke lulalfongi lom ke Leum Jesus.
6 That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work, that is in you in Christ Jesus.
Nga pre tuh sie sin sie lasr kewa mwet lulalfongi, fah mwe akyokye kalem lasr ke mwe insewowo nukewa su kut eis ke sripen moul in asruoki lasr yurin Christ.
7 For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
Mwet kawuk saok luk, lungse lom inge akenganyeyu ac akkeyeyu ma lulap! Kom arulana akpwaryeak insien mwet lun God nukewa.
8 Wherefore though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose:
Sripa inge oru oasr pulaik luk, oana ke nga mwet lili lom in Christ, in sapkin ma fal kom in oru.
9 For charity sake I rather beseech, whereas thou art such a one, as Paul an old man, and now a prisoner also of Jesus Christ.
Tusruktu ke sripen lungse luk nu sum, nga tia sap, a nga ngisre kom. Nga oru ouinge finne nga pa Paul, mwet tutafpo lun Christ Jesus, ac inge nga oayapa sie mwet kapir ke sripal.
10 I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus,
Ouinge nga siyuk sum kacl Onesimus, su oana sie wen nutik in Christ; tuh ke nga muta in presin nga oana sie papa tumal in ngun.
11 Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable both to me and thee,
Sie pacl ah tuh wangin sripal nu sum, tusruktu inge oasr sripal nu sum ac oayapa nu sik.
12 Whom I have sent back to thee. And do thou receive him as my own bowels.
Inge nga folokunulot nu yurum, ac nunak luk kacl uh welul fahsrot.
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel:
Nga kena sruokilya elan wiyu muta inge, ke nga muta in presin ke sripen Wosasu, elan ku in aol kom kasreyu.
14 But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary.
Tusruktu, nga tia lungse akkohsye kom in kasreyu; a nga ke kom in oru ke lungse na lom. Ke ma inge nga ac tia oru kutena ma kom fin tia insese nu kac.
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee, that thou mightest receive him again for ever: (aiōnios g166)
Sahp Onesimus el tuh som liki kom ke kitin pacl tuh kom in mau ku in sifil eisal elan mutana yurum nwe tok. (aiōnios g166)
16 Not now as a servant, but instead of a servant, a most dear brother, especially to me: but how much more to thee both in the flesh and in the Lord?
El ne mwet kohs se lom, tuh el tia ana mwet kohs se, mweyen inge el sie mwet lulalfongi saok wiom in Christ. Yohk na pwaye sripal nu sik! Ac el fah arulana yohk pac sripal nu sum, ke el sie mwet foko lom ac oayapa sie mwet lulalfongi wiom in Leum!
17 If therefore thou count me a partner, receive him as myself.
Ke ma inge, kom fin motko mu kital tukeni in orekma se inge, kom in engan in sifilpa eisal nu yurum oana ke kom ac eisyu uh.
18 And if he hath wronged thee in any thing, or is in thy debt, put that to my account.
El fin tuh orala kutu ma tafongla, ku soemoul nu sum ke kutena ma, kom oakla mu ma nga ac akfalye.
19 I Paul have written it with my own hand: I will repay it: not to say to thee, that thou owest me thy own self also.
Nga fah simis ma inge ke pouk sifacna: [Nga, Paul, ac fah moli nu sum]. (Nga tia sruk enenu in akesmakinye kom lah kom soemoul nu sik ke moul lom sifacna.)
20 Yea, brother. May I enjoy thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.
Ouinge, mwet lili luk, nunak munas oru enenu se luk inge Inen Leum. Akpwaryeyuyak, oana ke kital tukeni lulalfongi ke Christ!
21 Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
Ke nga simis ma inge nga etu na lah kom ac fah oru ma nga siyuk uh — aok, nga etu lah kom ac fah laesla in oru yohk liki.
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
Ac oayapa nga siyuk kom in akoela nien muta luk, mweyen nga finsrak mu God El ac fah topuk pre lowos an, ac folokinyuwot nu yuruwos.
23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;
Epaphras, su wiyu pac kapir ke sripen Christ Jesus, el supu lung lal nu suwos,
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow labourers.
ac oayapa mwet ma wiyu orekma inge: Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, ac Luke.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Lungkulang lun Leum Jesus Christ in wi kowos nukewa.
