Philemon 1
1 Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, and our brother Timotheus, vnto Philemon our deare friende, and fellowe helper,
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 our deare sister Apphia, and to Archippus our fellowe souldier, and to the Church that is in thine 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 be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Lela God Papa tumasr, ac Leum Jesus Christ in asot nu suwos lungkulang ac misla.
4 I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers,
Philemon, mwet kawuk luk, pacl nukewa nga pre uh nga esam kom na, ac nga sang kulo nu sin God luk keim.
5 (When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes)
Mweyen nga lohng ke lungse lom nu selos nukewa mwet lun God, ac ke lulalfongi lom ke Leum Jesus.
6 That the fellowship of thy faith may bee made effectuall, and that whatsoeuer good thing is in you through Christ Iesus, may be knowen.
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 we haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because by thee, brother, the Saintes bowels are comforted.
Mwet kawuk saok luk, lungse lom inge akenganyeyu ac akkeyeyu ma lulap! Kom arulana akpwaryeak insien mwet lun God nukewa.
8 Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient,
Sripa inge oru oasr pulaik luk, oana ke nga mwet lili lom in Christ, in sapkin ma fal kom in oru.
9 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.
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 beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes,
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 Which in times past was to thee vnprofitable, but nowe profitable both to thee and to me,
Sie pacl ah tuh wangin sripal nu sum, tusruktu inge oasr sripal nu sum ac oayapa nu sik.
12 Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels,
Inge nga folokunulot nu yurum, ac nunak luk kacl uh welul fahsrot.
13 Whom I woulde haue reteined with mee, that in thy steade he might haue ministred vnto me in the bondes 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 minde woulde I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly.
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 It may be that he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer, (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 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?
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 our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe.
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 If he hath hurt thee, or oweth thee ought, that put on mine accounts.
El fin tuh orala kutu ma tafongla, ku soemoul nu sum ke kutena ma, kom oakla mu ma nga ac akfalye.
19 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.
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, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort 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 thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then 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 Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto 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 felowe prisoner in Christ Iesus,
Epaphras, su wiyu pac kapir ke sripen Christ Jesus, el supu lung lal nu suwos,
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my felowe helpers.
ac oayapa mwet ma wiyu orekma inge: Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, ac Luke.
25 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. ‘Written from Rome to Philemon, and send by Onesimus a seruant.’
Lungkulang lun Leum Jesus Christ in wi kowos nukewa.
