Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellow labourer,
ᎠᏴ, ᏉᎳ, ᏥᏴᎩ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎩᏍᏛᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᎹᏗ ᎢᎩᏅᏟ, ᏫᏍᏛᏲᏪᎳᏏ ᏆᎵᎹᏂ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᏍᏛᎨᏳᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏠᏱ ᏗᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ,
2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your 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.
ᎬᏩᎦᏘᏯ ᎤᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏅᏩᏙᎯᏯᏛ ᏕᏥᎧᎿᎭᏩᏗᏙᎮᏍᏗ ᏅᏓᏳᎾᎵᏍᎪᎸᏔᏅᎯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎢᎩᏙᏓ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ.
4 I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,
ᏥᏯᎵᎡᎵᏤᎰ ᎠᏆᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎬᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎪ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎦᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ,
5 Hearing of your love (agape) and faith, which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
ᎦᏛᎩᏍᎬ ᏣᏓᎨᏳᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏦᎯᏳᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᎨᏳᎭ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏥᏌ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏂᎥ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ ᏥᏕᎯᎨᏳᎭ;
6 That the communication of your faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᏤᎳᏗᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏱᏂᎬᏂᏒ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏱᏂᎦᎵᏍᏓ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏥᏯᎥᎢ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬᎢ.
7 For we have great joy and consolation in your love, (agape) because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by you, brother.
ᎤᏣᏘᏰᏃ ᎤᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗ ᎣᎨᎭ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗ ᎠᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏣᏓᎨᏳᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᏛᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ ᏧᏂᎾᏫ ᏕᎯᎦᎵᏍᏓᏕᎲᎢ, ᎥᎩᏅᏟ.
8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to admonish you that which is convenient,
ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎠᎩᎭ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎩᏁᎸᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏁᏤᎲ ᏥᏚᏳᎪᏗ ᎢᏣᏛᏁᏗᏱ;
9 Yet for love's (agape) sake I rather plead to you, being such an one as Paul the aged, 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 plead to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
ᎬᏍᏗᏰᏗᎭ ᎠᏇᏥ ᎣᏂᏏᎹ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎥᏆᎸᎢᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏆᏕᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ.
11 Which in time past was to you useless, but now profitable to you and to me:
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏩᎫᏔᏅᏒ ᏂᏣᏍᏕᎵᏍᎬᎾ ᏥᎨᏒᎩ, ᎪᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᏥᎩ ᏣᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏴ ᎠᎩᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ;
12 Whom I have sent again: you therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏔᎵᏁ ᎥᏥᏅᎵ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏂᎯ ᏕᎯᏯᏓᏂᎸᏨᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏋᏒ ᎠᎩᎾᏫ ᏥᎩ.
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in your position he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏆᏚᎵᏍᎬᎩ ᏥᏯᎧᎯᏯᏍᏗᏱ ᎠᏂ ᎨᏙᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎯ ᏍᎩᏍᏕᎸᎯᏓᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎩᏍᏕᎸᎯᏓᏍᏗᏱ ᎥᏆᎸᎢᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎠᎩᏍᏛᏗᏍᎬᎢ;
14 But without your mind would I do nothing; that your benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
ᎠᏎᏃ ᏂᎯ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏂᏣᏰᎸᏅᎾ ᎥᏝ ᏯᏆᏚᎸᎮ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎠᏆᏛᏁᏗᏱ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᏂᏍᏆᏛᏁᎲ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏣᏰᎸᏅ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᎥᏝᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎ ᎢᏣᏛᏁᏗᏱ ᏂᏣᎵᏍᏓᏁᎲᎢ.
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that you should receive him for ever; (aiōnios g166)
ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏱᎩ ᏞᎦ ᏳᏓᏅᏒ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏘᏯᏓᏂᎸᎢᏍᏗ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎤᏕᏗᏱ. (aiōnios g166)
16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto you, both in the 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 you count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎢᏳᏃ ᎣᎩᎾᏖᏉᎶᎯ ᏍᏇᎵᏎᎮᏍᏗ, ᏕᎯᏯᏓᏂᎸᏨᎭ ᎠᏴ ᏥᏕᏍᏆᏓᏂᎸᎪ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.
18 If he has wronged you, or owes you ought, put that on mine account;
ᎢᏳᏃ ᎤᏣᏘᏂ ᏂᏣᏛᏁᎴᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎯᏚᎨᏍᏕ, ᎠᏴᏉ ᎠᏆᎫᏴᏗ ᏅᏁᎸᎭ;
19 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: although it be I do not say to you how you owe unto me even your own self besides.
ᎠᏴ ᏉᎳ ᎠᏋᏒ ᎠᏉᏰᏃ ᎬᏓ ᎪᏪᎸᎦ, ᎠᏴ ᏓᎦᎫᏴᎯ; ᎥᏝᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᏨᏒ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎬᏚᎦ ᏗᏍᏆᏓᏲᎯᏎᏗᏱ ᏱᎬᏲᏎᎭ.
20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
ᎥᎥ, ᏗᎾᏓᏅᏟ, ᎤᎵᎮᏍᏗ ᏍᏆᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏓ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ; ᎯᎦᎵᏍᏓᏓᏉ ᎠᎩᎾᏫ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏕᎾᏁᎶᏛᎢ.
21 Having confidence in your obedience I wrote unto you, knowing that you will also do more than I say.
ᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᎠᏆᎵᏍᎦᏍᏙᏛ ᏫᎬᏲᏪᎳᏁᎸᎩ, ᏥᎦᏔᎲᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏣᎶᏒᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎨᏒ ᎿᎭᏛᏁᎲ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎬᏁᏤᎲᎢ.
22 But likewise prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏍᏆᏛᏅᎢᏍᏓᏁᎸᎭ ᏍᎩᏍᏆᏂᎪᏙᏗᏱ; ᎤᏚᎩᏰᏃ ᎠᏋᎭ ᎢᏣᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏐᏗᏱ ᏔᎵᏁ ᏫᏨᎷᏤᏗᏱ.
23 There salute you Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;
ᏫᎨᏣᏲᎵᎦ ᎡᎦᏉ, ᏗᏧᎳᎭ ᎣᏍᏗᏴᎩ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏥᏌ ᎣᎩᏂᏍᏛᏗᏍᎬᎢ;
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow labourers.

25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. (pneuma) Amen.
