< Philemon 1 >

1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon our beloved friend and fellow-laborer,
Susura ia mia au, Paulus. Au nonoo ngga Timotius o haitua sodꞌa-moleꞌ boe. Sadꞌi aꞌa muhine, ara tao au sia bui rala ia, huu au dui-bꞌengga soꞌal Yesus Kristus neu atahori. Au suraꞌ susura ia fee neu nggo, Filemon, fo hai sueꞌ a, ma mana dadꞌi hai nonoo mana tao ues ma;
2 and to the beloved Apphia, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in thy house:
fee aꞌa Apfia, fo hai tao e onaꞌ hai toronoom; fee Arkipus, mana ue-tao naꞌabꞌue no hai sia ue-tataos ia ra; boe ma fee jamaꞌat mana biasa hule-oꞌe raꞌabꞌue sia umem.
3 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Au oꞌe Lamatualain no hita Lamatuan Yesus Kristus ratudꞌu Rala Malole nara neu nggi, fo ona bee na, misodꞌa no mole-dꞌame.
4 I thank my God at all times, making mention of thee in my prayers,
Filemon! Mete ma au hule-oꞌe fee nggo, au oꞌe makasi neu Lamatuaꞌ huu masodꞌam.
5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints;
Au rena naeꞌ, soꞌal nemeherem neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, ma susuem neu atahori mamahereꞌ ra.
6 that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us, for Christ Jesus.
Huu nemeherem naa, ho bisa musodꞌa ralaꞌ esa mo atahori mamahereꞌ laen ra. Au hule-oꞌe fo mete ma hei mitudꞌu rala malole mara esa no esa, na, hei mihine lenaꞌ basa dꞌala maloleꞌ, fo hita bisa tao fee neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus.
7 For we have great thankfulness and comfort on account of thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
Aꞌa! Huu susuem naa, ho tao rala ngga namahoꞌo ena, ma tao manggatee rala ngga. Ma susuem naa o, tao manggatee atahori mamahereꞌ hetar rala nara ena boe.
8 Wherefore, though I have much boldness in Christ to enjoin upon thee that which is befitting,
Aꞌa ee! Au parlu taꞌo ia: au dadꞌi Kristus dedꞌenun. No taꞌo naa, au uꞌena hak fo parenda nggo tao dalaꞌ ia. Te au nda nau parenda-parendaꞌ sa, au ae oꞌe tulun ꞌa, onaꞌ atahori lasiꞌ ra roꞌe tulun. Au dadꞌi atahori bꞌui huu au tungga Yesus Kristus. Naa de au umburani oꞌe tulun nggo, huu uhine susuem neu atahori hetar.
9 yet for love's sake I beseech thee rather; being such a one as Paul an old man, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus,
10 I beseech thee for my child, whom I begot in my bonds, Onesimus;
Au oꞌe nggo mutudꞌu susuem neu ana ngga, Onesimus. Eni, onaꞌ ana bꞌonggi ngga, huu namahere Lamatuaꞌ Yesus mia ue-tatao ngga leleꞌ au mia bui ia rala.
11 who in time past was unprofitable to thee, but is now profitable to thee and to me;
Au bubꞌuluꞌ Onesimus naa, ho atem mana nela hela nggo. Au o bubꞌuluꞌ, feꞌesaꞌan ana nda ma ngguna saa fee nggo sa boe. Te aleꞌ ia, au umuhere ana naꞌena nggunaꞌ naen seli soaꞌ neu ruꞌa nggita.
12 whom I have sent back; and do thou [[receive]] him, that is, my own flesh.
Au sue ala e seli, te hela neu, au fee baliꞌ e nisiꞌ nggo.
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might minister to me in the bonds of the gospel;
Matetun, au ae hela e, fo nggati nggo, fo mete-seꞌu au sia ia. Huu au nda kaꞌe ala fo tao saa-saa sia ia sa boe. Au dadꞌi atahori bꞌui huu dui-bꞌengga Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Hara-lii Malolen neu atahori.
14 but I chose to do nothing without thy consent, that thy benefit may be not as from necessity, but willingly.
Akaꞌ au nda nau fo ho tungga-tunggaꞌ a sa, huu atahori akaꞌ raꞌasusuuꞌ nggo. Au hihii ngga na, ho tao maloleꞌ huu hihii-nanaum. Dadꞌi mete ma ho nda feꞌe nau sa, na au o nda nau tao saa-saa soꞌal Onesimus ia sa boe, huu naa ho hak ma.
15 For perhaps he was separated from thee for a season to this end, that thou shouldst receive him back as thine for ever; (aiōnios g166)
Mbeima ho duꞌa taꞌo ia: Lamatuaꞌ hela Onesimus dinggoꞌ hela nggo nda dooꞌ sa, fo neti leo baliꞌ no nggo losa doon. (aiōnios g166)
16 no longer as a bond-servant, but above a bond-servant, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more to thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord!
Leleꞌ ana nela, ana dadꞌiꞌ a ate ma. Te aleꞌ ia ana baliꞌ, ana dadꞌi odꞌi susuem ena. Au o sue ala e seli boe! Dadꞌi ia naa, nggunan bau namanae fee nggo. Huu ana nda dadꞌiꞌ a ate sa, te ana o dadꞌi odꞌim mana mimihere belaꞌ neu Kristus.
17 If thou then regardest me as a partner, receive him as myself.
Dadꞌi, taꞌo ia aꞌa. Mete ma ho mae au ia onaꞌ toronoo mana tao ues ma, na, au oꞌe fo ho simbo e onaꞌ ho simbo au boe.
18 And if he wronged thee in anything, or oweth thee, put that to my account.
Te, itaꞌ mbeima hambu Onisimus tao nasalaꞌ nggo, do, feꞌe nahuta nggo, hela fo au tanggon ala.
19 I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it; not to say to thee, that to me thou owest even thy own self besides.
Meteꞌ a! susura hutaꞌ ia, au suraꞌ endiꞌ lima heheli ngga: Au, Paulus, dei fo au bꞌae ala Onisimus huta-bꞌukun mana sia Filemon. Dai ena, do? Ma au o nda parlu uꞌingga ho huta-bꞌukum naeꞌ lenaꞌ neu au sa. Naeni, ho dadꞌi muu Lamatuaꞌ atahorin, huu au.
20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.
Tebꞌe, aꞌa! Hela neu fo aꞌa tulun au sia dalaꞌ ia, huu hita bobꞌonggiꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ rala. Au tao rala ngga manggatee taꞌo naa, huu basa nggita dadꞌi Kristus enan ena.
21 Having confidence in thy obedience I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say.
Aꞌa! Au suraꞌ susura ia fee nggo, huu au umuhere nggo nau rena malolole neu au. Au duꞌa ae, neꞌo tao mulenaꞌ saa fo au oꞌeꞌ a.
22 And at the same time make ready a lodging for me; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.
Hambu dalaꞌ esa fai. Tulun sadꞌia fee au kama esa dei. Huu au umuhere Lamatuaꞌ rena hule-oꞌe mara, de dei fo Ana soi dalaꞌ fo au kalua mia bꞌui ia, fo baliꞌ eti ita nggi sia naa.
23 Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus,
Eprafas sia ia. Ana o dadꞌi atahori bꞌui huu ana dui-bꞌengga soꞌal Yesus Kristus, onaꞌ au boe. Ana haitua hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ neu nggo boe
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-laborers, salute thee.
Markus, Aristarkus, Demas, no Lukas o sia ia boe. Ara tao ues raꞌabꞌue ro au boe. Ara o haitua hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ boe.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Au oꞌe neu Hita Lamatuan Yesus Kristus fo natudꞌu rala malolen neu basa nggi. Baꞌuꞌ a naa ena! Sodꞌa-moleꞌ Paulus
