Philemon 1

1 Paul, prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy my brother, —unto Philemon the beloved, and a fellow worker of ours,

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 unto Apphia our sister. And unto Archippus our fellow-soldier, and unto the assembly which meeteth, at 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 Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and 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 am giving thanks unto my God—always, 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 of the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus and towards all the saints, —

Au rena naeꞌ, soꞌal nemeherem neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, ma susuem neu atahori mamahereꞌ ra.

6 To the end that, the fellowship of thy faith, may become, energetic, by a personal knowledge of every good thing that is in us towards Christ;

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, much joy, have I had, and encouragement, by occasion of thy love, in that, the tender affections of the saints, have had rest given them 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, freedom of speech, in Christ, to be enjoining 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 loves sake, I rather exhort, —being, such a one, as Paul the aged, now, also, even a prisoner of Christ Jesus, —

10 I exhort thee concerning my own child, whom I have begotten 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 Him who, at one time, was, unto thee, unserviceable, but, now, unto thee and unto me, serviceable;

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 unto thee—him, that is, my own, tender affections!—

Au sue ala e seli, te hela neu, au fee baliꞌ e nisiꞌ nggo.

13 Whom, I, was minded, with myself, to detain, that, in thy behalf, unto me, he might be ministering in the bonds of the joyful message;

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, apart from thy mind, I wished to do, nothing, that, not as by necessity, thy goodness should be, but, by choice.

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, peradventure, for this cause, was he separated for an hour, that, as an age-abiding possession, thou mightest have him back, — (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 servant, but above a servant—a brother beloved, very greatly to me, but, how much rather, 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, therefore, thou holdest me as one in thy fellowship, take him unto thee, 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 hath wronged thee at all or oweth thee aught, the same, unto me, do thou reckon: —

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]; that I may not tell thee—that, thyself, unto me, thou still owest.

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, I, would, from thee, have help, in the Lord: give rest unto my tender affections 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 Confident of thine obedience, I have written unto thee, knowing that, even beyond what I say, thou wilt do: —

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 At the same time, moreover, be also getting ready for me, a lodging; for I am hoping that, through your prayers, I shall be granted as a favour unto 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 There salute thee—Epaphras my fellow-captive 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-workers.

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 favour of the 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
