Philemon 1
1 Paul a prisoner of Christ Jesus and Timothy [our] brother To Philemon the beloved and fellow worker of us
Na Paora, na te herehere a Karaiti Ihu, na to taua teina hoki, na Timoti, ki ta maua e aroha nei, ki to maua hoa mahi, ki a Pirimona,
2 and to Apphia (our sister *N+KO) and to Archippus the fellow soldier of us and to the at [the] house of you church:
Ki a Apia hoki, ko to maua tuahine, ki to maua hoa hoia, ki a Arakipu, ki te hahi hoki i tou whare:
3 Grace to you and peace from God Father of us and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Kia tau te aroha noa ki a koutou, me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.
4 I thank the God of mine always mention of you making upon the prayers of mine,
Tenei ahau te whakawhetai atu nei ki toku Atua, mau tonu toku mahara ki a koe i aku karakiatanga:
5 hearing of your love and the faith that you have (toward *NK+o) the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
He rongo noku ki tou aroha, ki tou whakapono ki te Ariki, ki a Ihu, a ki te hunga tapu katoa;
6 so that the fellowship of the faith of you effective may become in [the] acknowledgment of every good [thing] that [is] in (us *N+KO) in Christ (Jesus. *K)
Mo te whakahoatanga mai o tou whakapono kia whai mana, i runga i te matauranga ki nga pai katoa i roto i a koutou, he mea ki a Karaiti Ihu.
7 (Joy *NK+O) for great (I have *N+KO) and encouragement by occasion of the love of you, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
He nui hoki to matou koa, marie ana hoki te ngakau i tou aroha, no te mea e ora ana nga ngakau o te hunga tapu i a koe, e toku teina.
8 Therefore much in Christ boldness having to order you what [is] befitting
Heoi ahakoa he nui toku maia i roto i a te Karaiti ki te whakatakoto atu i te mea tika ki a koe,
9 for the sake of love rather I exhort [you], such a one being as Paul aged now then also a prisoner of Christ Jesus;
Na te aroha ke taku ka inoi atu nei, ara taku, ta te koroheke, ta Paora, he herehere nei inaianei na Ihu Karaiti;
10 I exhort you for my child whom I have begotten in the chains (of mine *K) Onesimus,
He kupu tenei naku ki a koe mo taku tamaiti, mo Onehimu, he mea whanau naku i ahau nei i te herehere:
11 once to you useless now however (both *n) to you and to me myself useful,
I mua, kahore tetahi mea pai ana ki a koe; inaianei ia, kua whai pai koe i a ia, ahau ano hoki.
12 whom I have sent back (to you *N+KO) (now *k) in person — who is my very heart — (do yourself receive. *K)
Kua whakahokia atu nei ia e ahau, tona tinana tonu, ko toku manawa ake ia.
13 whom I myself was wishing with myself to keep, so that on behalf of you me he may serve in the chains of the gospel;
I mea ano ahau kia puritia ia ki ahau, hei whakakapi mou ki te mahi ki ahau i roto i nga mekameka o te rongopai:
14 Apart from however your consent no [thing] I wished to do, so that not as according to necessity the good of you may be but according to willingness.
Otira kahore nei tau kupu, kihai ahau i pai kia meatia tetahi mea; kei riro whakauaua mai tou pai; engari i roto ano i te ngakau.
15 Perhaps for because of this he was separated [from you] for a time, so that eternally him you may possess; (aiōnios g166)
Ko te mea ano pea tenei i motuhia mai ai ia i a koe mo tetahi wa, kia mau pu ai ia i a koe ake ake; (aiōnios g166)
16 no longer no longer as a slave but above a slave, a brother beloved, especially to me myself, how much however more to you both in [the] flesh and in [the] Lord?
Ehara i te mea hei pononga ia i enei wa, engari tera atu i te pononga, he teina i nui rawa ai toku aroha, tera ia e nui rawa atu tou, i te kikokiko, i te Ariki ano hoki.
17 If therefore me you consider a partner, do yourself receive him as me myself.
Na, ki te mea kua waiho ahau hei hoa mou, manako mai ki a ia me te mea ko ahau.
18 If however in any way he has wronged you or he owes [you], this to me myself do charge.
Ki te mea ia kua he ia ki tetahi mea au, kei a ia ranei tetahi mea au, waiho mai maku tena e whakaaro;
19 I myself Paul did write with my own hand, I myself will repay [it]; that not I may say to you that even yourself to me you owe also.
He tuhituhi tenei naku, na Paora, na toku ringaringa ake, maku e whakautu; na kahore aku meatanga atu ki a koe, tera ano taku taonga kei a koe, ko koe ano.
20 Yes, brother, I myself from you I would have profit in [the] Lord; do refresh my heart in (Christ. *N+KO)
Ae ra, e toku teina, kia whai pai ahau i a koe i roto i te Ariki: kia ora toku ngakau i roto i te Ariki.
21 Having been persuaded of the obedience of you I write to you knowing that even above (what [things] *N+kO) I say you will do.
He u no toku whakaaro ki a koe ka ngohengohe, i tuhituhi atu ai ahau ki a koe, e mohio ana hoki, tera e nui atu tau e mea ai i taku e korero atu nei.
22 At the same time now also do prepare for me a lodging; I hope for that through the prayers of you I will be granted to you.
Tenei ano hoki, kia rite mai i a koe tetahi whare moku: e mea ana hoki ahau tera e mana a koutou inoi, a ka tukua atu ahau kia a koutou.
23 (He greets *N+KO) you Epaphras fellow prisoner of mine in Christ Jesus,
Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koe a Epapara, toku hoa herehere i roto i a Karaiti Ihu,
24 [as do] Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, [and] Luke, the fellow workers of mine.
Ratou tahi ko Maka, ko Aritaku, ko Rimaha, ko Ruka, oku hoa mahi.
25 The grace of the Lord (of us *KO) Jesus Christ [be] with the spirit of you. (Amen. *KO) (to To Philemon it was written from Rome through Onesimus servant. *K)
Kia tau te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti ki o koutou wairua. Amine.
