Philemon 1

1 [I], Paul, am a prisoner [who serves] Christ Jesus. [I am here] with Timothy, our fellow believer. [I am writing this letter] to [you], Philemon, our dear [friend] and fellow worker.

Pál, Jézus Krisztusnak foglya és Timóteus, az atyafi, Filemonnak, a mi szeretett munkatársunknak,

2 [I am also writing] to [your wife], Apphia, and to Archippus, [who is like] [MET] our fellow soldier [because he serves Christ steadfastly together with us]. I am also [writing this] to the congregation [that meets/gathers] in your [(sg)] house.

Appiának, a szeretettnek, és Arkhiposznak, a mi bajtársunknak és a te házadnál lévő gyülekezetnek:

3 [I pray that] God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ [will continue to] act kindly toward you all and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.

Kegyelem néktek és békesség Istentől, a mi Atyánktól és az Úr Jézus Krisztustól.

4 I always thank my God when I pray for you [(sg)], because I hear [people say that] you love all God’s people [CHI]

Hálát adok az én Istenemnek mindenkor, emlegetve téged imádságaimban,

5 and that you continue to trust in the Lord Jesus.

mert hallok a te szeretetedről és hitedről, amely az Úr Jézus iránt és minden szent iránt van benned,

6 I pray that as a result of your knowing all the good things [that God/Christ has done for] us, you may (be effective/influence many others) as you tell others what you believe, in order that [they may honor] Christ.

hogy a hitben való közösségünk hatékony legyen minden jónak a felismerésére a Krisztus ügyében.

7 I have rejoiced greatly and have been greatly encouraged because you, my dear friend, have acted lovingly toward God’s people by encouraging them [SYN].

Mert sok örömünk és vigasztalásunk van a te szeretetedben, hogy a szentek szívét megvidámítottad.

8 So [I have a request/favor to ask of you]. I am completely confident [that I have authority] to command you [to do] what you ought to do, because [I am an apostle of] Christ.

Ezért, bár Krisztusban bátran meg is parancsolhatnám neked azt, ami a kötelességed,

9 But because [I know that you] love [God’s people], I request this instead of [commanding you to do it]. It is I, Paul, an old man and now also a prisoner [because I serve] Christ Jesus, [who am requesting it].

a szeretet miatt inkább csak kérlek, én, az öreg Pál, most pedig Jézus Krisztusnak foglya.

10 I request that you [do something] for someone [who has become like] my own son [because I told him about Christ] [MET] while [I have been] a prisoner [MTY] [here. His name is] Onesimus.

Kérlek téged az én fiamért, Onézimoszért, akit fogságomban szültem,

11 Although [his name, as you know, means ‘useful’], formerly he was useless to you. But now he is useful both to you and to me!

aki neked egykor haszontalan volt, most pedig mind neked, mind nekem igen hasznos,

12 Although (he is [as dear to me as/I love him as much as I love]) [MET] my own self [MTY], I am sending him back to you.

akit visszaküldtem hozzád, mint saját szívemet, hogy fogadd magadhoz!

13 I would like to have kept him with me, in order that he might serve me on your behalf, while I am a prisoner [MTY] [because of my preaching] the message [about Christ].

Magamnál akartam ugyan tartani, hogy helyetted szolgáljon nekem az evangéliumért szenvedett fogságomban.

14 Nevertheless, because [I had not yet asked you and] you had not yet permitted me [to keep him here with me], I decided not to [keep him here. I decided that I should] not do anything without your permitting it. [I decided that you should help me only if you] really want to help me.

De a te megkérdezésed nélkül semmit sem akartam tenni, hogy jótetted ne kikényszerített, hanem önkéntes legyen.

15 Perhaps the reason that [God permitted] Onesimus to be separated from {to leave} you for a little while was that [he would believe in Christ, and as a result] you would have him (back/with you) forever! (aiōnios g166)

Mert talán azért vált meg tőled ideig-óráig, hogy örökre visszakapjad. (aiōnios g166)

16 [You will no longer have him only] as a slave. Instead, [you will have him] as [someone who is] more than a slave. [You will have him] as a fellow believer! He is especially dear to me, but he certainly will be more dear to you [than he is to me] (OR, I love him very much, but you will certainly love him more than I do), [because now he] not only belongs to you but he also belongs to the Lord.

Most már nem úgy, mint szolgát, hanem mint szeretett atyafit, különösképpen nekem, de mennyivel inkább neked, test szerint is és az Úrban is.

17 So, if you consider me to be your partner [in God’s work], receive him as you would receive me.

Ha tehát engem társadnak tartasz, úgy fogadd őt magadhoz, mint engem.

18 If he has wronged you in any manner or if he owes you anything, (charge that to me/tell me so that I can pay you).

Ha pedig valamit vétett ellened, vagy adósod, azt nekem számítsd fel.

19 I, Paul, am now writing this in my own handwriting: I will repay you what he owes you, although I might mention to you that you owe me even more than Onesimus may owe you, because it was the result of my telling you about Christ that God saved you.

Én, Pál saját kezűleg írom: én meg fogom téríteni neked. Arról nem is szólva, hogy ezen felül magaddal is adós vagy nekem.

20 (Yes/I say it again), my dear friend, because you and I both have a relationship with the Lord, I want you to do this for me. Encourage me [SYN] [by receiving Onesimus kindly, just like you encourage others who believe] in Christ.

Bizony, atyámfia, jótettet várok tőled az Úrban. Vidámítsd meg az én szívemet is az Úrban!

21 I have written [this letter] to you, confident that you will do what I am requesting you to [do]. [In fact], I know that you will do even more than what I am requesting [you to do].

Engedelmességedben bízva írtam neked, tudva, hogy még többet is fogsz tenni annál, amit mondok.

22 Also, keep a guest room ready for me [to stay in], because I confidently expect that as a result of your prayers [for me, I] will be released [from prison and will come] to you all.

Egyúttal készíts szállást is nekem, mert remélem, hogy imádságaitokért ajándékul kaptok engem.

23 Epaphras, who is [suffering] with me in prison because of [his serving] Christ Jesus, (sends his greetings to you/wants you to know that he is thinking fondly about you).

Köszönt téged Epafrász, fogolytársam a Krisztus Jézusban,

24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, who are my [other] fellow workers, also (send their greetings to you/want you to know that they are thinking fondly about you).

Márk, Arisztarkhosz, Démász és Lukács, az én munkatársaim.

25 [I pray that] the Lord Jesus Christ [will] ([continue to] work kindly in all your lives/kindly keep accomplishing what he desires within you).

A mi Urunk Jézus Krisztusnak kegyelme legyen a ti lelketekkel!
