Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
Kai Pawl, Khrih Jisuh e thongim ka bawt lah kaawm e, hoi maimae hmaunawngha Timote ni, lungpataw awh e thaw tawk hui Filemon,
2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
Lung pataw awh e tawncanu Apphia, ransa hui Archippus, hoi nama im kaawm e kawhmoun nangmouh koe ca na patawn awh.
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Maimae Pa Cathut hoi Bawipa Jisuh Khrih koehoi a lungmanae hoi lungmawngnae teh nangmouh koe awm yungyoe seh.
4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
Nang ni Jisuh Khrih na yuem teh tami kathoungnaw lung na pataw tie ka thai nah,
5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
Cathut lungpatawnae hah ka pholen teh nang hanelah ouk ka ratoum.
6 That the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
Khrih Jisuh thung tawn e hno pueng na panue thai nahanlah yuemnae dawk na kâroe nahanlah ouk ka ratoum.
7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the hearts of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
Ka nawngha, nang ni tami kathoungnaw e a lungthin na roum sak dawkvah, nange lungpatawnae dawk ka lung ahawi awh.
8 Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command thee what is befitting,
Hatdawkvah, na sak kawinaw hah na sak thai nahanlah Khrih thung taranhawinae lahoi nang teh kâ na poe.
9 Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
A kum kacue e kai Pawl ni, Jisuh Khrih hanlah thongim ka bo nah patenghai yah, lungpatawnae lahoi doeh ka dei.
10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
Kateknae ka khang lahun nah, ka ca Onesimus hanelah lawk na thui.
11 Who in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
Yampa teh nang hanelah hno kamcu hoeh e lah ao ei, atu teh nang hoi kai hanelah, hno kamcu e lah ao toe.
12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, my own heart:
Ahni hah nang koe let ka patoun dawkvah, ka ca rayin patetlah pouk lah a.
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel:
Kamthang kahawi kecu dawk, kateknae ka khang navah na ka khenyawn hanelah, nang na yueng ta hanelah ka ngai ei,
14 But without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
Kai dawk hawinae na sak navah, ngangngang saksak e lah awm laipalah, lungtho nalaihoi saksak e lah ao nahan, nang ni na pasoung laipalah banghai sak hane ka ngai hoeh.
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; (aiōnios g166)
Hothloilah, nang ni ahni hah pou na tawn nahanlah, nang hoi dongdeng kampek e lah ao ti hanelah ao. (aiōnios g166)
16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more to thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
Hottelah ti navah, san patetlah nahoeh, alawkpui lah ka lungpataw e ka nawngha lah ao. Nang koe natawng teh takthai koe lahai, Bawipa dawk hai, banghloimaw hoe ao han ka tinae doeh.
17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
Hatdawkvah kai hah na hui lah na pouk pawiteh, ahni hah kai patetlah pouk van lah a.
18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee any thing, put that on my account;
Ahni ni nang koe a payon e, lai a ba e awm pawiteh kai hanelah ma hrueng lawih a.
19 I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it: although I do not say to thee that thou owest to me even thy own self besides.
Ka patho pouh han ti teh kai Pawl ni ka kut hoi ca lah ka thut. Hatei, nama roeroe hah kai koe na patho hane ao ka ti ngainae na hoeh.
20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my heart in the Lord.
Ka nawngha, Bawipa dawk kai koe hawinae sak haw. Khrih dawkvah ka lung roum sak haw.
21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote to thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
Na tarawi han doeh titeh lunghringnae ka tawn hoeh. Ka dei e hlak acawilah na sak han doeh titeh panue nalaihoi ca ka thut e doeh.
22 But at the same time prepare for me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given to you.
Hothloilah, ka luen nahane im hai sut la pathoup lah a. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh ni na ratoum awh e lahoi, nangmouh na o awhnae koe pha thainae kâ na poe han doeh ti teh ngaihawinae ka tawn.
23 There greet thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
Khrih Jisuh thung kai hoi thongim rei ka bawt roi e Epaphras,
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellowlabourers.
thaw ka tawk hui lah kaawm e Mark, Aristarkas, Demas, Luk tinaw ni kut na man awh.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. Written from Rome to Philemon, by Onesimus a servant.
Maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e a lungmanae teh nangmae lungthin muitha hoi cungtalah awm lawiseh. Amen.
