Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
khrii. s.tasya yii"so rbandidaasa. h paulastiithiyanaamaa bhraataa ca priya. m sahakaari. na. m philiimona. m
2 to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
priyaam aappiyaa. m sahasenaam aarkhippa. m philiimonasya g. rhe sthitaa. m samiti nca prati patra. m likhata. h|
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
asmaaka. m taata ii"svara. h prabhu ryii"sukhrii. s.ta"sca yu. smaan prati "saantim anugraha nca kriyaastaa. m|
4 I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
prabhu. m yii"su. m prati sarvvaan pavitralokaan prati ca tava premavi"svaasayo rv. rttaanta. m ni"samyaaha. m
5 hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
praarthanaasamaye tava naamoccaarayan nirantara. m mame"svara. m dhanya. m vadaami|
6 that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.
asmaasu yadyat saujanya. m vidyate tat sarvva. m khrii. s.ta. m yii"su. m yat prati bhavatiiti j naanaaya tava vi"svaasamuulikaa daana"siilataa yat saphalaa bhavet tadaham icchaami|
7 For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
he bhraata. h, tvayaa pavitralokaanaa. m praa. na aapyaayitaa abhavan etasmaat tava premnaasmaaka. m mahaan aananda. h saantvanaa ca jaata. h|
8 Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
tvayaa yat karttavya. m tat tvaam aaj naapayitu. m yadyapyaha. m khrii. s.tenaatiivotsuko bhaveya. m tathaapi v. rddha
9 yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
idaanii. m yii"sukhrii. s.tasya bandidaasa"scaivambhuuto ya. h paula. h so. aha. m tvaa. m vinetu. m vara. m manye|
10 I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains,
ata. h "s. r"nkhalabaddho. aha. m yamajanaya. m ta. m madiiyatanayam onii. simam adhi tvaa. m vinaye|
11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
sa puurvva. m tavaanupakaaraka aasiit kintvidaanii. m tava mama copakaarii bhavati|
12 I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
tamevaaha. m tava samiipa. m pre. sayaami, ato madiiyapraa. nasvaruupa. h sa tvayaanug. rhyataa. m|
13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
susa. mvaadasya k. rte "s. r"nkhalabaddho. aha. m paricaarakamiva ta. m svasannidhau varttayitum aiccha. m|
14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
kintu tava saujanya. m yad balena na bhuutvaa svecchaayaa. h phala. m bhavet tadartha. m tava sammati. m vinaa kimapi karttavya. m naamanye|
15 For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever, (aiōnios g166)
ko jaanaati k. sa. nakaalaartha. m tvattastasya vicchedo. abhavad etasyaayam abhipraayo yat tvam anantakaalaartha. m ta. m lapsyase (aiōnios g166)
16 no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
puna rdaasamiva lapsyase tannahi kintu daasaat "sre. s.tha. m mama priya. m tava ca "saariirikasambandhaat prabhusambandhaacca tato. adhika. m priya. m bhraataramiva|
17 If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
ato heto ryadi maa. m sahabhaagina. m jaanaasi tarhi maamiva tamanug. rhaa. na|
18 But if he has wronged you at all or owes you anything, put that to my account.
tena yadi tava kimapyaparaaddha. m tubhya. m kimapi dhaaryyate vaa tarhi tat mameti viditvaa ga. naya|
19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).
aha. m tat pari"sotsyaami, etat paulo. aha. m svahastena likhaami, yatastva. m svapraa. naan api mahya. m dhaarayasi tad vaktu. m necchaami|
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
bho bhraata. h, prabho. h k. rte mama vaa nchaa. m puuraya khrii. s.tasya k. rte mama praa. naan aapyaayaya|
21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
tavaaj naagraahitve vi"svasya mayaa etat likhyate mayaa yaducyate tato. adhika. m tvayaa kaari. syata iti jaanaami|
22 Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
tatkara. nasamaye madarthamapi vaasag. rha. m tvayaa sajjiikriyataa. m yato yu. smaaka. m praarthanaanaa. m phalaruupo vara ivaaha. m yu. smabhya. m daayi. sye mameti pratyaa"saa jaayate|
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
khrii. s.tasya yii"saa. h k. rte mayaa saha bandiripaaphraa
24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
mama sahakaari. no maarka aari. s.taarkho diimaa luuka"sca tvaa. m namaskaara. m vedayanti|
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
asmaaka. m prabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasyaanugraho yu. smaakam aatmanaa saha bhuuyaat| aamen|
