Filimoni 1
1 une ne Paulo, ne juno nikungilie vwimila kudalikila iMhola ja Yesu kilisite. nikukulembela uve Filimoni. une nunyalukolo ghwitu u uTimoteo, tukuhungila uve ghwe mughanike ghwitu, ghwe n'jiitu mumbombo.
To my beloved friend and coworker Philemon,
2 tukumuhungila nu lumbu liitu uAfisa nu mulwalilungu n'jiitu uAlikipo, palikimo na vitiki vano vikong'aana mu nyumba jaako.
to my sister Apphia, to my fellow soldier Archippus, and to the church which meets at Philemon’s house. From Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and brother Timothy.
3 ulusungu nulutengano kuhuma kwa Nguluve Nhaata ghwitu, nakwa Mutwa uYesu Kilisite, luvisaghe numue.
Grace and peace be to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 jatu pano nikukusumila, nikumwongesia uNguluve munyifunyo sango.
I am ever mentioning you in my prayers, and giving thanks to God,
5 ulwakuva nipulika imhola ja lwitiko lwako mwa Mutwa Yesu, nulughano lwako kuvitiiki vooni. ulwitiki lwako lukupelile kuuva nu vuhangilanisi na vange.
because I am hearing of your love and of the faith which you hold, not only toward the Lord Jesus Christ, but toward all the saints.
6 lino nikukufuunya kuuti, uvuhangilanisi uvuo vuvombaghe imbombo n'kate mulyumue kuuti, mu uluo lukuvapela kukagula inofu sooni, sino tunoghile kuvomba mwa Yesu Kilisite.
And I pray that your participation may become effectual, as you come to acknowledge every good thing which is in you to Christ.
7 nyalukolo, ulughano lwako luvahovwisie avitiki mumooja ghaave. najuune lumhelile ulukeelo ulukome nakukung'angasia.
For I have great joy and comfort in your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed.
8 lino napano nili nu vutavulilua mwa Kilisite kukukulaghila kino unoghile kuvomba, nanivomba uluo.
And so, although I might be bold in Christ to dictate to you what is fitting,
9 Looli vwimila ulughani nivwene lunono nikusuume, une ne Paulo ndavule nili mughogholo ne pinyua mwa Yesu Kilisite.
yet for love’s sake, I rather beseech you, I, Paul, an old man, and now a prisoner for Christ Jesus!
10 nikukusuma mu lwa Onesimo, juno ahene mwanango ulwakuva nintangile kukumwitika uYesu Kilisite pano nilimundinde.
I beseech you for my son, Onesimus, whom I have begotten in these chains.
11 uju ye akukimbiile, naakale kinu kulyuve. lino lutangilo kulyuve, kange lutangilo kulyune.
Once you found him "unprofitable," but now he is "profitable" to you and to me.
12 lino nikunsung'ha kulyuve, uju nimughanile nu mwojo ghwango ghwoni.
I am sending him back to you, he himself, that is, my very heart!
13 kange niveele nikeela ikale nuune aave m'bombi ghwango kuuti ahaale palyune kukunhanga, pano nilimundinde vwimila imhola inofu.
I could wish to retain him at my side, so that he might minister to me in your stead, in my bonds for the gospel.
14 neke lino nivwene nalunono kuvomba lumonga kisila vughane vwako, nambe kukukwumilisia kuuti unhange. une nilonda uvombe muvughane vwako juuve.
But without your consent I was unwilling to do anything, so that your kindness to me might be of your own free will, and not of compulsion.
15 pamo uNguluve akam'busisie uOnesimo kulyumue un'siki n'debe, neke pambele uuve nu mwene jaatu. kutengulila lino un'kami ghako ujuo nan'kami lwene, (aiōnios g166)
Perhaps for this reason you were separated from him for an hour, in order that you might have him back forever, (aiōnios g166)
16 looli n'kami kange nyalukolo mughanike. une nimughanile kyongo, uve ghukumughana kukila, hene mwana ghwa munyumba jaako, kange nyalukolo mwa Mutwa.
no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, as a brother beloved; especially dear to me, but how much more to you, both as a man and a fellow Christian.
17 lino nave ung'hagwile une kuti nili vuhangilanisi nuuve, umwupile ujuo ndavule ghwale ukunyupila une.
If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me.
18 neke nave akuhokile, nambe ukun'sighila kimonga, usighilaghe une.
And if he has wronged you at all, or is owing you anything, charge that to me.
19 neke Paulo nilembile nuluvoko lwango juune, nikukuhomba. kange uve ghukagula kuuti nikukusighila kukila kino ghukun'sighila uOnesimo ulakuva mumbombo jango ija vudaliki, uve ghwavangilue.
I Paul am writing this in my own handwriting, "I will repay you." But I will not mention that you owe me, over and over, your very soul.
20 Lino nyalukolo ghwango umbombele ulu vwimila ilitavua lwa Mutwa. hovosia umwojo ghwango ndavule lunoghiile kuvanyalukolo ma Kilisite
Come my brother, let me have joy in the Lord because of you! Refresh my heart in Christ!
21 nilemba isi, ulwakuva nikaghwile kuti ghukunda, kange kyaghuvomba kukila fino nikukusuma.
Because I am thoroughly persuaded of your obedience, I have written you, knowing full well that you will do by me what I am asking.
22 palikimo nisio unding'anikisyaghe apa kufikila, ulwakuva nihuvila kuti munyifunyo siinu, uNguluve ikunhanga niise kulyumue.
Please also prepare for me a lodging, for I am hoping by your prayers to be restored to you again.
23 Uepafula juno adindilue palikimo nu mue vwimila uYesu Kilisite ghwitu ikukuhungila.
Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greeting;
24 kange avavombi avajango uMalika, uAlisitaliko, uDema nu Luuka, vikukuhungila.
so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
25 ulusungu lwa Mutwa ghwitu Yesu Kilisite luvisaghe numue.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
