فِلِيْمُون 1

١ 1 مِنْ بُولُسَ، السَّجِينِ لأَجْلِ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، وَمِنْ الأَخِ تِيمُوثَاوُسَ، إِلَى فِلِيمُونَ الْحَبِيبِ شَرِيكِنَا فِي الْعَمَلِ،

Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ, and brother Timothy, to Philemon the beloved also our fellow-laborer,

٢ 2 وَإِلَى الأُخْتِ أَبْفِيَّةَ، وَرَفِيقِنَا فِي التَّجَنُّدِ أَرْخِيبُّوسَ، وَإِلَى الْكَنِيسَةِ الَّتِي فِي بَيْتِكَ.

and to sister Apphia, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and the church in your house.

٣ 3 لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ!

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

٤ 4 إِنِّي أَشْكُرُ إِلَهِي، إِذْ أَذْكُرُكَ دَائِماً فِي صَلَوَاتِي،

I give thanks to my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,

٥ 5 وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ بِمَا لَكَ مِنْ مَحَبَّةٍ وَأَمَانَةٍ مِنْ نَحْوِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، وَمِنْ نَحْوِ جَمِيعِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ،

hearing about your divine love, and the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and all the saints;

٦ 6 طَالِباً أَنْ يَكُونَ اشْتِرَاكُكَ مَعَنَا فِي الإِيمَانِ فَعَّالاً، فَتُدْرِكَ إِلَى التَّمَامِ مَا فِينَا مِنْ كُلِّ صَلاحٍ لأَجْلِ الْمَسِيحِ.

in order that the fellowship of your faith may be efficient in the perfect knowledge of every good thing which is in you toward Christ.

٧ 7 فَقَدْ كَانَ لِي أَيُّهَا الأَخُ، سُرُورٌ عَظِيمٌ وَتَشْجِيعٌ، بِفَضْلِ مَحَبَّتِكَ، لأَنَّ عَوَاطِفَ الْقِدِّيسِينَ قَدِ انْتَعَشَتْ بِفَضْلِكَ!

For I had much joy and consolation over your divine love, because the affections of the saints have been refreshed by you, O brother.

٨ 8 لِذَلِكَ، فَمَعَ أَنَّ لِي كَامِلَ الْحَقِّ فِي الْمَسِيحِ أَنْ آمُرَكَ بِالْوَاجِبِ،

Therefore, having much boldness in Christ to command you to that which is appropriate,

٩ 9 إِلّا أَنِّي، إِكْرَاماً لِلْمَحَبَّةِ، اخْتَرْتُ أَنْ أُقَدِّمَ إِلَيْكَ الْتِمَاساً، بِصِفَتِي بُولُسَ الْعَجُوزَ وَالسَّجِينَ حَالِيًّا لأَجْلِ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

on account of the divine love, I the more exhort you, being such as Paul the aged, and now also the prisoner of Jesus Christ.

١٠ 10 فَأَلْتَمِسُ مِنْكَ لأَجْلِ وَلَدِي الَّذِي وَلَدْتُهُ وَأَنَا مُكَبَّلٌ بِالْقُيُودِ، أُونِسِيمُوسَ،

I exhort you concerning my son, whom I begat in my bonds, Onesimus,

١١ 11 الَّذِي كَانَ فِي الْمَاضِي غَيْرَ نَافِعٍ لَكَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ الآنَ نَافِعٌ لَكَ وَلِي.

him at one time unprofitable to you, but now profitable both to you and to me: whom I have sent back to you,

١٢ 12 فَإِيَّاهُ أَرُدُّ إِلَيْكَ، فَاقْبَلْهُ كَأَنَّهُ فِلْذَةٌ مِنْ كَبِدِي!

him, that is my own heart.

١٣ 13 وَكُنْتُ رَاغِباً فِي الاحْتِفَاظِ بِهِ لِنَفْسِي، لِكَيْ يَخْدِمَنِي نِيَابَةً عَنْكَ فِي قُيُودِ الإِنْجِيلِ.

Whom I did wish to have with me, in order that he might minister unto me in your stead in the bonds of the gospel:

١٤ 14 وَلكِنِّي لَمْ أُرِدْ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ شَيْئاً مِنْ دُونِ رَأْيِكَ، لِيَكُونَ مَعْرُوفُكَ لَا كَأَنَّهُ عَنِ اضْطِرَارٍ بَلْ عَنِ اخْتِيَارٍ.

but without your consent I did not wish to do anything; in order that your good might not be by constraint, but by the free will:

١٥ 15 فَرُبَّمَا لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ قَدْ أُبْعِدَ إِلَى حِينٍ: كَيْ تَمْتَلِكَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، (aiōnios g166)

for on this account he suddenly departed from you for an hour, that you might have him back forever; (aiōnios g166)

١٦ 16 لَا كَعَبْدٍ فِيمَا بَعْدُ، بَلْ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ، أَخاً حَبِيباً، إِلَيَّ بِخَاصَّةٍ، فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى إِلَيْكَ، فِي الْجَسَدِ وَفِي الرَّبِّ مَعاً؟

no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a brother beloved, especially to me, and much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord:

١٧ 17 فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْتَبِرُنِي شَرِيكَكَ، فَاقْبَلْهُ كَأَنَّهُ أَنَا.

if then you have me a comrade, receive him as myself.

١٨ 18 وَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ أَسَاءَ إِلَيْكَ فِي شَيْءٍ، أَوْ كَانَ مَدْيُوناً لَكَ بِشَيْءٍ، فَاحْسِبْ ذَلِكَ دَيْناً عَلَيَّ.

If he has wronged you as to anything, or owes you anything, charge this to me.

١٩ 19 وَهَا أَنَا بُولُسَ قَدْ كَتَبْتُ هَذَا بِخَطِّ يَدِي: أَنَا أُوفِي، وَلَسْتُ أُذَكِّرُكَ هُنَا أَنَّكَ مَدْيُونٌ لِي بِنَفْسِكَ أَيْضاً.

I Paul have written with my own hand, I will pay it: not that I may say to you that you even owe yourself to me.

٢٠ 20 نَعَمْ، أَيُّهَا الأَخُ، أَطْلُبُ مِنْكَ أَنْ تَنْفَعَنِي، فِي الرَّبِّ، بِهَذَا الْمَعْرُوفِ: أَنْعِشْ عَوَاطِفِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ

Yea, brother, let me rejoice over you in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ.

٢١ 21 لَمَّا كُنْتُ وَاثِقاً بِإِطَاعَتِكَ، كَتَبْتُ هَذِهِ الرِّسَالَةَ إِلَيْكَ، عَالِماً أَنَّكَ سَتَفْعَلُ أَيْضاً فَوْقَ مَا أَطْلُبُ.

Having confidence in your obedience I have written to you, knowing that you will do even more than those things which I say.

٢٢ 22 وَفَضْلاً عَنْ هَذَا، أَعِدَّ لِي عِنْدَكَ مَكَاناً لِلإِقَامَةِ، لأَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ أُوهَبَ لَكُمْ إِجَابَةً لِصَلَوَاتِكُمْ.

And at the same time also prepare for me a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I will be consigned unto you.

٢٣ 23 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ أَبَفْرَاسُ، رَفِيقُ سِجْنِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ،

Epaphras, my fellow-soldier in Christ Jesus;

٢٤ 24 وَكَذَلِكَ مَرْقُسُ، وَأَرِسْتَرْخُسُ، وَدِيمَاسُ، وَلُوقَا زُمَلائِي فِي الْعَمَلِ.

Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers, salute you.

٢٥ 25 وَلْتَكُنْ نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ مَعَ رُوحِكُمْ!

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
