Failimone 1
1 Na, Bolo, na da Yesu Gelesu Ea hawa: hamobeba: le se iasu diasu ganodini sali amola ninia fi dunu Dimodi, ania da amo meloa di Failimone ania na: iyado amola fidisu dunu, dima dedesa.
From Paul, now a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and from Timothy, a fellow follower of the Lord.
2 Amola Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi dunu ilia dia diasuga gilisisa, amola Yesu Ea fi uda ea dio amo A: fia amola ania gegesu fidisu dunu Agibase, ilima ania dedesa.
To our dear friend and fellow worker Philemon, to our sister Apphia, to our fellow soldier Archippus; and to the church that meets at Philemon’s house;
3 Ninia Ada Gode amola Hina Yesu Gelesu dilima hahawane dogolegele iasu amola olofosu ima: ne, ania dawa: lala.
may God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
4 Na fi dunu Failimone! Na da dia Gode Ea fi dunu huluane ilima asigidafa hou amola dia Hina Gode Yesuma bagadewane dafawaneyale dawa: su hou, amo na da nababeba: le, na da na sia: ne gadosu huluane amo ganodini dia dio sia: ne, dia houba: le Godema nodone sia: ne gadosa.
I always mention you in my prayers and thank God for you,
because I hear of the love and the faith which you show, not only to the Lord Jesus, but also to all his people;
6 Ninia amola di, da Yesu Ea hou lalegaguiba: le, madelagi dagoi. Amo Yesuma madelagiba: le esalusu hou ninia gilisili bu baligiliwane dawa: ma: ne, na da Godema sia: ne gadolala.
and I pray that your participation in the faith may result in action, as you come to a fuller realization of everything that is good and Christlike in us.
7 Na fi dunu! Di da nama asigiba: le, na da hahawane gala amola na dogo da denesi. Di da Gode Ea fi dunu huluane ilia dogo hahawane denesi dagoi.
I have indeed found great joy and encouragement in your love, knowing, as I do, how the hearts of Christ’s people have been cheered, friend, by you.
8 Amaiba: le, na da mae beda: iwane, dima Yesu Gelesu ganodini ola hamoiba: le, dima hamoma: ne sia: sa.
And so, though my union with Christ enables me, with all confidence, to dictate the course that you should adopt,
9 Be na da dima asigiba: le, na da hamoma: ne mae sia: ne, dima asigiwane adole ba: mu fawane. Na da Bolo, Yesu Gelesu Ea adole iasu dunu, wali Ea hawa: hamobeba: le, se iasu diasu ganodini sali. Be na da gasawane hamoma: ne mae sia: ne, asigiwane dima adole ba: sa.
yet the claims of love make me prefer to plead with you – yes, even me, Paul, though I am an ambassador for Christ Jesus and, now a prisoner for him as well.
10 Ounisimase da Yesu Gelesu Ea hou lalegaguiba: le, nagofe agoane hamoi. Na da se iasu diasu ganodini esala, ea eda agoane hamoi. Na da dima adole ba: sa. Di Ounisimase fidimu da defeala: ?
I plead with you for this child of mine, Onesimus, to whom, in my prison, I have become a father.
11 Musa: amo dunu da di hame fidisu. Be wali e da di amola na fidimusa: dawa: lala.
Once he was of little service to you, but now he has become of great service, not only to you, but to me as well;
12 Na da Ounisimase dima bu asunasimu. Na da ema bagadewane asigiba: le, fedege agoane e ahoasea, na dogo da e sigi masunu.
and I am sending him back to you with this letter – though it is like tearing out of my heart.
13 Di da guiguda: hame esalebeba: le, na fidimu da hamedei ba: sa. Na da Gode Ea sia: olelebeba: le, se iasu diasu ganodini esala. Amaiba: le, Ounisimase amo na fidima: ne, na da gagulaligimusa: dawa: lala.
For my own sake I should like to keep him with me, so that, while I am in prison for the good news, he might attend to my wants on your behalf.
14 Be na da gasawane dia fidisu hou logemu higa: i gala mabu. Dia hanaiba: le fawane na fidimu da defea. Amaiba: le, dia sia: beba: le fawane na dia fidisu lamu.
But I do not wish to do anything without your consent, because I want your generosity to be voluntary and not, as it were, compulsory.
15 Amabela: ? Ounisimase da fa: no eso huluane dia fidisu dunu esaloma: ne, musa: dia hawa: hamosu yolesili, ga sogega fonobahadi esalumusa: hobea: i. (aiōnios g166)
It may be that he was separated from you for an hour, for this reason, so that you might have him back for ever, (aiōnios g166)
16 Be wali e da dia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu fawane hame, be e da amo hou baligi dagoi. E da wali ninia fi dunu Yesu Gelesu ganodini esala. E da nama bagadewane dogolegei hamoi dagoi. Amaiba: le, e da dia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu amola gilisili dia fi dunu Hina Gode Ea fi ganodini hamoiba: le, e da dima baligiliwane dogolegele hamomu.
no longer as a slave, but as something better – a dearly loved friend and follower of the Lord, especially dear to me, and how much more so to you, not only as a person, but as your fellow Christian!
17 Amaiba: le, di amola na, ania da gilisili na: iyadowane Yesu Gelesu Ea hawa: hamosa, amo di dawa: galea, e bu masea, di da nama yosia: mu defele, ema hahawane yosia: ma.
If, then, you count me your friend, receive him as you would me.
18 E da dima wadela: le hamoi galea o dima dabe imunu galea, defea, nisu da dima amo dabe ima: ne di nama sia: ma.
If he has caused you any loss, or owes you anything, charge it to me.
19 Na da nisu na loboga dedemu amane, “Na, Bolo, na da dima amo dabe imunu.” (Be na da di Yesuma oule asiba: le, dia da nama dabe imunu agoai galebe.)
I, Paul, put my own hand to it – I will repay you myself. I say nothing about your owing me your self.
20 Amaiba: le, na fi dunu! Hina Gode Ea hou dawa: beba: le, dia amo fidisu hou nama hamoma. Di da na fi dunu Yesu Gelesu ganodini. Amaiba: le na dogo denesima.
Yes, friend, let me gain something from you because of your union with the Lord. Cheer my heart by your Christlike spirit.
21 Na da amo meloa dedene iabeba: le, amo na adole ba: i liligi di da hamomu na dawa: Hame! Di da na adole ba: i baligili, eno bagadewane hamomu amo na dawa:
Even as I write, I have such confidence in your compliance with my wishes, that I am sure that you will do even more than I am asking.
22 Amola, amo adole ba: su amoma na da eno adole ba: su gilisimusa: dawa: sa. Dia na golama: ne sesei hahamoma. Na hanai da Gode da dilia huluane sia: ne gadobeba: le, dilima dili hanai liligi imunu, amola E da na dilima bu asunasimu.
Please also get a lodging ready for me, for I hope that I will be given back to you all in answer to your prayers.
23 Eba: fala: se amo da na gilisili Yesu Gelesu Ea hawa: hamobeba: le, se iasu diasu ganodini sali, amo da dilima asigi sia: adosisa.
Epaphras, who is my fellow prisoner for Christ Jesus, sends you his greeting;
24 Nama gilisili hawa: hamosu dunu amo Maga, Alisidagase, Dimase amola Luge, ilia da dilima asigi sia: adosisa.
and Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers, send theirs.
25 Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu amo ea hahawane dogolegele iasu dilima dialoma: ne, na Godema sia: ne gadosa. Sia: Ama Dagoi
May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ rest on your souls.
