I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers,
5 Boeipa Jesuh so neh hlang cim rhoek boeih soah nangmih kah lungnah neh tangnah na khueh uh te ka yaak.
(When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes)
6 Te daengah ni mamih ah Khrih ham a then mingnah cungkuem neh na tangnah dongkah rhoinaengnah te khuekcet la a om eh.
That the fellowship of thy faith may bee made effectuall, and that whatsoeuer good thing is in you through Christ Iesus, may be knowen.
7 Nang kah lungnah dongah omngaihnah neh thaphohnah muep ka khueh coeng. Manuca na saeh, nang rhangneh hlangcim rhoek kah a kotak tah paang caih uh coeng.
For we haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because by thee, brother, the Saintes bowels are comforted.
8 Te dongah a tueng te tah Khrih ah sayalhnah muep khueh sak ham ni nang n'tueih.
Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient,
9 Patong bangla aka om Paul long he lungnah neh lat kan hloep.
Yet for loues sake I rather beseeche thee, though I be as I am, euen Paul aged, and euen nowe a prisoner for Iesus Christ.
10 Tedae Khrih Jesuh kah thongtla long khaw ka ca ham te nang kan hloep coeng. Amah Onesima he hloong dongah ni ka sak.
I beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes,
11 Anih te hnukbuet ah nang ham a hoeihae coeng dae, tahae atah nang ham neh kai ham khaw congpang coeng.
Which in times past was to thee vnprofitable, but nowe profitable both to thee and to me,
12 Anih te nang tengah kan tueih. Te ni ka kotak ah aka om.
Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels,
13 Anih te ka taengla khueh ka ngaih. Te daengah ni olthangthen kah hloong khuiah khaw nang yueng la kai m'bongyong eh.
Whom I woulde haue reteined with mee, that in thy steade he might haue ministred vnto me in the bondes of the Gospel.
14 Tedae nang kah mingpueinah pawt atah saii ka ngaih moenih. Te daengah ni nang a then loh kueknah lam pawt tih, namah kongaih ningla a om eh.
But without thy minde woulde I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly.
It may be that he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer, (aiōnios g166)
16 Anih he sal voel pawt tih sal lakah olpuei la kai ham tah thintlo manuca la om coeng. Pumsa neh Boeipa ah nang ham muep lat hoekhang coeng.
Not now as a seruant, but aboue a seruant, euen as a brother beloued, specially to me: howe much more then vnto thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord?
17 Te dongah kai he pueipo la nan khueh atah kai bangla anih te doe.
If therefore thou count our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe.
18 Tedae nang soah thae tih lai a ba khoem atah te te kai hut la nawt laeh.
If he hath hurt thee, or oweth thee ought, that put on mine accounts.
19 Kai Paul loh kamah kut neh kan daek coeng. Kamah loh kan sah bitni. Te te nang taengah, 'Nang khaw kai lai na ba van,’ ka ti moenih.
I Paul haue written this with mine owne hande: I will recompense it, albeit I doe not say to thee, that thou owest moreouer vnto me euen thine owne selfe.
20 Thuem pai, manuca nang, kai tah nang lamlong ni Boeipa dongah ka hoeikhang. Ka kotak tah Khrih ah mong coeng.
Yea, brother, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort my bowels in the Lord.
21 Nang kah olngainah te ka pangtung dongah ni nang taengah kan daek. Ka thui te a pueh la na saii pataeng ni tila ka ming.
Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then I say.
22 Pahoi ah kai ham khaw pahnah rhoekbah lah. Nangmih kah thangthuinah rhangneh nangmih khodawkngai ham te ka ngaiuep.
Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto you.
