Paul a prisoner of Christ Jesus and Timothy [our] brother To Philemon the beloved and fellow worker of us
2 Lung pataw awh e tawncanu Apphia, ransa hui Archippus, hoi nama im kaawm e kawhmoun nangmouh koe ca na patawn awh.
and to Apphia (our sister *N(K)O*) and to Archippus the fellow soldier of us and to the at [the] house of you church:
3 Maimae Pa Cathut hoi Bawipa Jisuh Khrih koehoi a lungmanae hoi lungmawngnae teh nangmouh koe awm yungyoe seh.
Grace to you and peace from God Father of us and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Nang ni Jisuh Khrih na yuem teh tami kathoungnaw lung na pataw tie ka thai nah,
I thank the God of mine always mention of you making upon the prayers of mine,
5 Cathut lungpatawnae hah ka pholen teh nang hanelah ouk ka ratoum.
hearing of your love and the faith that you have (toward *NK(o)*) the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
6 Khrih Jisuh thung tawn e hno pueng na panue thai nahanlah yuemnae dawk na kâroe nahanlah ouk ka ratoum.
so that the fellowship of the faith of you effective may become in [the] acknowledgment of every good [thing] that [is] in (us *N(K)O*) in Christ (Jesus. *K*)
7 Ka nawngha, nang ni tami kathoungnaw e a lungthin na roum sak dawkvah, nange lungpatawnae dawk ka lung ahawi awh.
(Joy *NK(O)*) for great (I have *N(K)O*) and encouragement by occasion of the love of you, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
8 Hatdawkvah, na sak kawinaw hah na sak thai nahanlah Khrih thung taranhawinae lahoi nang teh kâ na poe.
Therefore much in Christ boldness having to order you what [is] befitting
9 A kum kacue e kai Pawl ni, Jisuh Khrih hanlah thongim ka bo nah patenghai yah, lungpatawnae lahoi doeh ka dei.
for the sake of love rather I exhort [you], such a one being as Paul aged now then also a prisoner of Christ Jesus;
10 Kateknae ka khang lahun nah, ka ca Onesimus hanelah lawk na thui.
I exhort you for my child whom I have begotten in the chains (of mine *K*) Onesimus,
11 Yampa teh nang hanelah hno kamcu hoeh e lah ao ei, atu teh nang hoi kai hanelah, hno kamcu e lah ao toe.
once to you useless now however (both *n*) to you and to me myself useful,
12 Ahni hah nang koe let ka patoun dawkvah, ka ca rayin patetlah pouk lah a.
whom I have sent back (to you *N(K)O*) (now *k*) in person — who is my very heart — (do yourself receive. *K*)
13 Kamthang kahawi kecu dawk, kateknae ka khang navah na ka khenyawn hanelah, nang na yueng ta hanelah ka ngai ei,
whom I myself was wishing with myself to keep, so that on behalf of you me he may serve in the chains of the gospel;
14 Kai dawk hawinae na sak navah, ngangngang saksak e lah awm laipalah, lungtho nalaihoi saksak e lah ao nahan, nang ni na pasoung laipalah banghai sak hane ka ngai hoeh.
Apart from however your consent no [thing] I wished to do, so that not as according to necessity the good of you may be but according to willingness.
15 Hothloilah, nang ni ahni hah pou na tawn nahanlah, nang hoi dongdeng kampek e lah ao ti hanelah ao. (aiōnios g166)
Perhaps for because of this he was separated [from you] for a time, so that eternally him you may possess; (aiōnios g166)
16 Hottelah ti navah, san patetlah nahoeh, alawkpui lah ka lungpataw e ka nawngha lah ao. Nang koe natawng teh takthai koe lahai, Bawipa dawk hai, banghloimaw hoe ao han ka tinae doeh.
no longer no longer as a slave but above a slave, a brother beloved, especially to me myself, how much however more to you both in [the] flesh and in [the] Lord?
17 Hatdawkvah kai hah na hui lah na pouk pawiteh, ahni hah kai patetlah pouk van lah a.
If therefore me you consider a partner, do yourself receive him as me myself.
18 Ahni ni nang koe a payon e, lai a ba e awm pawiteh kai hanelah ma hrueng lawih a.
If however in any way he has wronged you or he owes [you], this to me myself do charge.
19 Ka patho pouh han ti teh kai Pawl ni ka kut hoi ca lah ka thut. Hatei, nama roeroe hah kai koe na patho hane ao ka ti ngainae na hoeh.
I myself Paul did write with my own hand, I myself will repay [it]; that not I may say to you that even yourself to me you owe also.
20 Ka nawngha, Bawipa dawk kai koe hawinae sak haw. Khrih dawkvah ka lung roum sak haw.
Yes, brother, I myself from you I would have profit in [the] Lord; do refresh my heart in (Christ. *N(K)O*)
21 Na tarawi han doeh titeh lunghringnae ka tawn hoeh. Ka dei e hlak acawilah na sak han doeh titeh panue nalaihoi ca ka thut e doeh.
Having been persuaded of the obedience of you I write to you knowing that even above (what [things] *N(k)O*) I say you will do.
22 Hothloilah, ka luen nahane im hai sut la pathoup lah a. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh ni na ratoum awh e lahoi, nangmouh na o awhnae koe pha thainae kâ na poe han doeh ti teh ngaihawinae ka tawn.
At the same time now also do prepare for me a lodging; I hope for that through the prayers of you I will be granted to you.
23 Khrih Jisuh thung kai hoi thongim rei ka bawt roi e Epaphras,
(He greets *N(K)O*) you Epaphras fellow prisoner of mine in Christ Jesus,
24 thaw ka tawk hui lah kaawm e Mark, Aristarkas, Demas, Luk tinaw ni kut na man awh.
[as do] Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, [and] Luke, the fellow workers of mine.
25 Maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e a lungmanae teh nangmae lungthin muitha hoi cungtalah awm lawiseh. Amen.
The grace of the Lord (of us *KO*) Jesus Christ [be] with the spirit of you. (Amen. *KO*) (to To Philemon it was written from Rome through Onesimus servant. *K*)
