Filimoni 1
1 Une che Paolo jundaŵikwe kwa ligongo lya kwatumichila Che Yesu Kilisito. Une pamo ni che Timoseo nlongo njetu, tukunnembela alakwe che Filimoni jwakunonyelwa jwetu, ni junkupanganya masengo pamo nowe,
Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon our beloved and co-workman,
2 ni kwa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wose waukusongangana mu nyuumba jenu, ni kwa alumbu ŵetu che Afia ni kwa che Alikipo jwangondo njetu.
and to the beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the congregation at thy house:
3 Tukunsachilanga umbone ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu, ni Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Nlongo njangu che Filimoni, katema kose pangupopela, ngunkumbuchila mmwe, ni kwatogolela Akunnungu ŵangu,
I thank my God, making recollection of thee always in my prayers,
5 pakuŵa ngupilikana inkuti pakwakulupilila Ambuje Che Yesu ni inkuti pakwanonyela ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu.
hearing of thy love and faith, which thou have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the sanctified,
6 Ngumpopelela kwa Akunnungu kuti mme ni machili ga kwasalila ŵandu ŵane chikulupi chenu, kuti akombole kumanyilila indu yambone itukwete uwe ŵatulumbikene ni Kilisito.
so that the fellowship of thy faith may become potent (in the knowledge of every good thing in us) for Christ Jesus.
7 Nlongo njangu, unonyelo wenu usengwasisye kwannope ni kulimbisya ntima. Pakuŵa njisengwasisye mitima ja ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu.
For we have much joy and encouragement in thy love, because the bowels of the sanctified have been refreshed by thee, brother.
8 Kwa ligongo lyo, naŵaga nlongo njenu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, ngakombwele kunnajisya pangali lipamba mpanganye chinkusachilwa kuchipanganya,
Therefore, though I have much boldness in Christ to command thee that which is befitting,
9 nambo kwa ligongo lya unonyelo, mmbaya nammende. Ngutenda yeleyi namuno uneji che Paolo jundi jwanchekulwipe, ni sambano ndaŵikwe kwa liwamba lya Che Yesu Kilisito.
because of love I rather beseech, being such as aged Paul, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
10 Kwayele ngunchondelela munkamuchisye che Onesimo jwali mwanangu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito. Pakuŵa ndili atatigwe chimbumu kutyochela patwaliji pamo mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵandu.
I beseech thee for my child Onesimus, whom I begot in my bonds.
11 Jwelejo kalakala nganakola masengo kukwenu, nambo sambano akwete masengo kukwenu ni kukwangu.
A man formerly unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me, whom I sent back.
12 Sambano ngummusya kukwenu, namuno ngwanonyela kwannope.
And thou should welcome him, that is, my bowels.
13 Ngasachile atame none papapa kuti angamuchisye pamalo penu pandili jwantawe ligongo naliji nkulalichila Ngani Jambone.
Whom I wanted to keep back for myself, so that in thy behalf he might serve me in the bonds of the good news.
14 Ngangusaka kunkanganichisya mungamuchisye, nambo ngusaka mpanganye inkuti pakusaka mwasyene. Kwayele ngangupanganya chachilichose mpaka pachinsache.
But I wanted to do nothing without thy mind, so that thy goodness might not be as from obligation, but from volition.
15 Panepa lyeleli lili ligongo, che Onesimo ŵalekangene ni mmwe kwa katema, kuti auje sooni kukwenu ni kutama ni jwelejo moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
For perhaps because of this he departed for an hour, so that thou might receive him back forever, (aiōnios g166)
16 Sambano jwelejo nganaŵa kapolo sooni nambo jwambone kumpunda kapolo, sambano jwelejo ali nlongo nkulumbikana ni Kilisito. Jwelejo ali jwambone nnope kwangune, nombe kukwenu chaŵe ŵambone mwakupunda, pakuŵa jwelejo ali njetu ni nlongo njenu kwa chiilu ni nkulumbikana ni Ambuje.
no longer as a bondman, but above a bondman, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to thee, both in flesh and in the Lord.
17 Nipele, iŵaga nkuumona ndili jwamasengo njenu, mumpochele che Onesmo mpela inkatite pakuumbochela une nansyene.
If then thou have me a partner, accept him as myself.
18 Iŵaga anneŵele chachili chose, pane akwete ligambo, chinanlipe.
But if he has wronged thee, or owes anything, charge this to me.
19 Une che Paolo ngulemba kwa nkono wangu nansyene kuti chilipe. Ngangusachilwa kunkumbusya kuti nkwete magambo kukwangu lyalili umi wenu.
I Paul write with my hand, I will repay, so that I may not say to thee that thou owe me in return even thyself.
20 Kwayele, nlongo njangu, ngunchondelela mungamuchisye kwa litala li kwa liwamba lya Ambuje, sambano nti nlongo njangu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, muunonyelesye ntima wangu.
Yes, brother, let me have a favor of thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.
21 Ngunnembela njimanyililaga kuti chimumbilikanile, sooni ngumanyilila isyene kuti chimumpanganyichisye yakupunda ni ingusala yi.
Being confident in thine obedience I wrote to thee, knowing that thou will do above what I say.
22 Pamo ni yose yi, mumichile chile chuumba chakugona, pakuŵa ngulolela kuti Akunnungu chajanje mapopelo genu ni une chinechelelwe ni chinanjimajimile.
But simultaneously also prepare a lodging for me, for I hope that by your prayers I will be granted to you.
23 Che Epafula jwantawe pamo ni une kwa ligongo lya kwatumichila Kilisito Yesu akunkomasya.
Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, salutes thee,
24 Iyoyo che Maliko ni che Alisitako ni che Dema ni che Luka ŵakutumichila achinjangu akunkomasya.
and Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my co-workmen.
25 Umbone wa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito uŵe pamo ni ŵanyamwe wose.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit. Truly.
