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 Jesus Christ, and Timothy my brother, to Philemon my beloved, and our fellow-laborer,
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 our beloved Apphia, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church that is in your house:
3 Tukunsachilanga umbone ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu, ni Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
grace be to you all, 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 mention of you always in my prayers,
5 pakuŵa ngupilikana inkuti pakwakulupilila Ambuje Che Yesu ni inkuti pakwanonyela ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu.
hearing of your love and your faith, which you have in the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints,
6 Ngumpopelela kwa Akunnungu kuti mme ni machili ga kwasalila ŵandu ŵane chikulupi chenu, kuti akombole kumanyilila indu yambone itukwete uwe ŵatulumbikene ni Kilisito.
that your participation in the faith may be active in the acknowledgment of every good thing that is in us, to the honor of Christ Jesus.
7 Nlongo njangu, unonyelo wenu usengwasisye kwannope ni kulimbisya ntima. Pakuŵa njisengwasisye mitima ja ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu.
For we have great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.
8 Kwa ligongo lyo, naŵaga nlongo njenu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, ngakombwele kunnajisya pangali lipamba mpanganye chinkusachilwa kuchipanganya,
Wherefore, though I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do that which is becoming,
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.
yet, on account of my love, I rather exhort you, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner on account 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 you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds,
11 Jwelejo kalakala nganakola masengo kukwenu, nambo sambano akwete masengo kukwenu ni kukwangu.
who, for some time, has been unprofitable to you, but now is very profitable to you and to me:
12 Sambano ngummusya kukwenu, namuno ngwanonyela kwannope.
I send him back, and do you receive him, that is, my son.
13 Ngasachile atame none papapa kuti angamuchisye pamalo penu pandili jwantawe ligongo naliji nkulalichila Ngani Jambone.
I did wish to keep him with me, that, in your stead, he might serve me in my bonds for the gospel;
14 Ngangusaka kunkanganichisya mungamuchisye, nambo ngusaka mpanganye inkuti pakusaka mwasyene. Kwayele ngangupanganya chachilichose mpaka pachinsache.
but, without your consent, I was not willing to do any thing, that your good deed might not be as a matter of necessity, but one of free-will.
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)
Perhaps, indeed, lie departed for a short time for this reason, that you might receive him 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 servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, especially by me, and how much more by you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
17 Nipele, iŵaga nkuumona ndili jwamasengo njenu, mumpochele che Onesmo mpela inkatite pakuumbochela une nansyene.
If, then, you regard me as a partner, receive him as myself.
18 Iŵaga anneŵele chachili chose, pane akwete ligambo, chinanlipe.
But if he has done you any wrong, or owes you any thing, put that to my account.
19 Une che Paolo ngulemba kwa nkono wangu nansyene kuti chilipe. Ngangusachilwa kunkumbusya kuti nkwete magambo kukwangu lyalili umi wenu.
I, Paul, do write it with my own hand, I will repay it; that I may not say to you, that you owe to me even yourself besides.
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 joy of you in the Lord: refresh my heart in the Lord.
21 Ngunnembela njimanyililaga kuti chimumbilikanile, sooni ngumanyilila isyene kuti chimumpanganyichisye yakupunda ni ingusala yi.
Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.
22 Pamo ni yose yi, mumichile chile chuumba chakugona, pakuŵa ngulolela kuti Akunnungu chajanje mapopelo genu ni une chinechelelwe ni chinanjimajimile.
At the same time, also, prepare me a lodging: for I hope that through the prayers of you all, I may be given to you.
23 Che Epafula jwantawe pamo ni une kwa ligongo lya kwatumichila Kilisito Yesu akunkomasya.
Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, salutes you:
24 Iyoyo che Maliko ni che Alisitako ni che Dema ni che Luka ŵakutumichila achinjangu akunkomasya.
so also do Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow-laborers.
25 Umbone wa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito uŵe pamo ni ŵanyamwe wose.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits. Amen.
