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,
These things speak thou, and exhort, and inculcate, with all authority; and let no one despise thee.
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 a laborer with us, and to the church in thy house.
3 Tukunsachilanga umbone ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu, ni Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
Grace be with you, and peace from God our father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
4 Nlongo njangu che Filimoni, katema kose pangupopela, ngunkumbuchila mmwe, ni kwatogolela Akunnungu ŵangu,
I thank my God always, and remember thee in my prayers,
5 pakuŵa ngupilikana inkuti pakwakulupilila Ambuje Che Yesu ni inkuti pakwanonyela ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu.
lo, from the time that I heard of thy faith, and of the love thou hast towards our Lord Jesus, and towards 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 there may be a fellowship of thy faith, yielding fruits in works, and in the knowledge of all the good things ye possess in Jesus the Messiah.
7 Nlongo njangu, unonyelo wenu usengwasisye kwannope ni kulimbisya ntima. Pakuŵa njisengwasisye mitima ja ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu.
For we have great joy and consolation, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thy love.
8 Kwa ligongo lyo, naŵaga nlongo njenu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, ngakombwele kunnajisya pangali lipamba mpanganye chinkusachilwa kuchipanganya,
Therefore I might have great freedom In the Messiah, to enjoin upon thee the things that are right.
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.
But for love's sake, I earnestly beseech thee even I, Paul, who am aged, as thou knowest, and now also a prisoner for Jesus the Messiah.
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 son, whom I had begotten in my bonds for Onesimus;
11 Jwelejo kalakala nganakola masengo kukwenu, nambo sambano akwete masengo kukwenu ni kukwangu.
from whom formerly thou hadst no profit, but now very profitable will he be both to thee and to me; and whom I have sent to thee.
12 Sambano ngummusya kukwenu, namuno ngwanonyela kwannope.
And receive thou him, as one begotten by me.
13 Ngasachile atame none papapa kuti angamuchisye pamalo penu pandili jwantawe ligongo naliji nkulalichila Ngani Jambone.
For I was desirous to retain him with me, that he might minister to me in thy stead, in these bonds for the gospel.
14 Ngangusaka kunkanganichisya mungamuchisye, nambo ngusaka mpanganye inkuti pakusaka mwasyene. Kwayele ngangupanganya chachilichose mpaka pachinsache.
But I would do nothing without consulting thee; lest thy benefit should be as if by compulsion, and not with thy pleasure.
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)
And, perhaps, also, he therefore departed from thee for a season, that thou mightest retain him for ever; (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.
henceforth, not as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother dear to me, and much more to thee, both in the flesh and in our Lord?
17 Nipele, iŵaga nkuumona ndili jwamasengo njenu, mumpochele che Onesmo mpela inkatite pakuumbochela une nansyene.
If therefore thou art in fellowship with me, receive him as one of mine.
18 Iŵaga anneŵele chachili chose, pane akwete ligambo, chinanlipe.
And if he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee aught, place it 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, have written it with my own hand, I will repay: not to say to thee, that to me thou owest thy ownself.
20 Kwayele, nlongo njangu, ngunchondelela mungamuchisye kwa litala li kwa liwamba lya Ambuje, sambano nti nlongo njangu nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, muunonyelesye ntima wangu.
Yes, my brother, let me be refreshed by thee in our Lord: refresh thou my bowels in the Messiah.
21 Ngunnembela njimanyililaga kuti chimumbilikanile, sooni ngumanyilila isyene kuti chimumpanganyichisye yakupunda ni ingusala yi.
Being confident that thou wilt hearken to me, I have written to thee: and I know that thou wilt do 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.
And herewith, prepare also a house for me to lodge in; for I hope that, by your prayers, I shall be given to you.
23 Che Epafula jwantawe pamo ni une kwa ligongo lya kwatumichila Kilisito Yesu akunkomasya.
Epaphras, a fellow-captive with me in Jesus the Messiah, saluteth thee;
24 Iyoyo che Maliko ni che Alisitako ni che Dema ni che Luka ŵakutumichila achinjangu akunkomasya.
and Mark, and Aristarchus, and Demas, and Luke, my coadjutors.
25 Umbone wa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito uŵe pamo ni ŵanyamwe wose.
The grace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah be with your spirit, my brethren. Amen.
