Filemonovi 1
1 Pavel, vězeň Krista Ježíše, a Timoteus bratr, Filemonovi milému, a pomocníku našemu,
[I], Paul, am a prisoner [who serves] Christ Jesus. [I am here] with Timothy, our fellow believer. [I am writing this letter] to [you], Philemon, our dear [friend] and fellow worker.
2 A Apfie sestře milé, a Archippovi spolurytíři našemu, i vší církvi, kteráž jest v domě tvém:
[I am also writing] to [your wife], Apphia, and to Archippus, [who is like] [MET] our fellow soldier [because he serves Christ steadfastly together with us]. I am also [writing this] to the congregation [that meets/gathers] in your [(sg)] house.
3 Milost vám a pokoj od Boha Otce našeho a Pána Jezukrista.
[I pray that] God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ [will continue to] act kindly toward you all and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.
4 Díky činím Bohu svému, vždycky zmínku o tobě čině na svých modlitbách,
I always thank my God when I pray for you [(sg)], because I hear [people say that] you love all God’s people [CHI]
5 Slyše o lásce tvé a víře, kterouž máš ku Pánu Ježíšovi, i ke všechněm svatým,
and that you continue to trust in the Lord Jesus.
6 Aby společnost víry tvé mocná byla a tudy poznáno býti mohlo, cožkoli dobrého jest v vás skrze Krista Ježíše.
I pray that as a result of your knowing all the good things [that God/Christ has done for] us, you may (be effective/influence many others) as you tell others what you believe, in order that [they may honor] Christ.
7 Radost zajisté máme velikou, a potěšení z lásky tvé, že srdce svatých občerstvena jsou skrze tebe, bratře.
I have rejoiced greatly and have been greatly encouraged because you, my dear friend, have acted lovingly toward God’s people by encouraging them [SYN].
8 Protož ačkoli mnohou smělost mám v Kristu rozkázati tobě, což by náleželo,
So [I have a request/favor to ask of you]. I am completely confident [that I have authority] to command you [to do] what you ought to do, because [I am an apostle of] Christ.
9 Však pro lásku raději tebe prosím, jsa již takový, totiž Pavel starý, a nyní i vězeň Ježíše Krista.
But because [I know that you] love [God’s people], I request this instead of [commanding you to do it]. It is I, Paul, an old man and now also a prisoner [because I serve] Christ Jesus, [who am requesting it].
10 Prosímť pak tebe za syna svého, kteréhož jsem zplodil v vězení svém, Onezima,
I request that you [do something] for someone [who has become like] my own son [because I told him about Christ] [MET] while [I have been] a prisoner [MTY] [here. His name is] Onesimus.
11 Kterýž byl někdy tobě neužitečný, ale nyní tobě i mně velmi užitečný, jehožť jsem odeslal.
Although [his name, as you know, means ‘useful’], formerly he was useless to you. But now he is useful both to you and to me!
12 Protož ty jej, (totiž srdce mé, ) přijmi.
Although (he is [as dear to me as/I love him as much as I love]) [MET] my own self [MTY], I am sending him back to you.
13 Kteréhožto já chtěl jsem byl při sobě zanechati, aby mi posluhoval místo tebe v vězení, kteréž trpím pro evangelium;
I would like to have kept him with me, in order that he might serve me on your behalf, while I am a prisoner [MTY] [because of my preaching] the message [about Christ].
14 Ale bez vědomí tvého nechtěl jsem nic učiniti, aby dobrý skutek tvůj nebyl jako bezděky, ale z dobré vůle.
Nevertheless, because [I had not yet asked you and] you had not yet permitted me [to keep him here with me], I decided not to [keep him here. I decided that I should] not do anything without your permitting it. [I decided that you should help me only if you] really want to help me.
Perhaps the reason that [God permitted] Onesimus to be separated from {to leave} you for a little while was that [he would believe in Christ, and as a result] you would have him (back/with you) forever! (aiōnios g166)
16 Již ne jako služebníka, ale více než služebníka, totiž bratra milého, zvláště mně, a čím víc tobě, i podle těla, i v Pánu.
[You will no longer have him only] as a slave. Instead, [you will have him] as [someone who is] more than a slave. [You will have him] as a fellow believer! He is especially dear to me, but he certainly will be more dear to you [than he is to me] (OR, I love him very much, but you will certainly love him more than I do), [because now he] not only belongs to you but he also belongs to the Lord.
17 Protož máš-li mne za tovaryše, přijmiž jej, jako mne.
So, if you consider me to be your partner [in God’s work], receive him as you would receive me.
18 Jestližeť pak v čem ublížil, anebo jest-liť co dlužen, to mně přičti.
If he has wronged you in any manner or if he owes you anything, (charge that to me/tell me so that I can pay you).
19 Já Pavel psal jsem svou rukou, jáť zaplatím; ať nedím tobě, že ty i sám sebe jsi mi dlužen.
I, Paul, am now writing this in my own handwriting: I will repay you what he owes you, although I might mention to you that you owe me even more than Onesimus may owe you, because it was the result of my telling you about Christ that God saved you.
20 Tak, bratře, ať já uživu tebe v Pánu; očerstviž srdce mé v Pánu.
(Yes/I say it again), my dear friend, because you and I both have a relationship with the Lord, I want you to do this for me. Encourage me [SYN] [by receiving Onesimus kindly, just like you encourage others who believe] in Christ.
21 Jist jsa tvým poslušenstvím, tak jsem tobě napsal, věda, že i více, nežli pravím, učiníš.
I have written [this letter] to you, confident that you will do what I am requesting you to [do]. [In fact], I know that you will do even more than what I am requesting [you to do].
22 A mezi tím připraviž mi také hospodu; neboť naději mám, že k modlitbám vašim budu vám navrácen.
Also, keep a guest room ready for me [to stay in], because I confidently expect that as a result of your prayers [for me, I] will be released [from prison and will come] to you all.
23 Pozdravují tě Epafras, (spoluvězeň můj pro Krista Ježíše, )
Epaphras, who is [suffering] with me in prison because of [his serving] Christ Jesus, (sends his greetings to you/wants you to know that he is thinking fondly about you).
24 Marek, Aristarchus, Démas a Lukáš, pomocníci moji.
Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, who are my [other] fellow workers, also (send their greetings to you/want you to know that they are thinking fondly about you).
25 Milost Pána našeho Jezukrista budiž s duchem vaším. Amen. List tento k Filemonovi psán byl z Říma po Onezimovi služebníku.
[I pray that] the Lord Jesus Christ [will] ([continue to] work kindly in all your lives/kindly keep accomplishing what he desires within you).
