Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon our beloved and co-workman,
Ri Pablo, tzꞌapil pa cheꞌ rumal ri Cristo Jesús, xuqujeꞌ ri alaxik Timoteo, che ri loqꞌalaj Filemón, toꞌl qe,
2 and to the beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the congregation at thy house:
xuqujeꞌ che ri alaxik Apia, ri alaxik Arquipo, e qachiꞌl pa ri chꞌoꞌj, xuqujeꞌ ri komontyox ri kakimulij kibꞌ cho awachoch:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Toqꞌobꞌ, jaꞌmaril rech ri qaDios Tataxel xuqujeꞌ rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo chiꞌwe.
4 I thank my God, making recollection of thee always in my prayers,
Kintyoxin che ri Dios, amaqꞌel katnaꞌtaj chwe pa ri nuchꞌawem.
5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the sanctified,
Rumal cher nutom ri aloqꞌanik xuqujeꞌ ri akojobꞌal ri kꞌo che ri Ajawxel Jesús, xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ konojel ri tyoxalaj taq winaq.
6 so that the fellowship of thy faith may become potent (in the knowledge of every good thing in us) for Christ Jesus.
Kinta che ri Dios chi ri riqoj ibꞌ ri kakꞌiy pa ri akojobꞌal, qas kꞌo kutayij pa Cristo, rumal rech ri etaꞌmanik rech ri utzilal, ri qetaꞌmam junam awukꞌ.
7 For we have much joy and encouragement in thy love, because the bowels of the sanctified have been refreshed by thee, brother.
Rumal cher kꞌo qakiꞌkotemal xuqujeꞌ kuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx pa ri aloqꞌanik, rumal cher ri tyoxalaj taq winaq xkikꞌamawaꞌj kichuqꞌabꞌ rumal awe.
8 Therefore, though I have much boldness in Christ to command thee that which is befitting,
Rumal riꞌ, pune pa Cristo kinkwinik kintaqan paꞌwiꞌ, rech kabꞌan ri rajawaxik kabꞌano,
9 because of love I rather beseech, being such as aged Paul, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
xa kinta toqꞌobꞌ chawe pa ri loqꞌanik. In in Pablo, in nima winaq chik, xuqujeꞌ in tzꞌapital pa cheꞌ rumal rech ri Cristo Jesús,
10 I beseech thee for my child Onesimus, whom I begot in my bonds.
kinta chawe puꞌwiꞌ ri nukꞌojol Onésimo, ri xux nukꞌojol are in tzꞌapital pa cheꞌ.
11 A man formerly unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me, whom I sent back.
Ojer maj kutayij waꞌ chawe, kamik kꞌut kꞌo kutayij chawe at xuqujeꞌ chwe in.
12 And thou should welcome him, that is, my bowels.
Kintaq bꞌik rech katzalij awukꞌ, chakꞌamawaꞌj kꞌut, je ta ne tzi in kinopan awukꞌ.
13 Whom I wanted to keep back for myself, so that in thy behalf he might serve me in the bonds of the good news.
Are ta ne kawaj in kakanaj wukꞌ che akꞌaxel rech kinupatanij pa we cheꞌ ri in tzꞌapital wi rumal re ri utz laj tzij.
14 But I wanted to do nothing without thy mind, so that thy goodness might not be as from obligation, but from volition.
Man xwaj ta kꞌut xinbꞌan jun jastaq ri man awetaꞌm taj, rech man kabꞌantaj rumal cher in kinbꞌinik xane are ri qas kape pa awanimaꞌ.
15 For perhaps because of this he departed for an hour, so that thou might receive him back forever, (aiōnios g166)
Wine rumal waꞌ xel loq awukꞌ najtir, rech kamik kakꞌamawaꞌj amaqꞌel. (aiōnios g166)
16 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.
Man kakꞌamawaꞌj taj jacha jun patanil awe, xane chakꞌamawaꞌj jeꞌ jas jun loqꞌalaj alaxik, sibꞌalaj nim ubꞌanik chinuwach in, nim ubꞌanik chawach at rumal cher jun winaq xuqujeꞌ jun alaxik pa ri Ajawxel.
17 If then thou have me a partner, accept him as myself.
Xaq jeriꞌ, we in awachiꞌl, chakꞌamawaꞌj tzi jacha ta ne ri in.
18 But if he has wronged thee, or owes anything, charge this to me.
We ubꞌanom jun kꞌax chawe o kꞌo ukꞌas awukꞌ, chaya pa ri nukwenta.
19 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.
In in Pablo, rukꞌ ri nuqꞌabꞌ kintzꞌibꞌaj: Kintoj na chawe, naꞌtaj chawe chi kꞌo akꞌas wukꞌ che ri katux kamik.
20 Yes, brother, let me have a favor of thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.
Jeꞌ wachalal, chikinkꞌamawaꞌj jun toqꞌobꞌ chawe at. Chaya uchuqꞌabꞌ ri wanimaꞌ pa Cristo.
21 Being confident in thine obedience I wrote to thee, knowing that thou will do above what I say.
Xintzꞌibꞌaj bꞌi waꞌ chawe, kuꞌl na kꞌuꞌx chi katnimanik, xuqujeꞌ wetaꞌm chi kꞌo na ri kabꞌano choch ri kinta chawe.
22 But simultaneously also prepare a lodging for me, for I hope that by your prayers I will be granted to you.
Xuqujeꞌ chasukꞌumaj apanoq ri ja ri kineꞌkꞌol wi, rumal cher kuꞌl na kꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios kinopan chi na iwukꞌ, rumal ri ichꞌawem.
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, salutes thee,
Kakitaq rutzil awach ri Epafras, wachiꞌl pa Cristo Jesús, uj kꞌo pa cheꞌ,
24 and Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my co-workmen.
xuqujeꞌ ri Marcos, ri Aristarco, ri Demas, ri Lucas, e toꞌl taq we.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with your spirit. Truly.
Are ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, kakanaj kan pa awanimaꞌ. Jeriꞌ.
