Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy my brother, to Philemon my beloved, and our fellow-laborer,
Kai Pawl, Khrih Jisuh e thongim ka bawt lah kaawm e, hoi maimae hmaunawngha Timote ni, lungpataw awh e thaw tawk hui Filemon,
2 and to our beloved Apphia, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church that is in your house:
Lung pataw awh e tawncanu Apphia, ransa hui Archippus, hoi nama im kaawm e kawhmoun nangmouh koe ca na patawn awh.
3 grace be to you all, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Maimae Pa Cathut hoi Bawipa Jisuh Khrih koehoi a lungmanae hoi lungmawngnae teh nangmouh koe awm yungyoe seh.
4 I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers,
Nang ni Jisuh Khrih na yuem teh tami kathoungnaw lung na pataw tie ka thai nah,
5 hearing of your love and your faith, which you have in the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints,
Cathut lungpatawnae hah ka pholen teh nang hanelah ouk ka ratoum.
6 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.
Khrih Jisuh thung tawn e hno pueng na panue thai nahanlah yuemnae dawk na kâroe nahanlah ouk ka ratoum.
7 For we have great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.
Ka nawngha, nang ni tami kathoungnaw e a lungthin na roum sak dawkvah, nange lungpatawnae dawk ka lung ahawi awh.
8 Wherefore, though I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do that which is becoming,
Hatdawkvah, na sak kawinaw hah na sak thai nahanlah Khrih thung taranhawinae lahoi nang teh kâ na poe.
9 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.
A kum kacue e kai Pawl ni, Jisuh Khrih hanlah thongim ka bo nah patenghai yah, lungpatawnae lahoi doeh ka dei.
10 I beseech you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds,
Kateknae ka khang lahun nah, ka ca Onesimus hanelah lawk na thui.
11 who, for some time, has been unprofitable to you, but now is very profitable to you and to me:
Yampa teh nang hanelah hno kamcu hoeh e lah ao ei, atu teh nang hoi kai hanelah, hno kamcu e lah ao toe.
12 I send him back, and do you receive him, that is, my son.
Ahni hah nang koe let ka patoun dawkvah, ka ca rayin patetlah pouk lah a.
13 I did wish to keep him with me, that, in your stead, he might serve me in my bonds for the gospel;
Kamthang kahawi kecu dawk, kateknae ka khang navah na ka khenyawn hanelah, nang na yueng ta hanelah ka ngai ei,
14 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.
Kai dawk hawinae na sak navah, ngangngang saksak e lah awm laipalah, lungtho nalaihoi saksak e lah ao nahan, nang ni na pasoung laipalah banghai sak hane ka ngai hoeh.
15 Perhaps, indeed, lie departed for a short time for this reason, that you might receive him forever; (aiōnios g166)
Hothloilah, nang ni ahni hah pou na tawn nahanlah, nang hoi dongdeng kampek e lah ao ti hanelah ao. (aiōnios g166)
16 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.
Hottelah ti navah, san patetlah nahoeh, alawkpui lah ka lungpataw e ka nawngha lah ao. Nang koe natawng teh takthai koe lahai, Bawipa dawk hai, banghloimaw hoe ao han ka tinae doeh.
17 If, then, you regard me as a partner, receive him as myself.
Hatdawkvah kai hah na hui lah na pouk pawiteh, ahni hah kai patetlah pouk van lah a.
18 But if he has done you any wrong, or owes you any thing, put that to my account.
Ahni ni nang koe a payon e, lai a ba e awm pawiteh kai hanelah ma hrueng lawih a.
19 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.
Ka patho pouh han ti teh kai Pawl ni ka kut hoi ca lah ka thut. Hatei, nama roeroe hah kai koe na patho hane ao ka ti ngainae na hoeh.
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: refresh my heart in the Lord.
Ka nawngha, Bawipa dawk kai koe hawinae sak haw. Khrih dawkvah ka lung roum sak haw.
21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.
Na tarawi han doeh titeh lunghringnae ka tawn hoeh. Ka dei e hlak acawilah na sak han doeh titeh panue nalaihoi ca ka thut e doeh.
22 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.
Hothloilah, ka luen nahane im hai sut la pathoup lah a. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh ni na ratoum awh e lahoi, nangmouh na o awhnae koe pha thainae kâ na poe han doeh ti teh ngaihawinae ka tawn.
23 Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, salutes you:
Khrih Jisuh thung kai hoi thongim rei ka bawt roi e Epaphras,
24 so also do Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow-laborers.
thaw ka tawk hui lah kaawm e Mark, Aristarkas, Demas, Luk tinaw ni kut na man awh.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits. Amen.
Maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e a lungmanae teh nangmae lungthin muitha hoi cungtalah awm lawiseh. Amen.
