Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker,
Pauli, mfungwa ghwa Kristu Yesu ndo ndongo Timoti ghwa Filemoni, ndongobhitu n'ganwa ndo mmbomba mahengu pamonga ni tete,
2 to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets at your house:
ni kwa Afia nd'hombo bhitu, ni kwa Arkipas asikari njitu, na mulikanisa lela alibhonana munyumba ya y'obhi.
3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Neema iyelayi kway'homo ni amani iyo'homelahi kwa K'yara Dadi ijhitu ni kwa Bwana bhitu Yesu Kiristu.
4 I always thank my God, remembering you in my prayers,
Muda bhuoha nikambombeysa K'yara. Nikutaja mu bhus'omelu bhuangu.
5 because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.
Nipeliki uganifu ni imani ya uyenayu mwa Bwana Yesu ndo kwa ndabha ya bhaumini bhoha.
6 I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ.
Nis'oma kuya kwa ushirika hwa imani ya muenga iyelahi ni ufanisi mu ujuzi bhwa kila lihengu linofu la liyele mugati mwa tete mu Kiristu.
7 I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.
Kwandahba niyelena nihobhuiki ni fanja kwa ndabha ya uganu bhwa yhobhi, kwa ndabha mit'eema ghiya bhaumini yitulisibhwa nabhi, ndongo.
8 So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper,
H'enu, ndabha njele ni lukakara bhuoha mu Kiristu nikulasimisya bhebhe kuk'heta k'hela kyawibhuwesya kuk'heta,
9 I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.
lakini kwa ndabha ya luganu, badala yiake nikujobhela - nene, Pauli ne n'see na henu nifungibhu kwa ndabha jha Kristu Yesu.
10 I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.
Nikus'homa kwa ndabha jha mwanabhangu Onesmo, yanin'hoguili mu fifungu fya nene.
11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.
Kwa ndabha muandi akakufwayi lepi lakini henu ikufwayi bhebhe ni nene.
12 I am sending back to you him who is my very heart.
Nintumili- muene ndo wa mu nt'eema bhuangu - kuk'herebhuka kwa bhebhe.
13 I would have liked to keep him with me, so that on your behalf he could minister to me in my chains for the gospel.
Nitarajileghe uyendelelayi kubakila pamonga ni nene, ndo anitumikilayi badala j'ha bhebhe, wakati bhwa yobhi kufungibhwa kwa ndabha j'ha injili.
14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion, but by your own free will.
Lakini nilondelepi kubhomba lijambo lyolyoha bila ruhusa jha jhobhi. Nabhombi naha ili kwamba lijambo lyolyoha linofu lisibhombeki kwa ndabha nakulasimisi, bali kwa ndabha uganili ghwa muene kukheta.
15 For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good— (aiōnios g166)
Labda kwa kujha ghwatengibhu nabhi kwa muda, jhajhele naha ili ujhiaghe pamonga ni muene milele. (aiōnios g166)
16 no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a beloved brother. He is especially beloved to me, but even more so to you, both in person and in the Lord.
Ili kwamba usijhi naku kabhele n'tumwa, bali mbanga jha n'tumwa, kama ndongobhu mpendwa, hasa kwa nene, nesu kwa bhebhe mu mb'ele ni kwa Bwana.
17 So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
Ni kama bhanitolili nene ne mshirika unjamb'elayi kama kya unijhambelili nene.
18 But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.
Lakini kama akukosili khenu kyokyoha khela, au ukan'dai khenu kyokoha khela, kidayayi ekhu kuhomela kwa nene.
19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self.
Nene Paulo, nijhandika kwa kibhoko kyangu ne muene: nene nibetakulepa. Nijobhalepi kwa bhebhe kujha nikudai maisha gha jhobhi nesu.
20 Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
Naam ndongo, lekayi nikabhayi furaha jha Bwana kuhoma kwa bhebhe: uhobhosiajhi muoyo ghwa nene mu Kristu.
21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.
Nikajhelayi ni imani kuhusu utii bhwa bhebhe, nikujhandikila nimanyili kujha wibetakubhomba hata zaidi jha fela fyanikus'oka.
22 In the meantime, prepare a guest room for me, because I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
Bhwakati bhobhuobhu jhandalayi kichumba kya bhahesiya kwandabha jha nene, kwa kujha nitumaini kup'etela maombi gha bhebhe nibetakugendela karibuni naha.
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings,
Epafra, mfungwa njangu mu Kristu Yesu ikuponesya,
24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
ni kama kyaibhomba Marko, Aristarko, Dema, Luka, bhabhomba mbombo pamonga ni nene.
25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Neema jha Bwana Yesu Kristu ijhelayi pamonga ni roho jha bhebhe. Amina.
