Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear helper in the faith,
Khritaw Jesuha phäh thawng üng kyumki Pawluh ja mi bena Timoti üngkhyüh — Kami nglawipüi ja khut kami bi püi Philimon ja
2 And to Apphia, our sister, and to Archippus, our brother in God's army, and to the church in your house:
na ima ngkhämkia sangcim ja mi ci Apphia ja ngtuk mi pawh püi Akhipaha veia ni:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mi Pa Pamhnam ja Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw naw bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak ning pe se.
4 I give praise to God at all times and make prayer for you,
Ka na Philimon naw ka ktaiyüa kcün naküt üng nang ning süm lü Pamhnam veia jenak ka mthehki.
5 Hearing of the love and the faith which you have to the Lord Jesus and to all the saints;
Pamhnama khyange na jah mhläkphyanak ja Bawi Jesuh üng na taka jumnak ka ngjaka phäh ni.
6 That the faith which you have in common with them may be working with power, in the knowledge of every good thing in you, for Christ.
Ka ktaiyünak ta mi ngkhawteinak üng jumeikia mi kya akba, Khritaw am mi yümmatnak üng vekia dawkyanak naküt cun akdaw mi ksingnak däm däm vaia kyaki.
7 For I had great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been made strong again through you, brother.
Ka na aw, na mhläkphyanak naw na jekyaisak lü ngjuktha na pe ve! Nang naw Pamhnama khyangea mlung jah suhne veki.
8 And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,
Ahina phäha Khritaw üng ka ning na akba kei naw yet lü i pawh vai ti hin ngthu ning mtheh veng.
9 Still, because of love, in place of an order, I make a request to you, I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner of Christ Jesus:
Isetiakyaküng ning kphya na lü ka ning nghuinak ni. Khritaw Jesuha ngsä, ania phäha tuha kcün üng thawng kyum kei Pawluh naw ka pawh ni.
10 My request is for my child Onesimus, the child of my chains,
Khritaw üng ka ca, thawng üng ka kyum k'um üng ngmüimkhya lama a na pa naw Onesimasa kcaha ning nghui na veng.
11 Who in the past was of no profit to you, but now is of profit to you and to me:
Ahlana ani cun ia am ngtäh lüpi atuha nang ja keia phäh ani cun summang vai kya ve.
12 Whom I have sent back to you, him who is my very heart:
Ani am ka mlung ngpüi law lü na veia ka tüih law be ni.
13 Though my desire was to keep him with me, to be my servant in the chains of the good news, in your place:
Thangkdawa phäh thawng üng ka kyum üng nanga kcaha na kuei khaia ka hlawnga a ve vai ka täng kyaw.
14 But without your approval I would do nothing; so that your good works might not be forced, but done freely from your heart.
Acunsepi, na na kuei vaia käh ka ning sihling na khai, acuna kthaka na titänga na bilawh vai ni ka täng ve. Nang naw am ä xaki lü i pi am pawh veng.
15 For it is possible that for this reason he was parted from you for a time, so that you might have him for ever; (aiōnios g166)
Onesimas cun nang üngkhyüh asäng thuk lü a ve hin na hlawnga akcün tä a ve vaia phäh ni. (aiōnios g166)
16 No longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother, very dear to me specially, but much more to you, in the flesh as well as in the Lord.
Atuha mpya sawxata am kya lü mpyaa kthak dawki Khritaw üng na mhlänaka na naa kyaki ni. Ani cun keia phäh aktäa daw ve! Nanga phäh pi aktäa daw khai ni. Ani cun mpya ja Bawipa üng na na akba salü daw bawk khai ni!
17 If then you take me to be your friend and brother, take him in as myself.
Acunakyase, na na püia na ngaih üngta, kei na na dokhama mäiha ani pi dokham bea.
18 If he has done you any wrong or is in debt to you for anything, put it to my account.
Ani naw a ning thung vai am ani üng a ning mkhyenak üngpi ka ning thung vai ta kawm pi.
19 I, Paul, writing this myself, say, I will make payment to you: and I do not say to you that you are in debt to me even for your life.
Kei Pawluh naw ka ning thungkhih khai ti lü ka kut ye am ka yuk law ni: (na sak phäh na je na bä ka ning mtheh vai am hlü khai ni.)
20 So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.
Acunakyase, ka na aw, Khritaw üng na bea kba na jesak lü Bawipa phäha ka hmai bük lü ahin hin keia khana pawha.
21 Being certain that you will do my desire, I am writing to you, in the knowledge that you will do even more than I say.
Ahin ka yuk lawa kba na pawh khaia ka ksingki, ahina kthaka pi na pawh khai tia ka ksingki ni.
22 And make a room ready for me; for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be given to you.
Acuna thea, keia phäh akhan na tak pet bä, isetiakyaküng, Pamhnam naw nami vana ktaiyünak ning jah msak lü na veia ka lawnak vai na pe khai tia ka äpeiki ni.
23 Epaphras, my brother-prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you his love;
Jesuh Khritawa phäh thawng üng ka kyum püi Epapharah naw ning jah hnukset ve,
24 And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my brother-workers.
khut ka bipüie Makuh, Aristakhas, Demah ja Luhka naw pi ning hnukset ve u.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. So be it.
Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa bäkhäknak nami vana khana ve se.
