Philemon 1
1 Paul, prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon the beloved and our fellow-workman,
Paoly, mpifatotra an’ i Kristy Jesosy, ary Timoty rahalahy, mamangy an’ i Filemona, izay malalanay sy mpiara-miasa aminay,
2 and to the sister Apphia and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the assembly which [is] in thine house.
ary mamangy an’ i Apia anabavinay sy Arkipo, miaramila namantsika, ary ny fiangonana ao an-tranonao:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.
4 I thank my God, always making mention of thee at my prayers,
Misaotra an’ Andriamanitro mandrakariva aho, raha mahatsiaro anao amin’ ny fivavahako,
5 hearing of thy love and the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints,
satria reko ny fitiavanao sy ny finoana izay anananao ho an’ i Jesosy Tompo sy ho an’ ny olona masìna rehetra,
6 in such sort that thy participation in the faith should become operative in the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in us towards Christ [Jesus].
mba hiasa mafy ho an’ i Kristy ny fiombonana avy amin’ ny finoanao amin’ ny fahalalana tsara ny zavatra rehetra izay ao anatinareo.
7 For we have great thankfulness and encouragement through thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
Fa nanana fifaliana sy fiononana amin’ ny fitiavanao aho, satria efa novelombelominao ny fon’ ny olona masìna, ry rahalahy.
8 Wherefore having much boldness in Christ to enjoin thee what is fitting,
Koa na dia manana fahasahiana be ao amin’ i Kristy handidy anao amin’ izay mendrika aza aho,
9 for love's sake I rather exhort, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also prisoner of Jesus Christ.
nefa noho ny fitiavana, izaho Paoly, izay efa anti-panahy sady mpifatotra an’ i Kristy Jesosy koa ankehitriny, dia miangavy aminao.
10 I exhort thee for my child, whom I have begotten in [my] bonds, Onesimus,
Eny, miangavy aminao aho ny amin’ ny zanako, izay naterako teto amin’ ny fifatorako, dia Onesimosy,
11 once unserviceable to thee, but now serviceable to thee and to me:
ilay tsy nahasoa anao fahiny, nefa ankehitriny mahasoa antsika, dia ianao sy izaho;
12 whom I have sent back to thee: [but do thou receive] him, that is, my bowels:
izay nampodiko indray, dia ilay sombin’ ny aiko;
13 whom I was desirous of keeping with myself, that for thee he might minister to me in the bonds of the glad tidings;
saiky nohazoniko tatỳ amiko izy hanompo ahy hisolo anao eto amin’ ny fifatorako noho ny filazantsara;
14 but I have wished to do nothing without thy mind, that thy good might not be as of necessity but of willingness:
nefa raha tsy nahalala izay hevitrao aho aloha, dia tsy ta-hanao na inona na inona, mba tsy ho toy ny amin’ ny fanerena ny soa ataonao, fa amin’ ny sitrapo.
15 for perhaps for this reason he has been separated [from thee] for a time, that thou mightest possess him fully for ever; (aiōnios g166)
Fa izany angaha no nialany vetivety, dia ny mba hanananao azy mandrakizay, (aiōnios g166)
16 not any longer as a bondman, but above a bondman, a beloved brother, specially to me, and how much rather to thee, both in [the] flesh and in [the] Lord?
tsy toy ny andevo intsony anefa, fa efa mihoatra noho ny andevo, dia rahalahy malala, indrindra fa ho ahy, mainka fa ho anao, na amin’ ny nofo, na amin’ ny Tompo.
17 If therefore thou holdest me to be a partner [with thee], receive him as me;
Koa raha ataonao ho namanao aho, dia raiso toa ahy izy.
18 but if he have wronged thee anything or owe anything [to thee], put this to my account.
Nefa raha nanao izay tsy marina taminao izy, na mitrosa, dia ataovy ho ahy izany;
19 I Paul have written [it] with mine own hand; I will repay [it]: that I say not to thee that thou owest even thine own self also to me.
izaho Paoly no manoratra izany amin’ ny tanako, izaho no handoa izany ― nefa tsy lazaiko aminao fa mitrosa ny tenanao amiko aza ianao.
20 Yea, brother, I would have profit of thee in [the] Lord: refresh my bowels in Christ.
Eny, ry rahalahy, aoka hanana fifaliana avy aminao ao amin’ ny Tompo aho; velombelomy ny foko ao amin’ i Kristy.
21 Being confident of thine obedience, I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say.
Noho ny fahatokiako fa hanaiky ianao no anoratako aminao, ka fantatro fa hanao mihoatra noho izay lazaiko aza ianao.
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that I shall be granted to you through your prayers.
Ary izao koa: Mba anamboary trano hitoerako aho; fa manantena aho fa homena anareo noho ny vavaka ataonareo.
23 Epaphras salutes thee, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;
Manao veloma anao Epafra, mpifatotra namako ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy,
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workmen.
sy Marka sy Aristarko sy Demasy ary Lioka, mpiara-miasa amiko.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit.
Ho amin’ ny fanahinareo anie ny fahasoavan’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika. Amena.
