Philemon 1
1 Paul, prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon the beloved and our fellow-workman,
khrii. s.tasya yii"so rbandidaasa. h paulastiithiyanaamaa bhraataa ca priya. m sahakaari. na. m philiimona. m
2 and to the sister Apphia and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the assembly which [is] in thine house.
priyaam aappiyaa. m sahasenaam aarkhippa. m philiimonasya g. rhe sthitaa. m samiti nca prati patra. m likhata. h|
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
asmaaka. m taata ii"svara. h prabhu ryii"sukhrii. s.ta"sca yu. smaan prati "saantim anugraha nca kriyaastaa. m|
4 I thank my God, always making mention of thee at my prayers,
prabhu. m yii"su. m prati sarvvaan pavitralokaan prati ca tava premavi"svaasayo rv. rttaanta. m ni"samyaaha. m
5 hearing of thy love and the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints,
praarthanaasamaye tava naamoccaarayan nirantara. m mame"svara. m dhanya. m vadaami|
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].
asmaasu yadyat saujanya. m vidyate tat sarvva. m khrii. s.ta. m yii"su. m yat prati bhavatiiti j naanaaya tava vi"svaasamuulikaa daana"siilataa yat saphalaa bhavet tadaham icchaami|
7 For we have great thankfulness and encouragement through thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
he bhraata. h, tvayaa pavitralokaanaa. m praa. na aapyaayitaa abhavan etasmaat tava premnaasmaaka. m mahaan aananda. h saantvanaa ca jaata. h|
8 Wherefore having much boldness in Christ to enjoin thee what is fitting,
tvayaa yat karttavya. m tat tvaam aaj naapayitu. m yadyapyaha. m khrii. s.tenaatiivotsuko bhaveya. m tathaapi v. rddha
9 for love's sake I rather exhort, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also prisoner of Jesus Christ.
idaanii. m yii"sukhrii. s.tasya bandidaasa"scaivambhuuto ya. h paula. h so. aha. m tvaa. m vinetu. m vara. m manye|
10 I exhort thee for my child, whom I have begotten in [my] bonds, Onesimus,
ata. h "s. r"nkhalabaddho. aha. m yamajanaya. m ta. m madiiyatanayam onii. simam adhi tvaa. m vinaye|
11 once unserviceable to thee, but now serviceable to thee and to me:
sa puurvva. m tavaanupakaaraka aasiit kintvidaanii. m tava mama copakaarii bhavati|
12 whom I have sent back to thee: [but do thou receive] him, that is, my bowels:
tamevaaha. m tava samiipa. m pre. sayaami, ato madiiyapraa. nasvaruupa. h sa tvayaanug. rhyataa. m|
13 whom I was desirous of keeping with myself, that for thee he might minister to me in the bonds of the glad tidings;
susa. mvaadasya k. rte "s. r"nkhalabaddho. aha. m paricaarakamiva ta. m svasannidhau varttayitum aiccha. m|
14 but I have wished to do nothing without thy mind, that thy good might not be as of necessity but of willingness:
kintu tava saujanya. m yad balena na bhuutvaa svecchaayaa. h phala. m bhavet tadartha. m tava sammati. m vinaa kimapi karttavya. m naamanye|
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)
ko jaanaati k. sa. nakaalaartha. m tvattastasya vicchedo. abhavad etasyaayam abhipraayo yat tvam anantakaalaartha. m ta. m lapsyase (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?
puna rdaasamiva lapsyase tannahi kintu daasaat "sre. s.tha. m mama priya. m tava ca "saariirikasambandhaat prabhusambandhaacca tato. adhika. m priya. m bhraataramiva|
17 If therefore thou holdest me to be a partner [with thee], receive him as me;
ato heto ryadi maa. m sahabhaagina. m jaanaasi tarhi maamiva tamanug. rhaa. na|
18 but if he have wronged thee anything or owe anything [to thee], put this to my account.
tena yadi tava kimapyaparaaddha. m tubhya. m kimapi dhaaryyate vaa tarhi tat mameti viditvaa ga. naya|
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.
aha. m tat pari"sotsyaami, etat paulo. aha. m svahastena likhaami, yatastva. m svapraa. naan api mahya. m dhaarayasi tad vaktu. m necchaami|
20 Yea, brother, I would have profit of thee in [the] Lord: refresh my bowels in Christ.
bho bhraata. h, prabho. h k. rte mama vaa nchaa. m puuraya khrii. s.tasya k. rte mama praa. naan aapyaayaya|
21 Being confident of thine obedience, I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say.
tavaaj naagraahitve vi"svasya mayaa etat likhyate mayaa yaducyate tato. adhika. m tvayaa kaari. syata iti jaanaami|
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that I shall be granted to you through your prayers.
tatkara. nasamaye madarthamapi vaasag. rha. m tvayaa sajjiikriyataa. m yato yu. smaaka. m praarthanaanaa. m phalaruupo vara ivaaha. m yu. smabhya. m daayi. sye mameti pratyaa"saa jaayate|
23 Epaphras salutes thee, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;
khrii. s.tasya yii"saa. h k. rte mayaa saha bandiripaaphraa
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workmen.
mama sahakaari. no maarka aari. s.taarkho diimaa luuka"sca tvaa. m namaskaara. m vedayanti|
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit.
asmaaka. m prabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasyaanugraho yu. smaakam aatmanaa saha bhuuyaat| aamen|
