Philemon 1
1 Paul, prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon the beloved and our fellow-workman,
Bulus, ɗan kurkuku saboda Kiristi Yesu, da kuma Timoti ɗan’uwanmu, Zuwa ga Filemon ƙaunataccen abokinmu da kuma abokin aikinmu,
2 and to the sister Apphia and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the assembly which [is] in thine house.
zuwa kuma ga Affiya’yar’uwarmu, zuwa kuma ga Arkiffus abokin famarmu, da zuwa kuma ga ikkilisiyar da take taruwa a gidanka.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Alheri da salama daga Allah Ubanmu da kuma Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi, su kasance tare da ku.
4 I thank my God, always making mention of thee at my prayers,
Kullum nakan gode wa Allahna sa’ad da nake tuna da kai cikin addu’o’ina,
5 hearing of thy love and the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints,
domin ina jin labari bangaskiyarka cikin Ubangiji Yesu da kuma ƙaunarka da kake yi saboda dukan tsarkaka.
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].
Ina addu’a ka zama mai ƙwazo cikin shaida bangaskiyarka, domin ka sami cikakken fahimta ta kowane abin da yake nagarin da muke da shi cikin Kiristi.
7 For we have great thankfulness and encouragement through thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
Ƙaunarka ta sa ni farin ciki ƙwarai ta kuma ƙarfafa ni, domin kai, ɗan’uwa, ka wartsake zukatan tsarkaka.
8 Wherefore having much boldness in Christ to enjoin thee what is fitting,
Saboda haka, ko da yake cikin Kiristi ina iya yin ƙarfin hali in umarce ka ka yi abin da ya kamata,
9 for love's sake I rather exhort, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also prisoner of Jesus Christ.
duk da haka ina roƙonka saboda ƙauna, na fi so in roƙe ka, ni Bulus tsoho, a yanzu kuma ga ni ɗan sarƙa saboda Kiristi Yesu.
10 I exhort thee for my child, whom I have begotten in [my] bonds, Onesimus,
Ina roƙonka saboda ɗana Onesimus, wanda ya zama ɗana yayinda nake cikin sarƙoƙi.
11 once unserviceable to thee, but now serviceable to thee and to me:
Dā kam, ba shi da amfani a gare ka, amma yanzu ya zama da amfani a gare ka da kuma gare ni.
12 whom I have sent back to thee: [but do thou receive] him, that is, my bowels:
Ina aike shi yă koma gare ka, shi da yake zuciyata.
13 whom I was desirous of keeping with myself, that for thee he might minister to me in the bonds of the glad tidings;
Na so in riƙe shi a wurina a madadinka domin yă taimake ni yayinda nake cikin sarƙoƙi saboda bishara.
14 but I have wished to do nothing without thy mind, that thy good might not be as of necessity but of willingness:
Sai dai ban so in yi kome ban da yardarka ba, domin kowane alherin da za ka yi, yă fito daga zuciyarka, ba na tilas ba.
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)
Wataƙila abin da ya sa aka raba ka da shi na ɗan lokaci ƙanƙani shi ne don ka same shi da amfani (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?
ba kamar bawa kuma ba, sai dai fiye da bawa, a matsayin ƙaunataccen ɗan’uwa. Shi ƙaunatacce ne sosai a gare ni amma a gare ka ya ma fi zama ƙaunatacce, kamar mutum da kuma kamar ɗan’uwa a cikin Ubangiji.
17 If therefore thou holdest me to be a partner [with thee], receive him as me;
Saboda haka in ka ɗauke ni a kan ni abokin tarayya ne, sai ka marabce shi kamar yadda za ka marabce ni.
18 but if he have wronged thee anything or owe anything [to thee], put this to my account.
In ya yi maka wani laifi ko kuma yana riƙe maka wani bashi, sai ka mai da shi a kaina.
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.
Ni, Bulus, nake rubuta wannan da hannuna. Zan biya ka, kada ma a yi zancen ranka da kake riƙe mini bashi.
20 Yea, brother, I would have profit of thee in [the] Lord: refresh my bowels in Christ.
Ina fata, ɗan’uwa, zan sami amfani daga gare ka cikin Ubangiji; ka wartsake zuciyata cikin Kiristi.
21 Being confident of thine obedience, I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say.
Da tabbacin biyayyarka, ina rubuta maka, da sanin za ka yi fiye da abin da na ce.
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that I shall be granted to you through your prayers.
Abu guda ya rage, ka shirya mini masauƙi, domin ina bege za a mayar da ni gare ku albarkacin addu’o’inku.
23 Epaphras salutes thee, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;
Efafaras, abokin tarayyata a kurkuku cikin Kiristi Yesu, yana gaishe ka.
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workmen.
Haka kuma Markus, Aristarkus, Demas da kuma Luka, abokan aikina.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit.
Alherin Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi yă kasance da ruhunku.
