Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother: to Philemon, our beloved and fellow labourer;
Khritaw Jesuha phäh thawng üng kyumki Pawluh ja mi bena Timoti üngkhyüh — Kami nglawipüi ja khut kami bi püi Philimon ja
2 And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy 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 from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mi Pa Pamhnam ja Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw naw bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak ning pe se.
4 I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers.
Ka na Philimon naw ka ktaiyüa kcün naküt üng nang ning süm lü Pamhnam veia jenak ka mthehki.
5 Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints:
Pamhnama khyange na jah mhläkphyanak ja Bawi Jesuh üng na taka jumnak ka ngjaka phäh ni.
6 That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work, that is in you in Christ Jesus.
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 have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
Ka na aw, na mhläkphyanak naw na jekyaisak lü ngjuktha na pe ve! Nang naw Pamhnama khyangea mlung jah suhne veki.
8 Wherefore though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose:
Ahina phäha Khritaw üng ka ning na akba kei naw yet lü i pawh vai ti hin ngthu ning mtheh veng.
9 For charity sake I rather beseech, whereas thou art such a one, as Paul an old man, and now a prisoner also of Jesus Christ.
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 I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus,
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 hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable both to me and thee,
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 thee. And do thou receive him as my own bowels.
Ani am ka mlung ngpüi law lü na veia ka tüih law be ni.
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel:
Thangkdawa phäh thawng üng ka kyum üng nanga kcaha na kuei khaia ka hlawnga a ve vai ka täng kyaw.
14 But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary.
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 perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee, that thou mightest receive him again 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 Not now as a servant, but instead of a servant, a most dear brother, especially to me: but how much more to thee both in the flesh and 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 therefore thou count me a partner, receive him as myself.
Acunakyase, na na püia na ngaih üngta, kei na na dokhama mäiha ani pi dokham bea.
18 And if he hath wronged thee in any thing, or is in thy debt, put that 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 have written it with my own hand: I will repay it: not to say to thee, that thou owest me thy own self also.
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 Yea, brother. May I enjoy thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.
Acunakyase, ka na aw, Khritaw üng na bea kba na jesak lü Bawipa phäha ka hmai bük lü ahin hin keia khana pawha.
21 Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do 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 But withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto 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 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;
Jesuh Khritawa phäh thawng üng ka kyum püi Epapharah naw ning jah hnukset ve,
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow labourers.
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. Amen.
Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa bäkhäknak nami vana khana ve se.
