Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother: to Philemon, our beloved and fellow labourer;
Bulus, ɗan kurkuku saboda Kiristi Yesu, da kuma Timoti ɗan’uwanmu, Zuwa ga Filemon ƙaunataccen abokinmu da kuma abokin aikinmu,
2 And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy 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 from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Alheri da salama daga Allah Ubanmu da kuma Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi, su kasance tare da ku.
4 I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers.
Kullum nakan gode wa Allahna sa’ad da nake tuna da kai cikin addu’o’ina,
5 Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in 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 That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work, that is in you in 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 I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been 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 though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose:
Saboda haka, ko da yake cikin Kiristi ina iya yin ƙarfin hali in umarce ka ka yi abin da ya kamata,
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.
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 beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus,
Ina roƙonka saboda ɗana Onesimus, wanda ya zama ɗana yayinda nake cikin sarƙoƙi.
11 Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable both to me and thee,
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. And do thou receive him as my own bowels.
Ina aike shi yă koma gare ka, shi da yake zuciyata.
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel:
Na so in riƙe shi a wurina a madadinka domin yă taimake ni yayinda nake cikin sarƙoƙi saboda bishara.
14 But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary.
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 he therefore departed for a season from thee, that thou mightest receive him again 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 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?
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 count me a partner, receive him as myself.
Saboda haka in ka ɗauke ni a kan ni abokin tarayya ne, sai ka marabce shi kamar yadda za ka marabce ni.
18 And if he hath wronged thee in any thing, or is in thy debt, put that 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 my own hand: I will repay it: not to say to thee, that thou owest me thy own self also.
Ni, Bulus, nake rubuta wannan da hannuna. Zan biya ka, kada ma a yi zancen ranka da kake riƙe mini bashi.
20 Yea, brother. May I enjoy thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.
Ina fata, ɗan’uwa, zan sami amfani daga gare ka cikin Ubangiji; ka wartsake zuciyata cikin Kiristi.
21 Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do 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 through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
Abu guda ya rage, ka shirya mini masauƙi, domin ina bege za a mayar da ni gare ku albarkacin addu’o’inku.
23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;
Efafaras, abokin tarayyata a kurkuku cikin Kiristi Yesu, yana gaishe ka.
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow labourers.
Haka kuma Markus, Aristarkus, Demas da kuma Luka, abokan aikina.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Alherin Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi yă kasance da ruhunku.
