Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother: to Philemon, our beloved and fellow labourer;
Nne Pauli nankutabhwa kwa ligongo lya a Yeshu Kilishitu, na alongo ajetu a Timoteo, tunakunjandishila mmwe a Pilimoni nkupingwa na uwe na mmakamula liengo ajetu,
2 And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy house:
na alumbu bhetu a Apiya, na a Alikipo linjola nnjetu nngulupai na likanisha liimananga nnyumba jabho.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nema na ulele kopoka kwa Atati a Nnungu na Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, ibhe na mmanganyanji.
4 I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers.
Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu bhangu mobha gowe, pungunkumbushila mwe a Pilimoni nkujuga kwangu,
5 Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints:
pabha ngulipilikana shinkuti kwaakulupalila a Yeshu Bhakulungwa bhetu na shinkuti kwaapinganga bha ukonjelo bhowe bha a Nnungu.
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.
Ngunakwaajuga a Nnungu kuti, ngulupai jimuilundile na uwe jinkomboye kubha na lumanyio lwa kushimanya kila shindu sha mmbone shitukwete, nkulundana kwetu na a Kilishitu.
7 For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
Pabha kwa kwaapinganga kwenu bhandu, kushing'angalaya kaje na njitagwa ntima kwa ligongo lyenu mwe mmakilishitu ajangu, numbe nshikujiangalaya mitima ja bhandunji bha ukonjelo.
8 Wherefore though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose:
Kwa nneyo, ikabhe ngwete makangala ga kunnajila mmwe ntende indu inkupinjikwa tenda pabha nkulundana kwangu na a Kilishitu,
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.
ikabheje kwa ligongo lya nonyelana ngunakunjuga, malinga nne Pauli shingongopele shino, na numbe nnaino nankutabhwa kwa ligongo lya a Yeshu Kilishitu.
10 I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus,
Bhai ngunakunnjuga kwa ligongo lika mwanangu Oneshimushi, junimpatile nngulupai nili nkutabhwa.
11 Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable both to me and thee,
Bhukala jwenejo akampwaaga, ikabheje nnaino shampwae mmwe na nkali nne.
12 Whom I have sent back to thee. And do thou receive him as my own bowels.
Lelo ngunakummuja najo kwenu mmwe, jwenejo ni malinga ntima gwangu namwene.
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel:
Napinjile atame na nne nkupinga anyangutile maengo penu mmwe, pepano pundabhilwe kwa ligongo lya Ngani ja Mmbone pano.
14 But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary.
Ikabheje ngapinga kutenda shoshowe gwangali kumpilikana mmwe, nkupinga uguja gwenu unabhe gwa shishilishiywa, ikabhe ubhe gwa pinga mmayene.
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee, that thou mightest receive him again for ever: (aiōnios g166)
Pana mwashinkulekana naka Oneshimo mobha gashoko, nkupinga abhujaga, atame na mmwe mobha gowe. (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?
Bhai nnaino jwenejo nngabha ntumwape, ikabhe jwa mmbone kupunda ntumwa, ni nnongo nnjetu, nne ananonyela kaje, numbe mmwe shapunde kunnonyela, jweneju nnjetu na nnongo nnjetu nkulundana na Bhakulungwa.
17 If therefore thou count me a partner, receive him as myself.
Kwa nneyo malinga shinkumona nne kuti nannjenu, bhai mumposhele jwenejo mbuti nkumboshela nne.
18 And if he hath wronged thee in any thing, or is in thy debt, put that to my account.
Monaga annebhele shoshowe eu nnakunnonga shoshowe, bhai shenesho nnonje nne.
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.
Nne Pauli ngujandika jene bhaluwa jino kwa nkono gwangu namwene, nguti shinipe. Ngakunkumbushiya kuti ngunalongwa ga maisha genu.
20 Yea, brother. May I enjoy thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.
Elo apwanga, ngunapinga mbwaishe kwenu mmwe kupitila Bhakulungwa, nng'angalaye ntima gwangu nkulundana na a Kilishitu.
21 Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
Ngunakunnjandishila pabha nikumanyi kukunda kwenu, nimumanyi kuti shintende nkali kupunda guninnjandishilego.
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
Punda genego, mmishile ukoto pa ishila, pabha ngunakulupalila kuti, kwa nyujilanga kwenunji, a Nnungu shibhambe shikono sha bhuja kweneko.
23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;
A Epapula, bhaatabhwa pamo na nne kwa ligongo lya kwaatumishila a Yeshu Kilishitu, bhanakunnamushilanga.
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow labourers.
Na a Maliko, na a Alishitako, na a Dema, na a Luka bhaakamula maengo ajangunji bhanakunnamushilanga.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Nema ja Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu jitame mmitima jenunji.
