Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother: to Philemon, our beloved and fellow labourer;
khrīṣṭasya yīśō rbandidāsaḥ paulastīthiyanāmā bhrātā ca priyaṁ sahakāriṇaṁ philīmōnaṁ
2 And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy house:
priyām āppiyāṁ sahasēnām ārkhippaṁ philīmōnasya gr̥hē sthitāṁ samitiñca prati patraṁ likhataḥ|
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
asmākaṁ tāta īśvaraḥ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca yuṣmān prati śāntim anugrahañca kriyāstāṁ|
4 I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers.
prabhuṁ yīśuṁ prati sarvvān pavitralōkān prati ca tava prēmaviśvāsayō rvr̥ttāntaṁ niśamyāhaṁ
5 Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints:
prārthanāsamayē tava nāmōccārayan nirantaraṁ mamēśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|
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.
asmāsu yadyat saujanyaṁ vidyatē tat sarvvaṁ khrīṣṭaṁ yīśuṁ yat prati bhavatīti jñānāya tava viśvāsamūlikā dānaśīlatā yat saphalā bhavēt tadaham icchāmi|
7 For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
hē bhrātaḥ, tvayā pavitralōkānāṁ prāṇa āpyāyitā abhavan ētasmāt tava prēmnāsmākaṁ mahān ānandaḥ sāntvanā ca jātaḥ|
8 Wherefore though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose:
tvayā yat karttavyaṁ tat tvām ājñāpayituṁ yadyapyahaṁ khrīṣṭēnātīvōtsukō bhavēyaṁ tathāpi vr̥ddha
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.
idānīṁ yīśukhrīṣṭasya bandidāsaścaivambhūtō yaḥ paulaḥ sō'haṁ tvāṁ vinētuṁ varaṁ manyē|
10 I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus,
ataḥ śr̥ṅkhalabaddhō'haṁ yamajanayaṁ taṁ madīyatanayam ōnīṣimam adhi tvāṁ vinayē|
11 Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable both to me and thee,
sa pūrvvaṁ tavānupakāraka āsīt kintvidānīṁ tava mama cōpakārī bhavati|
12 Whom I have sent back to thee. And do thou receive him as my own bowels.
tamēvāhaṁ tava samīpaṁ prēṣayāmi, atō madīyaprāṇasvarūpaḥ sa tvayānugr̥hyatāṁ|
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel:
susaṁvādasya kr̥tē śr̥ṅkhalabaddhō'haṁ paricārakamiva taṁ svasannidhau varttayitum aicchaṁ|
14 But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary.
kintu tava saujanyaṁ yad balēna na bhūtvā svēcchāyāḥ phalaṁ bhavēt tadarthaṁ tava sammatiṁ vinā kimapi karttavyaṁ nāmanyē|
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee, that thou mightest receive him again for ever: (aiōnios g166)
kō jānāti kṣaṇakālārthaṁ tvattastasya vicchēdō'bhavad ētasyāyam abhiprāyō yat tvam anantakālārthaṁ taṁ lapsyasē (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?
puna rdāsamiva lapsyasē tannahi kintu dāsāt śrēṣṭhaṁ mama priyaṁ tava ca śārīrikasambandhāt prabhusambandhācca tatō'dhikaṁ priyaṁ bhrātaramiva|
17 If therefore thou count me a partner, receive him as myself.
atō hētō ryadi māṁ sahabhāginaṁ jānāsi tarhi māmiva tamanugr̥hāṇa|
18 And if he hath wronged thee in any thing, or is in thy debt, put that to my account.
tēna yadi tava kimapyaparāddhaṁ tubhyaṁ kimapi dhāryyatē vā tarhi tat mamēti viditvā gaṇaya|
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.
ahaṁ tat pariśōtsyāmi, ētat paulō'haṁ svahastēna likhāmi, yatastvaṁ svaprāṇān api mahyaṁ dhārayasi tad vaktuṁ nēcchāmi|
20 Yea, brother. May I enjoy thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.
bhō bhrātaḥ, prabhōḥ kr̥tē mama vāñchāṁ pūraya khrīṣṭasya kr̥tē mama prāṇān āpyāyaya|
21 Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
tavājñāgrāhitvē viśvasya mayā ētat likhyatē mayā yaducyatē tatō'dhikaṁ tvayā kāriṣyata iti jānāmi|
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
tatkaraṇasamayē madarthamapi vāsagr̥haṁ tvayā sajjīkriyatāṁ yatō yuṣmākaṁ prārthanānāṁ phalarūpō vara ivāhaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ dāyiṣyē mamēti pratyāśā jāyatē|
23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus;
khrīṣṭasya yīśāḥ kr̥tē mayā saha bandiripāphrā
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow labourers.
mama sahakāriṇō mārka āriṣṭārkhō dīmā lūkaśca tvāṁ namaskāraṁ vēdayanti|
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
asmākaṁ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasyānugrahō yuṣmākam ātmanā saha bhūyāt| āmēn|
