< Philemon 1 >
1 This letter is sent from Paul, prisoner of Jesus Christ, and from our brother Timothy, to Philemon, our good friend and co-worker;
ཁྲཱིཥྚསྱ ཡཱིཤོ རྦནྡིདཱསཿ པཽལསྟཱིཐིཡནཱམཱ བྷྲཱཏཱ ཙ པྲིཡཾ སཧཀཱརིཎཾ ཕིལཱིམོནཾ
2 to our sister Apphia, to Archippus who fights alongside us, and to your house church.
པྲིཡཱམ྄ ཨཱཔྤིཡཱཾ སཧསེནཱམ྄ ཨཱརྑིཔྤཾ ཕིལཱིམོནསྱ གྲྀཧེ སྠིཏཱཾ སམིཏིཉྩ པྲཏི པཏྲཾ ལིཁཏཿ།
3 May you have grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
ཨསྨཱཀཾ ཏཱཏ ཨཱིཤྭརཿ པྲབྷུ ཪྻཱིཤུཁྲཱིཥྚཤྩ ཡུཥྨཱན྄ པྲཏི ཤཱནྟིམ྄ ཨནུགྲཧཉྩ ཀྲིཡཱསྟཱཾ།
4 I always thank my God for you, remembering you in my prayers,
པྲབྷུཾ ཡཱིཤུཾ པྲཏི སཪྻྭཱན྄ པཝིཏྲལོཀཱན྄ པྲཏི ཙ ཏཝ པྲེམཝིཤྭཱསཡོ ཪྻྲྀཏྟཱནྟཾ ནིཤམྱཱཧཾ
5 because I hear of your trust in the Lord Jesus and your love for all believers.
པྲཱརྠནཱསམཡེ ཏཝ ནཱམོཙྩཱརཡན྄ ནིརནྟརཾ མམེཤྭརཾ དྷནྱཾ ཝདཱམི།
6 I pray that you will put the generous nature of your trust in God into action as you recognize all the good things we share in Christ.
ཨསྨཱསུ ཡདྱཏ྄ སཽཛནྱཾ ཝིདྱཏེ ཏཏ྄ སཪྻྭཾ ཁྲཱིཥྚཾ ཡཱིཤུཾ ཡཏ྄ པྲཏི བྷཝཏཱིཏི ཛྙཱནཱཡ ཏཝ ཝིཤྭཱསམཱུལིཀཱ དཱནཤཱིལཏཱ ཡཏ྄ སཕལཱ བྷཝེཏ྄ ཏདཧམ྄ ཨིཙྪཱམི།
7 Your love, my dear brother, has brought me much happiness and encouragement. You have really inspired those of us who believe!
ཧེ བྷྲཱཏཿ, ཏྭཡཱ པཝིཏྲལོཀཱནཱཾ པྲཱཎ ཨཱཔྱཱཡིཏཱ ཨབྷཝན྄ ཨེཏསྨཱཏ྄ ཏཝ པྲེམྣཱསྨཱཀཾ མཧཱན྄ ཨཱནནྡཿ སཱནྟྭནཱ ཙ ཛཱཏཿ།
8 That's why even though I'm brave enough in Christ to order you to do your duty,
ཏྭཡཱ ཡཏ྄ ཀརྟྟཝྱཾ ཏཏ྄ ཏྭཱམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱཔཡིཏུཾ ཡདྱཔྱཧཾ ཁྲཱིཥྚེནཱཏཱིཝོཏྶུཀོ བྷཝེཡཾ ཏཐཱཔི ཝྲྀདྡྷ
9 I would rather ask you this favor out of love. Old Paul, now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus,
ཨིདཱནཱིཾ ཡཱིཤུཁྲཱིཥྚསྱ བནྡིདཱསཤྩཻཝམྦྷཱུཏོ ཡཿ པཽལཿ སོ྅ཧཾ ཏྭཱཾ ཝིནེཏུཾ ཝརཾ མནྱེ།
10 is appealing to you on behalf of Onesimus who became my adopted son during my imprisonment.
ཨཏཿ ཤྲྀངྑལབདྡྷོ྅ཧཾ ཡམཛནཡཾ ཏཾ མདཱིཡཏནཡམ྄ ཨོནཱིཥིམམ྄ ཨདྷི ཏྭཱཾ ཝིནཡེ།
11 In the past he was of no use to you, but now he's useful to both you and me!
ས པཱུཪྻྭཾ ཏཝཱནུཔཀཱརཀ ཨཱསཱིཏ྄ ཀིནྟྭིདཱནཱིཾ ཏཝ མམ ཙོཔཀཱརཱི བྷཝཏི།
12 I send him to you with my fondest wishes.
ཏམེཝཱཧཾ ཏཝ སམཱིཔཾ པྲེཥཡཱམི, ཨཏོ མདཱིཡཔྲཱཎསྭརཱུཔཿ ས ཏྭཡཱནུགྲྀཧྱཏཱཾ།
13 I'd have preferred to keep him here with me so that he could have helped me as you would have done while I am in chains for telling the good news.
སུསཾཝཱདསྱ ཀྲྀཏེ ཤྲྀངྑལབདྡྷོ྅ཧཾ པརིཙཱརཀམིཝ ཏཾ སྭསནྣིདྷཽ ཝརྟྟཡིཏུམ྄ ཨཻཙྪཾ།
14 But I decided not do anything without your permission. I didn't want you to be forced to do good, but to do so willingly.
ཀིནྟུ ཏཝ སཽཛནྱཾ ཡད྄ བལེན ན བྷཱུཏྭཱ སྭེཙྪཱཡཱཿ ཕལཾ བྷཝེཏ྄ ཏདརྠཾ ཏཝ སམྨཏིཾ ཝིནཱ ཀིམཔི ཀརྟྟཝྱཾ ནཱམནྱེ།
15 Maybe you lost him for a while so that you could have him back forever! (aiōnios )
ཀོ ཛཱནཱཏི ཀྵཎཀཱལཱརྠཾ ཏྭཏྟསྟསྱ ཝིཙྪེདོ྅བྷཝད྄ ཨེཏསྱཱཡམ྄ ཨབྷིཔྲཱཡོ ཡཏ྄ ཏྭམ྄ ཨནནྟཀཱལཱརྠཾ ཏཾ ལཔྶྱསེ (aiōnios )
16 He's not a servant anymore, because he's more than a servant. He's a specially-loved brother, particularly to me, and even more to you, both as a man and as a fellow-believer in the Lord.
པུན རྡཱསམིཝ ལཔྶྱསེ ཏནྣཧི ཀིནྟུ དཱསཱཏ྄ ཤྲེཥྛཾ མམ པྲིཡཾ ཏཝ ཙ ཤཱརཱིརིཀསམྦནྡྷཱཏ྄ པྲབྷུསམྦནྡྷཱཙྩ ཏཏོ྅དྷིཀཾ པྲིཡཾ བྷྲཱཏརམིཝ།
17 So if you consider me as a colleague working together with you for the Lord, welcome him as if you were welcoming me.
ཨཏོ ཧེཏོ ཪྻདི མཱཾ སཧབྷཱགིནཾ ཛཱནཱསི ཏརྷི མཱམིཝ ཏམནུགྲྀཧཱཎ།
18 If he has done you any wrong, or owes you anything, charge it to my account.
ཏེན ཡདི ཏཝ ཀིམཔྱཔརཱདྡྷཾ ཏུབྷྱཾ ཀིམཔི དྷཱཪྻྱཏེ ཝཱ ཏརྷི ཏཏ྄ མམེཏི ཝིདིཏྭཱ གཎཡ།
19 I Paul am signing this with my own hand: I will repay you. Of course I won't mention what you owe me, including your very self!
ཨཧཾ ཏཏ྄ པརིཤོཏྶྱཱམི, ཨེཏཏ྄ པཽལོ྅ཧཾ སྭཧསྟེན ལིཁཱམི, ཡཏསྟྭཾ སྭཔྲཱཎཱན྄ ཨཔི མཧྱཾ དྷཱརཡསི ཏད྄ ཝཀྟུཾ ནེཙྪཱམི།
20 Yes, brother, I'm expecting this favor from you in the Lord; please make me happy in Christ.
བྷོ བྷྲཱཏཿ, པྲབྷོཿ ཀྲྀཏེ མམ ཝཱཉྪཱཾ པཱུརཡ ཁྲཱིཥྚསྱ ཀྲྀཏེ མམ པྲཱཎཱན྄ ཨཱཔྱཱཡཡ།
21 I'm writing about this to you because I'm convinced you'll do as I ask—in fact I know you'll do even more than I've asked!
ཏཝཱཛྙཱགྲཱཧིཏྭེ ཝིཤྭསྱ མཡཱ ཨེཏཏ྄ ལིཁྱཏེ མཡཱ ཡདུཙྱཏེ ཏཏོ྅དྷིཀཾ ཏྭཡཱ ཀཱརིཥྱཏ ཨིཏི ཛཱནཱམི།
22 In the meantime please have a room ready for me, for I hope to be able to return to see you soon in answer to your prayers.

23 Epaphras who is here in prison with me sends his greetings,
ཁྲཱིཥྚསྱ ཡཱིཤཱཿ ཀྲྀཏེ མཡཱ སཧ བནྡིརིཔཱཕྲཱ
24 as do my co-workers Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke.
མམ སཧཀཱརིཎོ མཱརྐ ཨཱརིཥྚཱརྑོ དཱིམཱ ལཱུཀཤྩ ཏྭཱཾ ནམསྐཱརཾ ཝེདཡནྟི།
25 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
