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;
Jisu Kristo thoilam di phaatak ni tongte Pool nyia seng phono Timothi taangnawa— Seng joonte seng damdi roong mootkaatte Philemoon suh,
2 to our sister Apphia, to Archippus who fights alongside us, and to your house church.
nyia an nok ni chomuiti chaaste loong suh nep, adoleh seng loong no Apphia nyia sipaahi Arkippus loong suh raanghang:
3 May you have grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo ih minchan toom kohan nyia semroongroong toom songtong thuk han.
4 I always thank my God for you, remembering you in my prayers,
Nga no Philemoon, Rangte suh lakookmi li angno, an raangtaan ih saapoot rookwet rangsoom hang
5 because I hear of your trust in the Lord Jesus and your love for all believers.
Rangte mina loong raangtaan ih an minchan eje nyia Jisu su tuumaang lu ah ngah ih japchaat ehang.
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.
Nga rangsoom ah langla seng hanpiite loong ih sen damdi rangchosoom hi thoidoh Kristo jun ih romseetam tiit ah ehanhan toom ih jat ih.
7 Your love, my dear brother, has brought me much happiness and encouragement. You have really inspired those of us who believe!
Nga no, an minchan tiit asuh ngah rapne roonlang nyia chaan koh halang! Rangte mina loong ten rapne ih roonthuk lu.
8 That's why even though I'm brave enough in Christ to order you to do your duty,
Erah raangtaan ih, Kristo phoh ano jun ih, tiimjih reejih ah erah lacho laphaan ih jen baattaan etheng taha.
9 I would rather ask you this favor out of love. Old Paul, now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus,
Enoothong an nga moongnook ang thoidi, an lasih ba johala. Ngah Pool laang ang ang bah uh, nyia Kristo mendi laang mokah ang bah uh adoleh amadi heh thoilam di phaatak ni laangtong ang bah uh, an nga moongnook ang thoidi reelang.
10 is appealing to you on behalf of Onesimus who became my adopted son during my imprisonment.
Erah raangtaan Onesimas mendi an lasih johala, heh amadi Kristo mendi nga sah miimi eh hoonla; tiimnge liidi ngah phaatak ni tong angdi chiilam laalam ni heh wah eh hoon lang.
11 In the past he was of no use to you, but now he's useful to both you and me!
Pootsiit an raangtaan ih heh tiim uh tah angta, enoothong amadi heh sek raangtaan ih ejamjih eh hoonla.
12 I send him to you with my fondest wishes.
Amadi heh an reeni ngaakwang thuk halang, ngaathung ngaatak uh heh damdi.
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.
Ngah Ruurang Ese tungthoidi phaatak ni tonglang pootdoh, an ih chosok lakbi toom chosok hang ngeh ih nga reenah tongthuk thengtang.
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.
Ang abah uh, an ih ngah chosok jaatjaat etheng ngeh ih tali kang; heh thung ih toom re ah ngeh ih li hala. Erah raangtaan ih an thung lah angko bah ngah tiim uh tami reekang.
Onismas ah pootsiit an reenawa haloh ih hoonta ah langla an reenah saarep raangtaan toom ngaak tongha ngeh ih heh ang thamta. (aiōnios g166)
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.
Eno amadi heh dah luulu tah angka, dah nang eju elong eh hoonla: Heh Kristo phoh ano eh hoonla. Nga raangtaan ih heh nga mongnook! Adoleh an raangtaan ih erah nang ih ju eseethoon ang ah, heh dah luulu lah angthang ih Teesu mendi phoh ano eh hoonla.
17 So if you consider me as a colleague working together with you for the Lord, welcome him as if you were welcoming me.
Erah raangtaan ih, anjoon anwaan ngeh ih thun hang bah, ngah ban noppoon hang ah liikhiik heh uh ban noppoon ih uh.
18 If he has done you any wrong, or owes you anything, charge it to my account.
Heh an raangtaan ih thetreeta bah nyia tiimkot jilam angta bah uh, ngah ih ngaak kottheng ngeh ih raangthiin uh.
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!
Arah, nga teewah lak ih raangmaat halang: Ngah Pool, ngah ih ma ngaak koha. ( An nga raangtaan ih, an suh lah dopbaatjih angta.)
20 Yes, brother, I'm expecting this favor from you in the Lord; please make me happy in Christ.
Nga no, erah raangtaan ih, Teesu mendoh nga jeng ah boichaat ih weeuh, Kristo phoh ano mendoh ngah eroon ih weethuk hang!
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!
Arah le ah raangmaat hangno, ngah sen suh re erum ah ngeh ih kamkam ih laalom lang—ngah ih jat ih hang erah nang ih botseh ehan reeraang pakna an.
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.
Erah damdoh, nga tong suh rumsiit than ban khookham thiin an, tiimnge liidi Rangte ih sen loong rangsoom ah chaat eha ngeh ih laalom lang eno sen reenah engaak ih thuk hang.
23 Epaphras who is here in prison with me sends his greetings,
Jisu Kristo raangtaan ih, nga damdi phaatak ni roongtongte, Epaphras ih sen suh jengseera halan,
24 as do my co-workers Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke.
erah damdi nga damdi roong mootkaatte Maak, Aritarkus, Demas nyia Luk loong ih nep jengseera halan.
25 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
Teesu Jisu Kristo minchan sen loongtang damdoh toom je ah.
