Philemon 1
1 Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, and our brother Timotheus, vnto Philemon our deare friende, and fellowe helper,
Paul, yon prizonye Kris Jésus, ak Timothée, frè nou an: a Philémon, frè byeneme e ouvriye parèy nou an,
2 And to our deare sister Apphia, and to Archippus our fellowe souldier, and to the Church that is in thine house:
ak Apphia, sè ou, a Archippe sòlda parèy a nou, e a legliz lakay ou a:
3 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Lagras pou ou, ak lapè Bondye, Papa nou, e Senyè a, Jésus Kri.
4 I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers,
Mwen remèsye Bondye m nan toujou, e nonmen non ou nan lapriyè m yo
5 (When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes)
paske mwen tande de lanmou ou, ak lafwa ke ou genyen anvè Senyè a, Jésus, e anvè tout sen yo.
6 That the fellowship of thy faith may bee made effectuall, and that whatsoeuer good thing is in you through Christ Iesus, may be knowen.
Anplis, mwen priye pou lamitye lafwa ou kapab vin efikas selon konesans a tout bon bagay ki nan ou pou koz a Kris la.
7 For we haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because by thee, brother, the Saintes bowels are comforted.
Paske nou gen tan twouve anpil lajwa ak rekonfò nan lanmou ou, paske kè a fidèl yo vin rafrechi atravè ou menm, frè.
8 Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient,
Konsa malgre ke mwen gen ase konfyans nan Kris pou bay ou lòd pou fè sa ki bon,
9 Yet for loues sake I rather beseeche thee, though I be as I am, euen Paul aged, and euen nowe a prisoner for Iesus Christ.
malgre pou koz lanmou an, mwen pito sipliye ou—paske mwen se yon moun tankou Paul granmoun lan, e koulye a, osi yon prizonye a Kris Jésus.
10 I beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes,
Mwen sipliye ou, pou pitit mwen an, Onésime, ke mwen te vin fè pandan mwen te nan prizon an,
11 Which in times past was to thee vnprofitable, but nowe profitable both to thee and to me,
ke avan, te initil a ou menm, men koulye a, li itil ni pou ou, ni pou mwen.
12 Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels,
Mwen voye li tounen kote ou an pèsòn. Sa vle di, se kè m menm ke m voye a.
13 Whom I woulde haue reteined with mee, that in thy steade he might haue ministred vnto me in the bondes of the Gospel.
Mwen te pito kenbe l avè m, pou l ta kapab, nan non ou, fè sèvis pou mwen, pandan mwen anprizone pou levanjil la.
14 But without thy minde woulde I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly.
Men san pèmisyon ou, mwen pa t vle fè anyen, pou bonte ou pa ta, anfèt “pa lafòs”, men m ta pito akoz bòn volonte pa ou.
15 It may be that he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer, (aiōnios g166)
Paske, li ka petèt separe de ou, eksprè pou rezon sa a, pou yon ti tan, pou ou ta kapab genyen l vin retounen nèt, (aiōnios g166)
16 Not now as a seruant, but aboue a seruant, euen as a brother beloued, specially to me: howe much more then vnto thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord?
pa tankou yon esklav ankò, men plis ke yon esklav yon frè byeneme, sitou pou mwen menm, men plis ankò pou ou, nan lachè e nan Senyè a.
17 If therefore thou count our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe.
Si, konsa, ou gade mwen kòm yon ouvriye parèy ou, aksepte li kòm ou ta aksepte mwen.
18 If he hath hurt thee, or oweth thee ought, that put on mine accounts.
Men si, nan nenpòt jan li te fè ou tò, oswa dwe ou yon bagay, mete sa sou kont mwen.
19 I Paul haue written this with mine owne hande: I will recompense it, albeit I doe not say to thee, that thou owest moreouer vnto me euen thine owne selfe.
Mwen, Paul, mwen ap ekri sa avèk pwòp men mwen. Mwen va ranbouse ou li (annou pa menm pale ke ou menm dwe m menm pwòp tèt ou tou.)
20 Yea, brother, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort my bowels in the Lord.
Wi, frè m, kite m benefisye de ou nan Senyè a. Rafrechi kè m nan Kris la.
21 Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then I say.
Avèk konfyans nan obeyisans ou, mwen ekri ou, paske m konnen ke ou va fè menm plis ke sa mwen di a.
22 Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto you.
An menm tan an tou, prepare pou mwen yon kote pou m rete, paske mwen gen espwa ke pa lapriyè ou yo pou mwen, y ap lage m nan men ou.
23 There salute thee Epaphras my felowe prisoner in Christ Iesus,
Épaphras, prizonye parèy mwen nan Kris Jésus, salye ou
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my felowe helpers.
tankou Marc, Aristarque, Démas Luc, ouvriye parèy a mwen yo.
25 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. ‘Written from Rome to Philemon, and send by Onesimus a seruant.’
Ke lagras Senyè a, Jésus Kri, rete avèk lespri ou. Amen.
