Philemon 1
1 Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, and our brother Timotheus, vnto Philemon our deare friende, and fellowe helper,
Pọl, onye e tinyere nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼihi Kraịst Jisọs na site nʼaka nwanna anyị Timoti, Anyị na-edetara gị ya ezi enyi anyị na onye anyị na ya na-arụkọ ọrụ, Fịlịmọn.
2 And to our deare sister Apphia, and to Archippus our fellowe souldier, and to the Church that is in thine house:
Anyị na-edetakwara ya nzukọ Kraịst dị nʼụlọ gị, na nwanna anyị nwanyị Afịa, na Akipos onye anyị na ya so na-alụ agha a.
3 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke bụ Nna, na Kraịst Jisọs Onyenwe anyị dịrị unu.
4 I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers,
Ana m ekele Chineke ekele mgbe ọbụla m na-echeta gị nʼekpere niile m na-ekpe.
5 (When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes)
Nʼihi na ana m anụ ihe banyere okwukwe i nwere nʼime Onyenwe anyị Jisọs, na ịhụnanya i na-egosi ndị nsọ niile.
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.
Ekpere m na-ekpe banyere gị bụ ka mmekọrịta anyị na gị dịka ndị kwere ekwe, mee ka ị matazuo ihe ọma niile anyị nwere nʼime Kraịst.
7 For we haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because by thee, brother, the Saintes bowels are comforted.
Ịhụnanya gị na-enye m oke ọṅụ na ịgbaume, ezi nwanna m, nʼihi na emeela ka ndị nsọ nwee ume ọhụrụ site nʼinyeaka gị.
8 Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient,
Ọ bụ ezie na-enwere m ike nʼime Kraịst inye gị iwu banyere ihe kwesiri ka i mee, ma agaghị m eme otu a.
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.
Kama, ọ kaara m mma site na ndabere nke ịhụnanya, ịrịọ gị ya dị ka arịrịọ. Ee, ọ bụ mụ Pọl, agadi nwoke ahụ na onye mkpọrọ nʼihi Kraịst Jisọs na-arịọ gị arịrịọ a.
10 I beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes,
Biko, arịọ m gị nʼisi Onisimọs, onye e mere ka ọ bụrụ nwa m oge m nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ.
11 Which in times past was to thee vnprofitable, but nowe profitable both to thee and to me,
Na mbụ, o nweghị uru ọbụla ọ baara gị, ma ugbu a, ọ baara mụ na gị uru.
12 Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels,
Ana m ezighachiri gị ya ugbu a, ya bụ, onye bụ obi m ka m na-ezitere gị.
13 Whom I woulde haue reteined with mee, that in thy steade he might haue ministred vnto me in the bondes of the Gospel.
Ọ gụsịrị m agụụ ike ime ka mụ na ya nọdụ nʼebe a, ka o were ọnọdụ gị na-ejere m ozi ọ bụladị dị ka m nọ na mkpọrọ nʼihi oziọma.
14 But without thy minde woulde I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly.
Ma, a chọghị m ime ihe ọbụla na-enwetaghị nkwenye gị, ka ọ ghara ịdị ka i mere obiọma gị na mmanye. Kama, achọrọ m ka i mee ihe si gị nʼobi pụta.
15 It may be that he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer, (aiōnios g166)
Ma eleghị anya, ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka eji kewapụ ya nwa oge nta site nʼebe ị nọ, bụ ka i mesịa nweghachi ya ebighị ebi. (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?
Ọ bụghịkwa ohu ọzọ, kama ọ karịrị ohu, maka ọ dịka nwanna a hụrụ nʼanya, ọkachasị nʼebe mụ onwe m nọ, ma ọ ga-abụkwara gị karịchasịa, ma nʼanụ ahụ nakwa nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
17 If therefore thou count our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe.
Nʼihi nke a, ọ bụrụ na ị gụrụ m dị ka onye nnwekọ ihe, nabata ya dị ka ị ga-esi nabata m.
18 If he hath hurt thee, or oweth thee ought, that put on mine accounts.
Biko, ọ bụrụ na o mejọrọ gị nʼụzọ ọbụla, ọ bụrụkwa na o ji ụgwọ ọbụla, gụọ ya dị ka ụgwọ m ji gị.
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.
Mụ bụ Pọl ji aka m dee nke a; aga m akwụghachi gị. Ọ bakwaghị uru ichetara gị ụgwọ i ji m. Nʼihi na ụgwọ i ji m bụ gị onwe gị.
20 Yea, brother, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort my bowels in the Lord.
Nwanna m, mere m ihe a m na-arịọ gị nʼihi Onyenwe anyị. Mekwa ka obi m dị ọhụrụ nʼime Kraịst.
21 Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then I say.
Olileanya m siri m ike na ị ga-aṅa m ntị, ana m edere gị akwụkwọ a, na ị ga-eme, ma karịakwa ka m rịọrọ.
22 Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto you.
Ihe ọzọkwa, bụ na m chọrọ ka ị kwadoro m ọnụụlọ ebe m ga-anọ dị ka ọbịa ma m bịa, maka enwere m olileanya na a ga-aza ekpere unu ime ka m si nʼebe a pụta bịakwute unu.
23 There salute thee Epaphras my felowe prisoner in Christ Iesus,
Epafras, onye mụ na ya nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼihi Kraịst Jisọs na-ekele gị.
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my felowe helpers.
Mak, na Arịstakọs, na Dimas, na Luk, ndị mụ na ha na-arụkọ ọrụ na-ekelekwa unu.
25 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. ‘Written from Rome to Philemon, and send by Onesimus a seruant.’
Ka amara Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịnyere mmụọ unu.
