Philemon 1
1 Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, and our brother Timotheus, vnto Philemon our deare friende, and fellowe helper,
Na Paora, na te herehere a Karaiti Ihu, na to taua teina hoki, na Timoti, ki ta maua e aroha nei, ki to maua hoa mahi, ki a Pirimona,
2 And to our deare sister Apphia, and to Archippus our fellowe souldier, and to the Church that is in thine house:
Ki a Apia hoki, ko to maua tuahine, ki to maua hoa hoia, ki a Arakipu, ki te hahi hoki i tou whare:
3 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Kia tau te aroha noa ki a koutou, me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.
4 I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers,
Tenei ahau te whakawhetai atu nei ki toku Atua, mau tonu toku mahara ki a koe i aku karakiatanga:
5 (When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes)
He rongo noku ki tou aroha, ki tou whakapono ki te Ariki, ki a Ihu, a ki te hunga tapu katoa;
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.
Mo te whakahoatanga mai o tou whakapono kia whai mana, i runga i te matauranga ki nga pai katoa i roto i a koutou, he mea ki a Karaiti Ihu.
7 For we haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because by thee, brother, the Saintes bowels are comforted.
He nui hoki to matou koa, marie ana hoki te ngakau i tou aroha, no te mea e ora ana nga ngakau o te hunga tapu i a koe, e toku teina.
8 Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient,
Heoi ahakoa he nui toku maia i roto i a te Karaiti ki te whakatakoto atu i te mea tika ki a koe,
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.
Na te aroha ke taku ka inoi atu nei, ara taku, ta te koroheke, ta Paora, he herehere nei inaianei na Ihu Karaiti;
10 I beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes,
He kupu tenei naku ki a koe mo taku tamaiti, mo Onehimu, he mea whanau naku i ahau nei i te herehere:
11 Which in times past was to thee vnprofitable, but nowe profitable both to thee and to me,
I mua, kahore tetahi mea pai ana ki a koe; inaianei ia, kua whai pai koe i a ia, ahau ano hoki.
12 Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels,
Kua whakahokia atu nei ia e ahau, tona tinana tonu, ko toku manawa ake ia.
13 Whom I woulde haue reteined with mee, that in thy steade he might haue ministred vnto me in the bondes of the Gospel.
I mea ano ahau kia puritia ia ki ahau, hei whakakapi mou ki te mahi ki ahau i roto i nga mekameka o te rongopai:
14 But without thy minde woulde I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly.
Otira kahore nei tau kupu, kihai ahau i pai kia meatia tetahi mea; kei riro whakauaua mai tou pai; engari i roto ano i te ngakau.
15 It may be that he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer, (aiōnios g166)
Ko te mea ano pea tenei i motuhia mai ai ia i a koe mo tetahi wa, kia mau pu ai ia i a koe ake ake; (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?
Ehara i te mea hei pononga ia i enei wa, engari tera atu i te pononga, he teina i nui rawa ai toku aroha, tera ia e nui rawa atu tou, i te kikokiko, i te Ariki ano hoki.
17 If therefore thou count our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe.
Na, ki te mea kua waiho ahau hei hoa mou, manako mai ki a ia me te mea ko ahau.
18 If he hath hurt thee, or oweth thee ought, that put on mine accounts.
Ki te mea ia kua he ia ki tetahi mea au, kei a ia ranei tetahi mea au, waiho mai maku tena e whakaaro;
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.
He tuhituhi tenei naku, na Paora, na toku ringaringa ake, maku e whakautu; na kahore aku meatanga atu ki a koe, tera ano taku taonga kei a koe, ko koe ano.
20 Yea, brother, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort my bowels in the Lord.
Ae ra, e toku teina, kia whai pai ahau i a koe i roto i te Ariki: kia ora toku ngakau i roto i te Ariki.
21 Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then I say.
He u no toku whakaaro ki a koe ka ngohengohe, i tuhituhi atu ai ahau ki a koe, e mohio ana hoki, tera e nui atu tau e mea ai i taku e korero atu nei.
22 Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto you.
Tenei ano hoki, kia rite mai i a koe tetahi whare moku: e mea ana hoki ahau tera e mana a koutou inoi, a ka tukua atu ahau kia a koutou.
23 There salute thee Epaphras my felowe prisoner in Christ Iesus,
Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koe a Epapara, toku hoa herehere i roto i a Karaiti Ihu,
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my felowe helpers.
Ratou tahi ko Maka, ko Aritaku, ko Rimaha, ko Ruka, oku hoa mahi.
25 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. ‘Written from Rome to Philemon, and send by Onesimus a seruant.’
Kia tau te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti ki o koutou wairua. Amine.
