Philemon 1
1 Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, and our brother Timotheus, vnto Philemon our deare friende, and fellowe helper,
khrISTasya yIzo rbandidAsaH paulastIthiyanAmA bhrAtA ca priyaM sahakAriNaM philImonaM
2 And to our deare sister Apphia, and to Archippus our fellowe souldier, and to the Church that is in thine house:
priyAm AppiyAM sahasenAm ArkhippaM philImonasya gRhe sthitAM samitiJca prati patraM likhataH|
3 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
asmAkaM tAta IzvaraH prabhu ryIzukhrISTazca yuSmAn prati zAntim anugrahaJca kriyAstAM|
4 I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers,
prabhuM yIzuM prati sarvvAn pavitralokAn prati ca tava premavizvAsayo rvRttAntaM nizamyAhaM
5 (When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes)
prArthanAsamaye tava nAmoccArayan nirantaraM mamezvaraM dhanyaM vadAmi|
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.
asmAsu yadyat saujanyaM vidyate tat sarvvaM khrISTaM yIzuM yat prati bhavatIti jJAnAya tava vizvAsamUlikA dAnazIlatA yat saphalA bhavet tadaham icchAmi|
7 For we haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because by thee, brother, the Saintes bowels are comforted.
he bhrAtaH, tvayA pavitralokAnAM prANa ApyAyitA abhavan etasmAt tava premnAsmAkaM mahAn AnandaH sAntvanA ca jAtaH|
8 Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient,
tvayA yat karttavyaM tat tvAm AjJApayituM yadyapyahaM khrISTenAtIvotsuko bhaveyaM tathApi vRddha
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.
idAnIM yIzukhrISTasya bandidAsazcaivambhUto yaH paulaH so'haM tvAM vinetuM varaM manye|
10 I beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes,
ataH zRGkhalabaddho'haM yamajanayaM taM madIyatanayam onISimam adhi tvAM vinaye|
11 Which in times past was to thee vnprofitable, but nowe profitable both to thee and to me,
sa pUrvvaM tavAnupakAraka AsIt kintvidAnIM tava mama copakArI bhavati|
12 Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels,
tamevAhaM tava samIpaM preSayAmi, ato madIyaprANasvarUpaH sa tvayAnugRhyatAM|
13 Whom I woulde haue reteined with mee, that in thy steade he might haue ministred vnto me in the bondes of the Gospel.
susaMvAdasya kRte zRGkhalabaddho'haM paricArakamiva taM svasannidhau varttayitum aicchaM|
14 But without thy minde woulde I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly.
kintu tava saujanyaM yad balena na bhUtvA svecchAyAH phalaM bhavet tadarthaM tava sammatiM vinA kimapi karttavyaM nAmanye|
15 It may be that he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer, (aiōnios g166)
ko jAnAti kSaNakAlArthaM tvattastasya vicchedo'bhavad etasyAyam abhiprAyo yat tvam anantakAlArthaM taM lapsyase (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?
puna rdAsamiva lapsyase tannahi kintu dAsAt zreSThaM mama priyaM tava ca zArIrikasambandhAt prabhusambandhAcca tato'dhikaM priyaM bhrAtaramiva|
17 If therefore thou count our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe.
ato heto ryadi mAM sahabhAginaM jAnAsi tarhi mAmiva tamanugRhANa|
18 If he hath hurt thee, or oweth thee ought, that put on mine accounts.
tena yadi tava kimapyaparAddhaM tubhyaM kimapi dhAryyate vA tarhi tat mameti viditvA gaNaya|
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.
ahaM tat parizotsyAmi, etat paulo'haM svahastena likhAmi, yatastvaM svaprANAn api mahyaM dhArayasi tad vaktuM necchAmi|
20 Yea, brother, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort my bowels in the Lord.
bho bhrAtaH, prabhoH kRte mama vAJchAM pUraya khrISTasya kRte mama prANAn ApyAyaya|
21 Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then I say.
tavAjJAgrAhitve vizvasya mayA etat likhyate mayA yaducyate tato'dhikaM tvayA kAriSyata iti jAnAmi|
22 Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto you.
tatkaraNasamaye madarthamapi vAsagRhaM tvayA sajjIkriyatAM yato yuSmAkaM prArthanAnAM phalarUpo vara ivAhaM yuSmabhyaM dAyiSye mameti pratyAzA jAyate|
23 There salute thee Epaphras my felowe prisoner in Christ Iesus,
khrISTasya yIzAH kRte mayA saha bandiripAphrA
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my felowe helpers.
mama sahakAriNo mArka AriSTArkho dImA lUkazca tvAM namaskAraM vedayanti|
25 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. ‘Written from Rome to Philemon, and send by Onesimus a seruant.’
asmAkaM prabho ryIzukhrISTasyAnugraho yuSmAkam AtmanA saha bhUyAt| Amen|
