Philemon 1
1 Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, and our brother Timotheus, vnto Philemon our deare friende, and fellowe helper,
khrIShTasya yIsho rbandidAsaH paulastIthiyanAmA bhrAtA cha 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 gR^ihe sthitAM samiti ncha prati patraM likhataH|
3 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
asmAkaM tAta IshvaraH prabhu ryIshukhrIShTashcha yuShmAn prati shAntim anugraha ncha kriyAstAM|
4 I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers,
prabhuM yIshuM prati sarvvAn pavitralokAn prati cha tava premavishvAsayo rvR^ittAntaM nishamyAhaM
5 (When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes)
prArthanAsamaye tava nAmochchArayan nirantaraM mameshvaraM 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 khrIShTaM yIshuM yat prati bhavatIti j nAnAya tava vishvAsamUlikA dAnashIlatA yat saphalA bhavet tadaham ichChAmi|
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 cha jAtaH|
8 Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient,
tvayA yat karttavyaM tat tvAm Aj nApayituM yadyapyahaM khrIShTenAtIvotsuko bhaveyaM tathApi vR^iddha
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 yIshukhrIShTasya bandidAsashchaivambhUto yaH paulaH so. ahaM tvAM vinetuM varaM manye|
10 I beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes,
ataH shR^i Nkhalabaddho. ahaM yamajanayaM taM madIyatanayam onIShimam 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 chopakArI bhavati|
12 Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels,
tamevAhaM tava samIpaM preShayAmi, ato madIyaprANasvarUpaH sa tvayAnugR^ihyatAM|
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 kR^ite shR^i Nkhalabaddho. ahaM parichArakamiva taM svasannidhau varttayitum aichChaM|
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 svechChAyAH 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 kShaNakAlArthaM tvattastasya vichChedo. abhavad 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 shreShThaM mama priyaM tava cha shArIrikasambandhAt prabhusambandhAchcha tato. adhikaM priyaM bhrAtaramiva|
17 If therefore thou count our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe.
ato heto ryadi mAM sahabhAginaM jAnAsi tarhi mAmiva tamanugR^ihANa|
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 parishotsyAmi, etat paulo. ahaM svahastena likhAmi, yatastvaM svaprANAn api mahyaM dhArayasi tad vaktuM nechChAmi|
20 Yea, brother, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort my bowels in the Lord.
bho bhrAtaH, prabhoH kR^ite mama vA nChAM pUraya khrIShTasya kR^ite mama prANAn ApyAyaya|
21 Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then I say.
tavAj nAgrAhitve vishvasya mayA etat likhyate mayA yaduchyate tato. adhikaM tvayA kAriShyata iti jAnAmi|
22 Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto you.
tatkaraNasamaye madarthamapi vAsagR^ihaM tvayA sajjIkriyatAM yato yuShmAkaM prArthanAnAM phalarUpo vara ivAhaM yuShmabhyaM dAyiShye mameti pratyAshA jAyate|
23 There salute thee Epaphras my felowe prisoner in Christ Iesus,
khrIShTasya yIshAH kR^ite mayA saha bandiripAphrA
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my felowe helpers.
mama sahakAriNo mArka AriShTArkho dImA lUkashcha 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 ryIshukhrIShTasyAnugraho yuShmAkam AtmanA saha bhUyAt| Amen|
