Philemon 1
1 Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, and our brother Timotheus, vnto Philemon our deare friende, and fellowe helper,
Pauro, musungwa waKristu Jesu, naTimoti hama yedu, kuna Firimoni shamwari yedu inodikanwa uye nomushandi pamwe chete nesu,
2 And to our deare sister Apphia, and to Archippus our fellowe souldier, and to the Church that is in thine house:
kuna Afia hanzvadzi yedu, kuna Akipo murwi pamwe chete nesu uye nokukereke inosangana mumba mako:
3 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Nyasha ngadzive nemi norugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu naIshe Jesu Kristu.
4 I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers,
Ndinovonga Mwari wangu nguva dzose pandinokurangarira muminyengetero yangu,
5 (When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes)
nokuti ndinonzwa nezvokutenda kwako muna Ishe Jesu uye norudo rwako kuvatsvene vose.
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.
Ndinokunyengeterera kuti ugovane navamwe nesimba, kuitira kuti uve noruzivo rwakazara pamusoro pezvinhu zvose zvakanaka zvatinazvo muna Kristu.
7 For we haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because by thee, brother, the Saintes bowels are comforted.
Rudo rwako rwakandipa mufaro mukuru nokukurudzirwa, nokuti iwe, hama yangu, wakazorodza mwoyo yavatsvene.
8 Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient,
Naizvozvo, kunyange zvazvo ndisingatyi, muna Kristu, kuti ndikurayire zvaunofanira kuita,
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.
asi ndinokukumbira nokuda kworudo. Saka ini, saPauro mutana uye zvino musungwa waKristu Jesu
10 I beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes,
ndinokumbira kwauri pamusoro pomwanakomana wangu Onesimasi, akava mwanakomana wangu pakusungwa kwangu.
11 Which in times past was to thee vnprofitable, but nowe profitable both to thee and to me,
Akanga asingabatsiri kwauri kare, asi zvino ava kubatsira kwatiri tose iwe neni.
12 Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels,
Ndiri kumudzosera kwauri, iye mwoyo wangu chaiwo.
13 Whom I woulde haue reteined with mee, that in thy steade he might haue ministred vnto me in the bondes of the Gospel.
Ndaida kuti iye agare neni kuti agotora nzvimbo yako pakundibatsira zvandiri muusungwa nokuda kweVhangeri.
14 But without thy minde woulde I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly.
Asi handina kuda kuita chinhu iwe usina kuchitendera, kuitira kuti zvose zvakanaka zvauchaita zvirege kuva zvokurovedzerwa asi nokuda kwako.
15 It may be that he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer, (aiōnios g166)
Nokuti zvimwe wakaparadzaniswa naye kwechinguva kuti ugozova naye nokusingaperi, (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?
asisiri somuranda, asi ava nani kupfuura muranda, sehama inodikanwa. Munhu anodikanwa kwandiri, asi kutonyanya kwauri, zvose somunhu uye sehama muna She.
17 If therefore thou count our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe.
Saka kana uchindiona somumwe wako, mugamuchire sokugamuchira kwaungandiita.
18 If he hath hurt thee, or oweth thee ought, that put on mine accounts.
Kana ane zvaakakutadzira kana kuti ane mungava newe, uzvireve kwandiri.
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.
Ini, Pauro, ndanyora izvi noruoko rwangu. Ndichazviripira, ndisingarevi kuti iwe pachako uri mungava kwandiri.
20 Yea, brother, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort my bowels in the Lord.
Hama, ndinoshuva, kuti ndiwane rubatsiro kubva kwauri muna She; zorodza mwoyo wangu muna Kristu.
21 Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then I say.
Ndanyora kwauri ndichivimba nokuteerera kwako, ndichiziva kuti uchaita kunyange kupfuura zvandakukumbira.
22 Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto you.
Uye chimwe chinhuzve: Ndigadzirirewo pokugara, nokuti ndinotarira kuti ndichapiwa kwamuri pakupindurwa kweminyengetero yenyu.
23 There salute thee Epaphras my felowe prisoner in Christ Iesus,
Epafurasi, musungwa pamwe chete neni muna Kristu Jesu, anokukwazisai,
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my felowe helpers.
uyewo Mako, Aristakusi, Dhemasi, naRuka, vashandi pamwe chete neni.
25 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. ‘Written from Rome to Philemon, and send by Onesimus a seruant.’
Nyasha dzaIshe Jesu Kristu ngadzive nomweya wako.
