Philemon 1
1 Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, and our brother Timotheus, vnto Philemon our deare friende, and fellowe helper,
Pawulo, musungwa wa Kkilisito Jesu, amukwesu Timoti kuli Filimoni, mweenzuma uyandika kali mubelesima,
2 And to our deare sister Apphia, and to Archippus our fellowe souldier, and to the Church that is in thine house:
alubo kuli Afia muchizi wesu, alubo kuli Akkifasi silumambama, alubo akumbungano ziswanana mun'anda yenu.
3 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Luzyalo alube kuli ndiwe aluumuno luzwa kuli Leza taatesu aMwami Jesu Kkilisito.
4 I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers,
Ime abuzuba ngandilumba Leza wangu elyo ndakudombola munkombyo zyangu,
5 (When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes)
nkambo ndimvwa atala alusyomo ndolalo kuli Mwami Jesu aluyando ndolalo kuli boonse bantu bakwe basalala.
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.
Ndikomba kuti kwaabana kwalusyomo lwakwe kuchite kuti lube chiswayo akumvwisisisya kuzwide kwchintu choonse chibotu nchitulacho muMwami.
7 For we haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because by thee, brother, the Saintes bowels are comforted.
Nkambondijisi kukondwa kupati akumbuluzigwa nkambo kaluyando lwakwe, nkambo myoyo yabantu baLeza basalala yakakatalukwa ayebo, mwanama,
8 Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient,
Lino, nikuba kuti ndijisi koonse kutayowa muliKkilisito kukulayilila iwe kuchita nzyooyelede kuchita,
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.
nikubaboobo nkambo kaluyando, ime ndikombelela kulinduwe kwinda kuti - Ime, Pawulo, munene, alubo lino musungwa waKkilisito.
10 I beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes,
Ime ndikombelezya kulinduwe nkambo kamwana ngu Onesimasi, ngundakazyala muncheni zyangu.
11 Which in times past was to thee vnprofitable, but nowe profitable both to thee and to me,
Nkambo chindi chamana taakalikwe mulimo kulindiwe, pesi lino wabamilimu koonse kulinduwe akuli ndime.
12 Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels,
Ndamutuma alimwi kulinduwe, ngumoyo wangu.
13 Whom I woulde haue reteined with mee, that in thy steade he might haue ministred vnto me in the bondes of the Gospel.
Ndalikuyandisya kuti ndimubambe afwifwi andime kuti azoondichitile milimo kwachindi chinini ndilimumacheni nkambo kamakani mabotu.
14 But without thy minde woulde I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly.
Pesi tendalikuyanda kuchita chimwi chintu kanditakwe mvumo yako. Tandilikuyanda nchito zyako zibotu kuti zizwe kukusinikizya pesi kuzwa kubabotu bwakuliyandila.
15 It may be that he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer, (aiōnios g166)
Alimwi kuli zeezi wakaanzanisigwa ayebo kwachindi, kuti uzyoobawe musule akutamani. (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?
Taakwe na chizoba muzike, pesi mbubombubo kwinda muzike, imwanama uyandwa kapati kuli ndime, alubo akwindilila kulinduwe, muziyanza zyobili munyama amuMwami.
17 If therefore thou count our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe.
Kuti kondijisi mbuli mwenzinyokwe, mutambule mbuli ndime.
18 If he hath hurt thee, or oweth thee ought, that put on mine accounts.
Kuti kaliwakubisizya nikubaujisi chikwelete chamusyobonzi, chibikke kulindime.
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.
Ime, Pawulo, ndilembeezi aluboko lwangu. Ime lwangu ndizyo yibbadala- kanditadomboli kuti undikweleta bube bwako!
20 Yea, brother, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort my bowels in the Lord.
Ili, mwanama, leka ndijane zimwi zijanwa kuzwa kulindime muMwami bambulula moyo wangu muli Kkilisito.
21 Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then I say.
Ndasyoma atala akuswiilila kwako, ndakulembela. Ndilizi kuti ulachita kwinda nzindakulembela.
22 Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto you.
Muchiindi eecho, mundibambile n'anda yabenzu, nkambo ndilangilila kuti kwindilila ankombyo zyanu ndizyoomupegwa lubo.
23 There salute thee Epaphras my felowe prisoner in Christ Iesus,
Epafulasi, musungwama muli Kkilisito Jesu, ulamujuuzya.
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my felowe helpers.
AMakko alakwe, Alisitakkasi, Demasi, a Lukka mubelesima.
25 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. ‘Written from Rome to Philemon, and send by Onesimus a seruant.’
Luzyalo lwa Mwami wesu Jesu Kkilisito lube amuuya wako. Amen.
