Philemon 1
1 Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, and our brother Timotheus, vnto Philemon our deare friende, and fellowe helper,
Neni Paulu, mtatilwa toziya ya Kristu Yesu, nwera pamuhera na Timotewu mlongu muyetu. Tukulembera gwenga Filimoni mtenda lihengu myetu yatukufira,
2 And to our deare sister Apphia, and to Archippus our fellowe souldier, and to the Church that is in thine house:
na dada Afiya na Arikipu shonta myetu na Shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu shawaliwona ukaya kwaku.
3 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Tuwafilireni manemu na ponga ya Mlungu Tati gwetu, na kwa Mtuwa Yesu Kristu.
4 I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers,
Nonga mayagashii Mlungu shipindi shoseri panukuluwira Filimoni,
5 (When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes)
toziya mpikanira ntambu yagumjimira Mtuwa Yesu na ntambu yaguwafira wantu woseri wa Mlungu.
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.
Numuluwa Mlungu kakupanani likakala kuwagambira wantu wamonga njimiru yaku su guvimani goseri maheri gatuwera naga kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu.
7 For we haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because by thee, brother, the Saintes bowels are comforted.
Ufiru waku unjegera nemeleru nkulu na kuntula moyu toziya gwenga guyinemeziya myoyu ya wantu wa Mlungu.
8 Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient,
Su, neni mlongu gwaku kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu, handa hangu weza kuwera na ugangamala kukugambira ntambu yagufiruwa kutenda,
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.
kumbiti toziya ya mafiliru, nukuluwa hera. Neni Paulu nwera mzewi vinu na mtatirwa toziya ya kumtendera Yesu Kristu,
10 I beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes,
nukuluwa kwajili ya Onesimu, yakawera gambira mwana gwangu yakamjimira Kristu, nweriti tati gwakuwi gwa shirohu neni panweriti kushibetubetu.
11 Which in times past was to thee vnprofitable, but nowe profitable both to thee and to me,
Makashu Onesmu kaweriti shintu ndiri, Kumbiti vinu kawera muntu gwa utanga kwa neni na gwenga vulaa.
12 Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels,
Vinu numtuma kwagwenga, yomberi ndo moyu gwangu.
13 Whom I woulde haue reteined with mee, that in thy steade he might haue ministred vnto me in the bondes of the Gospel.
Menfiriti kalikali na neni su kantangi lihengu panu kwajili ya mwenga shipindi ashi neni shawera mushibetubetu toziya ya Shisoweru Shiwagira.
14 But without thy minde woulde I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly.
Nfira ndiri kutenda shoseri pota na gwenga kujimira, su utanga woseri yamgenda kumpanana yomberi, uweri wa kufira maweni.
15 It may be that he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer, (aiōnios g166)
Pamonga Onesmu kawukiti kwa gwenga kwa katepu hera, su kawuyi kayi kwagwenga mashaka goseri. (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?
Na vinu yomberi mmanda ndiri kayi, kumbiti kawera kuliku mmanda, yomberi ndo mlongu gwetu. Yatumfira. Kaweri muntu gwa utanga kwaneni na hakaweri muntu gwa utanga nentu kwagwenga, pakawonikana handa ndo muntu muyetu na mlongu Mumtuwa.
17 If therefore thou count our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe.
Handa yaguwona neni kuwera mlongu gwaku su gumwanki Onesmu ntambu yagunangiti neni.
18 If he hath hurt thee, or oweth thee ought, that put on mine accounts.
Handa kakukosera shintu, ama kawera na uwanda kwa gwenga, su neni hanumlipiri.
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.
Neni Paulu nemba namweni kwa liwoku lyangu, hanukulipi. Handa hangu gwenga paguwera na uwanda wa ukomu waku kwaneni.
20 Yea, brother, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort my bowels in the Lord.
Mlongu gwangu gutendi hangu kwa kuntanga neni toziya ya litawu lya Mtuwa, handa mlongu gwangu kwa kuwera pamuhera na Kristu, gugufiliziyi moyu gwangu.
21 Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then I say.
Neni nwera na unakaka kuwera nembiti aga, hagutendi nentu ya ganukugambira.
22 Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto you.
Pamuhera na aga, muntandiri shumba sha kugonja toziya Mlungu pakankula ganduwa na neni hanuwatyangiri.
23 There salute thee Epaphras my felowe prisoner in Christ Iesus,
Epafura, mtatirwa muyangu toziya ya kumtendera Kristu Yesu, kankukulamsiya.
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my felowe helpers.
Na ashina Mariku na Alisitariku na Dema na Luka na awa watenda lihengu wayangu, viraa vilii wankukulamusiya.
25 The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. ‘Written from Rome to Philemon, and send by Onesimus a seruant.’
Manemu ga Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu gaweri pamuhera namwenga.
