Philemon 1
1 Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ, and brother Timothy, to Philemon the beloved also our fellow-laborer,
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲙⲏⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲩⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲫⲓⲗⲏⲙⲱⲛ ⲡⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲃⲣ̅ⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ
2 and to sister Apphia, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and the church in your house.
ⲃ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲁⲙⲫⲓⲁ ⲧⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲭⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲃⲣ̅ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ̈. ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩϩⲥ̅ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲏⲓ̈.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
ⲅ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅·
4 I give thanks to my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
ⲇ̅ϯϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲕⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁϣⲗⲏⲗ
5 hearing about your divine love, and the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and all the saints;
ⲉ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲧⲉⲕⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲕⲥ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
6 in order that the fellowship of your faith may be efficient in the perfect knowledge of every good thing which is in you toward Christ.
ⲋ̅ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲉⲛⲉⲣⲅⲓ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅·
7 For I had much joy and consolation over your divine love, because the affections of the saints have been refreshed by you, O brother.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲗⲥⲗ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲉⲥⲡⲗⲁⲅⲭⲛⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ.
8 Therefore, having much boldness in Christ to command you to that which is appropriate,
ⲏ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣϩⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲉϣϣⲉ
9 on account of the divine love, I the more exhort you, being such as Paul the aged, and now also the prisoner of Jesus Christ.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲛⲟϭ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲏⲣ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
10 I exhort you concerning my son, whom I begat in my bonds, Onesimus,
ⲓ̅ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ ϩⲁⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ϫⲡⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲙⲣ̅ⲣⲉ. ⲟⲛⲏⲥⲓⲙⲟⲥ.
11 him at one time unprofitable to you, but now profitable both to you and to me: whom I have sent back to you,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲟ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧϣⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϣⲁⲩ. ⲁⲓ̈ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲕ.
12 him, that is my own heart.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϣⲟⲡϥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲥⲡⲗⲁⲅⲭⲛⲟⲛ.
13 Whom I did wish to have with me, in order that he might minister unto me in your stead in the bonds of the gospel:
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ϩⲁⲧⲏⲓ̈. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲙⲁ ϩⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ.
14 but without your consent I did not wish to do anything; in order that your good might not be by constraint, but by the free will:
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁϫⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲅⲛⲱⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲉⲕⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲟⲩϩⲧⲟⲣ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϩⲛⲁⲕ.
15 for on this account he suddenly departed from you for an hour, that you might have him back forever; (aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲙⲉϣⲁⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲕ. ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲕⲉϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ϣⲁⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōnios g166)
16 no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a brother beloved, especially to me, and much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord:
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲱⲥ ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲁⲛ ϭⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ ⲉϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ. ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲉ ⲟⲩⲏⲣ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ.
17 if then you have me a comrade, receive him as myself.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ϯϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲓⲛⲱⲛⲟⲥ ϣⲟⲡϥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϩⲉ.
18 If he has wronged you as to anything, or owes you anything, charge this to me.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉϣϫⲉⲁϥϫⲓⲧⲕ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲛⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ. ⲏ̅ ⲟⲩⲛⲧⲁⲕ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲟⲡϥ̅ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈.
19 I Paul have written with my own hand, I will pay it: not that I may say to you that you even owe yourself to me.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲓ̈ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϭⲓϫ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲧⲟⲩⲉⲓⲟ ⲛⲁⲕ. ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧ ϩⲱⲱⲕ ⲛ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ.
20 Yea, brother, let me rejoice over you in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ.
ⲕ̅ⲁⲓ̈ⲟ ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲕ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ⲥ. ϯⲙ̅ⲧⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲥⲡⲗⲁⲅⲭⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
21 Having confidence in your obedience I have written to you, knowing that you will do even more than those things which I say.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲉⲓ̈ⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ϩⲧⲏⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲕⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲧⲙⲏⲧ ⲁⲓ̈ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲁⲕ. ⲉⲓ̈ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲕⲛⲁⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉⲡⲉϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
22 And at the same time also prepare for me a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I will be consigned unto you.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲁⲙⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲅ̅ⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ. ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲧⲁⲁⲧ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲗⲏⲗ.

24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers, salute you.

25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
