Philemon 1
1 PAUL, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy a brother, to Philemon the beloved, and our fellow-labourer,
Jisu Kristo thoilam di phaatak ni tongte Pool nyia seng phono Timothi taangnawa— Seng joonte seng damdi roong mootkaatte Philemoon suh,
2 and to Apphia the beloved, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church at thy house:
nyia an nok ni chomuiti chaaste loong suh nep, adoleh seng loong no Apphia nyia sipaahi Arkippus loong suh raanghang:
3 grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Seng loong Wah Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo ih minchan toom kohan nyia semroongroong toom songtong thuk han.
4 I thank my God always, making mention of thee in my prayers,
Nga no Philemoon, Rangte suh lakookmi li angno, an raangtaan ih saapoot rookwet rangsoom hang
5 hearing of thy love and faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and unto all the saints;
Rangte mina loong raangtaan ih an minchan eje nyia Jisu su tuumaang lu ah ngah ih japchaat ehang.
6 that there may be an operative communication of thy faith made known by every good thing, which is in you towards Jesus Christ.
Nga rangsoom ah langla seng hanpiite loong ih sen damdi rangchosoom hi thoidoh Kristo jun ih romseetam tiit ah ehanhan toom ih jat ih.
7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
Nga no, an minchan tiit asuh ngah rapne roonlang nyia chaan koh halang! Rangte mina loong ten rapne ih roonthuk lu.
8 Wherefore, though I have in Christ great liberty to enjoin thee what is becoming,
Erah raangtaan ih, Kristo phoh ano jun ih, tiimjih reejih ah erah lacho laphaan ih jen baattaan etheng taha.
9 I rather for love’s sake entreat, being such as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner for Jesus Christ.
Enoothong an nga moongnook ang thoidi, an lasih ba johala. Ngah Pool laang ang ang bah uh, nyia Kristo mendi laang mokah ang bah uh adoleh amadi heh thoilam di phaatak ni laangtong ang bah uh, an nga moongnook ang thoidi reelang.
10 I entreat thee for my son, whom I have begotten during my bonds, Onesimus:
Erah raangtaan Onesimas mendi an lasih johala, heh amadi Kristo mendi nga sah miimi eh hoonla; tiimnge liidi ngah phaatak ni tong angdi chiilam laalam ni heh wah eh hoon lang.
11 who in time past hath been an unprofitable servant to thee, but now very profitable to thee and to me:
Pootsiit an raangtaan ih heh tiim uh tah angta, enoothong amadi heh sek raangtaan ih ejamjih eh hoonla.
12 whom I have sent back; thou therefore receive him, even as my own bowels:
Amadi heh an reeni ngaakwang thuk halang, ngaathung ngaatak uh heh damdi.
13 whom I wished to detain about myself, that in thy stead he might have waited upon me during my bonds for the gospel:
Ngah Ruurang Ese tungthoidi phaatak ni tonglang pootdoh, an ih chosok lakbi toom chosok hang ngeh ih nga reenah tongthuk thengtang.
14 but without thy consent would I do nothing; that this good deed of thine might not be as of necessity, but from thy own choice.
Ang abah uh, an ih ngah chosok jaatjaat etheng ngeh ih tali kang; heh thung ih toom re ah ngeh ih li hala. Erah raangtaan ih an thung lah angko bah ngah tiim uh tami reekang.
15 For to this end perhaps was he separated from thee for a season, that thou mightest receive him for ever; (aiōnios g166)
Onismas ah pootsiit an reenawa haloh ih hoonta ah langla an reenah saarep raangtaan toom ngaak tongha ngeh ih heh ang thamta. (aiōnios g166)
16 no longer as a slave, but above a slave, as a brother beloved, especially by me, but how much more by thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
Eno amadi heh dah luulu tah angka, dah nang eju elong eh hoonla: Heh Kristo phoh ano eh hoonla. Nga raangtaan ih heh nga mongnook! Adoleh an raangtaan ih erah nang ih ju eseethoon ang ah, heh dah luulu lah angthang ih Teesu mendi phoh ano eh hoonla.
17 If therefore thou holdest me a sharer with thee, receive him as myself.
Erah raangtaan ih, anjoon anwaan ngeh ih thun hang bah, ngah ban noppoon hang ah liikhiik heh uh ban noppoon ih uh.
18 If he hath injured thee or oweth thee ought, put that to my account;
Heh an raangtaan ih thetreeta bah nyia tiimkot jilam angta bah uh, ngah ih ngaak kottheng ngeh ih raangthiin uh.
19 I Paul have given it under my own hand, I will repay it, not to say to thee, that thou owest even thine own self unto me.
Arah, nga teewah lak ih raangmaat halang: Ngah Pool, ngah ih ma ngaak koha. ( An nga raangtaan ih, an suh lah dopbaatjih angta.)
20 Yea, brother, I wish to have joy in thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
Nga no, erah raangtaan ih, Teesu mendoh nga jeng ah boichaat ih weeuh, Kristo phoh ano mendoh ngah eroon ih weethuk hang!
21 Having confidence in thy obedience, I have written unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do more than I say.
Arah le ah raangmaat hangno, ngah sen suh re erum ah ngeh ih kamkam ih laalom lang—ngah ih jat ih hang erah nang ih botseh ehan reeraang pakna an.
22 But at the same time prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
Erah damdoh, nga tong suh rumsiit than ban khookham thiin an, tiimnge liidi Rangte ih sen loong rangsoom ah chaat eha ngeh ih laalom lang eno sen reenah engaak ih thuk hang.
23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;
Jisu Kristo raangtaan ih, nga damdi phaatak ni roongtongte, Epaphras ih sen suh jengseera halan,
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-labourers.
erah damdi nga damdi roong mootkaatte Maak, Aritarkus, Demas nyia Luk loong ih nep jengseera halan.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Amen. Written to Philemon from Rome, by Onesimus one of his household.
Teesu Jisu Kristo minchan sen loongtang damdoh toom je ah.
