< Philemon 1 >

1 Paul, a prisoner of Yahushua the Messiah, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
Nene Pauli, mkungiwa ndava ya kumuhengela Yesu Kilisitu, pamonga na Timoti mlongo witu, tikuyandikila veve Filimoni, muhenga lihengu muyitu na nkozi muyitu mwatikuganili,
2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the assembly in thy house:
na msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu vevikonganeka munyumba yaku, pamonga na mlumbu witu Afia, na manjolinjoli muyitu Alikipo.
3 Favour to you, and peace, from YHWH our Father and the Master Yahushua the Messiah.
Tikuvaganila uteke na ubwina kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
4 I thank my Elohim, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
Lukumbi lwoha penimyupa Chapanga, nikukumbuka veve Filimoni na kumsengusa Chapanga,
5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Master Yahushua, and toward all saints;
muni niyuwana chauyimili musadika kwa Bambu witu Yesu na uganu kwa vandu voha va Chapanga.
6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in the Messiah Yahushua.
Niyupa, kuvya kwinu musadika pamonga na veve, ukukita umanya kila chindu chabwina chetivili nachu mukuwungana na Bambu witu Kilisitu.
7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
Mlongo, uganu waku uletili luheku luvaha na kukangamalisa mtima neju! Na veve usangalwisi mitima ya vandu va Chapanga.
8 Wherefore, though I might have much boldness in the Messiah to command you what is fitting,
Nene namlongo waku mukuwunga na Kilisitu nganihotwili kukulagiza changali wogohi ukita chauganikiwa kukita.
9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Yahushua the Messiah.
Nambu ndava ya uganu, mbanga nikuyupe. Nikita chenichi pamonga nene Pauli mwanivii nagogo, na hinu mkungiwa ndava ya kumhengela Kilisitu Yesu.
10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
Hinu, nina luyupu kwaku kumvala Onesimo mweavili mwana vangu kwa kuwungana na Kilisitu. Muni navili dadi waki wa chimpungu petavili mchifungu.
11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
Pakutumbula apo avili lepi na lihengu kwaku nambu hinu ana lihengu kwa veve na nene mewa.
12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
Hinu nikumuwuyisa kwaku, pamonga nene nikumgana neju.
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the evangel:
Nigana atama na nene apa anitangatila pahala paku veve, lukumbi penivili mchifungu ndava ya kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina.
14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
Nikita lepi chindu chochoha changali kuyidakila veve. Naganili veve ubwela kwa kugana kwaku na lepi kwa kung'ang'aniswa.
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; (aiōnios g166)
Pangi Onesimo awukili kwaku lukumbi lutali, muni uhotola kavili kuvya na veve magono goha. (aiōnios g166)
16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Master?
Hinu mwene mvanda lepi kavili nambu mbwina kuliku mvanda. Mwene hinu ndi mlongo witu mganu. Ndi mbwina kwa nene na kwaku yati ivya mbwina neju, muni mwene ndi mundu ngati tete na mlongo witu mukuwungana na Bambu.
17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
Nambu, ukuniwona nene namuhenga lihengu muyaku hinu ndi mpokela Onesimo ngati ukunipokela nene.
18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;
Ngati akubudili chindu, amala atolili chindu chaku, nene yati nikuwuyisila.
19 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
Nene Pauli nikuyandikila kwa chiwoko changu namwene yati nikulipa. Kangi nigana lepi nikukumbusa kuvya veve una chindu cheuganikiwa kuniwuyisila ndi wumi waku.
20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in YHWH: refresh my tender affections in YHWH.
Hinu mlongo wangu, nikitila lijambu lenilo ndava ya Bambu, lisangalusa mtima wangu, ngati mlongo mukuwungana na Kilisitu.
21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
Niyandika kuni nihuvalila kuvya yati wiyidakila luyupu lwangu, kavili nimanyili kuvya yati ukita hati neju ya ago genikuyupa.
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
Pamonga na aga, nitendelekela chumba cha kugona, muni mukuyupa kwinu Chapanga, yati akuniwuyisa kavili kwinu.
23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in the Messiah Yahushua;
Epafla, mweakungiwi pamonga na nene ndava ya kumhengela Kilisitu Yesu, akukujambusa.
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
Mewawa Maluko na Alistako na Dema na Luka, vahenga lihengu vayangu, vakuvajambusa.
25 The favour of our Master Yahushua the Messiah be with your spirit.
Nikuvaganila mwavoha nyenye ubwina wa Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
