Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy [our] brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
Khritaw Jesuha phäh thawng üng kyumki Pawluh ja mi bena Timoti üngkhyüh — Kami nglawipüi ja khut kami bi püi Philimon ja
2 And to [our] beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
na ima ngkhämkia sangcim ja mi ci Apphia ja ngtuk mi pawh püi Akhipaha veia ni:
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mi Pa Pamhnam ja Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw naw bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak ning pe se.
4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
Ka na Philimon naw ka ktaiyüa kcün naküt üng nang ning süm lü Pamhnam veia jenak ka mthehki.
5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
Pamhnama khyange na jah mhläkphyanak ja Bawi Jesuh üng na taka jumnak ka ngjaka phäh ni.
6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
Ka ktaiyünak ta mi ngkhawteinak üng jumeikia mi kya akba, Khritaw am mi yümmatnak üng vekia dawkyanak naküt cun akdaw mi ksingnak däm däm vaia kyaki.
7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
Ka na aw, na mhläkphyanak naw na jekyaisak lü ngjuktha na pe ve! Nang naw Pamhnama khyangea mlung jah suhne veki.
8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
Ahina phäha Khritaw üng ka ning na akba kei naw yet lü i pawh vai ti hin ngthu ning mtheh veng.
9 Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech [thee], being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
Isetiakyaküng ning kphya na lü ka ning nghuinak ni. Khritaw Jesuha ngsä, ania phäha tuha kcün üng thawng kyum kei Pawluh naw ka pawh ni.
10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
Khritaw üng ka ca, thawng üng ka kyum k'um üng ngmüimkhya lama a na pa naw Onesimasa kcaha ning nghui na veng.
11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
Ahlana ani cun ia am ngtäh lüpi atuha nang ja keia phäh ani cun summang vai kya ve.
12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
Ani am ka mlung ngpüi law lü na veia ka tüih law be ni.
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
Thangkdawa phäh thawng üng ka kyum üng nanga kcaha na kuei khaia ka hlawnga a ve vai ka täng kyaw.
14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
Acunsepi, na na kuei vaia käh ka ning sihling na khai, acuna kthaka na titänga na bilawh vai ni ka täng ve. Nang naw am ä xaki lü i pi am pawh veng.
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; (aiōnios g166)
Onesimas cun nang üngkhyüh asäng thuk lü a ve hin na hlawnga akcün tä a ve vaia phäh ni. (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 Lord?
Atuha mpya sawxata am kya lü mpyaa kthak dawki Khritaw üng na mhlänaka na naa kyaki ni. Ani cun keia phäh aktäa daw ve! Nanga phäh pi aktäa daw khai ni. Ani cun mpya ja Bawipa üng na na akba salü daw bawk khai ni!
17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
Acunakyase, na na püia na ngaih üngta, kei na na dokhama mäiha ani pi dokham bea.
18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] ought, put that on mine account;
Ani naw a ning thung vai am ani üng a ning mkhyenak üngpi ka ning thung vai ta kawm pi.
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.
Kei Pawluh naw ka ning thungkhih khai ti lü ka kut ye am ka yuk law ni: (na sak phäh na je na bä ka ning mtheh vai am hlü khai ni.)
20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
Acunakyase, ka na aw, Khritaw üng na bea kba na jesak lü Bawipa phäha ka hmai bük lü ahin hin keia khana pawha.
21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
Ahin ka yuk lawa kba na pawh khaia ka ksingki, ahina kthaka pi na pawh khai tia ka ksingki ni.
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
Acuna thea, keia phäh akhan na tak pet bä, isetiakyaküng, Pamhnam naw nami vana ktaiyünak ning jah msak lü na veia ka lawnak vai na pe khai tia ka äpeiki ni.
23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
Jesuh Khritawa phäh thawng üng ka kyum püi Epapharah naw ning jah hnukset ve,
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
khut ka bipüie Makuh, Aristakhas, Demah ja Luhka naw pi ning hnukset ve u.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen.
Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa bäkhäknak nami vana khana ve se.
