Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker,
Jesu Khrih a thawk tla Paul ingkaw ningnih a naa Timote ing, Ka lungnaak pyi ingkaw bibi pyikung Filemon ingkaw,
2 and Apphia the beloved, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and the assembly in your house:
Kaimih a koei nu Apphia, qalkap pyi Arkhipa ingkaw na im awh a mik cun thlangboel a venawh:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Bawipa Jesu Khrih ingkaw Pa Khawsa venawh kaw qeennaak ingkaw ngaihdingnaak awm seh.
4 I give thanks to my God, always making mention of you in my prayers,
Kak cykcah awh nang aham Khawsa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn poepa nyng,
5 hearing of your love and faith that you have to the Lord Jesus and toward all the holy ones,
Bawipa Jesu awh cangnaak na taaknaak ingkaw thlakciimkhqi na lungnaak dawngawh zeelnaak awi kqawn nyng.
6 that the fellowship of your faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that [is] in you toward Christ Jesus;
Thlang a venawh nak cangnaak ce nak kqawn awh nak tha a hly naak aham cykcah nyng, cawh ni Khrih awh ik-oeih leek ni tahy tice zaksim caihnaak na taak hly thai hy.
7 for we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the yearnings of the holy ones have been refreshed through you, brother.
Nang, naa pa ing thlak ciimkhqi ak kawlung ce na caih sak peng a dawngawh, nang a lungnaak ing ni zeel sak nawh tha ni awm sak hy.
8 For this reason, having in Christ much boldness to command you that which is fit—
Cedawngawh, Khrih awh ka qaal leek nawh nang ing na sai hly kawi ik-oeih ce sai aham awi ni pe thai nyng seiawm,
9 because of the love I rather plead, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;
lungnaak awh nang a venawh qeennaak thoeh law nyng. Cedawngawh, kai Paul, pacawng ingkaw Jesu Khrih awh thawng ak tla ing,
10 I beg you concerning my child—whom I begot in my bonds—Onesimus,
ka capa Onesima aham qeennaak thoeh law nyng, thiqui ing khih na ka awm awh anih ce ka capa na coeng hy.
11 who once was to you unprofitable, and now is profitable to me and to you,
Ak cyk awhtaw anih ve nang aham a hawihkhangnaak am awm hy, cehlai tuh awhtaw nang ingkaw kai aham hawihkhangnaak awm hawh hy.
12 whom I sent again to you—he who is my own heart,
Anih, kak kawlung tang tang ve, na venna tyi law tlaih nyng.
13 whom I intended to retain to myself, that in your behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news,
Awithang leek awh thiqui ing khih na ka awm awh kai anik bawm aham, ka venawh awm sak aham ngaih mai kawng nyng.
14 but apart from your mind I willed to do nothing, so that your good deed may not be as of necessity, but of willingness,
Cehlai nang ing na nim lengnaak ve namah ak tha hlynaak ing sai na a awm nawh sai sak ngah ngah amyihna ama awmnaak aham nang ang haa tlaaknaak kaana taw ikaw awm sai aham am ngaih nyng.
15 for perhaps because of this he departed for an hour, that you may have him continuously, (aiōnios g166)
Nang a venawh kawng kawlhkalh a pleng qunaak ve nang ing ak nep na na taaknaak tlaih aham va ni hy voei – (aiōnios g166)
16 no longer as a servant, but above a servant—a beloved brother, especially to me, and how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the LORD!
tamnaa na taak voel kaana, tamnaa anglakawh ak nep khqoet, naa amyihna na taak thainaak aham ngaih nyng. Kai ing lungna nyng, cehlai pumsa ingkaw Bawipa awh nang ing lungnak khqoet hyk ti.
17 If, then, you have fellowship with me, receive him as me,
Kai ve nang ing bi ak bi haih ak thlang na na nik poek awhtaw, kai nani do amyihna anih awm do law lawt.
18 and if he did hurt to you, or owes anything, charge this to me;
Nang a venawh ik-oeih a sai thawlh aw laiba sah hly kawi aw a taak awhtaw, kai a venawh kqawn law mai.
19 I, Paul, wrote with my hand, I will repay; besides, that I may not say that you also owe to me yourself.
Kai, Paul ing kamah a kut qoe qoe ing ve ak ca ve qee law nyng. Namah qoe qoe ka venawh peek qu aham awm hyk ti ti kqawn kaana, kai ing ni pe tlaih bit kawng.
20 Yes, brother, may I have profit of you in the LORD; refresh my yearnings in the LORD;
Ka naa, Bawipa awh ce nang a venawh kawng hawihkhang naak ka huh thainaak aham ngaih nyng; Khrih awh kak kawlung ve caih law sak lah.
21 I wrote to you having been confident in your obedience, having known that you will also do above what I may say;
Nang ak awi ngainaak ce kak cangnaak dawngawh, kai ing ka thoeh law anglakawh khawzah khqoet sai law kawp ti tice sim doena, na venawh ca qee law nyng.
22 and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I will be granted to you.
Ik-oeih pynoet awm hyn hy: kai aham pahnaak ce qoek abah law lah, nang ak cykcahnaak qawi a qi na awm kawmsaw na venawh awm kawng tinawh poek nyng.
23 Epaphras greets you (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus),
Jesu Khrih awh thawng kang tlaak pyi Epafra ing kut nim tuk khqi hy.
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow-workmen!
Cemyih lawtna ka bibi pyikhqi, Marka, Aristarka, Dema ingkaw Luka ingawm kut nim tuk khqi hy.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit! Amen.
Bawipa Jesu Khrih am qeennaak ce nang myihla awh awm seh.
