Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker,
khrISTasya yIzO rbandidAsaH paulastIthiyanAmA bhrAtA ca priyaM sahakAriNaM philImOnaM
2 and Apphia the beloved, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and the assembly in your house:
priyAm AppiyAM sahasEnAm ArkhippaM philImOnasya gRhE sthitAM samitinjca prati patraM likhataH|
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
asmAkaM tAta IzvaraH prabhu ryIzukhrISTazca yuSmAn prati zAntim anugrahanjca kriyAstAM|
4 I give thanks to my God, always making mention of you in my prayers,
prabhuM yIzuM prati sarvvAn pavitralOkAn prati ca tava prEmavizvAsayO rvRttAntaM nizamyAhaM
5 hearing of your love and faith that you have to the Lord Jesus and toward all the holy ones,
prArthanAsamayE tava nAmOccArayan nirantaraM mamEzvaraM dhanyaM vadAmi|
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;
asmAsu yadyat saujanyaM vidyatE tat sarvvaM khrISTaM yIzuM yat prati bhavatIti jnjAnAya tava vizvAsamUlikA dAnazIlatA yat saphalA bhavEt tadaham icchAmi|
7 for we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the yearnings of the holy ones have been refreshed through you, brother.
hE bhrAtaH, tvayA pavitralOkAnAM prANa ApyAyitA abhavan EtasmAt tava prEmnAsmAkaM mahAn AnandaH sAntvanA ca jAtaH|
8 For this reason, having in Christ much boldness to command you that which is fit—
tvayA yat karttavyaM tat tvAm AjnjApayituM yadyapyahaM khrISTEnAtIvOtsukO bhavEyaM tathApi vRddha
9 because of the love I rather plead, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;
idAnIM yIzukhrISTasya bandidAsazcaivambhUtO yaH paulaH sO'haM tvAM vinEtuM varaM manyE|
10 I beg you concerning my child—whom I begot in my bonds—Onesimus,
ataH zRgkhalabaddhO'haM yamajanayaM taM madIyatanayam OnISimam adhi tvAM vinayE|
11 who once was to you unprofitable, and now is profitable to me and to you,
sa pUrvvaM tavAnupakAraka AsIt kintvidAnIM tava mama cOpakArI bhavati|
12 whom I sent again to you—he who is my own heart,
tamEvAhaM tava samIpaM prESayAmi, atO madIyaprANasvarUpaH sa tvayAnugRhyatAM|
13 whom I intended to retain to myself, that in your behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news,
susaMvAdasya kRtE zRgkhalabaddhO'haM paricArakamiva taM svasannidhau varttayitum aicchaM|
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,
kintu tava saujanyaM yad balEna na bhUtvA svEcchAyAH phalaM bhavEt tadarthaM tava sammatiM vinA kimapi karttavyaM nAmanyE|
15 for perhaps because of this he departed for an hour, that you may have him continuously, (aiōnios g166)
kO jAnAti kSaNakAlArthaM tvattastasya vicchEdO'bhavad EtasyAyam abhiprAyO yat tvam anantakAlArthaM taM lapsyasE (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!
puna rdAsamiva lapsyasE tannahi kintu dAsAt zrESThaM mama priyaM tava ca zArIrikasambandhAt prabhusambandhAcca tatO'dhikaM priyaM bhrAtaramiva|
17 If, then, you have fellowship with me, receive him as me,
atO hEtO ryadi mAM sahabhAginaM jAnAsi tarhi mAmiva tamanugRhANa|
18 and if he did hurt to you, or owes anything, charge this to me;
tEna yadi tava kimapyaparAddhaM tubhyaM kimapi dhAryyatE vA tarhi tat mamEti viditvA gaNaya|
19 I, Paul, wrote with my hand, I will repay; besides, that I may not say that you also owe to me yourself.
ahaM tat parizOtsyAmi, Etat paulO'haM svahastEna likhAmi, yatastvaM svaprANAn api mahyaM dhArayasi tad vaktuM nEcchAmi|
20 Yes, brother, may I have profit of you in the LORD; refresh my yearnings in the LORD;
bhO bhrAtaH, prabhOH kRtE mama vAnjchAM pUraya khrISTasya kRtE mama prANAn ApyAyaya|
21 I wrote to you having been confident in your obedience, having known that you will also do above what I may say;
tavAjnjAgrAhitvE vizvasya mayA Etat likhyatE mayA yaducyatE tatO'dhikaM tvayA kAriSyata iti jAnAmi|
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.
tatkaraNasamayE madarthamapi vAsagRhaM tvayA sajjIkriyatAM yatO yuSmAkaM prArthanAnAM phalarUpO vara ivAhaM yuSmabhyaM dAyiSyE mamEti pratyAzA jAyatE|
23 Epaphras greets you (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus),
khrISTasya yIzAH kRtE mayA saha bandiripAphrA
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow-workmen!
mama sahakAriNO mArka AriSTArkhO dImA lUkazca tvAM namaskAraM vEdayanti|
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit! Amen.
