Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Meshikha Yeshua, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
khrISTasya yIzo rbandidAsaH paulastIthiyanAmA bhrAtA ca priyaM sahakAriNaM philImonaM
2 and to Apphia our sister, to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:
priyAm AppiyAM sahasenAm ArkhippaM philImonasya gRhe sthitAM samitiJca prati patraM likhataH|
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua Meshikha.
asmAkaM tAta IzvaraH prabhu ryIzukhrISTazca yuSmAn prati zAntim anugrahaJca kriyAstAM|
4 I thank 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 of the faith which you have toward the Lord Yeshua, and toward all the saints;
prArthanAsamaye tava nAmoccArayan nirantaraM mamezvaraM dhanyaM vadAmi|
6 that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you in Meshikha.
asmAsu yadyat saujanyaM vidyate tat sarvvaM khrISTaM yIzuM yat prati bhavatIti jJAnAya tava vizvAsamUlikA dAnazIlatA yat saphalA bhavet tadaham icchAmi|
7 For I have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
he bhrAtaH, tvayA pavitralokAnAM prANa ApyAyitA abhavan etasmAt tava premnAsmAkaM mahAn AnandaH sAntvanA ca jAtaH|
8 Therefore, though I have all boldness in Meshikha to command you that which is appropriate,
tvayA yat karttavyaM tat tvAm AjJApayituM yadyapyahaM khrISTenAtIvotsuko bhaveyaM tathApi vRddha
9 yet on the basis of love I rather appeal, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Meshikha Yeshua.
idAnIM yIzukhrISTasya bandidAsazcaivambhUto yaH paulaH so'haM tvAM vinetuM varaM manye|
10 I appeal to you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus,
ataH zRGkhalabaddho'haM yamajanayaM taM madIyatanayam onISimam adhi tvAM vinaye|
11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
sa pUrvvaM tavAnupakAraka AsIt kintvidAnIM tava mama copakArI bhavati|
12 I am sending back to you, him who is my very heart,
tamevAhaM tava samIpaM preSayAmi, ato madIyaprANasvarUpaH sa tvayAnugRhyatAM|
13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
susaMvAdasya kRte zRGkhalabaddho'haM paricArakamiva taM svasannidhau varttayitum aicchaM|
14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
kintu tava saujanyaM yad balena na bhUtvA svecchAyAH phalaM bhavet tadarthaM tava sammatiM vinA kimapi karttavyaM nAmanye|
15 For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever, (aiōnios g166)
ko jAnAti kSaNakAlArthaM tvattastasya vicchedo'bhavad etasyAyam abhiprAyo yat tvam anantakAlArthaM taM lapsyase (aiōnios g166)
16 no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much rather 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 count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
ato heto ryadi mAM sahabhAginaM jAnAsi tarhi mAmiva tamanugRhANa|
18 But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account.
tena yadi tava kimapyaparAddhaM tubhyaM kimapi dhAryyate vA tarhi tat mameti viditvA gaNaya|
19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).
ahaM tat parizotsyAmi, etat paulo'haM svahastena likhAmi, yatastvaM svaprANAn api mahyaM dhArayasi tad vaktuM necchAmi|
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Meshikha.
bho bhrAtaH, prabhoH kRte mama vAJchAM pUraya khrISTasya kRte mama prANAn ApyAyaya|
21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
tavAjJAgrAhitve vizvasya mayA etat likhyate mayA yaducyate tato'dhikaM tvayA kAriSyata iti jAnAmi|
22 Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
tatkaraNasamaye madarthamapi vAsagRhaM tvayA sajjIkriyatAM yato yuSmAkaM prArthanAnAM phalarUpo vara ivAhaM yuSmabhyaM dAyiSye mameti pratyAzA jAyate|
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Meshikha Yeshua, greets you,
khrISTasya yIzAH kRte mayA saha bandiripAphrA
24 as do Markos, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luqa, my fellow workers.
mama sahakAriNo mArka AriSTArkho dImA lUkazca tvAM namaskAraM vedayanti|
25 The grace of the Lord Yeshua Meshikha be with your spirit.
asmAkaM prabho ryIzukhrISTasyAnugraho yuSmAkam AtmanA saha bhUyAt| Amen|
