< Philemon 1 >

1 Paul, a prisoner of Meshikha Yeshua, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
مِنْ بُولُسَ، السَّجِينِ لأَجْلِ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، وَمِنْ الأَخِ تِيمُوثَاوُسَ، إِلَى فِلِيمُونَ الْحَبِيبِ شَرِيكِنَا فِي الْعَمَلِ،١
2 and to Apphia our sister, to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:
وَإِلَى الأُخْتِ أَبْفِيَّةَ، وَرَفِيقِنَا فِي التَّجَنُّدِ أَرْخِيبُّوسَ، وَإِلَى الْكَنِيسَةِ الَّتِي فِي بَيْتِكَ.٢
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua Meshikha.
لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ!٣
4 I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
إِنِّي أَشْكُرُ إِلَهِي، إِذْ أَذْكُرُكَ دَائِماً فِي صَلَوَاتِي،٤
5 hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Yeshua, and toward all the saints;
وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ بِمَا لَكَ مِنْ مَحَبَّةٍ وَأَمَانَةٍ مِنْ نَحْوِ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، وَمِنْ نَحْوِ جَمِيعِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ،٥
6 that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you in Meshikha.
طَالِباً أَنْ يَكُونَ اشْتِرَاكُكَ مَعَنَا فِي الإِيمَانِ فَعَّالاً، فَتُدْرِكَ إِلَى التَّمَامِ مَا فِينَا مِنْ كُلِّ صَلاحٍ لأَجْلِ الْمَسِيحِ.٦
7 For I have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
فَقَدْ كَانَ لِي أَيُّهَا الأَخُ، سُرُورٌ عَظِيمٌ وَتَشْجِيعٌ، بِفَضْلِ مَحَبَّتِكَ، لأَنَّ عَوَاطِفَ الْقِدِّيسِينَ قَدِ انْتَعَشَتْ بِفَضْلِكَ!٧
8 Therefore, though I have all boldness in Meshikha to command you that which is appropriate,
لِذَلِكَ، فَمَعَ أَنَّ لِي كَامِلَ الْحَقِّ فِي الْمَسِيحِ أَنْ آمُرَكَ بِالْوَاجِبِ،٨
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.
إِلّا أَنِّي، إِكْرَاماً لِلْمَحَبَّةِ، اخْتَرْتُ أَنْ أُقَدِّمَ إِلَيْكَ الْتِمَاساً، بِصِفَتِي بُولُسَ الْعَجُوزَ وَالسَّجِينَ حَالِيًّا لأَجْلِ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.٩
10 I appeal to you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus,
فَأَلْتَمِسُ مِنْكَ لأَجْلِ وَلَدِي الَّذِي وَلَدْتُهُ وَأَنَا مُكَبَّلٌ بِالْقُيُودِ، أُونِسِيمُوسَ،١٠
11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
الَّذِي كَانَ فِي الْمَاضِي غَيْرَ نَافِعٍ لَكَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ الآنَ نَافِعٌ لَكَ وَلِي.١١
12 I am sending back to you, him who is my very heart,
فَإِيَّاهُ أَرُدُّ إِلَيْكَ، فَاقْبَلْهُ كَأَنَّهُ فِلْذَةٌ مِنْ كَبِدِي!١٢
13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
وَكُنْتُ رَاغِباً فِي الاحْتِفَاظِ بِهِ لِنَفْسِي، لِكَيْ يَخْدِمَنِي نِيَابَةً عَنْكَ فِي قُيُودِ الإِنْجِيلِ.١٣
14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
وَلكِنِّي لَمْ أُرِدْ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ شَيْئاً مِنْ دُونِ رَأْيِكَ، لِيَكُونَ مَعْرُوفُكَ لَا كَأَنَّهُ عَنِ اضْطِرَارٍ بَلْ عَنِ اخْتِيَارٍ.١٤
15 For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever, (aiōnios g166)
فَرُبَّمَا لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ قَدْ أُبْعِدَ إِلَى حِينٍ: كَيْ تَمْتَلِكَهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، (aiōnios g166)١٥
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.
لَا كَعَبْدٍ فِيمَا بَعْدُ، بَلْ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ، أَخاً حَبِيباً، إِلَيَّ بِخَاصَّةٍ، فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى إِلَيْكَ، فِي الْجَسَدِ وَفِي الرَّبِّ مَعاً؟١٦
17 If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْتَبِرُنِي شَرِيكَكَ، فَاقْبَلْهُ كَأَنَّهُ أَنَا.١٧
18 But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account.
وَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ أَسَاءَ إِلَيْكَ فِي شَيْءٍ، أَوْ كَانَ مَدْيُوناً لَكَ بِشَيْءٍ، فَاحْسِبْ ذَلِكَ دَيْناً عَلَيَّ.١٨
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).
وَهَا أَنَا بُولُسَ قَدْ كَتَبْتُ هَذَا بِخَطِّ يَدِي: أَنَا أُوفِي، وَلَسْتُ أُذَكِّرُكَ هُنَا أَنَّكَ مَدْيُونٌ لِي بِنَفْسِكَ أَيْضاً.١٩
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Meshikha.
نَعَمْ، أَيُّهَا الأَخُ، أَطْلُبُ مِنْكَ أَنْ تَنْفَعَنِي، فِي الرَّبِّ، بِهَذَا الْمَعْرُوفِ: أَنْعِشْ عَوَاطِفِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ٢٠
21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
لَمَّا كُنْتُ وَاثِقاً بِإِطَاعَتِكَ، كَتَبْتُ هَذِهِ الرِّسَالَةَ إِلَيْكَ، عَالِماً أَنَّكَ سَتَفْعَلُ أَيْضاً فَوْقَ مَا أَطْلُبُ.٢١
22 Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
وَفَضْلاً عَنْ هَذَا، أَعِدَّ لِي عِنْدَكَ مَكَاناً لِلإِقَامَةِ، لأَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ أُوهَبَ لَكُمْ إِجَابَةً لِصَلَوَاتِكُمْ.٢٢
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Meshikha Yeshua, greets you,
يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ أَبَفْرَاسُ، رَفِيقُ سِجْنِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ،٢٣
24 as do Markos, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luqa, my fellow workers.
وَكَذَلِكَ مَرْقُسُ، وَأَرِسْتَرْخُسُ، وَدِيمَاسُ، وَلُوقَا زُمَلائِي فِي الْعَمَلِ.٢٤
25 The grace of the Lord Yeshua Meshikha be with your spirit.
وَلْتَكُنْ نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ مَعَ رُوحِكُمْ!٢٥
