Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
Pauli, mfungwa ghwa Kristu Yesu ndo ndongo Timoti ghwa Filemoni, ndongobhitu n'ganwa ndo mmbomba mahengu pamonga ni tete,
2 and to Apphia our sister, to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:
ni kwa Afia nd'hombo bhitu, ni kwa Arkipas asikari njitu, na mulikanisa lela alibhonana munyumba ya y'obhi.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Neema iyelayi kway'homo ni amani iyo'homelahi kwa K'yara Dadi ijhitu ni kwa Bwana bhitu Yesu Kiristu.
4 I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
Muda bhuoha nikambombeysa K'yara. Nikutaja mu bhus'omelu bhuangu.
5 hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;
Nipeliki uganifu ni imani ya uyenayu mwa Bwana Yesu ndo kwa ndabha ya bhaumini bhoha.
6 that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you in Christ.
Nis'oma kuya kwa ushirika hwa imani ya muenga iyelahi ni ufanisi mu ujuzi bhwa kila lihengu linofu la liyele mugati mwa tete mu Kiristu.
7 For I have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
Kwandahba niyelena nihobhuiki ni fanja kwa ndabha ya uganu bhwa yhobhi, kwa ndabha mit'eema ghiya bhaumini yitulisibhwa nabhi, ndongo.
8 Therefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
H'enu, ndabha njele ni lukakara bhuoha mu Kiristu nikulasimisya bhebhe kuk'heta k'hela kyawibhuwesya kuk'heta,
9 yet on the basis of love I rather appeal, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Christ Jesus.
lakini kwa ndabha ya luganu, badala yiake nikujobhela - nene, Pauli ne n'see na henu nifungibhu kwa ndabha jha Kristu Yesu.
10 I appeal to you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus,
Nikus'homa kwa ndabha jha mwanabhangu Onesmo, yanin'hoguili mu fifungu fya nene.
11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
Kwa ndabha muandi akakufwayi lepi lakini henu ikufwayi bhebhe ni nene.
12 I am sending back to you, him who is my very heart,
Nintumili- muene ndo wa mu nt'eema bhuangu - kuk'herebhuka kwa bhebhe.
13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
Nitarajileghe uyendelelayi kubakila pamonga ni nene, ndo anitumikilayi badala j'ha bhebhe, wakati bhwa yobhi kufungibhwa kwa ndabha j'ha injili.
14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
Lakini nilondelepi kubhomba lijambo lyolyoha bila ruhusa jha jhobhi. Nabhombi naha ili kwamba lijambo lyolyoha linofu lisibhombeki kwa ndabha nakulasimisi, bali kwa ndabha uganili ghwa muene kukheta.
15 For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever, (aiōnios g166)
Labda kwa kujha ghwatengibhu nabhi kwa muda, jhajhele naha ili ujhiaghe pamonga ni muene milele. (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.
Ili kwamba usijhi naku kabhele n'tumwa, bali mbanga jha n'tumwa, kama ndongobhu mpendwa, hasa kwa nene, nesu kwa bhebhe mu mb'ele ni kwa Bwana.
17 If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
Ni kama bhanitolili nene ne mshirika unjamb'elayi kama kya unijhambelili nene.
18 But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account.
Lakini kama akukosili khenu kyokyoha khela, au ukan'dai khenu kyokoha khela, kidayayi ekhu kuhomela kwa nene.
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).
Nene Paulo, nijhandika kwa kibhoko kyangu ne muene: nene nibetakulepa. Nijobhalepi kwa bhebhe kujha nikudai maisha gha jhobhi nesu.
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
Naam ndongo, lekayi nikabhayi furaha jha Bwana kuhoma kwa bhebhe: uhobhosiajhi muoyo ghwa nene mu Kristu.
21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
Nikajhelayi ni imani kuhusu utii bhwa bhebhe, nikujhandikila nimanyili kujha wibetakubhomba hata zaidi jha fela fyanikus'oka.
22 Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
Bhwakati bhobhuobhu jhandalayi kichumba kya bhahesiya kwandabha jha nene, kwa kujha nitumaini kup'etela maombi gha bhebhe nibetakugendela karibuni naha.
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
Epafra, mfungwa njangu mu Kristu Yesu ikuponesya,
24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
ni kama kyaibhomba Marko, Aristarko, Dema, Luka, bhabhomba mbombo pamonga ni nene.
25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Neema jha Bwana Yesu Kristu ijhelayi pamonga ni roho jha bhebhe. Amina.
