Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Messiah Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
| ܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܤܝܪܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܐܚܐ ܠܦܝܠܡܘܢ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܘܦܠܚܐ ܕܥܡܢ |
2 and to Apphia our sister, to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:
| ܘܠܐܦܝܐ ܚܒܝܒܬܢ ܘܠܐܪܟܝܦܘܤ ܦܠܚܐ ܕܥܡܢ ܘܠܥܕܬܐ ܕܒܒܝܬܟ |
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
| ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
4 I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
| ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܝ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܘܡܬܕܟܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܒܨܠܘܬܝ |
5 hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;
| ܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܫܡܥܬ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟ ܘܚܘܒܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܠܘܬ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܐ |
6 that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you in Messiah.
| ܕܬܗܘܐ ܫܘܬܦܘܬܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܟ ܝܗܒܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܒܥܒܕܐ ܘܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܟܠ ܛܒܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
7 For I have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
| ܚܕܘܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܘܒܘܝܐܐ ܕܒܝܕ ܚܘܒܟ ܐܬܬܢܝܚܘ ܪܚܡܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ |
8 Therefore, though I have all boldness in Messiah to command you that which is appropriate,
| ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܦܪܗܤܝܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܐܦܩܘܕ ܠܟ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܙܕܩܢ |
9 yet on the basis of love I rather appeal, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Messiah Jesus.
| ܡܛܠ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܒܥܐ ܗܘ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܐܢܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܤܒܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
10 I appeal to you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus,
| ܘܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܥܠ ܒܪܝ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܝܠܕܬ ܒܐܤܘܪܝ ܐܢܤܝܡܘܤ |
11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
| ܗܘ ܕܒܙܒܢ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܒܗ ܚܫܚܘ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܟ ܐܦ ܠܝ ܛܒ ܚܫܚ |
12 I am sending back to you, him who is my very heart,
| ܘܫܕܪܬܗ ܠܟ ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܝܠܕܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܗܟܢܐ ܩܒܠܝܗܝ |
13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the gospel.
| ܨܒܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܘܬܝ ܐܚܕܝܘܗܝ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܡܫܡܫ ܠܝ ܚܠܦܝܟ ܒܐܤܘܪܐ ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ |
14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
| ܒܠܥܕ ܡܠܟܟ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܨܒܝܬ ܡܕܡ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܕܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܩܛܝܪܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܛܒܬܟ ܐܠܐ ܒܨܒܝܢܟ |
15 For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever, (aiōnios g166)
| ܟܒܪ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܫܢܝ ܕܫܥܬܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܬܐܚܕܝܘܗܝ (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.
| ܠܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܠܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܐܚܐ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܚܕ ܟܡܐ ܕܝܠܟ ܘܒܒܤܪ ܘܒܡܪܢ |
17 If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
| ܐܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܝܬܝܟ ܠܝ ܫܘܬܦܐ ܩܒܠܝܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܝ |
18 But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account.
| ܘܐܢ ܡܕܡ ܚܤܪܟ ܐܘ ܚܝܒ ܗܕܐ ܥܠܝ ܚܫܘܒ |
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).
| ܐܢܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܟܬܒܬ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܐܢܐ ܦܪܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܟ ܕܐܦ ܢܦܫܟ ܚܝܒ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ |
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Messiah.
| ܐܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܬܢܝܚ ܒܟ ܒܡܪܢ ܐܢܝܚ ܪܚܡܝ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ |
21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
| ܡܛܠ ܕܬܟܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܫܡܥ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܟܬܒܬ ܠܟ ܘܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܡܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ |
22 Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
| ܒܚܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܛܝܒ ܠܝ ܒܝܬ ܡܫܪܝܐ ܡܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܨܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܡܬܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ |
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Messiah Jesus, greets you,
| ܫܐܠ ܒܫܠܡܟ ܐܦܦܪܐ ܫܒܝܐ ܕܥܡܝ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
| ܘܡܪܩܘܤ ܘܐܪܤܛܪܟܘܤ ܘܕܡܐ ܘܠܘܩܐ ܡܥܕܪܢܝ |
25 The grace of the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah be with your spirit.
| ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܡ ܪܘܚܟܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ |
