Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon our beloved friend and fellow-laborer,
Neni Paulu, mtatilwa toziya ya Kristu Yesu, nwera pamuhera na Timotewu mlongu muyetu. Tukulembera gwenga Filimoni mtenda lihengu myetu yatukufira,
2 and to the beloved Apphia, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in thy house:
na dada Afiya na Arikipu shonta myetu na Shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu shawaliwona ukaya kwaku.
3 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Tuwafilireni manemu na ponga ya Mlungu Tati gwetu, na kwa Mtuwa Yesu Kristu.
4 I thank my God at all times, making mention of thee in my prayers,
Nonga mayagashii Mlungu shipindi shoseri panukuluwira Filimoni,
5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints;
toziya mpikanira ntambu yagumjimira Mtuwa Yesu na ntambu yaguwafira wantu woseri wa Mlungu.
6 that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us, for Christ Jesus.
Numuluwa Mlungu kakupanani likakala kuwagambira wantu wamonga njimiru yaku su guvimani goseri maheri gatuwera naga kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu.
7 For we have great thankfulness and comfort on account of thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
Ufiru waku unjegera nemeleru nkulu na kuntula moyu toziya gwenga guyinemeziya myoyu ya wantu wa Mlungu.
8 Wherefore, though I have much boldness in Christ to enjoin upon thee that which is befitting,
Su, neni mlongu gwaku kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu, handa hangu weza kuwera na ugangamala kukugambira ntambu yagufiruwa kutenda,
9 yet for love's sake I beseech thee rather; being such a one as Paul an old man, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus,
kumbiti toziya ya mafiliru, nukuluwa hera. Neni Paulu nwera mzewi vinu na mtatirwa toziya ya kumtendera Yesu Kristu,
10 I beseech thee for my child, whom I begot in my bonds, Onesimus;
nukuluwa kwajili ya Onesimu, yakawera gambira mwana gwangu yakamjimira Kristu, nweriti tati gwakuwi gwa shirohu neni panweriti kushibetubetu.
11 who in time past was unprofitable to thee, but is now profitable to thee and to me;
Makashu Onesmu kaweriti shintu ndiri, Kumbiti vinu kawera muntu gwa utanga kwa neni na gwenga vulaa.
12 whom I have sent back; and do thou [[receive]] him, that is, my own flesh.
Vinu numtuma kwagwenga, yomberi ndo moyu gwangu.
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might minister to me in the bonds of the gospel;
Menfiriti kalikali na neni su kantangi lihengu panu kwajili ya mwenga shipindi ashi neni shawera mushibetubetu toziya ya Shisoweru Shiwagira.
14 but I chose to do nothing without thy consent, that thy benefit may be not as from necessity, but willingly.
Nfira ndiri kutenda shoseri pota na gwenga kujimira, su utanga woseri yamgenda kumpanana yomberi, uweri wa kufira maweni.
15 For perhaps he was separated from thee for a season to this end, that thou shouldst receive him back as thine for ever; (aiōnios g166)
Pamonga Onesmu kawukiti kwa gwenga kwa katepu hera, su kawuyi kayi kwagwenga mashaka goseri. (aiōnios g166)
16 no longer as a bond-servant, but above a bond-servant, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more to thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord!
Na vinu yomberi mmanda ndiri kayi, kumbiti kawera kuliku mmanda, yomberi ndo mlongu gwetu. Yatumfira. Kaweri muntu gwa utanga kwaneni na hakaweri muntu gwa utanga nentu kwagwenga, pakawonikana handa ndo muntu muyetu na mlongu Mumtuwa.
17 If thou then regardest me as a partner, receive him as myself.
Handa yaguwona neni kuwera mlongu gwaku su gumwanki Onesmu ntambu yagunangiti neni.
18 And if he wronged thee in anything, or oweth thee, put that to my account.
Handa kakukosera shintu, ama kawera na uwanda kwa gwenga, su neni hanumlipiri.
19 I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it; not to say to thee, that to me thou owest even thy own self besides.
Neni Paulu nemba namweni kwa liwoku lyangu, hanukulipi. Handa hangu gwenga paguwera na uwanda wa ukomu waku kwaneni.
20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.
Mlongu gwangu gutendi hangu kwa kuntanga neni toziya ya litawu lya Mtuwa, handa mlongu gwangu kwa kuwera pamuhera na Kristu, gugufiliziyi moyu gwangu.
21 Having confidence in thy obedience I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say.
Neni nwera na unakaka kuwera nembiti aga, hagutendi nentu ya ganukugambira.
22 And at the same time make ready a lodging for me; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.
Pamuhera na aga, muntandiri shumba sha kugonja toziya Mlungu pakankula ganduwa na neni hanuwatyangiri.
23 Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus,
Epafura, mtatirwa muyangu toziya ya kumtendera Kristu Yesu, kankukulamsiya.
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-laborers, salute thee.
Na ashina Mariku na Alisitariku na Dema na Luka na awa watenda lihengu wayangu, viraa vilii wankukulamusiya.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Manemu ga Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu gaweri pamuhera namwenga.
