Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker,
Ri Pablo, tzꞌapil pa cheꞌ rumal ri Cristo Jesús, xuqujeꞌ ri alaxik Timoteo, che ri loqꞌalaj Filemón, toꞌl qe,
2 and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in thy house:
xuqujeꞌ che ri alaxik Apia, ri alaxik Arquipo, e qachiꞌl pa ri chꞌoꞌj, xuqujeꞌ ri komontyox ri kakimulij kibꞌ cho awachoch:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Toqꞌobꞌ, jaꞌmaril rech ri qaDios Tataxel xuqujeꞌ rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo chiꞌwe.
4 I thank my God always, making mention of thee in my prayers,
Kintyoxin che ri Dios, amaqꞌel katnaꞌtaj chwe pa ri nuchꞌawem.
5 hearing of thy love, and of the faith which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;
Rumal cher nutom ri aloqꞌanik xuqujeꞌ ri akojobꞌal ri kꞌo che ri Ajawxel Jesús, xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ konojel ri tyoxalaj taq winaq.
6 that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you, unto Christ.
Kinta che ri Dios chi ri riqoj ibꞌ ri kakꞌiy pa ri akojobꞌal, qas kꞌo kutayij pa Cristo, rumal rech ri etaꞌmanik rech ri utzilal, ri qetaꞌmam junam awukꞌ.
7 For I had much joy and comfort in thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.
Rumal cher kꞌo qakiꞌkotemal xuqujeꞌ kuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx pa ri aloqꞌanik, rumal cher ri tyoxalaj taq winaq xkikꞌamawaꞌj kichuqꞌabꞌ rumal awe.
8 Wherefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting,
Rumal riꞌ, pune pa Cristo kinkwinik kintaqan paꞌwiꞌ, rech kabꞌan ri rajawaxik kabꞌano,
9 yet for love’s sake I rather beseech, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now a prisoner also of Christ Jesus:
xa kinta toqꞌobꞌ chawe pa ri loqꞌanik. In in Pablo, in nima winaq chik, xuqujeꞌ in tzꞌapital pa cheꞌ rumal rech ri Cristo Jesús,
10 I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus,
kinta chawe puꞌwiꞌ ri nukꞌojol Onésimo, ri xux nukꞌojol are in tzꞌapital pa cheꞌ.
11 who was aforetime unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me:
Ojer maj kutayij waꞌ chawe, kamik kꞌut kꞌo kutayij chawe at xuqujeꞌ chwe in.
12 whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart:
Kintaq bꞌik rech katzalij awukꞌ, chakꞌamawaꞌj kꞌut, je ta ne tzi in kinopan awukꞌ.
13 whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
Are ta ne kawaj in kakanaj wukꞌ che akꞌaxel rech kinupatanij pa we cheꞌ ri in tzꞌapital wi rumal re ri utz laj tzij.
14 but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will.
Man xwaj ta kꞌut xinbꞌan jun jastaq ri man awetaꞌm taj, rech man kabꞌantaj rumal cher in kinbꞌinik xane are ri qas kape pa awanimaꞌ.
15 For perhaps he was therefore parted [from thee] for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever; (aiōnios g166)
Wine rumal waꞌ xel loq awukꞌ najtir, rech kamik kakꞌamawaꞌj amaqꞌel. (aiōnios g166)
16 no longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much rather to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
Man kakꞌamawaꞌj taj jacha jun patanil awe, xane chakꞌamawaꞌj jeꞌ jas jun loqꞌalaj alaxik, sibꞌalaj nim ubꞌanik chinuwach in, nim ubꞌanik chawach at rumal cher jun winaq xuqujeꞌ jun alaxik pa ri Ajawxel.
17 If then thou countest me a partner, receive him as myself.
Xaq jeriꞌ, we in awachiꞌl, chakꞌamawaꞌj tzi jacha ta ne ri in.
18 But if he hath wronged thee at all, or oweth [thee] aught, put that to mine account;
We ubꞌanom jun kꞌax chawe o kꞌo ukꞌas awukꞌ, chaya pa ri nukwenta.
19 I Paul write it with mine own hand, I will repay it: that I say not unto thee how that thou owest to me even thine own self besides.
In in Pablo, rukꞌ ri nuqꞌabꞌ kintzꞌibꞌaj: Kintoj na chawe, naꞌtaj chawe chi kꞌo akꞌas wukꞌ che ri katux kamik.
20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ.
Jeꞌ wachalal, chikinkꞌamawaꞌj jun toqꞌobꞌ chawe at. Chaya uchuqꞌabꞌ ri wanimaꞌ pa Cristo.
21 Having confidence in thine obedience I write unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do even beyond what I say.
Xintzꞌibꞌaj bꞌi waꞌ chawe, kuꞌl na kꞌuꞌx chi katnimanik, xuqujeꞌ wetaꞌm chi kꞌo na ri kabꞌano choch ri kinta chawe.
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted unto you.
Xuqujeꞌ chasukꞌumaj apanoq ri ja ri kineꞌkꞌol wi, rumal cher kuꞌl na kꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios kinopan chi na iwukꞌ, rumal ri ichꞌawem.
23 Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, saluteth thee;
Kakitaq rutzil awach ri Epafras, wachiꞌl pa Cristo Jesús, uj kꞌo pa cheꞌ,
24 [and so do] Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers.
xuqujeꞌ ri Marcos, ri Aristarco, ri Demas, ri Lucas, e toꞌl taq we.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Are ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, kakanaj kan pa awanimaꞌ. Jeriꞌ.
