Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker,
Khritaw Jesuha phäh thawng üng kyumki Pawluh ja mi bena Timoti üngkhyüh — Kami nglawipüi ja khut kami bi püi Philimon ja
2 and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in thy house:
na ima ngkhämkia sangcim ja mi ci Apphia ja ngtuk mi pawh püi Akhipaha veia ni:
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mi Pa Pamhnam ja Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw naw bäkhäknak ja dimdeihnak ning pe se.
4 I thank my God always, making mention of thee in my prayers,
Ka na Philimon naw ka ktaiyüa kcün naküt üng nang ning süm lü Pamhnam veia jenak ka mthehki.
5 hearing of thy love, and of the faith which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;
Pamhnama khyange na jah mhläkphyanak ja Bawi Jesuh üng na taka jumnak ka ngjaka phäh ni.
6 that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you, unto Christ.
Ka ktaiyünak ta mi ngkhawteinak üng jumeikia mi kya akba, Khritaw am mi yümmatnak üng vekia dawkyanak naküt cun akdaw mi ksingnak däm däm vaia kyaki.
7 For I had much joy and comfort in thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.
Ka na aw, na mhläkphyanak naw na jekyaisak lü ngjuktha na pe ve! Nang naw Pamhnama khyangea mlung jah suhne veki.
8 Wherefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to enjoin thee that which is befitting,
Ahina phäha Khritaw üng ka ning na akba kei naw yet lü i pawh vai ti hin ngthu ning mtheh veng.
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:
Isetiakyaküng ning kphya na lü ka ning nghuinak ni. Khritaw Jesuha ngsä, ania phäha tuha kcün üng thawng kyum kei Pawluh naw ka pawh ni.
10 I beseech thee for my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus,
Khritaw üng ka ca, thawng üng ka kyum k'um üng ngmüimkhya lama a na pa naw Onesimasa kcaha ning nghui na veng.
11 who was aforetime unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable to thee and to me:
Ahlana ani cun ia am ngtäh lüpi atuha nang ja keia phäh ani cun summang vai kya ve.
12 whom I have sent back to thee in his own person, that is, my very heart:
Ani am ka mlung ngpüi law lü na veia ka tüih law be ni.
13 whom I would fain have kept with me, that in thy behalf he might minister unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
Thangkdawa phäh thawng üng ka kyum üng nanga kcaha na kuei khaia ka hlawnga a ve vai ka täng kyaw.
14 but without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, but of free will.
Acunsepi, na na kuei vaia käh ka ning sihling na khai, acuna kthaka na titänga na bilawh vai ni ka täng ve. Nang naw am ä xaki lü i pi am pawh veng.
15 For perhaps he was therefore parted [from thee] for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever; (aiōnios g166)
Onesimas cun nang üngkhyüh asäng thuk lü a ve hin na hlawnga akcün tä a ve vaia phäh ni. (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.
Atuha mpya sawxata am kya lü mpyaa kthak dawki Khritaw üng na mhlänaka na naa kyaki ni. Ani cun keia phäh aktäa daw ve! Nanga phäh pi aktäa daw khai ni. Ani cun mpya ja Bawipa üng na na akba salü daw bawk khai ni!
17 If then thou countest me a partner, receive him as myself.
Acunakyase, na na püia na ngaih üngta, kei na na dokhama mäiha ani pi dokham bea.
18 But if he hath wronged thee at all, or oweth [thee] aught, put that to mine account;
Ani naw a ning thung vai am ani üng a ning mkhyenak üngpi ka ning thung vai ta kawm pi.
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.
Kei Pawluh naw ka ning thungkhih khai ti lü ka kut ye am ka yuk law ni: (na sak phäh na je na bä ka ning mtheh vai am hlü khai ni.)
20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my heart in Christ.
Acunakyase, ka na aw, Khritaw üng na bea kba na jesak lü Bawipa phäha ka hmai bük lü ahin hin keia khana pawha.
21 Having confidence in thine obedience I write unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do even beyond what I say.
Ahin ka yuk lawa kba na pawh khaia ka ksingki, ahina kthaka pi na pawh khai tia ka ksingki ni.
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted unto you.
Acuna thea, keia phäh akhan na tak pet bä, isetiakyaküng, Pamhnam naw nami vana ktaiyünak ning jah msak lü na veia ka lawnak vai na pe khai tia ka äpeiki ni.
23 Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus, saluteth thee;
Jesuh Khritawa phäh thawng üng ka kyum püi Epapharah naw ning jah hnukset ve,
24 [and so do] Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workers.
khut ka bipüie Makuh, Aristakhas, Demah ja Luhka naw pi ning hnukset ve u.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa bäkhäknak nami vana khana ve se.
