Philemon 1
1 Paul, prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy my brother, —unto Philemon the beloved, and a fellow worker of ours,
Paul nkongwaa wa Yiisu Kristi, nu lukolo Timoti hwa filemoni, mmanyani nu gane vetu nu mbomba mbombo baninie nufwe.
2 And unto Apphia our sister. And unto Archippus our fellow-soldier, and unto the assembly which meeteth, at thy house:
nu hu ng'ancha vetu Afia, nu hwa Arkipas usihri njetu, nu hu-pelela u-guhwaganita pavujenge waho.
3 Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.
Uluhungu luve huliyomwe nu inonchehecho ulwihuma hwa Nguruve Daada vetu nu Nswambe Yiisu Kristi.
4 I am giving thanks unto my God—always, making mention, of thee, in my prayers,
Emiseke gyone nihosana u Nguruve. Nihohotambula mwu nyesayo njango.
5 Hearing of thy love, and of the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus and towards all the saints, —
Nepulike ulugano nu luhungu uluulenalyo mu Yiisu na avakilisti vone.
6 To the end that, the fellowship of thy faith, may become, energetic, by a personal knowledge of every good thing that is in us towards Christ;
Nihohodova ukuta ulululandamano nu lugano iwenyo five nu hulutelela mbu-jnsi wa inongwa inonu ichili hulyofwe nu Kristi.
7 For, much joy, have I had, and encouragement, by occasion of thy love, in that, the tender affections of the saints, have had rest given them by thee, brother.
U-lwahova nevile nu luhekelo nu luhuvilo ndu gano lwako, hu numbula incha vakilisiti nzivile nchinuna chiwa nuve, lukolo.
8 Wherefore, though I have, much, freedom of speech, in Christ, to be enjoining upon thee that which is befitting,
Lwa hova, neleno wvujima vwoni mwa krisiti nihuhulagila uve ukuvomba ihevuwesya ukuvomba.
9 Yet, for loves sake, I rather exhort, —being, such a one, as Paul the aged, now, also, even a prisoner of Christ Jesus, —
Ulwahova nongwa ya lugano, nihohosimelencha one ne Pau ne gogolo, na leno nelekangwa aji ya Yiisu Krisiti.
10 I exhort thee concerning my own child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, —Onesimus:
Nihohodova hu nwambango Onesmo, yuywa neng'olile pukongwa wango.
11 Him who, at one time, was, unto thee, unserviceable, but, now, unto thee and unto me, serviceable;
U lwahuva pavutengulilo salehwidihana nuve na yone, leno ihwedehana nuve na yone.
12 Whom I have sent back unto thee—him, that is, my own, tender affections!—
Nesuhile umwene uva nu munumbula yango-uhuvuya hulyove.
13 Whom, I, was minded, with myself, to detain, that, in thy behalf, unto me, he might be ministering in the bonds of the joyful message;
Nihuvela uhutale ajige pupaninie nune, ili ambombelage apyanile palyove, asehe vu nele pukongwa hu nongwa ija uvangeili.
14 But, apart from thy mind, I wished to do, nothing, that, not as by necessity, thy goodness should be, but, by choice.
Ulwahova sanenogilwe ukuvomba hyohyoni hesitatavuliwa nuve ne vombile ulwahuva hesikuli ehenu ehenonu ehesahevombike kwa huhomehumelencha, ulwahuva wanogilwe yove uhuvomba.
15 For, peradventure, for this cause, was he separated for an hour, that, as an age-abiding possession, thou mightest have him back, — (aiōnios g166)
Ulwahuva ale patali nuve useke unsupi -yale evo puave nuve amanchova goni. (aiōnios g166)
16 No longer as a servant, but above a servant—a brother beloved, very greatly to me, but, how much rather, to thee—both in the flesh and in the Lord!
Alehe uhuva insuhiwa, ave igane hulyione, nu hulotelela kulovye, mwu mbele na kurudeva.
17 If, therefore, thou holdest me as one in thy fellowship, take him unto thee, as myself;
Inave vuhonolela one pu-kristi, umpokehe ndu alaleihomohela une.
18 And, if he hath wronged thee at all or oweth thee aught, the same, unto me, do thou reckon: —
ingave ukuvipiche ehenu hyohyoni, apange vuhodaya ehenu hyohyoni, udaye ehyo ukuhuma hulyone.
19 I, Paul, have written [it] with, my own, hand, —I, will repay [it]; that I may not tell thee—that, thyself, unto me, thou still owest.
Unene Paul, nisimba ne kevoko kyango yune: one nelahohomba. Saninchora kulyove uhuta ulenukole mu mitamele kyaho gyioni.
20 Yea! brother, I, would, from thee, have help, in the Lord: give rest unto my tender affections in Christ.
Eena lukolo, indeke nupelele luhekelo lwa Nkundeva uhuhome hulyove: uguhovye untema gwango mwa krisiti.
21 Confident of thine obedience, I have written unto thee, knowing that, even beyond what I say, thou wilt do: —
Nengave nu lwedekopa luginio lwako, ihohosimbela vunelomanyile ulavomab nu kuhutelela hu fila ifyonikudova.
22 At the same time, moreover, be also getting ready for me, a lodging; for I am hoping that, through your prayers, I shall be granted as a favour unto you.
Useke gugugwa utesanie eheyumba hya avagenji hya hufikile une, ulwahuva nihovela uhugendela inyesayo nchaho nihuhugendela unseke usupi.
23 There salute thee—Epaphras my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus,
Epafra, onkongwa njango mwa Yiisu Kristi nihohopania.
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, —my fellow-workers.
Ndu umuivomba Malika, Aristarko, Dema, Luka ava vombambombo nune.
25 The favour of the Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit.
Ulusayo lwa Nswambe U Yiisu Kristi luve paninie ne numbula yako. Amen.
