Philemon 1
1 [I], Paul, am a prisoner [who serves] Christ Jesus. [I am here] with Timothy, our fellow believer. [I am writing this letter] to [you], Philemon, our dear [friend] and fellow worker.
१पौलुस की ओर से जो मसीह यीशु का कैदी है, और भाई तीमुथियुस की ओर से हमारे प्रिय सहकर्मी फिलेमोन,
2 [I am also writing] to [your wife], Apphia, and to Archippus, [who is like] [MET] our fellow soldier [because he serves Christ steadfastly together with us]. I am also [writing this] to the congregation [that meets/gathers] in your [(sg)] house.
२और बहन अफफिया, और हमारे साथी योद्धा अरखिप्पुस और फिलेमोन के घर की कलीसिया के नाम।
3 [I pray that] God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ [will continue to] act kindly toward you all and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.
३हमारे पिता परमेश्वर और प्रभु यीशु मसीह की ओर से अनुग्रह और शान्ति तुम्हें मिलती रहे।
4 I always thank my God when I pray for you [(sg)], because I hear [people say that] you love all God’s people [CHI]
४मैं सदा परमेश्वर का धन्यवाद करता हूँ; और अपनी प्रार्थनाओं में भी तुझे स्मरण करता हूँ।
5 and that you continue to trust in the Lord Jesus.
५क्योंकि मैं तेरे उस प्रेम और विश्वास की चर्चा सुनकर, जो प्रभु यीशु पर और सब पवित्र लोगों के साथ है।
6 I pray that as a result of your knowing all the good things [that God/Christ has done for] us, you may (be effective/influence many others) as you tell others what you believe, in order that [they may honor] Christ.
६मैं प्रार्थना करता हूँ कि, विश्वास में तुम्हारी सहभागिता हर अच्छी बात के ज्ञान के लिए प्रभावी हो जो मसीह में हमारे पास है।
7 I have rejoiced greatly and have been greatly encouraged because you, my dear friend, have acted lovingly toward God’s people by encouraging them [SYN].
७क्योंकि हे भाई, मुझे तेरे प्रेम से बहुत आनन्द और शान्ति मिली है, इसलिए, कि तेरे द्वारा पवित्र लोगों के मन हरे भरे हो गए हैं।
8 So [I have a request/favor to ask of you]. I am completely confident [that I have authority] to command you [to do] what you ought to do, because [I am an apostle of] Christ.
८इसलिए यद्यपि मुझे मसीह में बड़ा साहस है, कि जो बात ठीक है, उसकी आज्ञा तुझे दूँ।
9 But because [I know that you] love [God’s people], I request this instead of [commanding you to do it]. It is I, Paul, an old man and now also a prisoner [because I serve] Christ Jesus, [who am requesting it].
९तो भी मुझ बूढ़े पौलुस को जो अब मसीह यीशु के लिये कैदी हूँ, यह और भी भला जान पड़ा कि प्रेम से विनती करूँ।
10 I request that you [do something] for someone [who has become like] my own son [because I told him about Christ] [MET] while [I have been] a prisoner [MTY] [here. His name is] Onesimus.
१०मैं अपने बच्चे उनेसिमुस के लिये जो मुझसे मेरी कैद में जन्मा है तुझ से विनती करता हूँ।
11 Although [his name, as you know, means ‘useful’], formerly he was useless to you. But now he is useful both to you and to me!
११वह तो पहले तेरे कुछ काम का न था, पर अब तेरे और मेरे दोनों के बड़े काम का है।
12 Although (he is [as dear to me as/I love him as much as I love]) [MET] my own self [MTY], I am sending him back to you.
१२उसी को अर्थात् जो मेरे हृदय का टुकड़ा है, मैंने उसे तेरे पास लौटा दिया है।
13 I would like to have kept him with me, in order that he might serve me on your behalf, while I am a prisoner [MTY] [because of my preaching] the message [about Christ].
१३उसे मैं अपने ही पास रखना चाहता था कि वह तेरी ओर से इस कैद में जो सुसमाचार के कारण है, मेरी सेवा करे।
14 Nevertheless, because [I had not yet asked you and] you had not yet permitted me [to keep him here with me], I decided not to [keep him here. I decided that I should] not do anything without your permitting it. [I decided that you should help me only if you] really want to help me.
१४पर मैंने तेरी इच्छा बिना कुछ भी करना न चाहा कि तेरा यह उपकार दबाव से नहीं पर आनन्द से हो।
15 Perhaps the reason that [God permitted] Onesimus to be separated from {to leave} you for a little while was that [he would believe in Christ, and as a result] you would have him (back/with you) forever! (aiōnios g166)
१५क्योंकि क्या जाने वह तुझ से कुछ दिन तक के लिये इसी कारण अलग हुआ कि सदैव तेरे निकट रहे। (aiōnios g166)
16 [You will no longer have him only] as a slave. Instead, [you will have him] as [someone who is] more than a slave. [You will have him] as a fellow believer! He is especially dear to me, but he certainly will be more dear to you [than he is to me] (OR, I love him very much, but you will certainly love him more than I do), [because now he] not only belongs to you but he also belongs to the Lord.
१६परन्तु अब से दास के समान नहीं, वरन् दास से भी उत्तम, अर्थात् भाई के समान रहे जो मेरा तो विशेष प्रिय है ही, पर अब शरीर में और प्रभु में भी, तेरा भी विशेष प्रिय हो।
17 So, if you consider me to be your partner [in God’s work], receive him as you would receive me.
१७यदि तू मुझे अपना सहभागी समझता है, तो उसे इस प्रकार ग्रहण कर जैसे मुझे।
18 If he has wronged you in any manner or if he owes you anything, (charge that to me/tell me so that I can pay you).
१८और यदि उसने तेरी कुछ हानि की है, या उस पर तेरा कुछ आता है, तो मेरे नाम पर लिख ले।
19 I, Paul, am now writing this in my own handwriting: I will repay you what he owes you, although I might mention to you that you owe me even more than Onesimus may owe you, because it was the result of my telling you about Christ that God saved you.
१९मैं पौलुस अपने हाथ से लिखता हूँ, कि मैं आप भर दूँगा; और इसके कहने की कुछ आवश्यकता नहीं, कि मेरा कर्ज जो तुझ पर है वह तू ही है।
20 (Yes/I say it again), my dear friend, because you and I both have a relationship with the Lord, I want you to do this for me. Encourage me [SYN] [by receiving Onesimus kindly, just like you encourage others who believe] in Christ.
२०हे भाई, यह आनन्द मुझे प्रभु में तेरी ओर से मिले, मसीह में मेरे जी को हरा भरा कर दे।
21 I have written [this letter] to you, confident that you will do what I am requesting you to [do]. [In fact], I know that you will do even more than what I am requesting [you to do].
२१मैं तेरे आज्ञाकारी होने का भरोसा रखकर, तुझे लिखता हूँ और यह जानता हूँ, कि जो कुछ मैं कहता हूँ, तू उससे कहीं बढ़कर करेगा।
22 Also, keep a guest room ready for me [to stay in], because I confidently expect that as a result of your prayers [for me, I] will be released [from prison and will come] to you all.
२२और यह भी, कि मेरे लिये ठहरने की जगह तैयार रख; मुझे आशा है, कि तुम्हारी प्रार्थनाओं के द्वारा मैं तुम्हें दे दिया जाऊँगा।
23 Epaphras, who is [suffering] with me in prison because of [his serving] Christ Jesus, (sends his greetings to you/wants you to know that he is thinking fondly about you).
२३इपफ्रास जो मसीह यीशु में मेरे साथ कैदी है
24 Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, who are my [other] fellow workers, also (send their greetings to you/want you to know that they are thinking fondly about you).
२४और मरकुस और अरिस्तर्खुस और देमास और लूका जो मेरे सहकर्मी हैं; इनका तुझे नमस्कार।
25 [I pray that] the Lord Jesus Christ [will] ([continue to] work kindly in all your lives/kindly keep accomplishing what he desires within you).
२५हमारे प्रभु यीशु मसीह का अनुग्रह तुम्हारी आत्मा पर होता रहे। आमीन।
