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.
Sevgili emektaşımız Filimon, Mesih İsa uğruna tutuklu olan ben Pavlus ve kardeşimiz Timoteos'tan sana, kızkardeşimiz Afiya'ya, birlikte mücadele verdiğimiz Arhippus'a ve senin evindeki inanlılar topluluğuna selam!
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.
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.
Babamız Tanrı'dan ve Rab İsa Mesih'ten sizlere lütuf ve esenlik olsun.
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]
Rab İsa'ya olan imanını ve bütün kutsallara beslediğin sevgiyi duydukça dualarımda seni anıyor, Tanrım'a sürekli şükrediyorum.
5 and that you continue to trust in the Lord Jesus.
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.
Mesih'te sahip olduğumuz her iyiliğin bilincine vararak imana dayanan paydaşlıkta etkin olman için dua ediyorum.
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].
Sevgin benim için büyük sevinç ve teselli kaynağı oldu. Çünkü kutsalların yürekleri senin sayende ferahladı, kardeşim.
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.
Bu nedenle, gerekeni sana buyurmaya Mesih'te büyük cesaretim olduğu halde, şimdi Mesih İsa uğruna tutuklu bulunan ben yaşlı Pavlus sana sevgiyle rica etmeyi yeğliyorum.
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].
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.
Tutukluluğum sırasında kendisine ruhsal baba olduğum oğlum Onisimos'la ilgili bir ricam var. Bir zamanlar sana yararsızdı; ama şimdi hem sana hem de bana yararlıdır.
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!
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.
Kendisini, yani can ciğerimi sana geri gönderiyorum.
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].
Müjde'nin uğruna tutuklu kaldığım sürece senin yerine bana hizmet etmesi için onu yanımda alıkoymak isterdim; ama senin onayın olmadan bir şey yapmak istemedim. Öyle ki, yapacağın iyilik zorunluluktanmış gibi görünmesin, gönülden olsun.
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.
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)
Onisimos'un bir süre senden ayrılması belki de onu temelli geri alman içindi. (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.
Onu artık köle değil, köleden üstün, sevgili bir kardeş olarak geri alacaksın. O, özellikle benim için çok değerlidir. Ama hem bir insan, hem de Rab'be ait biri olarak senin için daha da çok sevilecek bir kardeştir.
17 So, if you consider me to be your partner [in God’s work], receive him as you would receive me.
Bu nedenle, eğer beni yoldaşın sayıyorsan, kendisini beni kabul eder gibi kabul et.
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).
Sana herhangi bir haksızlık etmişse ya da bir borcu varsa, bunu benim hesabıma say.
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.
Ben Pavlus bunu kendi elimle yazıyorum, bedelini ben öderim. Senin kendi yaşamını bile bana borçlu olduğunu söylememe gerek yok.
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.
Evet, kardeş, Rab yolunda bana bir yardımın olsun. Mesih'te yüreğimi ferahlat.
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].
Sözümü dinleyeceğinden emin olarak ve istediğimden fazlasını da yapacağını bilerek sana yazıyorum.
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.
Bu arada bana kalabileceğim bir yer hazırla. Çünkü dualarınız aracılığıyla sizlere bağışlanacağımı umuyorum.
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).
Mesih İsa uğruna kendisiyle birlikte tutuklu bulunduğum Epafras, emektaşlarım Markos, Aristarhus, Dimas ve Luka sana selam ederler.
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).
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).
Rab İsa Mesih'in lütfu ruhunuzla birlikte olsun.
