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.
Павел, затворик за Христа Исуса и брат Тимотей, до нашия любезен съработник Филимон
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.
и до сестра Апфиния и до нашия сподвижник Архип и до твоята домашна църква:
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.
Благодат и мир да бъде на вас от Бога, нашия Отец и Господа Исуса Христа.
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]
Винаги благодаря на моя Бог, когато те споменавам в молитвите си,
5 and that you continue to trust in the Lord Jesus.
като слушам за твоята любов и за вярата, която имаш към Господа Исуса, и която показваш към всички светии.
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.
Молитствувам щото това общение в твоята вяра да действува така, та да познаят те всичкото добро, което е в нас, за слава на Христа.
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].
Защото съм имал голяма радост и утеха поради твоята любов, понеже сърцата на светиите се освежаваха чрез тебе, брате.
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.
Затова ако имам право с голямо дръзновение в Христа да ти заповядвам това, което подобава,
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].
пак, заради любовта, предпочитам да те моля. Аз прочее, който сам Павел старец, а сега и затворник за Христа Исуса,
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.
ти се моля за моето чадо Онисима ( Значи: Полезен. ), когото родих в оковите си,
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!
който беше някога безполезен на тебе, а сега полезен и на тебе и на мене;
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.
когото ти пращам назад лично, сиреч, самото ми сърце,
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].
Аз бих обичал да го задържа при себе си, да ми слугува вместо тебе, като съм в окови за благовестието;
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.
но без да зная твоето мнение не искам да сторя нищо, за да не бъде твоята добрина като от принуждение, но самоволна.
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)
Защото може-би той да се е отлъчил от тебе за малко време, за да го имаш за винаги, (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.
не вече като слуга, но повече от слуга, като брат, особенно възлюблен на мене, а колкото повече на тебе, и по плът и в Господа!
17 So, if you consider me to be your partner [in God’s work], receive him as you would receive me.
И тъй, ако ме считаш за съдружник, приеми него като мене.
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).
И ако те е в нещо неоправдал, или ти дължи нещо, мини това на моя сметка;
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.
аз, Павел, пиша това с ръката си: Аз ще платя,
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.
Да! брате, нека имам тая печалба от тебе в Господа; освежавай сърцето ми в Христа.
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].
Уверен в твоята послушност; аз ти пиша и зная, че ще сториш повече, отколкото ти казвам.
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.
А между това приготви ми стая, понеже се надавам, че ще ви бъда подарен чрез молитвите ви.
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).
Поздравява те Епафрас, който е затворен с мен заради Христа Исуса,
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).
също и моите съработници Марко, Аристах, Димас и Лука.
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).
Благодатта на нашия Господ Исус Христос да бъде с духа на всички ви. Амин.
