Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy [our] brother, to Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellow-laborer,
Pauli, mfungwa ghwa Kristu Yesu ndo ndongo Timoti ghwa Filemoni, ndongobhitu n'ganwa ndo mmbomba mahengu pamonga ni tete,
2 And to [our] beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in thy house:
ni kwa Afia nd'hombo bhitu, ni kwa Arkipas asikari njitu, na mulikanisa lela alibhonana munyumba ya y'obhi.
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Neema iyelayi kway'homo ni amani iyo'homelahi kwa K'yara Dadi ijhitu ni kwa Bwana bhitu Yesu Kiristu.
4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
Muda bhuoha nikambombeysa K'yara. Nikutaja mu bhus'omelu bhuangu.
5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and towards all saints;
Nipeliki uganifu ni imani ya uyenayu mwa Bwana Yesu ndo kwa ndabha ya bhaumini bhoha.
6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
Nis'oma kuya kwa ushirika hwa imani ya muenga iyelahi ni ufanisi mu ujuzi bhwa kila lihengu linofu la liyele mugati mwa tete mu Kiristu.
7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
Kwandahba niyelena nihobhuiki ni fanja kwa ndabha ya uganu bhwa yhobhi, kwa ndabha mit'eema ghiya bhaumini yitulisibhwa nabhi, ndongo.
8 Wherefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient.
H'enu, ndabha njele ni lukakara bhuoha mu Kiristu nikulasimisya bhebhe kuk'heta k'hela kyawibhuwesya kuk'heta,
9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech [thee], being such one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
lakini kwa ndabha ya luganu, badala yiake nikujobhela - nene, Pauli ne n'see na henu nifungibhu kwa ndabha jha Kristu Yesu.
10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
Nikus'homa kwa ndabha jha mwanabhangu Onesmo, yanin'hoguili mu fifungu fya nene.
11 Who in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
Kwa ndabha muandi akakufwayi lepi lakini henu ikufwayi bhebhe ni nene.
12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, my own bowels:
Nintumili- muene ndo wa mu nt'eema bhuangu - kuk'herebhuka kwa bhebhe.
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bonds of the gospel:
Nitarajileghe uyendelelayi kubakila pamonga ni nene, ndo anitumikilayi badala j'ha bhebhe, wakati bhwa yobhi kufungibhwa kwa ndabha j'ha injili.
14 But without thy mind I would do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
Lakini nilondelepi kubhomba lijambo lyolyoha bila ruhusa jha jhobhi. Nabhombi naha ili kwamba lijambo lyolyoha linofu lisibhombeki kwa ndabha nakulasimisi, bali kwa ndabha uganili ghwa muene kukheta.
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldst receive him for ever; (aiōnios g166)
Labda kwa kujha ghwatengibhu nabhi kwa muda, jhajhele naha ili ujhiaghe pamonga ni muene milele. (aiōnios g166)
16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more to thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
Ili kwamba usijhi naku kabhele n'tumwa, bali mbanga jha n'tumwa, kama ndongobhu mpendwa, hasa kwa nene, nesu kwa bhebhe mu mb'ele ni kwa Bwana.
17 If thou accountest me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
Ni kama bhanitolili nene ne mshirika unjamb'elayi kama kya unijhambelili nene.
18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] aught, put that on my account;
Lakini kama akukosili khenu kyokyoha khela, au ukan'dai khenu kyokoha khela, kidayayi ekhu kuhomela kwa nene.
19 I Paul have written [it] with my own hand, I will repay [it]: although I do not say to thee that thou owest to me even thy own self besides.
Nene Paulo, nijhandika kwa kibhoko kyangu ne muene: nene nibetakulepa. Nijobhalepi kwa bhebhe kujha nikudai maisha gha jhobhi nesu.
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
Naam ndongo, lekayi nikabhayi furaha jha Bwana kuhoma kwa bhebhe: uhobhosiajhi muoyo ghwa nene mu Kristu.
21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote to thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
Nikajhelayi ni imani kuhusu utii bhwa bhebhe, nikujhandikila nimanyili kujha wibetakubhomba hata zaidi jha fela fyanikus'oka.
22 But at the same time prepare me also a lodging; for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given to you.
Bhwakati bhobhuobhu jhandalayi kichumba kya bhahesiya kwandabha jha nene, kwa kujha nitumaini kup'etela maombi gha bhebhe nibetakugendela karibuni naha.
23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;
Epafra, mfungwa njangu mu Kristu Yesu ikuponesya,
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow-laborers.
ni kama kyaibhomba Marko, Aristarko, Dema, Luka, bhabhomba mbombo pamonga ni nene.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen.
Neema jha Bwana Yesu Kristu ijhelayi pamonga ni roho jha bhebhe. Amina.
