Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother: To Philemon our dearly-loved fellow labourer--
Phaawulos isa Kiristoos Yesuusiif jedhee hidhamee fi obboleessa keenya Xiimotewos irraa, Gara Fiilmoonaa isa jaallatamaa fi hojjetaa hidhata keenya taʼe sanaatti;
2 and to our sister Apphia and our comrade Archippus--as well as to the Church in your house.
akkanumas gara obboleettii keenya Aphifiyaatti, gara Arkiphaa isa nu wajjin loltuu taʼeetti, gara waldaa kiristaanaa ishee mana keetti walitti qabamtuuttis:
3 May grace be granted to you all, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa irraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.
4 I give continual thanks to my God while making mention of you, my brother, in my prayers,
Ani yeroo kadhannaa koo keessatti si yaadadhu hunda Waaqa koo nan galateeffadha;
5 because I hear of your love and of the faith which you have towards the Lord Jesus and which you manifest towards all God's people;
ani waaʼee amantii kee kan ati Gooftaa Yesuusitti qabduu fi waaʼee jaalala kee kan ati qulqulloota isaa hundaaf qabduu nan dhagaʼaatii.
6 praying as I do, that their participation in your faith may result in others fully recognizing all the right affection that is in us toward Christ.
Ani akka ati waaʼee waan gaarii nu Kiristoosiin qabnu hundumaa hubannaa guutuu qabaattee amantii kee namaan gaʼuuf jabaattu nan kadhadha.
7 For I have found great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of God's people have been, and are, refreshed through you, my brother.
Yaa obboleessa, waan ati garaa qulqullootaa qabbaneessiteef jaalalli kee gammachuu fi jajjabina guddaa naa kenneera.
8 Therefore, though I might with Christ's authority speak very freely and order you to do what is fitting,
Kanaafuu ani akka ati waan hojjechuu qabdu hojjetu si ajajuuf yoo Kiristoosiin ija jabina qabaadhe illee,
9 it is for love's sake that--instead of that--although I am none other than Paul the aged, and am now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus,
sababii jaalalaatiif cimseen si kadhadha. Egaa ani Phaawulos jaarsichii fi ammas Kiristoos Yesuusiif kanan hidhame,
10 I entreat you on behalf of my own child whose father I have become while in my chains--I mean Onesimus.
ilma koo Oneesimoos isa ani hidhamuu kootiin dhalche sanaaf sin kadhadha.
11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now--true to his name--he is of great use to you and to me.
Inni kanaan dura nama homaa si hin fayyadne ture; amma garuu siifis anaafis nama faayidaa qabu taʼeera.
12 I am sending him back to you, though in so doing I send part of myself.
Ani isa, nama akka garaa kootii sana deebisee gara keetti nan erga.
13 It was my wish to keep him at my side for him to attend to my wants, as your representative, during my imprisonment for the Good News.
Ani yeroon wangeelaaf hidhametti inni iddoo kee buʼee akka na tajaajiluuf of biratti isa hambifachuu barbaadeen ture.
14 Only I wished to do nothing without your consent, so that his kind action of yours might not be done under pressure, but might be a voluntary one.
Ani garuu gaarummaan kee utuu dirqamaan hin taʼin fedhiidhaan akka taʼuuf waanuma tokko illee eeyyama kee malee gochuu hin barbaanne.
15 For perhaps it was for this reason he was parted from you for a time, that you might receive him back wholly and for ever yours; (aiōnios g166)
Tarii inni yeroo gabaabaaf siin gargar baʼuun isaa akka ati deebiftee isa simattee hamma dhumaatti of bira tursituuf taʼa; (aiōnios g166)
16 no longer as a slave, but as something better than a slave--a brother peculiarly dear to me, and even dearer to you, both as a servant and as a fellow Christian.
atis siʼachi akka garbichaatti utuu hin taʼin, akka obboleessa jaallatamaa garbicha caalu tokkootti isa simadhu. Inni keessumattuu erga anaaf akkas jaallatamaa taʼe siif immoo fooniinis Gooftaadhaanis hammam caalaa jaallatamaa haa taʼu ree?
17 If therefore you regard me as a comrade, receive him as if he were I myself.
Egaa ati yoo akka michuu keetiitti na ilaalte akkuma na simatutti isas simadhu.
18 And if he was ever dishonest or is in your debt, debit me with the amount.
Yoo inni waanuma tokkoon illee si yakkee jiraate yookaan ati yoo waanuma tokko illee isa irraa qabaatte natti lakkaaʼi.
19 I Paul write this with my own hand--I will pay you in full. (I say nothing of the fact that you owe me even your own self.)
Ani Phaawulos siifan kaffala jedhee harkuma kootiin barreesseera. Akka ati mataan kee iyyuu kan koo taate ani homaa sitti hin himu.
20 Yes, brother, do me this favour for the Lord's sake. Refresh my heart in Christ.
Egaa yaa obboleessa, ani Gooftaadhaan faayidaa kana sirraa argachuu nan barbaada; Kiristoositti garaa koo naa qabbaneessi.
21 I write to you in the full confidence that you will meet my wishes, for I know you will do even more than I say.
Akka ati waan ani si kadhadhu caalaa naa gootu beekuudhaan ajajamuu kee amanadhee siifan barreessa.
22 And at the same time provide accommodation for me; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be permitted to come to you.
Kana malees ani kadhannaa keessaniin akkan isiniif kennamu waanan abdadhuuf mana boqonnaa naa qopheessi.
23 Greetings to you, my brother, from Epaphras my fellow prisoner for the sake of Christ Jesus;
Ephaafiraan inni Kiristoos Yesuusiif jedhee na wajjin hidhame nagaa siif dhaama.
24 and from Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
Akkasumas warri na wajjin hojjetan Maarqos, Arisxirokoos, Deemaasii fi Luqaas nagaa siif dhaamu.
25 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with the spirit of every one of you.
Ayyaanni Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos hafuura keessan wajjin haa taʼu.
