Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
Phaawulos isa Kiristoos Yesuusiif jedhee hidhamee fi obboleessa keenya Xiimotewos irraa, Gara Fiilmoonaa isa jaallatamaa fi hojjetaa hidhata keenya taʼe sanaatti;
2 to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
akkanumas gara obboleettii keenya Aphifiyaatti, gara Arkiphaa isa nu wajjin loltuu taʼeetti, gara waldaa kiristaanaa ishee mana keetti walitti qabamtuuttis:
3 Grace to you 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 thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
Ani yeroo kadhannaa koo keessatti si yaadadhu hunda Waaqa koo nan galateeffadha;
5 hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
ani waaʼee amantii kee kan ati Gooftaa Yesuusitti qabduu fi waaʼee jaalala kee kan ati qulqulloota isaa hundaaf qabduu nan dhagaʼaatii.
6 that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.
Ani akka ati waaʼee waan gaarii nu Kiristoosiin qabnu hundumaa hubannaa guutuu qabaattee amantii kee namaan gaʼuuf jabaattu nan kadhadha.
7 For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
Yaa obboleessa, waan ati garaa qulqullootaa qabbaneessiteef jaalalli kee gammachuu fi jajjabina guddaa naa kenneera.
8 Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
Kanaafuu ani akka ati waan hojjechuu qabdu hojjetu si ajajuuf yoo Kiristoosiin ija jabina qabaadhe illee,
9 yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
sababii jaalalaatiif cimseen si kadhadha. Egaa ani Phaawulos jaarsichii fi ammas Kiristoos Yesuusiif kanan hidhame,
10 I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains,
ilma koo Oneesimoos isa ani hidhamuu kootiin dhalche sanaaf sin kadhadha.
11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful 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. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
Ani isa, nama akka garaa kootii sana deebisee gara keetti nan erga.
13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
Ani yeroon wangeelaaf hidhametti inni iddoo kee buʼee akka na tajaajiluuf of biratti isa hambifachuu barbaadeen ture.
14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
Ani garuu gaarummaan kee utuu dirqamaan hin taʼin fedhiidhaan akka taʼuuf waanuma tokko illee eeyyama kee malee gochuu hin barbaanne.
15 For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever, (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 more than a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
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 then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
Egaa ati yoo akka michuu keetiitti na ilaalte akkuma na simatutti isas simadhu.
18 But if he has wronged you at all or owes you anything, put that to my account.
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 repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).
Ani Phaawulos siifan kaffala jedhee harkuma kootiin barreesseera. Akka ati mataan kee iyyuu kan koo taate ani homaa sitti hin himu.
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
Egaa yaa obboleessa, ani Gooftaadhaan faayidaa kana sirraa argachuu nan barbaada; Kiristoositti garaa koo naa qabbaneessi.
21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
Akka ati waan ani si kadhadhu caalaa naa gootu beekuudhaan ajajamuu kee amanadhee siifan barreessa.
22 Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
Kana malees ani kadhannaa keessaniin akkan isiniif kennamu waanan abdadhuuf mana boqonnaa naa qopheessi.
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
Ephaafiraan inni Kiristoos Yesuusiif jedhee na wajjin hidhame nagaa siif dhaama.
24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
Akkasumas warri na wajjin hojjetan Maarqos, Arisxirokoos, Deemaasii fi Luqaas nagaa siif dhaamu.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Ayyaanni Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos hafuura keessan wajjin haa taʼu.
