Philemon 1
1 Poul, the boundun of Crist Jhesu, and Timothe, brother, to Filemon, bilouyd, and oure helpere, and to Appia,
Paulo, mfungwa wa Kristo Yesu, pamoja na Timotheo ndugu yetu: Kwa Filemoni rafiki yetu mpendwa na mtendakazi mwenzetu,
2 most dere sister, and to Archip, oure euene kniyt, and to the chirche that is in thin hous,
kwa dada yetu mpendwa Afia, kwa Arkipo askari mwenzetu na kwa kanisa lile likutanalo nyumbani mwako:
3 grace be to you, and pees of God oure fader, and of the Lord Jhesu Crist.
Neema iwe nanyi na amani itokayo kwa Mungu Baba yetu na Bwana Yesu Kristo.
4 I do thankingis to my God, euere more makinge mynde of thee in my preieris,
Siku zote ninamshukuru Mungu ninapokukumbuka katika maombi yangu,
5 heringe thi charite and feith, that thou hast in the Lord Jhesu, and to alle hooli men,
kwa sababu ninasikia juu ya imani yako katika Bwana Yesu na upendo wako kwa watakatifu wote.
6 that the comynyng of thi feith be maad opyn, in knowing of al good thing in Crist Jhesu.
Naomba utiwe nguvu katika kuishuhudia imani yako, ili upate kuwa na ufahamu mkamilifu juu ya kila kitu chema tulicho nacho ndani ya Kristo.
7 And Y hadde greet ioye and coumfort in thi charite, for the entrailis of hooli men restiden bi thee, brother.
Upendo wako umenifurahisha mno na kunitia moyo, kwa sababu wewe ndugu, umeiburudisha mioyo ya watakatifu.
8 For which thing Y hauynge myche trist in Crist Jhesu, to comaunde to thee that that perteyneth to profit;
Hata hivyo, ingawa katika Kristo ningeweza kuwa na ujasiri na kukuagiza yale yakupasayo kutenda,
9 but Y biseche more for charite, sithen thou art siche as the elde Poul, and now the boundun of Jhesu Crist.
lakini ninakuomba kwa upendo, mimi Paulo, mzee na pia sasa nikiwa mfungwa wa Kristo Yesu,
10 Y biseche thee for my sone Onesyme, whom Y in boondis bigat,
nakuomba kwa ajili ya mwanangu Onesimo, aliyefanyika mwanangu nilipokuwa kwenye minyororo.
11 which sumtyme was vnprofitable to thee, but now profitable bothe to thee and to me; whom Y sente ayen to thee.
Mwanzoni alikuwa hakufai, lakini sasa anakufaa sana wewe na mimi pia.
12 And resseyue thou hym as myn entrailis;
Namtuma kwako, yeye aliye moyo wangu hasa.
13 whom Y wolde withholde with me, that he schulde serue for thee to me in boondis of the gospel;
Ningependa nikae naye ili ashike nafasi yako ya kunisaidia wakati huu nikiwa kifungoni kwa ajili ya Injili.
14 but with out thi counseil Y wolde not do ony thing, that thi good schulde not be as of nede, but wilful.
Lakini sikutaka kufanya lolote bila idhini yako, ili wema wowote uufanyao usiwe wa lazima, bali wa hiari.
15 For perauenture therfor he departide fro thee for a tyme, that thou schuldist resseyue hym with outen ende; (aiōnios g166)
Huenda sababu ya yeye kutengwa nawe kwa kitambo kidogo ni ili uwe naye daima. (aiōnios g166)
16 now not as a seruaunt, but for a seruaunt a most dere brother, most to me; and how myche more to thee, bothe in fleisch and in the Lord?
Si kama mtumwa, bali bora kuliko mtumwa, kama ndugu mpendwa. Yeye ni mpendwa sana kwangu na hata kwako zaidi, yeye kama mwanadamu na kama ndugu katika Bwana.
17 Therfor if thou hast me a felowe, resseyue hym as me; for if he hath ony thing anoied thee,
Hivyo kama unanihesabu mimi kuwa mshirika wako, mkaribishe kama vile ungenikaribisha mimi mwenyewe.
18 ethir owith, arette thou this thing to me.
Kama amekukosea lolote au kama unamdai chochote, nidai mimi.
19 Y Poul wroot with myn hoond, Y schal yelde; that Y seie not to thee, that also thou owist to me thi silf.
Ni mimi Paulo, ninayeandika waraka huu kwa mkono wangu mwenyewe. Nitakulipa. Sitaji kwamba nakudai hata nafsi yako.
20 So, brothir, Y schal vse thee in the Lord; fille thou myn entrails in Crist.
Ndugu yangu, natamani nipate faida kwako katika Bwana, uuburudishe moyo wangu katika Kristo.
21 Y tristnynge of thin obedience wroot to thee, witynge that thou schalt do ouer that that Y seie.
Nikiwa na hakika ya utii wako, nakuandikia, nikijua kwamba utafanya hata zaidi ya yale ninayokuomba.
22 Also make thou redi to me an hous to dwelle in; for Y hope that bi youre preyeris Y schal be youun to you.
Jambo moja zaidi: Niandalie chumba cha wageni, kwa kuwa nataraji kurudishwa kwenu kama jibu la maombi yenu.
23 Epafras, prisoner with me in Crist Jhesu,
Epafra, aliye mfungwa mwenzangu katika Kristo Yesu, anakusalimu.
24 greetith thee wel, and Mark, Aristark, Demas, Lucas, myn helperis.
Vivyo hivyo Marko, Aristarko, Dema na Luka, watendakazi wenzangu wanakusalimu.
25 The grace of oure Lord Jhesu Crist be with youre spirit. Amen.
Neema ya Bwana Yesu Kristo iwe pamoja na roho zenu. Amen.
