< Philemon 1 >
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker,
ᎠᏴ, ᏉᎳ, ᏥᏴᎩ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎩᏍᏛᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏗᎹᏗ ᎢᎩᏅᏟ, ᏫᏍᏛᏲᏪᎳᏏ ᏆᎵᎹᏂ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎢᏍᏛᎨᏳᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏠᏱ ᏗᎩᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎯ,
2 and Apphia the beloved, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and the assembly in thy house:
ᎠᎴ ᎢᏍᏛᎨᏳᎢ ᎠᏈᏯ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎩᏆ, ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᎢᏗᏩᏫᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗᎤᎾᏓᏈᎬ ᎯᏁᎸᎢ;
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

4 I give thanks to my God, always making mention of thee in my prayers,
ᏥᏯᎵᎡᎵᏤᎰ ᎠᏆᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎬᏁᎢᏍᏗᏍᎪ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎦᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ,
5 hearing of thy love and faith that thou hast unto the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
ᎦᏛᎩᏍᎬ ᏣᏓᎨᏳᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏦᎯᏳᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᎨᏳᎭ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏥᏌ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏂᎥ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ ᏥᏕᎯᎨᏳᎭ;
6 that the fellowship of thy faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that [is] in you toward Christ Jesus;
ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᏤᎳᏗᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏱᏂᎬᏂᏒ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏱᏂᎦᎵᏍᏓ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏥᏯᎥᎢ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᏍᎬᎢ.
7 for we have much joy and comfort in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.
ᎤᏣᏘᏰᏃ ᎤᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗ ᎣᎨᎭ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎦᎵᏍᏗ ᎠᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏣᏓᎨᏳᏒ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᏛᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ ᏧᏂᎾᏫ ᏕᎯᎦᎵᏍᏓᏕᎲᎢ, ᎥᎩᏅᏟ.
8 Wherefore, having in Christ much boldness to command thee that which is fit —
ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎤᏣᏘ ᎠᎩᎭ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎩᏁᎸᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏁᏤᎲ ᏥᏚᏳᎪᏗ ᎢᏣᏛᏁᏗᏱ;
9 because of the love I rather entreat, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;
ᎠᏎᏃ ᏍᎩᎨᏳᎯᏳ ᎨᏒ ᏅᏗᎦᎵᏍᏙᏗᎭ ᎤᏟ ᏥᏰᎸᏍᎦ ᎬᏍᏗᏰᏙᏗᏱ, ᏉᎳ ᎤᏛᏐᏅᎯ ᎢᏯᏆᏍᏗ ᏥᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎪᎯ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏴᎩ, ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎩᏍᏛᏗᏍᎬᎢ.
10 I entreat thee concerning my child — whom I did beget in my bonds — Onesimus,
ᎬᏍᏗᏰᏗᎭ ᎠᏇᏥ ᎣᏂᏏᎹ ᎤᎬᏩᎵ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎥᏆᎸᎢᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎠᏆᏕᏁᎸᎯ ᏥᎩ.
11 who once was to thee unprofitable, and now is profitable to me and to thee,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏧᏩᎫᏔᏅᏒ ᏂᏣᏍᏕᎵᏍᎬᎾ ᏥᎨᏒᎩ, ᎪᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᏥᎩ ᏣᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏴ ᎠᎩᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ;
12 whom I did send again, and thou him (that is, my own bowels) receive,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏔᎵᏁ ᎥᏥᏅᎵ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏂᎯ ᏕᎯᏯᏓᏂᎸᏨᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏋᏒ ᎠᎩᎾᏫ ᏥᎩ.
13 whom I did wish to retain to myself, that in thy behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏆᏚᎵᏍᎬᎩ ᏥᏯᎧᎯᏯᏍᏗᏱ ᎠᏂ ᎨᏙᎲᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏂᎯ ᏍᎩᏍᏕᎸᎯᏓᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎩᏍᏕᎸᎯᏓᏍᏗᏱ ᎥᏆᎸᎢᏛ ᎨᏒ ᎣᏍᏛ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎠᎩᏍᏛᏗᏍᎬᎢ;
14 and apart from thy mind I willed to do nothing, that as of necessity thy good deed may not be, but of willingness,
ᎠᏎᏃ ᏂᎯ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏂᏣᏰᎸᏅᎾ ᎥᏝ ᏯᏆᏚᎸᎮ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎠᏆᏛᏁᏗᏱ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏍᏛ ᏂᏍᏆᏛᏁᎲ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏣᏰᎸᏅ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᎢᏳᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ, ᎥᏝᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏎ ᎢᏣᏛᏁᏗᏱ ᏂᏣᎵᏍᏓᏁᎲᎢ.
15 for perhaps because of this he did depart for an hour, that age-duringly thou mayest have him, (aiōnios )
ᎾᏍᎩᏰᏃ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏱᎩ ᏞᎦ ᏳᏓᏅᏒ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏘᏯᏓᏂᎸᎢᏍᏗ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎤᏕᏗᏱ. (aiōnios )
16 no more as a servant, but above a servant — a brother beloved, especially to me, and how much more to thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord!
ᎥᏝ ᎿᎭᏉ ᎠᏥᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ, ᎤᏟᏍᎩᏂ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎡᏍᎦᏉ ᎠᏥᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ, ᎣᏅᏟ ᎠᎨᏳᎯ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ, ᎠᏴ Ꮀ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎭ ᏥᎨᏳᎢ, ᏂᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎤᏟᎯᏳ ᎯᎨᏳᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᏇᏓᎵ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏕᏍᏓᏁᎶᏛᎢ?
17 If, then, with me thou hast fellowship, receive him as me,
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎢᏳᏃ ᎣᎩᎾᏖᏉᎶᎯ ᏍᏇᎵᏎᎮᏍᏗ, ᏕᎯᏯᏓᏂᎸᏨᎭ ᎠᏴ ᏥᏕᏍᏆᏓᏂᎸᎪ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ.
18 and if he did hurt to thee, or doth owe anything, this to me be reckoning;
ᎢᏳᏃ ᎤᏣᏘᏂ ᏂᏣᏛᏁᎴᏍᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᎯᏚᎨᏍᏕ, ᎠᏴᏉ ᎠᏆᎫᏴᏗ ᏅᏁᎸᎭ;
19 I, Paul did write with my hand, I — I will repay; that I may not say that also thyself, besides, to me thou dost owe.
ᎠᏴ ᏉᎳ ᎠᏋᏒ ᎠᏉᏰᏃ ᎬᏓ ᎪᏪᎸᎦ, ᎠᏴ ᏓᎦᎫᏴᎯ; ᎥᏝᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᏨᏒ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎬᏚᎦ ᏗᏍᏆᏓᏲᎯᏎᏗᏱ ᏱᎬᏲᏎᎭ.
20 Yes, brother, may I have profit of thee in the Lord; refresh my bowels in the Lord;
ᎥᎥ, ᏗᎾᏓᏅᏟ, ᎤᎵᎮᏍᏗ ᏍᏆᏓᏅᏓᏗᏍᏓ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ; ᎯᎦᎵᏍᏓᏓᏉ ᎠᎩᎾᏫ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏕᎾᏁᎶᏛᎢ.
21 having been confident in thy obedience I did write to thee, having known that also above what I may say thou wilt do;
ᏦᎯᏳᏒ ᎠᏆᎵᏍᎦᏍᏙᏛ ᏫᎬᏲᏪᎳᏁᎸᎩ, ᏥᎦᏔᎲᎩ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏣᎶᏒᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎨᏒ ᎿᎭᏛᏁᎲ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎬᏁᏤᎲᎢ.
22 and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.

23 Salute thee doth Epaphras, (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus, )

25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit! Amen.
