Philemon 1
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker,
khrīṣṭasya yīśo rbandidāsaḥ paulastīthiyanāmā bhrātā ca priyaṁ sahakāriṇaṁ philīmonaṁ
2 and Apphia the beloved, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and the assembly in thy house:
priyām āppiyāṁ sahasenām ārkhippaṁ philīmonasya gṛhe sthitāṁ samitiñca prati patraṁ likhataḥ|
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
asmākaṁ tāta īśvaraḥ prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭaśca yuṣmān prati śāntim anugrahañca kriyāstāṁ|
4 I give thanks to my God, always making mention of thee in my prayers,
prabhuṁ yīśuṁ prati sarvvān pavitralokān prati ca tava premaviśvāsayo rvṛttāntaṁ niśamyāhaṁ
5 hearing of thy love and faith that thou hast unto the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
prārthanāsamaye tava nāmoccārayan nirantaraṁ mameśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ vadāmi|
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;
asmāsu yadyat saujanyaṁ vidyate tat sarvvaṁ khrīṣṭaṁ yīśuṁ yat prati bhavatīti jñānāya tava viśvāsamūlikā dānaśīlatā yat saphalā bhavet tadaham icchāmi|
7 for we have much joy and comfort in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.
he bhrātaḥ, tvayā pavitralokānāṁ prāṇa āpyāyitā abhavan etasmāt tava premnāsmākaṁ mahān ānandaḥ sāntvanā ca jātaḥ|
8 Wherefore, having in Christ much boldness to command thee that which is fit —
tvayā yat karttavyaṁ tat tvām ājñāpayituṁ yadyapyahaṁ khrīṣṭenātīvotsuko bhaveyaṁ tathāpi vṛddha
9 because of the love I rather entreat, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;
idānīṁ yīśukhrīṣṭasya bandidāsaścaivambhūto yaḥ paulaḥ so'haṁ tvāṁ vinetuṁ varaṁ manye|
10 I entreat thee concerning my child — whom I did beget in my bonds — Onesimus,
ataḥ śṛṅkhalabaddho'haṁ yamajanayaṁ taṁ madīyatanayam onīṣimam adhi tvāṁ vinaye|
11 who once was to thee unprofitable, and now is profitable to me and to thee,
sa pūrvvaṁ tavānupakāraka āsīt kintvidānīṁ tava mama copakārī bhavati|
12 whom I did send again, and thou him (that is, my own bowels) receive,
tamevāhaṁ tava samīpaṁ preṣayāmi, ato madīyaprāṇasvarūpaḥ sa tvayānugṛhyatāṁ|
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,
susaṁvādasya kṛte śṛṅkhalabaddho'haṁ paricārakamiva taṁ svasannidhau varttayitum aicchaṁ|
14 and apart from thy mind I willed to do nothing, that as of necessity thy good deed may not be, but of willingness,
kintu tava saujanyaṁ yad balena na bhūtvā svecchāyāḥ phalaṁ bhavet tadarthaṁ tava sammatiṁ vinā kimapi karttavyaṁ nāmanye|
15 for perhaps because of this he did depart for an hour, that age-duringly thou mayest have him, (aiōnios g166)
ko jānāti kṣaṇakālārthaṁ tvattastasya vicchedo'bhavad etasyāyam abhiprāyo yat tvam anantakālārthaṁ taṁ lapsyase (aiōnios g166)
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!
puna rdāsamiva lapsyase tannahi kintu dāsāt śreṣṭhaṁ mama priyaṁ tava ca śārīrikasambandhāt prabhusambandhācca tato'dhikaṁ priyaṁ bhrātaramiva|
17 If, then, with me thou hast fellowship, receive him as me,
ato heto ryadi māṁ sahabhāginaṁ jānāsi tarhi māmiva tamanugṛhāṇa|
18 and if he did hurt to thee, or doth owe anything, this to me be reckoning;
tena yadi tava kimapyaparāddhaṁ tubhyaṁ kimapi dhāryyate vā tarhi tat mameti viditvā gaṇaya|
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.
ahaṁ tat pariśotsyāmi, etat paulo'haṁ svahastena likhāmi, yatastvaṁ svaprāṇān api mahyaṁ dhārayasi tad vaktuṁ necchāmi|
20 Yes, brother, may I have profit of thee in the Lord; refresh my bowels in the Lord;
bho bhrātaḥ, prabhoḥ kṛte mama vāñchāṁ pūraya khrīṣṭasya kṛte mama prāṇān āpyāyaya|
21 having been confident in thy obedience I did write to thee, having known that also above what I may say thou wilt do;
tavājñāgrāhitve viśvasya mayā etat likhyate mayā yaducyate tato'dhikaṁ tvayā kāriṣyata iti jānāmi|
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.
tatkaraṇasamaye madarthamapi vāsagṛhaṁ tvayā sajjīkriyatāṁ yato yuṣmākaṁ prārthanānāṁ phalarūpo vara ivāhaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ dāyiṣye mameti pratyāśā jāyate|
23 Salute thee doth Epaphras, (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus, )
khrīṣṭasya yīśāḥ kṛte mayā saha bandiripāphrā
24 Markus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lukas, my fellow-workmen!
mama sahakāriṇo mārka āriṣṭārkho dīmā lūkaśca tvāṁ namaskāraṁ vedayanti|
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit! Amen.
asmākaṁ prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasyānugraho yuṣmākam ātmanā saha bhūyāt| āmen|
