Filemon 1
1 Bulus, ɗan kurkuku saboda Kiristi Yesu, da kuma Timoti ɗan’uwanmu, Zuwa ga Filemon ƙaunataccen abokinmu da kuma abokin aikinmu,
Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon our beloved friend and fellow-laborer,
2 zuwa kuma ga Affiya’yar’uwarmu, zuwa kuma ga Arkiffus abokin famarmu, da zuwa kuma ga ikkilisiyar da take taruwa a gidanka.
and to the beloved Apphia, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in thy house:
3 Alheri da salama daga Allah Ubanmu da kuma Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi, su kasance tare da ku.
Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Kullum nakan gode wa Allahna sa’ad da nake tuna da kai cikin addu’o’ina,
I thank my God at all times, making mention of thee in my prayers,
5 domin ina jin labari bangaskiyarka cikin Ubangiji Yesu da kuma ƙaunarka da kake yi saboda dukan tsarkaka.
hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints;
6 Ina addu’a ka zama mai ƙwazo cikin shaida bangaskiyarka, domin ka sami cikakken fahimta ta kowane abin da yake nagarin da muke da shi cikin Kiristi.
that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us, for Christ Jesus.
7 Ƙaunarka ta sa ni farin ciki ƙwarai ta kuma ƙarfafa ni, domin kai, ɗan’uwa, ka wartsake zukatan tsarkaka.
For we have great thankfulness and comfort on account of thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
8 Saboda haka, ko da yake cikin Kiristi ina iya yin ƙarfin hali in umarce ka ka yi abin da ya kamata,
Wherefore, though I have much boldness in Christ to enjoin upon thee that which is befitting,
9 duk da haka ina roƙonka saboda ƙauna, na fi so in roƙe ka, ni Bulus tsoho, a yanzu kuma ga ni ɗan sarƙa saboda Kiristi Yesu.
yet for love's sake I beseech thee rather; being such a one as Paul an old man, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus,
10 Ina roƙonka saboda ɗana Onesimus, wanda ya zama ɗana yayinda nake cikin sarƙoƙi.
I beseech thee for my child, whom I begot in my bonds, Onesimus;
11 Dā kam, ba shi da amfani a gare ka, amma yanzu ya zama da amfani a gare ka da kuma gare ni.
who in time past was unprofitable to thee, but is now profitable to thee and to me;
12 Ina aike shi yă koma gare ka, shi da yake zuciyata.
whom I have sent back; and do thou [[receive]] him, that is, my own flesh.
13 Na so in riƙe shi a wurina a madadinka domin yă taimake ni yayinda nake cikin sarƙoƙi saboda bishara.
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might minister to me in the bonds of the gospel;
14 Sai dai ban so in yi kome ban da yardarka ba, domin kowane alherin da za ka yi, yă fito daga zuciyarka, ba na tilas ba.
but I chose to do nothing without thy consent, that thy benefit may be not as from necessity, but willingly.
15 Wataƙila abin da ya sa aka raba ka da shi na ɗan lokaci ƙanƙani shi ne don ka same shi da amfani (aiōnios g166)
For perhaps he was separated from thee for a season to this end, that thou shouldst receive him back as thine for ever; (aiōnios g166)
16 ba kamar bawa kuma ba, sai dai fiye da bawa, a matsayin ƙaunataccen ɗan’uwa. Shi ƙaunatacce ne sosai a gare ni amma a gare ka ya ma fi zama ƙaunatacce, kamar mutum da kuma kamar ɗan’uwa a cikin Ubangiji.
no longer as a bond-servant, but above a bond-servant, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more to thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord!
17 Saboda haka in ka ɗauke ni a kan ni abokin tarayya ne, sai ka marabce shi kamar yadda za ka marabce ni.
If thou then regardest me as a partner, receive him as myself.
18 In ya yi maka wani laifi ko kuma yana riƙe maka wani bashi, sai ka mai da shi a kaina.
And if he wronged thee in anything, or oweth thee, put that to my account.
19 Ni, Bulus, nake rubuta wannan da hannuna. Zan biya ka, kada ma a yi zancen ranka da kake riƙe mini bashi.
I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it; not to say to thee, that to me thou owest even thy own self besides.
20 Ina fata, ɗan’uwa, zan sami amfani daga gare ka cikin Ubangiji; ka wartsake zuciyata cikin Kiristi.
Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.
21 Da tabbacin biyayyarka, ina rubuta maka, da sanin za ka yi fiye da abin da na ce.
Having confidence in thy obedience I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say.
22 Abu guda ya rage, ka shirya mini masauƙi, domin ina bege za a mayar da ni gare ku albarkacin addu’o’inku.
And at the same time make ready a lodging for me; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.
23 Efafaras, abokin tarayyata a kurkuku cikin Kiristi Yesu, yana gaishe ka.
Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus,
24 Haka kuma Markus, Aristarkus, Demas da kuma Luka, abokan aikina.
Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-laborers, salute thee.
25 Alherin Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi yă kasance da ruhunku.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
