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 our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker,
2 zuwa kuma ga Affiya’yar’uwarmu, zuwa kuma ga Arkiffus abokin famarmu, da zuwa kuma ga ikkilisiyar da take taruwa a gidanka.
to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets at your house:
3 Alheri da salama daga Allah Ubanmu da kuma Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi, su kasance tare da ku.
Grace and peace to you 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 always thank my God, remembering you in my prayers,
5 domin ina jin labari bangaskiyarka cikin Ubangiji Yesu da kuma ƙaunarka da kake yi saboda dukan tsarkaka.
because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for 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.
I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ.
7 Ƙaunarka ta sa ni farin ciki ƙwarai ta kuma ƙarfafa ni, domin kai, ɗan’uwa, ka wartsake zukatan tsarkaka.
I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.
8 Saboda haka, ko da yake cikin Kiristi ina iya yin ƙarfin hali in umarce ka ka yi abin da ya kamata,
So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper,
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.
I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.
10 Ina roƙonka saboda ɗana Onesimus, wanda ya zama ɗana yayinda nake cikin sarƙoƙi.
I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.
11 Dā kam, ba shi da amfani a gare ka, amma yanzu ya zama da amfani a gare ka da kuma gare ni.
Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.
12 Ina aike shi yă koma gare ka, shi da yake zuciyata.
I am sending back to you him who is my very heart.
13 Na so in riƙe shi a wurina a madadinka domin yă taimake ni yayinda nake cikin sarƙoƙi saboda bishara.
I would have liked to keep him with me, so that on your behalf he could minister to me in my chains for 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 did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion, but by your own free will.
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 this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good— (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 slave, but better than a slave, as a beloved brother. He is especially beloved to me, but even more so to you, both in person 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.
So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
18 In ya yi maka wani laifi ko kuma yana riƙe maka wani bashi, sai ka mai da shi a kaina.
But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it 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, write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self.
20 Ina fata, ɗan’uwa, zan sami amfani daga gare ka cikin Ubangiji; ka wartsake zuciyata cikin Kiristi.
Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you 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.
Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.
22 Abu guda ya rage, ka shirya mini masauƙi, domin ina bege za a mayar da ni gare ku albarkacin addu’o’inku.
In the meantime, prepare a guest room for me, because I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
23 Efafaras, abokin tarayyata a kurkuku cikin Kiristi Yesu, yana gaishe ka.
Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings,
24 Haka kuma Markus, Aristarkus, Demas da kuma Luka, abokan aikina.
as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
25 Alherin Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi yă kasance da ruhunku.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
