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 Timotheus the brother, to Philemon our beloved and 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.
and Apphia the beloved, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and the assembly in your house:
3 Alheri da salama daga Allah Ubanmu da kuma Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi, su kasance tare da ku.
Grace 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 give thanks to my God, always making mention of you in my prayers,
5 domin ina jin labari bangaskiyarka cikin Ubangiji Yesu da kuma ƙaunarka da kake yi saboda dukan tsarkaka.
hearing of your love and faith that you have to the Lord Jesus and toward all the holy ones,
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 your faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that [is] in you toward 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 much joy and comfort in your love, because the yearnings of the holy ones have been refreshed through you, brother.
8 Saboda haka, ko da yake cikin Kiristi ina iya yin ƙarfin hali in umarce ka ka yi abin da ya kamata,
For this reason, having in Christ much boldness to command you that which is fit—
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.
because of the love I rather plead, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ;
10 Ina roƙonka saboda ɗana Onesimus, wanda ya zama ɗana yayinda nake cikin sarƙoƙi.
I beg you concerning 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 once was to you unprofitable, and now is profitable to me and to you,
12 Ina aike shi yă koma gare ka, shi da yake zuciyata.
whom I sent again to you—he who is my own heart,
13 Na so in riƙe shi a wurina a madadinka domin yă taimake ni yayinda nake cikin sarƙoƙi saboda bishara.
whom I intended to retain to myself, that in your behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news,
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 apart from your mind I willed to do nothing, so that your good deed may not be as of necessity, but of willingness,
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 because of this he departed for an hour, that you may have him continuously, (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 servant, but above a servant—a beloved brother, especially to me, and how much more to you, 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, then, you have fellowship with me, receive him as me,
18 In ya yi maka wani laifi ko kuma yana riƙe maka wani bashi, sai ka mai da shi a kaina.
and if he did hurt to you, or owes anything, charge this to me;
19 Ni, Bulus, nake rubuta wannan da hannuna. Zan biya ka, kada ma a yi zancen ranka da kake riƙe mini bashi.
I, Paul, wrote with my hand, I will repay; besides, that I may not say that you also owe to me yourself.
20 Ina fata, ɗan’uwa, zan sami amfani daga gare ka cikin Ubangiji; ka wartsake zuciyata cikin Kiristi.
Yes, brother, may I have profit of you in the LORD; refresh my yearnings in the LORD;
21 Da tabbacin biyayyarka, ina rubuta maka, da sanin za ka yi fiye da abin da na ce.
I wrote to you having been confident in your obedience, having known that you will also do above what I may 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 also prepare for me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I will be granted to you.
23 Efafaras, abokin tarayyata a kurkuku cikin Kiristi Yesu, yana gaishe ka.
Epaphras greets you (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus),
24 Haka kuma Markus, Aristarkus, Demas da kuma Luka, abokan aikina.
Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellow-workmen!
25 Alherin Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi yă kasance da ruhunku.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit! Amen.
