Pilemona 1
1 NA Paulo he pio no Iesu Kriato, a na Timoteo ka hoahanau, ia Pilemona i ko maua mea aloha, a me ka hoalawehana,
Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow laborer,
2 A ia Apia hoi i alohaia, a ia Arekipo i ko kakou hoakoa, a i ka ekalesia hoi iloko o kou hale:
and to Apphia, most beloved sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in your house.
3 Ia oukou ke aloha a me ka maluhia mai ke Akua mai o ko kakou Makua a me ka Haku o Iesu Kristo.
Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Ke hoomaikai mau aku nei au i ko'u Akua, e hoohiki mau ana ia oe ma ka'u pule ana,
I give thanks to my God, always keeping remembrance of you in my prayers,
5 I ko'u lohe ana'ku i kou aloha a me kou manaoio i ka Haku ia Iesu, a i ka poe haipule a pau;
(for I am hearing of your charity and faith, which you have in the Lord Jesus and with all the saints)
6 I lilo ka hui ana mai o kou manaoio i mea ikaika e hooiaioia mai ai na mea maikai a pau iloko o oukou no Kristo Iesu.
so that the participation of your faith may become evident by the recognition of every good work which is in you in Christ Jesus.
7 No ka mea, he nui no ko makou olioli a me ka oluolu no kou aloha, no ka mea, ua hoohoihoiia ns naau o ka poe haipule e oe, e ka hoahanau.
For I have found great joy and consolation in your charity, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.
8 Nolaila, oiai ua hiki no ia'u iloko o Kristo ke kauleo ikaika aku ia oe i ka mea e pono ai;
Because of this, I have enough confidence in Christ Jesus to command you concerning certain things,
9 Aka hoi, no ke aloha, ke makemake nei no au e nonoi malie aku, owau no, o Paulo ka elemakule e noho nei, a he pio no hoi no Iesu Kristo;
but I beg you instead, for the sake of charity, since you are so much like Paul: an old man and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
10 Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe no ka'u keiki a'u i hoohanau aku nei iloko o ko'u paa ana, no Onesimo:
I beg you, on behalf of my son, whom I have begotten in my chains, Onesimus.
11 Ka mea pono ole nou mamua, ano hoi he mea pono io no kaua:
In times past, he was useless to you, but now he is useful both to me and to you.
12 Oia ka'u e hoihoi aku nei; nolaila e hookipa oe ia ia, oia hoi, o kou naau iho.
So I have sent him back to you. And may you receive him like my own heart.
13 Ua makemake nae au e kaohi ia ia e noho pu me an, i hiki ia ia ke malama mai ia'u nou, i kuu paa ana no ka euanelio:
I myself wanted to retain him with me, so that he might minister to me, on your behalf, while I am in the chains of the Gospel.
14 Aka, aole loa o'u manao e hana pela me kou ae ole mai; i like ole keia pono ou me he mea la i kaili wale ia aka, no ka naau mai.
But I was willing to do nothing without your counsel, so as not to make use of your good deed as if out of necessity, but only willingly.
15 No ka mea, ua hookaawaleia mai paha ia i ka wa pokole i lilo hou aku ia nou mau loa; (aiōnios g166)
So perhaps, then, he departed from you for a time, so that you might receive him again for eternity, (aiōnios g166)
16 Aole me he kauwa la ma ia hope, aka, me he mea la e oi i ke kauwa, he hoahanau punahele, pela io ia'u, a he oiaio maoli no ia oe, ma ke kino, a maloko hoi o ka Haku.
no longer as a servant, but, in place of a servant, a most beloved brother, especially to me: but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord!
17 A ina i manao mai oe ia'u he hoalawepu, e hookipa oe ia ia e like me ia'u uei.
Therefore, if you hold me to be a companion, receive him as you would me.
18 A ina ua lawehala oia i kau, a ua aie paha, o kau ia e hooili mai ai maluna o'u;
But if he has harmed you in any way, or if he is in your debt, charge it to me.
19 Na'u na Paulo nei i kakau iho keia me ko'u lima ponoi, na'u ia e uku aku; aole nae me ka olelo aku ia oe, o oe iho no ka i aie ia oe iho na'u.
I, Paul, have written this with my own hand: I will repay. And I need not tell you, that you are also in debt yourself, to me.
20 Oiaio hoi, e ka hoahanau, no'u kahi olioli ia oe iloko o ka Haku; e hoomaha mai oe i ko'u naau maloko o ka Haku.
So it is, brother. May I delight with you in the Lord! Refresh my heart in Christ.
21 No ka paulele aku i kou hoolohe ana mai, ua palapala aku au ia oe, me ka ike aku hoi e oi aku no kau hana ana mamua o ko'u olelo ana'ku.
I have written to you, trusting in your obedience, knowing, too, that you will do even more than what I say.
22 Eia kekahi, e hoomakaukau e oe i wahi no'u e moe ai; no ka mea, ke manaolana nei au, no ka oukou pule ana e haawiia'ku ai au ia oukou.
But also, at once, prepare a lodging for me. For I am hoping, through your prayers, to present myself to you.
23 Ke aloha aku nei ia oe o Epapera, o ko'u hoapio iloko o Kristo Iesu;
Greet Epaphras, my fellow captive in Christ Jesus,
24 A o Mareko, a o Arisetareko, o Dema, o Luka hoi, o ko'u mau hoalawehana.
and Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my helpers.
25 E alohaia mai ko oukou uhane e ko kakou Haku e Iesu Kristo. Amene.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
