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 the beloved, and our fellow-labourer,
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 the beloved, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church at thy 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 be to you, and peace from God our Father, and 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 thank my God always, making mention of thee 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;
hearing of thy love and faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and unto 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.
that there may be an operative communication of thy faith made known by every good thing, which is in you towards Jesus Christ.
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 we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
8 Nolaila, oiai ua hiki no ia'u iloko o Kristo ke kauleo ikaika aku ia oe i ka mea e pono ai;
Wherefore, though I have in Christ great liberty to enjoin thee what is becoming,
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;
I rather for love’s sake entreat, being such as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner for 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 entreat thee for my son, whom I have begotten during my bonds, Onesimus:
11 Ka mea pono ole nou mamua, ano hoi he mea pono io no kaua:
who in time past hath been an unprofitable servant to thee, but now very profitable to thee and to me:
12 Oia ka'u e hoihoi aku nei; nolaila e hookipa oe ia ia, oia hoi, o kou naau iho.
whom I have sent back; thou therefore receive him, even as my own bowels:
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:
whom I wished to detain about myself, that in thy stead he might have waited upon me during my bonds for 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 without thy consent would I do nothing; that this good deed of thine might not be as of necessity, but from thy own choice.
15 No ka mea, ua hookaawaleia mai paha ia i ka wa pokole i lilo hou aku ia nou mau loa; (aiōnios g166)
For to this end perhaps was he separated from thee for a season, that thou mightest receive him for ever; (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 slave, but above a slave, as a brother beloved, especially by me, but how much more by thee, 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.
If therefore thou holdest me a sharer with thee, receive him as myself.
18 A ina ua lawehala oia i kau, a ua aie paha, o kau ia e hooili mai ai maluna o'u;
If he hath injured thee or oweth thee ought, put that to my account;
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 given it under my own hand, I will repay it, not to say to thee, that thou owest even thine own self unto 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.
Yea, brother, I wish to have joy in thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
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.
Having confidence in thy obedience, I have written unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do more than 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 at the same time prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
23 Ke aloha aku nei ia oe o Epapera, o ko'u hoapio iloko o Kristo Iesu;
There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;
24 A o Mareko, a o Arisetareko, o Dema, o Luka hoi, o ko'u mau hoalawehana.
Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-labourers.
25 E alohaia mai ko oukou uhane e ko kakou Haku e Iesu Kristo. Amene.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Amen. Written to Philemon from Rome, by Onesimus one of his household.
