Fịlịmọn 1
1 Pọl, onye e tinyere nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼihi Kraịst Jisọs na site nʼaka nwanna anyị Timoti, Anyị na-edetara gị ya ezi enyi anyị na onye anyị na ya na-arụkọ ọrụ, Fịlịmọn.
These things speak thou, and exhort, and inculcate, with all authority; and let no one despise thee.
2 Anyị na-edetakwara ya nzukọ Kraịst dị nʼụlọ gị, na nwanna anyị nwanyị Afịa, na Akipos onye anyị na ya so na-alụ agha a.
and to our beloved Apphia, and to Archippus a laborer with us, and to the church in thy house.
3 Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke bụ Nna, na Kraịst Jisọs Onyenwe anyị dịrị unu.
Grace be with you, and peace from God our father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
4 Ana m ekele Chineke ekele mgbe ọbụla m na-echeta gị nʼekpere niile m na-ekpe.
I thank my God always, and remember thee in my prayers,
5 Nʼihi na ana m anụ ihe banyere okwukwe i nwere nʼime Onyenwe anyị Jisọs, na ịhụnanya i na-egosi ndị nsọ niile.
lo, from the time that I heard of thy faith, and of the love thou hast towards our Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints;
6 Ekpere m na-ekpe banyere gị bụ ka mmekọrịta anyị na gị dịka ndị kwere ekwe, mee ka ị matazuo ihe ọma niile anyị nwere nʼime Kraịst.
that there may be a fellowship of thy faith, yielding fruits in works, and in the knowledge of all the good things ye possess in Jesus the Messiah.
7 Ịhụnanya gị na-enye m oke ọṅụ na ịgbaume, ezi nwanna m, nʼihi na emeela ka ndị nsọ nwee ume ọhụrụ site nʼinyeaka gị.
For we have great joy and consolation, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thy love.
8 Ọ bụ ezie na-enwere m ike nʼime Kraịst inye gị iwu banyere ihe kwesiri ka i mee, ma agaghị m eme otu a.
Therefore I might have great freedom In the Messiah, to enjoin upon thee the things that are right.
9 Kama, ọ kaara m mma site na ndabere nke ịhụnanya, ịrịọ gị ya dị ka arịrịọ. Ee, ọ bụ mụ Pọl, agadi nwoke ahụ na onye mkpọrọ nʼihi Kraịst Jisọs na-arịọ gị arịrịọ a.
But for love's sake, I earnestly beseech thee even I, Paul, who am aged, as thou knowest, and now also a prisoner for Jesus the Messiah.
10 Biko, arịọ m gị nʼisi Onisimọs, onye e mere ka ọ bụrụ nwa m oge m nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ.
I beseech thee for my son, whom I had begotten in my bonds for Onesimus;
11 Na mbụ, o nweghị uru ọbụla ọ baara gị, ma ugbu a, ọ baara mụ na gị uru.
from whom formerly thou hadst no profit, but now very profitable will he be both to thee and to me; and whom I have sent to thee.
12 Ana m ezighachiri gị ya ugbu a, ya bụ, onye bụ obi m ka m na-ezitere gị.
And receive thou him, as one begotten by me.
13 Ọ gụsịrị m agụụ ike ime ka mụ na ya nọdụ nʼebe a, ka o were ọnọdụ gị na-ejere m ozi ọ bụladị dị ka m nọ na mkpọrọ nʼihi oziọma.
For I was desirous to retain him with me, that he might minister to me in thy stead, in these bonds for the gospel.
14 Ma, a chọghị m ime ihe ọbụla na-enwetaghị nkwenye gị, ka ọ ghara ịdị ka i mere obiọma gị na mmanye. Kama, achọrọ m ka i mee ihe si gị nʼobi pụta.
But I would do nothing without consulting thee; lest thy benefit should be as if by compulsion, and not with thy pleasure.
15 Ma eleghị anya, ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka eji kewapụ ya nwa oge nta site nʼebe ị nọ, bụ ka i mesịa nweghachi ya ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)
And, perhaps, also, he therefore departed from thee for a season, that thou mightest retain him for ever; (aiōnios g166)
16 Ọ bụghịkwa ohu ọzọ, kama ọ karịrị ohu, maka ọ dịka nwanna a hụrụ nʼanya, ọkachasị nʼebe mụ onwe m nọ, ma ọ ga-abụkwara gị karịchasịa, ma nʼanụ ahụ nakwa nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
henceforth, not as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother dear to me, and much more to thee, both in the flesh and in our Lord?
17 Nʼihi nke a, ọ bụrụ na ị gụrụ m dị ka onye nnwekọ ihe, nabata ya dị ka ị ga-esi nabata m.
If therefore thou art in fellowship with me, receive him as one of mine.
18 Biko, ọ bụrụ na o mejọrọ gị nʼụzọ ọbụla, ọ bụrụkwa na o ji ụgwọ ọbụla, gụọ ya dị ka ụgwọ m ji gị.
And if he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee aught, place it to my account.
19 Mụ bụ Pọl ji aka m dee nke a; aga m akwụghachi gị. Ọ bakwaghị uru ichetara gị ụgwọ i ji m. Nʼihi na ụgwọ i ji m bụ gị onwe gị.
I, Paul, have written it with my own hand, I will repay: not to say to thee, that to me thou owest thy ownself.
20 Nwanna m, mere m ihe a m na-arịọ gị nʼihi Onyenwe anyị. Mekwa ka obi m dị ọhụrụ nʼime Kraịst.
Yes, my brother, let me be refreshed by thee in our Lord: refresh thou my bowels in the Messiah.
21 Olileanya m siri m ike na ị ga-aṅa m ntị, ana m edere gị akwụkwọ a, na ị ga-eme, ma karịakwa ka m rịọrọ.
Being confident that thou wilt hearken to me, I have written to thee: and I know that thou wilt do more than I say.
22 Ihe ọzọkwa, bụ na m chọrọ ka ị kwadoro m ọnụụlọ ebe m ga-anọ dị ka ọbịa ma m bịa, maka enwere m olileanya na a ga-aza ekpere unu ime ka m si nʼebe a pụta bịakwute unu.
And herewith, prepare also a house for me to lodge in; for I hope that, by your prayers, I shall be given to you.
23 Epafras, onye mụ na ya nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼihi Kraịst Jisọs na-ekele gị.
Epaphras, a fellow-captive with me in Jesus the Messiah, saluteth thee;
24 Mak, na Arịstakọs, na Dimas, na Luk, ndị mụ na ha na-arụkọ ọrụ na-ekelekwa unu.
and Mark, and Aristarchus, and Demas, and Luke, my coadjutors.
25 Ka amara Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịnyere mmụọ unu.
The grace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah be with your spirit, my brethren. Amen.
