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.
Paul, a prisoner of Messiah Yeshua, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
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.
to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
3 Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke bụ Nna, na Kraịst Jisọs Onyenwe anyị dịrị unu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
4 Ana m ekele Chineke ekele mgbe ọbụla m na-echeta gị nʼekpere niile m na-ekpe.
I thank my God always, making mention of you 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.
hearing of your love and of the faith which you have towards the Lord Yeshua and towards all the holy ones,
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 the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Messiah Yeshua.
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 much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the holy ones have been refreshed through you, brother.
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 though I have all boldness in Messiah to command you that which is appropriate,
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.
yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Yeshua the Messiah.
10 Biko, arịọ m gị nʼisi Onisimọs, onye e mere ka ọ bụrụ nwa m oge m nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ.
I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains,
11 Na mbụ, o nweghị uru ọbụla ọ baara gị, ma ugbu a, ọ baara mụ na gị uru.
who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
12 Ana m ezighachiri gị ya ugbu a, ya bụ, onye bụ obi m ka m na-ezitere gị.
I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
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.
whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
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 was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
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)
For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever, (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.
no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the 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 then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
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.
But if he has wronged you at all or owes you anything, put that 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, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).
20 Nwanna m, mere m ihe a m na-arịọ gị nʼihi Onyenwe anyị. Mekwa ka obi m dị ọhụrụ nʼime Kraịst.
Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
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.
Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what 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.
Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
23 Epafras, onye mụ na ya nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼihi Kraịst Jisọs na-ekele gị.
Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Messiah Yeshua, greets you,
24 Mak, na Arịstakọs, na Dimas, na Luk, ndị mụ na ha na-arụkọ ọrụ na-ekelekwa unu.
as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
25 Ka amara Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịnyere mmụọ unu.
The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit. Amen.
