Filimoni 1
1 Paulo mutungwa wang'wa Yesu Klisto, hangi indugu nu Timoteo kung'wa Filimoni, molowa muhumba miitu hangi mitumi mulimu palung'we nusese,
Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, and our brother Timotheus, vnto Philemon our deare friende, and fellowe helper,
2 nukung'wa Afia dada witu nu kung'wa Arkapas meitu nukiteekelo nilukutukilwa mito lako.
And to our deare sister Apphia, and to Archippus our fellowe souldier, and to the Church that is in thine house:
3 Uukende utule nunyee nuupolo nuupumile kung'witunda tata witu nukung'wa mukulu u Yesu Klisto.
Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
4 Matungo iihi numusongeye idunda nuukuta mumalompiane.
I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers,
5 Nigulye uulowa nuuhueli nutite kung'wa mkulu u Yesu kunsoko auhuli ehi.
(When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes)
6 Kulompa itee wihangueli nuuhoeli wanyu, utule uza kumanye kela lukani nuluzepie pa ng'wanyu nukung'wa Kilisto.
That the fellowship of thy faith may bee made effectuall, and that whatsoeuer good thing is in you through Christ Iesus, may be knowen.
7 Ingi nainandoilwe nuupolo, kunsoko aulowa wako, kunsoko inkolo yaahueli yakendakilagigwa nuewe mulana.
For we haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because by thee, brother, the Saintes bowels are comforted.
8 Kuite gwa nkete uugimya wihi mung'wa Kilisto, kuuila uwe witume kehi nuuhumile kituma.
Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient,
9 Ingi gwa kunsoko aulowa, kuleka gwa ite kuupepelya nene, nene numunyampala, nitungelega ntungilwe nsoko ang'wa Kilisto u Yesu.
Yet for loues sake I rather beseeche thee, though I be as I am, euen Paul aged, and euen nowe a prisoner for Iesus Christ.
10 Kuupepelya nsoko ang'waane Onesmo, nene numutungile muutugwa wane.
I beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes,
11 Kunsoko pang'wandyo shanga akuloeye, ingi itungile uukuloeye uewe nunene.
Which in times past was to thee vnprofitable, but nowe profitable both to thee and to me,
12 Namulagilya ung'wenso nukete inkolo anga nane lukulu kusuka kung'wako.
Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels,
13 Azansigile azuzasaga palung'we nunene, ili wanintumile badalako, matungo nukole mukitungo nsoko ainjili.
Whom I woulde haue reteined with mee, that in thy steade he might haue ministred vnto me in the bondes of the Gospel.
14 Ingegwa singa azaneloilwa kitume lukani lehi bila kugombiigwa nueewe. Nitumile ite kunsoko lukani nuluza, lulekekitung'wa kunsoko akumiiligwa, kunsoko auloilwe uewe kituma.
But without thy minde woulde I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly.
15 Ang'we nsoko aubague nuewe kumatungo aituile ite nsoko utule palong'we nong'wenso matungo ehi. (aiōnios g166)
It may be that he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer, (aiōnios g166)
16 Nsoko itee alekekutula mutungwa hangi, inge bahu lukulu amutungwa, anga muluna muulowa, hasa kung'wane kukila kung'wako, mumwele nukung'wa mukulu.
Not now as a seruant, but aboue a seruant, euen as a brother beloued, specially to me: howe much more then vnto thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord?
17 Ne itegwa kang'wi unihoee unene anga nipalung'wi, anga nazuze nsigilya unee.
If therefore thou count our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe.
18 Kuite angeze umukosee lukani lehi, kang'we uzumudaiye kentu kehi, kedai nekanso kitalane.
If he hath hurt thee, or oweth thee ought, that put on mine accounts.
19 Nene Paulo nuukuandika kumukono wane unene une kuulipa. Singa kulunga kung'wako ingi nukudaiye mulikalo lako itai.
I Paul haue written this with mine owne hande: I will recompense it, albeit I doe not say to thee, that thou owest moreouer vnto me euen thine owne selfe.
20 Hange muluna, lekampate uulowa wa mukulu kupuma kitalako niloeye munkolo ane kong'wa Kilisto.
Yea, brother, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort my bowels in the Lord.
21 Nkete uhuili kutula ni ikulyo nilako, nukuukilisilya nize ningile kina ukituma ga ikilo nianso ni nukulagilye.
Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then I say.
22 Matungo yayoyayo zepelya shumba kaageni konsoko ane inge itegwa nihuie kuukeila malompi ako, kuugendelela matungo makupe.
Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto you.
23 Epafla mutungwa miane mung'wa Kilisto Yesu akuulamusha,
There salute thee Epaphras my felowe prisoner in Christ Iesus,
24 anga uu nukituma uMaliko, Alistalko, Dema, Luka, ituma milimo palung'wi nunene.
Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my felowe helpers.
25 Ukende wang'wa Bwana u Yesu Kilisto utule palung'we ni nkolo ako. Huila.
The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. ‘Written from Rome to Philemon, and send by Onesimus a seruant.’
