Falimoni 1

1 Hagi nagra Poli'na, Krais Jisasi erizante kina hu'nomo'nane, nenafu Timoti'ene ama avona, Filimoniga magoka eri'za enerita tavesinegantona rone timokaregane,

Paul, prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon the beloved and our fellow-workman,

2 nersaro Apiane, magoka Anumzamofo eri'zama e'neruna ne' Arkipusine mono naga'ma, nonka'afima atruma nehaza nagamotaregane ama avona kreneramune.

and to the sister Apphia and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the assembly which [is] in thine house.

3 Anumza Nerfane Ranti Jisas Kraisi asunku'zamo'ene arimpa fruzamo'a tamagrane mesie.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

4 Mika zupa nunamuma hufina, kagriku'ma antahinegami'na, Anumzani'amofona susu hunentoe.

I thank my God, always making mention of thee at my prayers,

5 Na'ankure mono naga'ma kavesinezmantenka, Ramofo Jisasinte'ma kamentintima nehana zamofo kea, nagra antahi'noe.

hearing of thy love and the faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints,

6 Hagi nagrama nunamuma nehuana, kamentintima nehana zana kagrama tazeri hanavetikema nerasamina zamo'a, antahintahizanka'a erira nehina, Kraisimpima makamota asomu'ma me'neazana antahi ama hugahane.

in such sort that thy participation in the faith should become operative in the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in us towards Christ [Jesus].

7 Hu'negu rama'a muse nehu'na hanave enerue, na'ankure kagra nerfuga mono nagamokizmi zamagu'a zamazeri hanavenetinkena muse nehu'na fruhu'na nemanue.

For we have great thankfulness and encouragement through thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

8 E'ina hu'negu, nagrira Kraisi'a nazeri hanaveti'neankina hanave ke hu'na fatgoza huo hu'na hugantegaragi,

Wherefore having much boldness in Christ to enjoin thee what is fitting,

9 Nagra Poli'na, Krais Jisasi erizante kina hu'noa ne'mona, navesigantoa kazigati, kazeri otike huna kantahinegoe.

for love's sake I rather exhort, being such a one as Paul the aged, and now also prisoner of Jesus Christ.

10 Kina nompi mani'nena azeri nenamofoza hu'noa mofavreni'a Onisimusinku, nagra kazeri otike hu'na kantahi'negoe.

I exhort thee for my child, whom I have begotten in [my] bonds, Onesimus,

11 Kotera kagri kavurera mago eri'za eriga osu'neanagi, menina kagrite'ene nagrite'enena, eri'zama'amo'a me'nea ne' efore nehie.

once unserviceable to thee, but now serviceable to thee and to me:

12 Hagi kagritega etena, Onisimusina tumoni'agna hu'nemofo nagra huntogeno nevie.

whom I have sent back to thee: [but do thou receive] him, that is, my bowels:

13 Knare Musenkegu'ma kina hu'na maninofi, kagri no erino manineno naza haniegu navenesie.

whom I was desirous of keeping with myself, that for thee he might minister to me in the bonds of the glad tidings;

14 Hianagi kagrama ontahinesanke'nama, nagrama mago'zama huntesua zankura navenosie. Hagi nagra aza huo hanuazanku, aza hu'zankura navenosianki, kagraka'a kavesite aza huo.

but I have wished to do nothing without thy mind, that thy good might not be as of necessity but of willingness:

15 Na'ankure amana agafarepi Onisimusima osia knafima kagri'ma katreneana, ete avresankeno kagrane manivava haniegu anara hu'ne. (aiōnios g166)

for perhaps for this reason he has been separated [from thee] for a time, that thou mightest possess him fully for ever; (aiōnios g166)

16 Menina Onisimusia mago'ane kazokzo eri'za nera omanine. Hianagi nagritera kazokzo eri'za vahera agatereno navesinentoa nenfu'e. Hu'neanagi menina kagritera amega tavufare'ene Ramofompina mago'ane mono nerafu manine

not any longer as a bondman, but above a bondman, a beloved brother, specially to me, and how much rather to thee, both in [the] flesh and in [the] Lord?

17 Hagi nagranema tragoteta eri'zama e'neru'a zanku'ma nentahisunka, nagri'ma nenavranaza hunka Onisimusina avro.

If therefore thou holdest me to be a partner [with thee], receive him as me;

18 Mago'za nehuno haviza hugantenesio, mago nofi hu'nesiana nagra miza hugahue.

but if he have wronged thee anything or owe anything [to thee], put this to my account.

19 Poli'na Nagra'a nazanu ama avona krenegamue. Nagra nona hu'na mizana hugahue. Nagra kagu kamemofona kaza hunoanagi, kagra nofira hunantenane hu'na nosue.

I Paul have written [it] with mine own hand; I will repay [it]: that I say not to thee that thou owest even thine own self also to me.

20 Tamage nenfuga, Ramofompina knare hunantenka, Kraisimpina nagu'a nazeri kasefahu kea nasami'nanegu nehue.

Yea, brother, I would have profit of thee in [the] Lord: refresh my bowels in Christ.

21 Nagra kantahi'negoazana, agaterenka hugahane hu'na antahinegamina, ama avona krenegamue.

Being confident of thine obedience, I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say.

22 Hagi anama nehanunka noma emasesuazana retro hunanto, na'ankure nagra amuha nehuankino, nunamu tamia Anumzamo'a antahino, kinafintira katufe natresagena vu'naku aveganentoe.

But withal prepare me also a lodging; for I hope that I shall be granted to you through your prayers.

23 Hagi Krais Jisasi eri'zanku hu'za magoka kina hurante'naza ne'mo, Epafrasi'a musenkea atregante.

Epaphras salutes thee, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;

24 Anahukna hu'za magoka eri'za eneruna naga'mo'zanena, Makima Aristakusima, Demasima, Luku'ma, musenkea atregantaze.

Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-workmen.

25 Ranti Jisas Kraisi asunku'zamo'a tamagrane mesie.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit.
