Filemón 1
1 Ri Pablo, tzꞌapil pa cheꞌ rumal ri Cristo Jesús, xuqujeꞌ ri alaxik Timoteo, che ri loqꞌalaj Filemón, toꞌl qe,
PAUL, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy a brother, to Philemon the beloved, and our fellow-labourer,
2 xuqujeꞌ che ri alaxik Apia, ri alaxik Arquipo, e qachiꞌl pa ri chꞌoꞌj, xuqujeꞌ ri komontyox ri kakimulij kibꞌ cho awachoch:
and to Apphia the beloved, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church at thy house:
3 Toqꞌobꞌ, jaꞌmaril rech ri qaDios Tataxel xuqujeꞌ rech ri Ajawxel Jesucristo chiꞌwe.
grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Kintyoxin che ri Dios, amaqꞌel katnaꞌtaj chwe pa ri nuchꞌawem.
I thank my God always, making mention of thee in my prayers,
5 Rumal cher nutom ri aloqꞌanik xuqujeꞌ ri akojobꞌal ri kꞌo che ri Ajawxel Jesús, xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ konojel ri tyoxalaj taq winaq.
hearing of thy love and faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus, and unto all the saints;
6 Kinta che ri Dios chi ri riqoj ibꞌ ri kakꞌiy pa ri akojobꞌal, qas kꞌo kutayij pa Cristo, rumal rech ri etaꞌmanik rech ri utzilal, ri qetaꞌmam junam awukꞌ.
that there may be an operative communication of thy faith made known by every good thing, which is in you towards Jesus Christ.
7 Rumal cher kꞌo qakiꞌkotemal xuqujeꞌ kuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx pa ri aloqꞌanik, rumal cher ri tyoxalaj taq winaq xkikꞌamawaꞌj kichuqꞌabꞌ rumal awe.
For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
8 Rumal riꞌ, pune pa Cristo kinkwinik kintaqan paꞌwiꞌ, rech kabꞌan ri rajawaxik kabꞌano,
Wherefore, though I have in Christ great liberty to enjoin thee what is becoming,
9 xa kinta toqꞌobꞌ chawe pa ri loqꞌanik. In in Pablo, in nima winaq chik, xuqujeꞌ in tzꞌapital pa cheꞌ rumal rech ri Cristo Jesús,
I rather for love’s sake entreat, being such as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner for Jesus Christ.
10 kinta chawe puꞌwiꞌ ri nukꞌojol Onésimo, ri xux nukꞌojol are in tzꞌapital pa cheꞌ.
I entreat thee for my son, whom I have begotten during my bonds, Onesimus:
11 Ojer maj kutayij waꞌ chawe, kamik kꞌut kꞌo kutayij chawe at xuqujeꞌ chwe in.
who in time past hath been an unprofitable servant to thee, but now very profitable to thee and to me:
12 Kintaq bꞌik rech katzalij awukꞌ, chakꞌamawaꞌj kꞌut, je ta ne tzi in kinopan awukꞌ.
whom I have sent back; thou therefore receive him, even as my own bowels:
13 Are ta ne kawaj in kakanaj wukꞌ che akꞌaxel rech kinupatanij pa we cheꞌ ri in tzꞌapital wi rumal re ri utz laj tzij.
whom I wished to detain about myself, that in thy stead he might have waited upon me during my bonds for the gospel:
14 Man xwaj ta kꞌut xinbꞌan jun jastaq ri man awetaꞌm taj, rech man kabꞌantaj rumal cher in kinbꞌinik xane are ri qas kape pa awanimaꞌ.
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.
For to this end perhaps was he separated from thee for a season, that thou mightest receive him for ever; (aiōnios g166)
16 Man kakꞌamawaꞌj taj jacha jun patanil awe, xane chakꞌamawaꞌj jeꞌ jas jun loqꞌalaj alaxik, sibꞌalaj nim ubꞌanik chinuwach in, nim ubꞌanik chawach at rumal cher jun winaq xuqujeꞌ jun alaxik pa ri Ajawxel.
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 Xaq jeriꞌ, we in awachiꞌl, chakꞌamawaꞌj tzi jacha ta ne ri in.
If therefore thou holdest me a sharer with thee, receive him as myself.
18 We ubꞌanom jun kꞌax chawe o kꞌo ukꞌas awukꞌ, chaya pa ri nukwenta.
If he hath injured thee or oweth thee ought, put that to my account;
19 In in Pablo, rukꞌ ri nuqꞌabꞌ kintzꞌibꞌaj: Kintoj na chawe, naꞌtaj chawe chi kꞌo akꞌas wukꞌ che ri katux kamik.
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 Jeꞌ wachalal, chikinkꞌamawaꞌj jun toqꞌobꞌ chawe at. Chaya uchuqꞌabꞌ ri wanimaꞌ pa Cristo.
Yea, brother, I wish to have joy in thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
21 Xintzꞌibꞌaj bꞌi waꞌ chawe, kuꞌl na kꞌuꞌx chi katnimanik, xuqujeꞌ wetaꞌm chi kꞌo na ri kabꞌano choch ri kinta chawe.
Having confidence in thy obedience, I have written unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do more than I say.
22 Xuqujeꞌ chasukꞌumaj apanoq ri ja ri kineꞌkꞌol wi, rumal cher kuꞌl na kꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios kinopan chi na iwukꞌ, rumal ri ichꞌawem.
But at the same time prepare me also a lodging: for I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
23 Kakitaq rutzil awach ri Epafras, wachiꞌl pa Cristo Jesús, uj kꞌo pa cheꞌ,
There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus;
24 xuqujeꞌ ri Marcos, ri Aristarco, ri Demas, ri Lucas, e toꞌl taq we.
Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-labourers.
25 Are ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Ajawxel Jesucristo, kakanaj kan pa awanimaꞌ. Jeriꞌ.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Amen. Written to Philemon from Rome, by Onesimus one of his household.
