Filemoni 1
1 Pauli, mfungwa ghwa Kristu Yesu ndo ndongo Timoti ghwa Filemoni, ndongobhitu n'ganwa ndo mmbomba mahengu pamonga ni tete,
Paul a prisoner of Christ Jesus and Timothy [our] brother To Philemon the beloved and fellow worker of us
2 ni kwa Afia nd'hombo bhitu, ni kwa Arkipas asikari njitu, na mulikanisa lela alibhonana munyumba ya y'obhi.
and to Apphia (our sister *N(K)O*) and to Archippus the fellow soldier of us and to the at [the] house of you church:
3 Neema iyelayi kway'homo ni amani iyo'homelahi kwa K'yara Dadi ijhitu ni kwa Bwana bhitu Yesu Kiristu.
Grace to you and peace from God Father of us and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Muda bhuoha nikambombeysa K'yara. Nikutaja mu bhus'omelu bhuangu.
I thank the God of mine always mention of you making upon the prayers of mine,
5 Nipeliki uganifu ni imani ya uyenayu mwa Bwana Yesu ndo kwa ndabha ya bhaumini bhoha.
hearing of your love and the faith that you have (toward *NK(o)*) the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
6 Nis'oma kuya kwa ushirika hwa imani ya muenga iyelahi ni ufanisi mu ujuzi bhwa kila lihengu linofu la liyele mugati mwa tete mu Kiristu.
so that the fellowship of the faith of you effective may become in [the] acknowledgment of every good [thing] that [is] in (us *N(K)O*) in Christ (Jesus. *K*)
7 Kwandahba niyelena nihobhuiki ni fanja kwa ndabha ya uganu bhwa yhobhi, kwa ndabha mit'eema ghiya bhaumini yitulisibhwa nabhi, ndongo.
(Joy *NK(O)*) for great (I have *N(K)O*) and encouragement by occasion of the love of you, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
8 H'enu, ndabha njele ni lukakara bhuoha mu Kiristu nikulasimisya bhebhe kuk'heta k'hela kyawibhuwesya kuk'heta,
Therefore much in Christ boldness having to order you what [is] befitting
9 lakini kwa ndabha ya luganu, badala yiake nikujobhela - nene, Pauli ne n'see na henu nifungibhu kwa ndabha jha Kristu Yesu.
for the sake of love rather I exhort [you], such a one being as Paul aged now then also a prisoner of Christ Jesus;
10 Nikus'homa kwa ndabha jha mwanabhangu Onesmo, yanin'hoguili mu fifungu fya nene.
I exhort you for my child whom I have begotten in the chains (of mine *K*) Onesimus,
11 Kwa ndabha muandi akakufwayi lepi lakini henu ikufwayi bhebhe ni nene.
once to you useless now however (both *n*) to you and to me myself useful,
12 Nintumili- muene ndo wa mu nt'eema bhuangu - kuk'herebhuka kwa bhebhe.
whom I have sent back (to you *N(K)O*) (now *k*) in person — who is my very heart — (do yourself receive. *K*)
13 Nitarajileghe uyendelelayi kubakila pamonga ni nene, ndo anitumikilayi badala j'ha bhebhe, wakati bhwa yobhi kufungibhwa kwa ndabha j'ha injili.
whom I myself was wishing with myself to keep, so that on behalf of you me he may serve in the chains of the gospel;
14 Lakini nilondelepi kubhomba lijambo lyolyoha bila ruhusa jha jhobhi. Nabhombi naha ili kwamba lijambo lyolyoha linofu lisibhombeki kwa ndabha nakulasimisi, bali kwa ndabha uganili ghwa muene kukheta.
Apart from however your consent no [thing] I wished to do, so that not as according to necessity the good of you may be but according to willingness.
15 Labda kwa kujha ghwatengibhu nabhi kwa muda, jhajhele naha ili ujhiaghe pamonga ni muene milele. (aiōnios g166)
Perhaps for because of this he was separated [from you] for a time, so that eternally him you may possess; (aiōnios g166)
16 Ili kwamba usijhi naku kabhele n'tumwa, bali mbanga jha n'tumwa, kama ndongobhu mpendwa, hasa kwa nene, nesu kwa bhebhe mu mb'ele ni kwa Bwana.
no longer no longer as a slave but above a slave, a brother beloved, especially to me myself, how much however more to you both in [the] flesh and in [the] Lord?
17 Ni kama bhanitolili nene ne mshirika unjamb'elayi kama kya unijhambelili nene.
If therefore me you consider a partner, do yourself receive him as me myself.
18 Lakini kama akukosili khenu kyokyoha khela, au ukan'dai khenu kyokoha khela, kidayayi ekhu kuhomela kwa nene.
If however in any way he has wronged you or he owes [you], this to me myself do charge.
19 Nene Paulo, nijhandika kwa kibhoko kyangu ne muene: nene nibetakulepa. Nijobhalepi kwa bhebhe kujha nikudai maisha gha jhobhi nesu.
I myself Paul did write with my own hand, I myself will repay [it]; that not I may say to you that even yourself to me you owe also.
20 Naam ndongo, lekayi nikabhayi furaha jha Bwana kuhoma kwa bhebhe: uhobhosiajhi muoyo ghwa nene mu Kristu.
Yes, brother, I myself from you I would have profit in [the] Lord; do refresh my heart in (Christ. *N(K)O*)
21 Nikajhelayi ni imani kuhusu utii bhwa bhebhe, nikujhandikila nimanyili kujha wibetakubhomba hata zaidi jha fela fyanikus'oka.
Having been persuaded of the obedience of you I write to you knowing that even above (what [things] *N(k)O*) I say you will do.
22 Bhwakati bhobhuobhu jhandalayi kichumba kya bhahesiya kwandabha jha nene, kwa kujha nitumaini kup'etela maombi gha bhebhe nibetakugendela karibuni naha.
At the same time now also do prepare for me a lodging; I hope for that through the prayers of you I will be granted to you.
23 Epafra, mfungwa njangu mu Kristu Yesu ikuponesya,
(He greets *N(K)O*) you Epaphras fellow prisoner of mine in Christ Jesus,
24 ni kama kyaibhomba Marko, Aristarko, Dema, Luka, bhabhomba mbombo pamonga ni nene.
[as do] Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, [and] Luke, the fellow workers of mine.
25 Neema jha Bwana Yesu Kristu ijhelayi pamonga ni roho jha bhebhe. Amina.
The grace of the Lord (of us *KO*) Jesus Christ [be] with the spirit of you. (Amen. *KO*) (to To Philemon it was written from Rome through Onesimus servant. *K*)
