Pilimoni 1
1 Nne Pauli nankutabhwa kwa ligongo lya a Yeshu Kilishitu, na alongo ajetu a Timoteo, tunakunjandishila mmwe a Pilimoni nkupingwa na uwe na mmakamula liengo ajetu,
Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
2 na alumbu bhetu a Apiya, na a Alikipo linjola nnjetu nngulupai na likanisha liimananga nnyumba jabho.
and to Apphia our sister, to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house:
3 Nema na ulele kopoka kwa Atati a Nnungu na Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, ibhe na mmanganyanji.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Ngunakwaatendela eja a Nnungu bhangu mobha gowe, pungunkumbushila mwe a Pilimoni nkujuga kwangu,
I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
5 pabha ngulipilikana shinkuti kwaakulupalila a Yeshu Bhakulungwa bhetu na shinkuti kwaapinganga bha ukonjelo bhowe bha a Nnungu.
hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;
6 Ngunakwaajuga a Nnungu kuti, ngulupai jimuilundile na uwe jinkomboye kubha na lumanyio lwa kushimanya kila shindu sha mmbone shitukwete, nkulundana kwetu na a Kilishitu.
that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in you in Christ.
7 Pabha kwa kwaapinganga kwenu bhandu, kushing'angalaya kaje na njitagwa ntima kwa ligongo lyenu mwe mmakilishitu ajangu, numbe nshikujiangalaya mitima ja bhandunji bha ukonjelo.
For I have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
8 Kwa nneyo, ikabhe ngwete makangala ga kunnajila mmwe ntende indu inkupinjikwa tenda pabha nkulundana kwangu na a Kilishitu,
Therefore, though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
9 ikabheje kwa ligongo lya nonyelana ngunakunjuga, malinga nne Pauli shingongopele shino, na numbe nnaino nankutabhwa kwa ligongo lya a Yeshu Kilishitu.
yet on the basis of love I rather appeal, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Christ Jesus.
10 Bhai ngunakunnjuga kwa ligongo lika mwanangu Oneshimushi, junimpatile nngulupai nili nkutabhwa.
I appeal to you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus,
11 Bhukala jwenejo akampwaaga, ikabheje nnaino shampwae mmwe na nkali nne.
who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
12 Lelo ngunakummuja najo kwenu mmwe, jwenejo ni malinga ntima gwangu namwene.
I am sending back to you, him who is my very heart,
13 Napinjile atame na nne nkupinga anyangutile maengo penu mmwe, pepano pundabhilwe kwa ligongo lya Ngani ja Mmbone pano.
whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
14 Ikabheje ngapinga kutenda shoshowe gwangali kumpilikana mmwe, nkupinga uguja gwenu unabhe gwa shishilishiywa, ikabhe ubhe gwa pinga mmayene.
But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
15 Pana mwashinkulekana naka Oneshimo mobha gashoko, nkupinga abhujaga, atame na mmwe mobha gowe. (aiōnios g166)
For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever, (aiōnios g166)
16 Bhai nnaino jwenejo nngabha ntumwape, ikabhe jwa mmbone kupunda ntumwa, ni nnongo nnjetu, nne ananonyela kaje, numbe mmwe shapunde kunnonyela, jweneju nnjetu na nnongo nnjetu nkulundana na Bhakulungwa.
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 Kwa nneyo malinga shinkumona nne kuti nannjenu, bhai mumposhele jwenejo mbuti nkumboshela nne.
If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
18 Monaga annebhele shoshowe eu nnakunnonga shoshowe, bhai shenesho nnonje nne.
But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account.
19 Nne Pauli ngujandika jene bhaluwa jino kwa nkono gwangu namwene, nguti shinipe. Ngakunkumbushiya kuti ngunalongwa ga maisha genu.
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 Elo apwanga, ngunapinga mbwaishe kwenu mmwe kupitila Bhakulungwa, nng'angalaye ntima gwangu nkulundana na a Kilishitu.
Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
21 Ngunakunnjandishila pabha nikumanyi kukunda kwenu, nimumanyi kuti shintende nkali kupunda guninnjandishilego.
Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
22 Punda genego, mmishile ukoto pa ishila, pabha ngunakulupalila kuti, kwa nyujilanga kwenunji, a Nnungu shibhambe shikono sha bhuja kweneko.
Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
23 A Epapula, bhaatabhwa pamo na nne kwa ligongo lya kwaatumishila a Yeshu Kilishitu, bhanakunnamushilanga.
Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
24 Na a Maliko, na a Alishitako, na a Dema, na a Luka bhaakamula maengo ajangunji bhanakunnamushilanga.
as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
25 Nema ja Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu jitame mmitima jenunji.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
