फिलेमोन 1
1 ख्रीष्ट येशूको कैदी पावल र हाम्रा भाइ तिमोथीबाट हाम्रा प्रिय साथी तथा सङ्गी-सहकर्मी फिलेमोनलाई,
From Paul, now a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and from Timothy, a fellow follower of the Lord.
2 अनि हाम्री बहिनी अप्फिया र हाम्रा सङ्गी-सिपाही अर्खिप्पस र तिम्रो घरमा भएको मण्डलीलाई,
To our dear friend and fellow worker Philemon, to our sister Apphia, to our fellow soldier Archippus; and to the church that meets at Philemon’s house;
3 परमेश्वर पिता र हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टबाट अनुग्रह र शान्ति!
may God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
4 तिमीलाई प्रार्थनामा सम्झना गर्दा म सधैँ परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद दिन्छु ।
I always mention you in my prayers and thank God for you,
5 प्रभु येशूमा भएको तिम्रो विश्वास र प्रेम र अरू विश्वासीहरूप्रति भएको तिम्रो प्रेमको बारेमा मैले सुनेको छु ।
because I hear of the love and the faith which you show, not only to the Lord Jesus, but also to all his people;
6 म प्रार्थना गर्छु, कि ख्रीष्टमा हामीमा भएको हरेक असल कुराको ज्ञानको निम्ति तिम्रो विश्वासको सहभागिता प्रभावकारी हुन सकोस् ।
and I pray that your participation in the faith may result in action, as you come to a fuller realisation of everything that is good and Christlike in us.
7 किनकि तिम्रो प्रेमले मलाई ज्यादै आनन्द र सान्त्वना दिएको छ, किनभने भाइ, तिमीले विश्वासीहरूका हृदयलाई ताजा बनाएका छौ ।
I have indeed found great joy and encouragement in your love, knowing, as I do, how the hearts of Christ’s people have been cheered, friend, by you.
8 यसकारण, तिमीले के गर्नुपर्छ, त्यो कुरा तिमीलाई आज्ञा दिनको निम्ति ख्रीष्टमा ममा साहस भए, तापनि
And so, though my union with Christ enables me, with all confidence, to dictate the course that you should adopt,
9 प्रेमको कारणले म वृद्ध पावल, येशूको निम्ति एउटा कैदी, म तिमीलाई बिन्ती गर्छु,
yet the claims of love make me prefer to plead with you – yes, even me, Paul, though I am an ambassador for Christ Jesus and, now a prisoner for him as well.
10 म मेरा छोरा ओनेसिमसको निम्ति बिन्ती गरिरहेछु, जसको म कारागारमा हुँदा बुबा बनेँ ।
I plead with you for this child of mine, Onesimus, to whom, in my prison, I have become a father.
11 किनकि एक पटक ऊ तिम्रो निम्ति काम नलाग्ने व्यक्ति थियो, तर अहिले ऊ तिमी र म दुवैको निम्ति काम लाग्ने भएको छ ।
Once he was of little service to you, but now he has become of great service, not only to you, but to me as well;
12 म उसलाई, जो मेरो हृदय हो, तिमीकहाँ पठाउँदै छु ।
and I am sending him back to you with this letter – though it is like tearing out of my heart.
13 म सुसमाचारको निम्ति कारागारमा हुँदा उसले तिम्रो सट्टामा मेरो सेवा गर्न सक्ने थियो भनेर मैले उसलाई मसँगै राख्न चाहन्थेँ ।
For my own sake I should like to keep him with me, so that, while I am in prison for the good news, he might attend to my wants on your behalf.
14 तर म तिम्रो अनुमतिविना केही गर्न चाहन्नँ, किनभने म तिमीलाई मेरो निम्ति केही असल काम गर्न जबरजस्ती गर्दिनँ, तर तिमी आफैँले राजीखुसीले गरेको म चाहन्छु ।
But I do not wish to do anything without your consent, because I want your generosity to be voluntary and not, as it were, compulsory.
15 सायद अब तिमीले सदाको लागि उसलाई फिर्ता पाउन सकोस् भनेर नै ऊ केही समयको निम्ति तिमीबाट अलग भएको थियो । (aiōnios g166)
It may be that he was separated from you for an hour, for this reason, so that you might have him back for ever, (aiōnios g166)
16 अब एक दासको रूपमा होइन, तर दासभन्दा अधिक एउटा प्रिय भाइको रूपमा ग्रहण गर । म उसलाई माया गर्छु र तिमीले पनि उसलाई प्रेम गर । तिमीले उसलाई शरीरमा र प्रभुमा भाइको रूपमा प्रेम गर ।
no longer as a slave, but as something better – a dearly loved friend and follower of the Lord, especially dear to me, and how much more so to you, not only as a person, but as your fellow Christian!
17 त्यसैले, यदि मलाई सहकर्मी मानेर स्वीकार गर्छौ भने उसलाई पनि मलाई जस्तै गरी स्वीकार गर ।
If, then, you count me your friend, receive him as you would me.
18 तर यदि उसले कुनै भुल गरेको छ भने मलाई दोष लगाऊ र केही तिर्नुपर्ने छ भने मेरो हिसाबमा राखिदेऊ ।
If he has caused you any loss, or owes you anything, charge it to me.
19 म पावल, आफ्नै हातले यो कुरा लेख्दै छु, कि त्यो म तिमीलाई तिरिदिनेछु । म यो उल्लेख गर्दिनँ, कि तिमी आफ्नो जीवनको निम्ति मप्रति कति ऋणी छौ ।
I, Paul, put my own hand to it – I will repay you myself. I say nothing about your owing me your self.
20 हो, भाइ, मेरो आनन्दको निम्ति प्रभुमा केही गरिदेऊ; ख्रीष्टमा मेरो हृदयलाई ताजा पारिदेऊ ।
Yes, friend, let me gain something from you because of your union with the Lord. Cheer my heart by your Christlike spirit.
21 तिमीले मेरो आज्ञा पालन गर्छौ भन्ने निश्चयतासाथ म तिमीलाई यो पत्र लेख्दै छु । मलाई विश्वास छ, कि तिमीले मैले भनेको भन्दा पनि बढी गर्नेछौ ।
Even as I write, I have such confidence in your compliance with my wishes, that I am sure that you will do even more than I am asking.
22 साथै, मेरो निम्ति एउटा कोठा तयार गर, किनकि म आशा गर्दछु, कि तिम्रो प्रार्थनाले गर्दा चाँडै नै म तिमीलाई भेट्न आउन सक्नेछु ।
Please also get a lodging ready for me, for I hope that I will be given back to you all in answer to your prayers.
23 ख्रीष्टको निम्ति मसित कैदी भएका इपाफ्रासले पनि तिमीलाई अभिवादन पठाएका छन् ।
Epaphras, who is my fellow prisoner for Christ Jesus, sends you his greeting;
24 साथै मेरा सहकर्मीहरू मर्कूस, अरिस्तार्खस, डेमास र लूकाले पनि अभिवादन पठाएका छन् ।
and Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers, send theirs.
25 हाम्रा येशू ख्रीष्टको अनुग्रह तिम्रो आत्मासित रहोस् । आमेन ।
May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ rest on your souls.
