Fiilmoonaa 1
1 Phaawulos isa Kiristoos Yesuusiif jedhee hidhamee fi obboleessa keenya Xiimotewos irraa, Gara Fiilmoonaa isa jaallatamaa fi hojjetaa hidhata keenya taʼe sanaatti;
Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our dear helper in the faith,
2 akkanumas gara obboleettii keenya Aphifiyaatti, gara Arkiphaa isa nu wajjin loltuu taʼeetti, gara waldaa kiristaanaa ishee mana keetti walitti qabamtuuttis:
And to Apphia, our sister, and to Archippus, our brother in God's army, and to the church in your house:
3 Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa irraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Ani yeroo kadhannaa koo keessatti si yaadadhu hunda Waaqa koo nan galateeffadha;
I give praise to God at all times and make prayer for you,
5 ani waaʼee amantii kee kan ati Gooftaa Yesuusitti qabduu fi waaʼee jaalala kee kan ati qulqulloota isaa hundaaf qabduu nan dhagaʼaatii.
Hearing of the love and the faith which you have to the Lord Jesus and to all the saints;
6 Ani akka ati waaʼee waan gaarii nu Kiristoosiin qabnu hundumaa hubannaa guutuu qabaattee amantii kee namaan gaʼuuf jabaattu nan kadhadha.
That the faith which you have in common with them may be working with power, in the knowledge of every good thing in you, for Christ.
7 Yaa obboleessa, waan ati garaa qulqullootaa qabbaneessiteef jaalalli kee gammachuu fi jajjabina guddaa naa kenneera.
For I had great joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been made strong again through you, brother.
8 Kanaafuu ani akka ati waan hojjechuu qabdu hojjetu si ajajuuf yoo Kiristoosiin ija jabina qabaadhe illee,
And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,
9 sababii jaalalaatiif cimseen si kadhadha. Egaa ani Phaawulos jaarsichii fi ammas Kiristoos Yesuusiif kanan hidhame,
Still, because of love, in place of an order, I make a request to you, I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner of Christ Jesus:
10 ilma koo Oneesimoos isa ani hidhamuu kootiin dhalche sanaaf sin kadhadha.
My request is for my child Onesimus, the child of my chains,
11 Inni kanaan dura nama homaa si hin fayyadne ture; amma garuu siifis anaafis nama faayidaa qabu taʼeera.
Who in the past was of no profit to you, but now is of profit to you and to me:
12 Ani isa, nama akka garaa kootii sana deebisee gara keetti nan erga.
Whom I have sent back to you, him who is my very heart:
13 Ani yeroon wangeelaaf hidhametti inni iddoo kee buʼee akka na tajaajiluuf of biratti isa hambifachuu barbaadeen ture.
Though my desire was to keep him with me, to be my servant in the chains of the good news, in your place:
14 Ani garuu gaarummaan kee utuu dirqamaan hin taʼin fedhiidhaan akka taʼuuf waanuma tokko illee eeyyama kee malee gochuu hin barbaanne.
But without your approval I would do nothing; so that your good works might not be forced, but done freely from your heart.
15 Tarii inni yeroo gabaabaaf siin gargar baʼuun isaa akka ati deebiftee isa simattee hamma dhumaatti of bira tursituuf taʼa; (aiōnios g166)
For it is possible that for this reason he was parted from you for a time, so that you might have him for ever; (aiōnios g166)
16 atis siʼachi akka garbichaatti utuu hin taʼin, akka obboleessa jaallatamaa garbicha caalu tokkootti isa simadhu. Inni keessumattuu erga anaaf akkas jaallatamaa taʼe siif immoo fooniinis Gooftaadhaanis hammam caalaa jaallatamaa haa taʼu ree?
No longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother, very dear to me specially, but much more to you, in the flesh as well as in the Lord.
17 Egaa ati yoo akka michuu keetiitti na ilaalte akkuma na simatutti isas simadhu.
If then you take me to be your friend and brother, take him in as myself.
18 Yoo inni waanuma tokkoon illee si yakkee jiraate yookaan ati yoo waanuma tokko illee isa irraa qabaatte natti lakkaaʼi.
If he has done you any wrong or is in debt to you for anything, put it to my account.
19 Ani Phaawulos siifan kaffala jedhee harkuma kootiin barreesseera. Akka ati mataan kee iyyuu kan koo taate ani homaa sitti hin himu.
I, Paul, writing this myself, say, I will make payment to you: and I do not say to you that you are in debt to me even for your life.
20 Egaa yaa obboleessa, ani Gooftaadhaan faayidaa kana sirraa argachuu nan barbaada; Kiristoositti garaa koo naa qabbaneessi.
So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.
21 Akka ati waan ani si kadhadhu caalaa naa gootu beekuudhaan ajajamuu kee amanadhee siifan barreessa.
Being certain that you will do my desire, I am writing to you, in the knowledge that you will do even more than I say.
22 Kana malees ani kadhannaa keessaniin akkan isiniif kennamu waanan abdadhuuf mana boqonnaa naa qopheessi.
And make a room ready for me; for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be given to you.
23 Ephaafiraan inni Kiristoos Yesuusiif jedhee na wajjin hidhame nagaa siif dhaama.
Epaphras, my brother-prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you his love;
24 Akkasumas warri na wajjin hojjetan Maarqos, Arisxirokoos, Deemaasii fi Luqaas nagaa siif dhaamu.
And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my brother-workers.
25 Ayyaanni Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos hafuura keessan wajjin haa taʼu.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. So be it.
