Filemon 1
1 Susura ia mia au, Paulus. Au nonoo ngga Timotius o haitua sodꞌa-moleꞌ boe. Sadꞌi aꞌa muhine, ara tao au sia bui rala ia, huu au dui-bꞌengga soꞌal Yesus Kristus neu atahori. Au suraꞌ susura ia fee neu nggo, Filemon, fo hai sueꞌ a, ma mana dadꞌi hai nonoo mana tao ues ma;
Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker,
2 fee aꞌa Apfia, fo hai tao e onaꞌ hai toronoom; fee Arkipus, mana ue-tao naꞌabꞌue no hai sia ue-tataos ia ra; boe ma fee jamaꞌat mana biasa hule-oꞌe raꞌabꞌue sia umem.
to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets at your house:
3 Au oꞌe Lamatualain no hita Lamatuan Yesus Kristus ratudꞌu Rala Malole nara neu nggi, fo ona bee na, misodꞌa no mole-dꞌame.
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Filemon! Mete ma au hule-oꞌe fee nggo, au oꞌe makasi neu Lamatuaꞌ huu masodꞌam.
I always thank my God, remembering you in my prayers,
5 Au rena naeꞌ, soꞌal nemeherem neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, ma susuem neu atahori mamahereꞌ ra.
because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.
6 Huu nemeherem naa, ho bisa musodꞌa ralaꞌ esa mo atahori mamahereꞌ laen ra. Au hule-oꞌe fo mete ma hei mitudꞌu rala malole mara esa no esa, na, hei mihine lenaꞌ basa dꞌala maloleꞌ, fo hita bisa tao fee neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus.
I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ.
7 Aꞌa! Huu susuem naa, ho tao rala ngga namahoꞌo ena, ma tao manggatee rala ngga. Ma susuem naa o, tao manggatee atahori mamahereꞌ hetar rala nara ena boe.
I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.
8 Aꞌa ee! Au parlu taꞌo ia: au dadꞌi Kristus dedꞌenun. No taꞌo naa, au uꞌena hak fo parenda nggo tao dalaꞌ ia. Te au nda nau parenda-parendaꞌ sa, au ae oꞌe tulun ꞌa, onaꞌ atahori lasiꞌ ra roꞌe tulun. Au dadꞌi atahori bꞌui huu au tungga Yesus Kristus. Naa de au umburani oꞌe tulun nggo, huu uhine susuem neu atahori hetar.
So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper,
I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.
10 Au oꞌe nggo mutudꞌu susuem neu ana ngga, Onesimus. Eni, onaꞌ ana bꞌonggi ngga, huu namahere Lamatuaꞌ Yesus mia ue-tatao ngga leleꞌ au mia bui ia rala.
I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.
11 Au bubꞌuluꞌ Onesimus naa, ho atem mana nela hela nggo. Au o bubꞌuluꞌ, feꞌesaꞌan ana nda ma ngguna saa fee nggo sa boe. Te aleꞌ ia, au umuhere ana naꞌena nggunaꞌ naen seli soaꞌ neu ruꞌa nggita.
Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.
12 Au sue ala e seli, te hela neu, au fee baliꞌ e nisiꞌ nggo.
I am sending back to you him who is my very heart.
13 Matetun, au ae hela e, fo nggati nggo, fo mete-seꞌu au sia ia. Huu au nda kaꞌe ala fo tao saa-saa sia ia sa boe. Au dadꞌi atahori bꞌui huu dui-bꞌengga Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Hara-lii Malolen neu atahori.
I would have liked to keep him with me, so that on your behalf he could minister to me in my chains for the gospel.
14 Akaꞌ au nda nau fo ho tungga-tunggaꞌ a sa, huu atahori akaꞌ raꞌasusuuꞌ nggo. Au hihii ngga na, ho tao maloleꞌ huu hihii-nanaum. Dadꞌi mete ma ho nda feꞌe nau sa, na au o nda nau tao saa-saa soꞌal Onesimus ia sa boe, huu naa ho hak ma.
But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion, but by your own free will.
15 Mbeima ho duꞌa taꞌo ia: Lamatuaꞌ hela Onesimus dinggoꞌ hela nggo nda dooꞌ sa, fo neti leo baliꞌ no nggo losa doon. (aiōnios g166)
For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good— (aiōnios g166)
16 Leleꞌ ana nela, ana dadꞌiꞌ a ate ma. Te aleꞌ ia ana baliꞌ, ana dadꞌi odꞌi susuem ena. Au o sue ala e seli boe! Dadꞌi ia naa, nggunan bau namanae fee nggo. Huu ana nda dadꞌiꞌ a ate sa, te ana o dadꞌi odꞌim mana mimihere belaꞌ neu Kristus.
no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a beloved brother. He is especially beloved to me, but even more so to you, both in person and in the Lord.
17 Dadꞌi, taꞌo ia aꞌa. Mete ma ho mae au ia onaꞌ toronoo mana tao ues ma, na, au oꞌe fo ho simbo e onaꞌ ho simbo au boe.
So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
18 Te, itaꞌ mbeima hambu Onisimus tao nasalaꞌ nggo, do, feꞌe nahuta nggo, hela fo au tanggon ala.
But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.
19 Meteꞌ a! susura hutaꞌ ia, au suraꞌ endiꞌ lima heheli ngga: Au, Paulus, dei fo au bꞌae ala Onisimus huta-bꞌukun mana sia Filemon. Dai ena, do? Ma au o nda parlu uꞌingga ho huta-bꞌukum naeꞌ lenaꞌ neu au sa. Naeni, ho dadꞌi muu Lamatuaꞌ atahorin, huu au.
I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self.
20 Tebꞌe, aꞌa! Hela neu fo aꞌa tulun au sia dalaꞌ ia, huu hita bobꞌonggiꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ rala. Au tao rala ngga manggatee taꞌo naa, huu basa nggita dadꞌi Kristus enan ena.
Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
21 Aꞌa! Au suraꞌ susura ia fee nggo, huu au umuhere nggo nau rena malolole neu au. Au duꞌa ae, neꞌo tao mulenaꞌ saa fo au oꞌeꞌ a.
Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.
22 Hambu dalaꞌ esa fai. Tulun sadꞌia fee au kama esa dei. Huu au umuhere Lamatuaꞌ rena hule-oꞌe mara, de dei fo Ana soi dalaꞌ fo au kalua mia bꞌui ia, fo baliꞌ eti ita nggi sia naa.
In the meantime, prepare a guest room for me, because I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
23 Eprafas sia ia. Ana o dadꞌi atahori bꞌui huu ana dui-bꞌengga soꞌal Yesus Kristus, onaꞌ au boe. Ana haitua hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ neu nggo boe
Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings,
24 Markus, Aristarkus, Demas, no Lukas o sia ia boe. Ara tao ues raꞌabꞌue ro au boe. Ara o haitua hara sodꞌa-moleꞌ boe.
as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
25 Au oꞌe neu Hita Lamatuan Yesus Kristus fo natudꞌu rala malolen neu basa nggi. Baꞌuꞌ a naa ena! Sodꞌa-moleꞌ Paulus
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
