Filemon 1
1 Anigoo Bawlos ah oo Ciise Masiix maxbuus u ah, iyo walaalkeen Timoteyos, waxaannu warqaddan u qoraynaa Filemon oo ah gacaliyahayaga nala shaqeeya,
From Paul, now a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and from Timothy, a fellow follower of the Lord.
2 iyo walaashayo Afiya, iyo Arkhibbos oo askar nala ah, iyo kiniisadda gurigaaga ku taal.
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 Nimco ha idinla jirto iyo nabad ka timaada Ilaaha Aabbeheenna ah iyo Rabbi Ciise Masiix.
may God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
4 Had iyo goorba Ilaahay baan kuugu mahadnaqaa, anigoo baryadayda kugu xusuusanaya,
I always mention you in my prayers and thank God for you,
5 waayo, waxaan maqlay jacaylka aad quduusiinta oo dhan u qabto iyo rumaysadka aad Rabbi Ciise ku rumaysato.
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 Oo waxaan baryayaa in wadaagidda iimaankaagu uu socodsiiyo aqoonta wax kasta oo wanaagsan oo inoogu jira Masiixa.
and I pray that your participation in the faith may result in action, as you come to a fuller realization of everything that is good and Christlike in us.
7 Waayo, jacaylkaaga waxaan ku haystay farxad iyo dhiirranaan badan, maxaa yeelay, qalbiga quduusiinta adaa qabowjiyey, walaalkayow.
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 Sidaas daraaddeed, in kastoo aan Masiixa ku leeyahay dhiirranaan badan inaan kugu amro waxa kuu eg,
And so, though my union with Christ enables me, with all confidence, to dictate the course that you should adopt,
9 haddana waxaan ka jeclaan lahaa inaan ku baryo jacaylka aawadiis, anigoo ah duqii Bawlos, maxbuusna Ciise Masiix u ah.
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 Waxaan kuu baryayaa wiilkayga Oneesimos oo aan dhalay anigoo xabbisan,
I plead with you for this child of mine, Onesimus, to whom, in my prison, I have become a father.
11 kii waagii hore aan waxtarka kuu lahaan jirin, haatanse adiga iyo anigaba wax ina tara.
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 Waan kuu soo celinayaa, isagoo qalbigayga ah.
and I am sending him back to you with this letter – though it is like tearing out of my heart.
13 Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan sii hayo inuu aawadaa iigu adeego inta aan injiilka u xabbisanahay.
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 Laakiinse ma aanan doonayn inaan sameeyo wax aadan ila ogayn, inaan wanaaggaagu noqon dirqi laakiinse uu noqdo ikhtiyaar.
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.
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 laakiinse aadan mar dambe u haysan addoon sidiis, illowse si mid addoon ka wanaagsan oo ah walaal aan khusuusan anigu jeclahay, laakiinse adigu aad iga sii jeceshahay, xagga jidhka iyo xagga Rabbigaba.
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 Haddaba haddaad igu tirinaysid inaan ahay saaxiibkaaga wax kula wadaaga, isaga u aqbal sidaad ii aqbali lahayd.
If, then, you count me your friend, receive him as you would me.
18 Oo hadduu ku xumeeyey ama wax kaa qabo, aniga igu xisaab.
If he has caused you any loss, or owes you anything, charge it to me.
19 Anigoo Bawlos ah waxaan gacantayda ku qorayaa, Anigaa bixin doona. Kugu odhan maayo, Wax baan kugu leeyahay xataa naftaadaba ha noqotee.
I, Paul, put my own hand to it – I will repay you myself. I say nothing about your owing me your self.
20 Haah, walaalkayow, xagga Rabbiga farxad aan kaa helo, qalbigaygana xagga Masiixa ku qabowji.
Yes, friend, let me gain something from you because of your union with the Lord. Cheer my heart by your Christlike spirit.
21 Waxaan aaminsanahay addeeciddaada, oo sidaas daraaddeed ayaan warqaddan kuugu soo qorayaa, anigoo garanaya inaad samaynaysid wax ka sii badan waxaan leeyahay.
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 Isla markaasna ii diyaari meel aan ku hoydo; waayo, waxaan rajaynayaa in baryadiinna laygu kiin siiyo.
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 Waxaa ku soo salaamaya Ebafras oo xagga Ciise Masiix maxbuus ila ah,
Epaphras, who is my fellow prisoner for Christ Jesus, sends you his greeting;
24 iyo Markos, iyo Aristarkhos, iyo Deemaas, iyo Luukos, kuwaas oo ila shaqeeya.
and Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers, send theirs.
25 Nimcada Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix ruuxiinna ha la jirto. Aamiin.
May the blessing of the Lord Jesus Christ rest on your souls.
