< Pilemon 1 >
1 Paul lokv, Jisu Kristo lvgabv pachipatwk doonv, okv ngonugv achiboru Timoti lokv— Ngonugv ajin okv ribamdakbam nam ajin Pilemon,
Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon our beloved friend and fellow-laborer,
2 okv nonugv naam lo gvrja ribusila kaarwksinam vdw, okv ngonugv anyibormv Appia, okv ngonu ribamnam ajin sipai Archippu:
and to the beloved Apphia, and to Archippus our fellow-soldier, and to the church in thy house:
3 Ngonugv Pwknvyarnv Abu okv Ahtu Jisu Kristo gv anyuaya okv sarsopoyo ngv nonu gvlo jilwk yilaka.
Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Achiboru Pilemon, ngo aludwkibv, noogv amin am laala okv ngoogv Pwknvyarnv gvlo umbonyikv vla kumlwk jidunv.
I thank my God at all times, making mention of thee in my prayers,
5 Vkvlgabv nonu vdwgv Pwknvyarnv gv nyi mvnwng nga pakjinam lvgabv okv Jisu lo nonugv mvngjwngnam am ngo tvvpa doodunv.
hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints;
6 Ngonugv kristo gvlo turnam am akin dula kumbamjobam dubv boktalwknam sum mvngjwngnv gobv ridula arwngrungbv tvvpikaapi lakdu bv ngo kumnam si kumdunv.
that the fellowship of thy faith may become effectual in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us, for Christ Jesus.
7 Noogv paknamv, ayanam achiboru, ngo gvlo kairungnv himpu am okv mingtvmirunam am achialvbv laalwk jidu! no Pwknvyarnv gv nyi mvnwng gv haapok ka habiatata motoku.
For we have great thankfulness and comfort on account of thy love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.
8 Vkvlvkwngbv ngo chvrv rungdubv, kristo lo noogv achiboru bv rinam lokv, ogu risvdw ngo nam orto jila dunv.
Wherefore, though I have much boldness in Christ to enjoin upon thee that which is befitting,
9 Vbvrijvka ogulvgavbolo ngo nam pakdunv, nam ngo lvbula minam yangv si hv alvyagobo mvngdunv. Vbvrijvka Paul ngo svbv ridu, Jisu kristo gv nyitampingko bv ridu, okv vjvka ninyigv amin lvgabv pachipatwk lo doodunv.
yet for love's sake I beseech thee rather; being such a one as Paul an old man, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus,
10 Vkvlvgabv onesimus gv peelvbv ngo nam lvbula mindunv, ngoogv atunvgv kuunyilo bv kristo lo ridunv; pachipatwk arwng lo doori hoka ngo ninyigv dowjwklo gv abu bv ripv kunv.
I beseech thee for my child, whom I begot in my bonds, Onesimus;
11 Alu gulo no lvgabv oguguchin richindakchin mato, vbvritola vjak alv rungbv rilakvnglak duku no gvbvka okv ngo gvbvka anyi gvbv alvjvnv gobv riduku.
who in time past was unprofitable to thee, but is now profitable to thee and to me;
12 Vjak ninyia lvkodv no gvlo ngo vngkur mogv ikunv okv ngoogv haapok vka ninyigv lvkobv vngming gvvdunv.
whom I have sent back; and do thou [[receive]] him, that is, my own flesh.
13 Ngoogv lvkobv ninyia so doomu nwngto nvi, Gamlv gv lvgalo ngoogv pachipatwk doi dvdv so, vkvlvgavbolo noogv mooku hoka ninyia modurvngdur yadubv.
Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might minister to me in the bonds of the gospel;
14 Vbvrijvka, ngam ridurnam lvgabv ngo nam raitongtong nwngmado; Vbvyamabvdv, no lvgabv ngo noogv mvngnam bv um rimu nwngdunv. Vkvlvgabv no mvnglwk suma bolo ngo oguguchin rimu nyoya madunv.
but I chose to do nothing without thy consent, that thy benefit may be not as from necessity, but willingly.
15 Onesimus gv achukgo no gvlo gvngv kiyu namsi alvyago aakur lakula doobwng minggv yajikuladv vkvlvgabv kiku nvgoi. (aiōnios )
For perhaps he was separated from thee for a season to this end, that thou shouldst receive him back as thine for ever; (aiōnios )
16 Okv vjak ninyi nyira mvngchik bvkuma, vbvritola nyira am alv yasin nvbvku: Kristo lo hv ayanam achiboru ngvku. Hv ngam vdwgo pakdudw vkvgo namka kaiyago pakri nvpv, nyira bvkula okv Ahtu Jisu gvlo achiboru bvku. Anyi baabwng ngv nyira bv mvngma bv achiboru bv Ahtu Jisu gvlo ritoka!
no longer as a bond-servant, but above a bond-servant, a brother beloved, especially to me, but how much more to thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord!
17 Vkvlvgabv no ngam ajin bv mvngdu bolo, ngam umbonyikv vla laarwk sinam aingbv ninyia laarwk sutoka.
If thou then regardest me as a partner, receive him as myself.
18 Vdwlo ninyi ogugo rimur pvdw vmalo ogugo jikurrikur svgo doodudw um ngo gvlo sapnumbunam am saplwk tvka.
And if he wronged thee in anything, or oweth thee, put that to my account.
19 Soka, ngo atunvgv laak lokv si lvkdunv: Paul ngo nam dorji riku. (Nam ngo lvko mvngpa dadubv rima svngv, vbvrijvka, no atubongv ngoogv rigurriyin nvnga mvngpa ridu.)
I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will repay it; not to say to thee, that to me thou owest even thy own self besides.
20 Vkvlvga, ngokv achiboru, kaju ngokv tongbv mvnglwk gvrila Ahtu gv amin lo ritoka; kristo lo achiboru bv ngam habiatata jitoka.
Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.
21 Ngo mvngjwngdu, ngoogv lvknam sum, oguaingbv ngo tvvka pvdw no vbvching rire—nam chinrungdu ngo minam dvdv sumka um no kaiyasin bvka riri nvpv.
Having confidence in thy obedience I have written to thee, knowing that thou wilt do even more than I say.
22 Gaamgodv mindvdu, ngo lvgabv karchung lo ako mvpv jilaka, ngo mvngdu nonu mvnwng gv kumnam am Pwknvyarnv ngv tvvlaku okv ngam svbv nonu gvlo aakur modu kobv rireku.
And at the same time make ready a lodging for me; for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.
23 Epapras, ngoogv lvkobv pachipatwk lo Jisu kristo gv amin bv doonv, vdwka tulwk minggv gvrila ninyi gvbvka nam kumrwklwtak nama jilwk jidunv,
Epaphras, my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus,
24 okv ngo gv ribamdakbam nam Mark, Aristarkas, Demas, okv Luk bunu vdwka vbv jilwk minggvdu.
Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow-laborers, salute thee.
25 Nonu mvnwng lo Ahtu Jisu Kristo gv anyuaya ngv dooming gvilaka.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
