Filimoni 1
1 une ne Paulo, ne juno nikungilie vwimila kudalikila iMhola ja Yesu kilisite. nikukulembela uve Filimoni. une nunyalukolo ghwitu u uTimoteo, tukuhungila uve ghwe mughanike ghwitu, ghwe n'jiitu mumbombo.
These things speak thou, and exhort, and inculcate, with all authority; and let no one despise thee.
2 tukumuhungila nu lumbu liitu uAfisa nu mulwalilungu n'jiitu uAlikipo, palikimo na vitiki vano vikong'aana mu nyumba jaako.
and to our beloved Apphia, and to Archippus a laborer with us, and to the church in thy house.
3 ulusungu nulutengano kuhuma kwa Nguluve Nhaata ghwitu, nakwa Mutwa uYesu Kilisite, luvisaghe numue.
Grace be with you, and peace from God our father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
4 jatu pano nikukusumila, nikumwongesia uNguluve munyifunyo sango.
I thank my God always, and remember thee in my prayers,
5 ulwakuva nipulika imhola ja lwitiko lwako mwa Mutwa Yesu, nulughano lwako kuvitiiki vooni. ulwitiki lwako lukupelile kuuva nu vuhangilanisi na vange.
lo, from the time that I heard of thy faith, and of the love thou hast towards our Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints;
6 lino nikukufuunya kuuti, uvuhangilanisi uvuo vuvombaghe imbombo n'kate mulyumue kuuti, mu uluo lukuvapela kukagula inofu sooni, sino tunoghile kuvomba mwa Yesu Kilisite.
that there may be a fellowship of thy faith, yielding fruits in works, and in the knowledge of all the good things ye possess in Jesus the Messiah.
7 nyalukolo, ulughano lwako luvahovwisie avitiki mumooja ghaave. najuune lumhelile ulukeelo ulukome nakukung'angasia.
For we have great joy and consolation, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thy love.
8 lino napano nili nu vutavulilua mwa Kilisite kukukulaghila kino unoghile kuvomba, nanivomba uluo.
Therefore I might have great freedom In the Messiah, to enjoin upon thee the things that are right.
9 Looli vwimila ulughani nivwene lunono nikusuume, une ne Paulo ndavule nili mughogholo ne pinyua mwa Yesu Kilisite.
But for love's sake, I earnestly beseech thee even I, Paul, who am aged, as thou knowest, and now also a prisoner for Jesus the Messiah.
10 nikukusuma mu lwa Onesimo, juno ahene mwanango ulwakuva nintangile kukumwitika uYesu Kilisite pano nilimundinde.
I beseech thee for my son, whom I had begotten in my bonds for Onesimus;
11 uju ye akukimbiile, naakale kinu kulyuve. lino lutangilo kulyuve, kange lutangilo kulyune.
from whom formerly thou hadst no profit, but now very profitable will he be both to thee and to me; and whom I have sent to thee.
12 lino nikunsung'ha kulyuve, uju nimughanile nu mwojo ghwango ghwoni.
And receive thou him, as one begotten by me.
13 kange niveele nikeela ikale nuune aave m'bombi ghwango kuuti ahaale palyune kukunhanga, pano nilimundinde vwimila imhola inofu.
For I was desirous to retain him with me, that he might minister to me in thy stead, in these bonds for the gospel.
14 neke lino nivwene nalunono kuvomba lumonga kisila vughane vwako, nambe kukukwumilisia kuuti unhange. une nilonda uvombe muvughane vwako juuve.
But I would do nothing without consulting thee; lest thy benefit should be as if by compulsion, and not with thy pleasure.
15 pamo uNguluve akam'busisie uOnesimo kulyumue un'siki n'debe, neke pambele uuve nu mwene jaatu. kutengulila lino un'kami ghako ujuo nan'kami lwene, (aiōnios g166)
And, perhaps, also, he therefore departed from thee for a season, that thou mightest retain him for ever; (aiōnios g166)
16 looli n'kami kange nyalukolo mughanike. une nimughanile kyongo, uve ghukumughana kukila, hene mwana ghwa munyumba jaako, kange nyalukolo mwa Mutwa.
henceforth, not as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother dear to me, and much more to thee, both in the flesh and in our Lord?
17 lino nave ung'hagwile une kuti nili vuhangilanisi nuuve, umwupile ujuo ndavule ghwale ukunyupila une.
If therefore thou art in fellowship with me, receive him as one of mine.
18 neke nave akuhokile, nambe ukun'sighila kimonga, usighilaghe une.
And if he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee aught, place it to my account.
19 neke Paulo nilembile nuluvoko lwango juune, nikukuhomba. kange uve ghukagula kuuti nikukusighila kukila kino ghukun'sighila uOnesimo ulakuva mumbombo jango ija vudaliki, uve ghwavangilue.
I, Paul, have written it with my own hand, I will repay: not to say to thee, that to me thou owest thy ownself.
20 Lino nyalukolo ghwango umbombele ulu vwimila ilitavua lwa Mutwa. hovosia umwojo ghwango ndavule lunoghiile kuvanyalukolo ma Kilisite
Yes, my brother, let me be refreshed by thee in our Lord: refresh thou my bowels in the Messiah.
21 nilemba isi, ulwakuva nikaghwile kuti ghukunda, kange kyaghuvomba kukila fino nikukusuma.
Being confident that thou wilt hearken to me, I have written to thee: and I know that thou wilt do more than I say.
22 palikimo nisio unding'anikisyaghe apa kufikila, ulwakuva nihuvila kuti munyifunyo siinu, uNguluve ikunhanga niise kulyumue.
And herewith, prepare also a house for me to lodge in; for I hope that, by your prayers, I shall be given to you.
23 Uepafula juno adindilue palikimo nu mue vwimila uYesu Kilisite ghwitu ikukuhungila.
Epaphras, a fellow-captive with me in Jesus the Messiah, saluteth thee;
24 kange avavombi avajango uMalika, uAlisitaliko, uDema nu Luuka, vikukuhungila.
and Mark, and Aristarchus, and Demas, and Luke, my coadjutors.
25 ulusungu lwa Mutwa ghwitu Yesu Kilisite luvisaghe numue.
The grace of our Lord Jesus the Messiah be with your spirit, my brethren. Amen.
