1Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker,
1Jesuh Khrih kah thongtla Paul neh Timothy loh manuca neh kaimih kah thintlo neh bibipuei Philimon,
2to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets at your house:
2ka ngannu Apphia neh kaimih kah rhalkappuei Arklipas neh nang im kah hlangboel taengah kan yaak sak.
3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3Mamih kah Pa Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh Khrih taeng lamkah Lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah nangmih taengah om saeh.
4I always thank my God, remembering you in my prayers,
4Ka thangthuinah takuem ah nang kah na saii te ka poek taitu tih ka Pathen te ka uem.
5because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.
5Boeipa Jesuh so neh hlang cim rhoek boeih soah nangmih kah lungnah neh tangnah na khueh uh te ka yaak.
6I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ.
6Te daengah ni mamih ah Khrih ham a then mingnah cungkuem neh na tangnah dongkah rhoinaengnah te khuekcet la a om eh.
7I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.
7Nang kah lungnah dongah omngaihnah neh thaphohnah muep ka khueh coeng. Manuca na saeh, nang rhangneh hlangcim rhoek kah a kotak tah paang caih uh coeng.
8So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper,
8Te dongah a tueng te tah Khrih ah sayalhnah muep khueh sak ham ni nang n'tueih.
9I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.
9Patong bangla aka om Paul long he lungnah neh lat kan hloep.
10I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.
10Tedae Khrih Jesuh kah thongtla long khaw ka ca ham te nang kan hloep coeng. Amah Onesima he hloong dongah ni ka sak.
11Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.
11Anih te hnukbuet ah nang ham a hoeihae coeng dae, tahae atah nang ham neh kai ham khaw congpang coeng.
12I am sending back to you him who is my very heart.
12Anih te nang tengah kan tueih. Te ni ka kotak ah aka om.
13I would have liked to keep him with me, so that on your behalf he could minister to me in my chains for the gospel.
13Anih te ka taengla khueh ka ngaih. Te daengah ni olthangthen kah hloong khuiah khaw nang yueng la kai m'bongyong eh.
14But 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.
14Tedae nang kah mingpueinah pawt atah saii ka ngaih moenih. Te daengah ni nang a then loh kueknah lam pawt tih, namah kongaih ningla a om eh.
15For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good—
15Tahae kah hnin at na paek uh rhoi dongah anih te dungyan na dang khaming.
16no 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.
16Anih he sal voel pawt tih sal lakah olpuei la kai ham tah thintlo manuca la om coeng. Pumsa neh Boeipa ah nang ham muep lat hoekhang coeng.
17So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
17Te dongah kai he pueipo la nan khueh atah kai bangla anih te doe.
18But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.
18Tedae nang soah thae tih lai a ba khoem atah te te kai hut la nawt laeh.
19I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self.
19Kai Paul loh kamah kut neh kan daek coeng. Kamah loh kan sah bitni. Te te nang taengah, 'Nang khaw kai lai na ba van,’ ka ti moenih.
20Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
20Thuem pai, manuca nang, kai tah nang lamlong ni Boeipa dongah ka hoeikhang. Ka kotak tah Khrih ah mong coeng.
21Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.
21Nang kah olngainah te ka pangtung dongah ni nang taengah kan daek. Ka thui te a pueh la na saii pataeng ni tila ka ming.
22In the meantime, prepare a guest room for me, because I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
22Pahoi ah kai ham khaw pahnah rhoekbah lah. Nangmih kah thangthuinah rhangneh nangmih khodawkngai ham te ka ngaiuep.
23Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings,
23Jesuh Khrih kongah kai kah thongtlapuei Epaphras,
24as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
24kai kah bibipuei rhoek Marku, Aristarkhu, Demas neh Luka loh nang te kut n'tuuk uh.
25The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
25Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah lungvatnah tah nangmih kah mueihla neh om saeh.
