1Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker,
1Ma sel Paul, sie mwet kapir ke sripen Christ Jesus, ac sel Timothy, sie mwet lulalfongi wiasr — Nu sel Philemon, su mwet kawuk ac mwet orekma wiasr,
2to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets at your house:
2ac nu sin mwet in church su tukeni in lohm sum; oayapa Apphia, sie mutan wiasr in lulalfongi, ac Archippus, mwet wiasr in mweuni ma koluk.
3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3Lela God Papa tumasr, ac Leum Jesus Christ in asot nu suwos lungkulang ac misla.
4I always thank my God, remembering you in my prayers,
4Philemon, mwet kawuk luk, pacl nukewa nga pre uh nga esam kom na, ac nga sang kulo nu sin God luk keim.
5because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.
5Mweyen nga lohng ke lungse lom nu selos nukewa mwet lun God, ac ke lulalfongi lom ke Leum Jesus.
6I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ.
6Nga pre tuh sie sin sie lasr kewa mwet lulalfongi, fah mwe akyokye kalem lasr ke mwe insewowo nukewa su kut eis ke sripen moul in asruoki lasr yurin Christ.
7I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.
7Mwet kawuk saok luk, lungse lom inge akenganyeyu ac akkeyeyu ma lulap! Kom arulana akpwaryeak insien mwet lun God nukewa.
8So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper,
8Sripa inge oru oasr pulaik luk, oana ke nga mwet lili lom in Christ, in sapkin ma fal kom in oru.
9I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.
9Tusruktu ke sripen lungse luk nu sum, nga tia sap, a nga ngisre kom. Nga oru ouinge finne nga pa Paul, mwet tutafpo lun Christ Jesus, ac inge nga oayapa sie mwet kapir ke sripal.
10I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.
10Ouinge nga siyuk sum kacl Onesimus, su oana sie wen nutik in Christ; tuh ke nga muta in presin nga oana sie papa tumal in ngun.
11Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.
11Sie pacl ah tuh wangin sripal nu sum, tusruktu inge oasr sripal nu sum ac oayapa nu sik.
12I am sending back to you him who is my very heart.
12Inge nga folokunulot nu yurum, ac nunak luk kacl uh welul fahsrot.
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.
13Nga kena sruokilya elan wiyu muta inge, ke nga muta in presin ke sripen Wosasu, elan ku in aol kom kasreyu.
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.
14Tusruktu, nga tia lungse akkohsye kom in kasreyu; a nga ke kom in oru ke lungse na lom. Ke ma inge nga ac tia oru kutena ma kom fin tia insese nu kac.
15For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good—
15Sahp Onesimus el tuh som liki kom ke kitin pacl tuh kom in mau ku in sifil eisal elan mutana yurum nwe tok.
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.
16El ne mwet kohs se lom, tuh el tia ana mwet kohs se, mweyen inge el sie mwet lulalfongi saok wiom in Christ. Yohk na pwaye sripal nu sik! Ac el fah arulana yohk pac sripal nu sum, ke el sie mwet foko lom ac oayapa sie mwet lulalfongi wiom in Leum!
17So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
17Ke ma inge, kom fin motko mu kital tukeni in orekma se inge, kom in engan in sifilpa eisal nu yurum oana ke kom ac eisyu uh.
18But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.
18El fin tuh orala kutu ma tafongla, ku soemoul nu sum ke kutena ma, kom oakla mu ma nga ac akfalye.
19I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self.
19Nga fah simis ma inge ke pouk sifacna: Nga, Paul, ac fah moli nu sum . (Nga tia sruk enenu in akesmakinye kom lah kom soemoul nu sik ke moul lom sifacna.)
20Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
20Ouinge, mwet lili luk, nunak munas oru enenu se luk inge Inen Leum. Akpwaryeyuyak, oana ke kital tukeni lulalfongi ke Christ!
21Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.
21Ke nga simis ma inge nga etu na lah kom ac fah oru ma nga siyuk uh — aok, nga etu lah kom ac fah laesla in oru yohk liki.
22In the meantime, prepare a guest room for me, because I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
22Ac oayapa nga siyuk kom in akoela nien muta luk, mweyen nga finsrak mu God El ac fah topuk pre lowos an, ac folokinyuwot nu yuruwos.
23Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings,
23Epaphras, su wiyu pac kapir ke sripen Christ Jesus, el supu lung lal nu suwos,
24as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
24ac oayapa mwet ma wiyu orekma inge: Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, ac Luke.
25The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
25Lungkulang lun Leum Jesus Christ in wi kowos nukewa.
