Berean Standard Bible
1Kri Jesu pongah thongim krah, Pawl hoi aicae amnawk Timote mah, a palung o ih, tok nawnto sah ampui Filemon,
1Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker,
2a palung o ih tanuh Apphia, aicae hoi misa nawnto tuh Arkhipa hoi na im ah amkhueng kricaanawk khaeah ca tarik:
2to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets at your house:
3Angraeng Jesu Kri hoi aicae Ampa Sithaw khae hoi ih tahmenhaih hoi monghaih to nangcae khaeah om nasoe.
3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4Angraeng, Jesu tanghaih na tawnh moe, kaciim kaminawk boih to na palung ti, tiah ka thaih naah, ka Sithaw khaeah kawnhaih lawk ka thuih toepsoep;
4I always thank my God, remembering you in my prayers,
no verse 5 in this text
5because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.
6Jesu Kri ah na tawnh ih kahoih hmuennawk boih na panoekhaih rang hoiah, minawk khaeah tanghaih kawng na thuih naah caak o thai tangtang hanah lawk ka thuih.
6I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ.
7Kam nawk, kaciim kaminawk ih palungthin to nang thasak let pongah, to baktih nam lunghaih mah kaicae han thuilaek ai anghoehaih to ang paek.
7I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.
8To pongah ni Kri ah misa ka hoih parai moe, na sak han koi kahoih hmuen to sak hanah, lok kang thuih thaih,
8So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper,
9toe saning kacoeh, Jesu Kri ih thongkrah kami ah kaom kai Pawl mah, amlunghaih hoiah ni tahmenhaih kang hnik.
9I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.
10Thongim krak nathung ka capa ah sak ih, Onesima hanah tahmenhaih kang hnik pae:
10I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.
11anih loe canghniah nang han avanghaih om ai, toe vaihi loe nang hoi kai hanah atho kaom kami ah oh boeh.
11Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.
12Anih to nang khaeah kang patoeh let: anih to kai thung hoi tacawt kami baktih toengah talawk ah:
12I am sending back to you him who is my very heart.
13kahoih tamthanglok ka thuih pongah thongim ka krak naah kai khetzawn hanah, nang zuengah anih to kaimah khaeah ohsak han ka koeh:
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.
14toe nang bomhaih loe tha hoiah saksak nganga ih baktiah om ai ah, na sak koehhaih palungthin hoiah saksak han ih ni kang koeh haih, to pongah nang naakrakhaih om ai ah loe tidoeh sak han ka koeh ai.
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.
15Anih hoi nawnto dungzan ah na oh han ih kalang mue, anih mah nawnetta thung ang cawnhtaak.
15For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good—
16Toe anih loe vaihi tamna ah om ai boeh, tamna pongah sang boeh, kai hanah loe palung ih kam nawk baktiah ni oh, nang han cae loe taksa hoi Angraeng ah kawkruk maw palung ih amnawk baktiah om aep tih?
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.
17Kai hae toksah ampui ah na poek nahaeloe, anih doeh kai baktih toengah talawk ah.
17So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
18Nang khaeah hmuen sakpazaehaih maw, pathok han koi laiba maw om nahaeloe, kai taham ah suem ah.
18But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.
19Kai, Pawl mah kaimah ih ban hoi roe ca kang tarik: toe kaimah kang rong pae han, na hinghaih ah kai khae laiba na tawnh, tiah kang thuih han angai ai.
19I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self.
20Ue, kam nawk, Angraeng ah anghoehaih na paek ah: Angraeng ah kai ih palungthin to angthasak ah.
20Yes, brother, let me have some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
21Ka lok nang tahngai pae tih, tiah oephaih ka tawnh, to khue ai kang hnik ih hmuen pongah doeh kapop kueah na sah tih, tiah panoekhaih hoiah ni ca kang tarik.
21Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.
22Toe pacoengah, ka toemh han ih ahmuen to paroep coek ah: lawk na thuih o haih rang hoiah nangcae khaeah kang zo thai tih, tiah ka poek.
22In the meantime, prepare a guest room for me, because I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
23Kri Jesu ah kai hoi nawnto thongim krah Epaphra mah ban ang sin o;
23Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings,
24tok nawnto sah kami Marka, Aristarka, Dema hoi Luka cae mah doeh ban ang sin o.
24as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
25Aicae Angraeng Jesu Kri tahmenhaih loe nangcae ih muithla hoi nawnto om nasoe.
25The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
