1Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
1NA Paulo he pio no Iesu Kriato, a na Timoteo ka hoahanau, ia Pilemona i ko maua mea aloha, a me ka hoalawehana,
2to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
2A ia Apia hoi i alohaia, a ia Arekipo i ko kakou hoakoa, a i ka ekalesia hoi iloko o kou hale:
3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3Ia oukou ke aloha a me ka maluhia mai ke Akua mai o ko kakou Makua a me ka Haku o Iesu Kristo.
4I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
4Ke hoomaikai mau aku nei au i ko'u Akua, e hoohiki mau ana ia oe ma ka'u pule ana,
5hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
5I ko'u lohe ana'ku i kou aloha a me kou manaoio i ka Haku ia Iesu, a i ka poe haipule a pau;
6that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.
6I lilo ka hui ana mai o kou manaoio i mea ikaika e hooiaioia mai ai na mea maikai a pau iloko o oukou no Kristo Iesu.
7For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
7No ka mea, he nui no ko makou olioli a me ka oluolu no kou aloha, no ka mea, ua hoohoihoiia ns naau o ka poe haipule e oe, e ka hoahanau.
8Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
8Nolaila, oiai ua hiki no ia'u iloko o Kristo ke kauleo ikaika aku ia oe i ka mea e pono ai;
9yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
9Aka hoi, no ke aloha, ke makemake nei no au e nonoi malie aku, owau no, o Paulo ka elemakule e noho nei, a he pio no hoi no Iesu Kristo;
10I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains,
10Ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe no ka'u keiki a'u i hoohanau aku nei iloko o ko'u paa ana, no Onesimo:
11who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
11Ka mea pono ole nou mamua, ano hoi he mea pono io no kaua:
12I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
12Oia ka'u e hoihoi aku nei; nolaila e hookipa oe ia ia, oia hoi, o kou naau iho.
13whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
13Ua makemake nae au e kaohi ia ia e noho pu me an, i hiki ia ia ke malama mai ia'u nou, i kuu paa ana no ka euanelio:
14But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
14Aka, aole loa o'u manao e hana pela me kou ae ole mai; i like ole keia pono ou me he mea la i kaili wale ia aka, no ka naau mai.
15For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever,
15No ka mea, ua hookaawaleia mai paha ia i ka wa pokole i lilo hou aku ia nou mau loa;
16no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
16Aole me he kauwa la ma ia hope, aka, me he mea la e oi i ke kauwa, he hoahanau punahele, pela io ia'u, a he oiaio maoli no ia oe, ma ke kino, a maloko hoi o ka Haku.
17If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
17A ina i manao mai oe ia'u he hoalawepu, e hookipa oe ia ia e like me ia'u uei.
18But if he has wronged you at all or owes you anything, put that to my account.
18A ina ua lawehala oia i kau, a ua aie paha, o kau ia e hooili mai ai maluna o'u;
19I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).
19Na'u na Paulo nei i kakau iho keia me ko'u lima ponoi, na'u ia e uku aku; aole nae me ka olelo aku ia oe, o oe iho no ka i aie ia oe iho na'u.
20Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
20Oiaio hoi, e ka hoahanau, no'u kahi olioli ia oe iloko o ka Haku; e hoomaha mai oe i ko'u naau maloko o ka Haku.
21Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
21No ka paulele aku i kou hoolohe ana mai, ua palapala aku au ia oe, me ka ike aku hoi e oi aku no kau hana ana mamua o ko'u olelo ana'ku.
22Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
22Eia kekahi, e hoomakaukau e oe i wahi no'u e moe ai; no ka mea, ke manaolana nei au, no ka oukou pule ana e haawiia'ku ai au ia oukou.
23Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
23Ke aloha aku nei ia oe o Epapera, o ko'u hoapio iloko o Kristo Iesu;
24as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
24A o Mareko, a o Arisetareko, o Dema, o Luka hoi, o ko'u mau hoalawehana.
25The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
25E alohaia mai ko oukou uhane e ko kakou Haku e Iesu Kristo. Amene.
