Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
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 the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in 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 to you and peace 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 thank my God always, making mention of 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.
5hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
5Mweyen nga lohng ke lungse lom nu selos nukewa mwet lun God, ac ke lulalfongi lom ke Leum Jesus.
6that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.
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.
7For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
7Mwet kawuk saok luk, lungse lom inge akenganyeyu ac akkeyeyu ma lulap! Kom arulana akpwaryeak insien mwet lun God nukewa.
8Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
8Sripa inge oru oasr pulaik luk, oana ke nga mwet lili lom in Christ, in sapkin ma fal kom in oru.
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.
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, whom I have become the father of in my 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.
11who once was useless to you, but now is useful 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 him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
12Inge nga folokunulot nu yurum, ac nunak luk kacl uh welul fahsrot.
13whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
13Nga kena sruokilya elan wiyu muta inge, ke nga muta in presin ke sripen Wosasu, elan ku in aol kom kasreyu.
14But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of 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 he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever,
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 more than a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh 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!
17If then you count 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 at all or owes you anything, put that 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 to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).
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 joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
20Ouinge, mwet lili luk, nunak munas oru enenu se luk inge Inen Leum. Akpwaryeyuyak, oana ke kital tukeni lulalfongi ke Christ!
21Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
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.
22Also, prepare a guest room for me, for 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, greets you,
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 our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
25Lungkulang lun Leum Jesus Christ in wi kowos nukewa.
