¹Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

¹Anigoo Bawlos ah oo Ciise Masiix maxbuus u ah, iyo walaalkeen Timoteyos, waxaannu warqaddan u qoraynaa Filemon oo ah gacaliyahayaga nala shaqeeya,

²And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:

²iyo walaashayo Afiya, iyo Arkhibbos oo askar nala ah, iyo kiniisadda gurigaaga ku taal.

³Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

³Nimco ha idinla jirto iyo nabad ka timaada Ilaaha Aabbeheenna ah iyo Rabbi Ciise Masiix.

⁴I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,

⁴Had iyo goorba Ilaahay baan kuugu mahad naqaa, anigoo baryadayda kugu xusuusanaya,

⁵Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

⁵waayo, waxaan maqlay jacaylka aad quduusiinta oo dhan u qabto iyo rumaysadka aad Rabbi Ciise ku rumaysato.

⁶That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

⁶Oo waxaan baryayaa in wadaagidda iimaankaagu uu socodsiiyo aqoonta wax kasta oo wanaagsan oo inoogu jira Masiixa.

⁷For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

⁷Waayo, jacaylkaaga waxaan ku haystay farxad iyo dhiirranaan badan, maxaa yeelay, qalbiga quduusiinta adaa qabowjiyey, walaalkayow.

⁸Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

⁸Sidaas daraaddeed, in kastoo aan Masiixa ku leeyahay dhiirranaan badan inaan kugu amro waxa kuu eg,

⁹Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

⁹haddana waxaan ka jeclaan lahaa inaan ku baryo jacaylka aawadiis, anigoo ah duqii Bawlos, maxbuusna Ciise Masiix u ah.

¹⁰I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:

¹⁰Waxaan kuu baryayaa wiilkayga Oneesimos oo aan dhalay anigoo xabbisan,

¹¹Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:

¹¹kii waagii hore aan waxtarka kuu lahaan jirin, haatanse adiga iyo anigaba wax ina tara.

¹²Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:

¹²Waan kuu soo celinayaa, isagoo qalbigayga ah.

¹³Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

¹³Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan sii hayo inuu aawadaa iigu adeego inta aan injiilka u xabbisanahay.

¹⁴But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

¹⁴Laakiinse ma aanan doonayn inaan sameeyo wax aadan ila ogayn, inaan wanaaggaagu noqon dirqi laakiinse uu noqdo ikhtiyaar.

¹⁵For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

¹⁵Mindhaa wuxuu cabbaar kaaga maqnaa inaad weligaa haysatid;

¹⁶Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

¹⁶laakiinse aadan mar dambe u haysan addoon sidiis, illowse si mid addoon ka wanaagsan oo ah walaal aan khusuusan anigu jeclahay, laakiinse adigu aad iga sii jeceshahay, xagga jidhka iyo xagga Rabbigaba.

¹⁷If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

¹⁷Haddaba haddaad igu tirinaysid inaan ahay saaxiibkaaga wax kula wadaaga, isaga u aqbal sidaad ii aqbali lahayd.

¹⁸If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;

¹⁸Oo hadduu ku xumeeyey ama wax kaa qabo, aniga igu xisaab.

¹⁹I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.

¹⁹Anigoo Bawlos ah waxaan gacantayda ku qorayaa, Anigaa bixin doona. Kugu odhan maayo, Wax baan kugu leeyahay xataa naftaadaba ha noqotee.

²⁰Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.

²⁰Haah, walaalkayow, xagga Rabbiga farxad aan kaa helo, qalbigaygana xagga Masiixa ku qabowji.

²¹Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.

²¹Waxaan aaminsanahay addeeciddaada, oo sidaas daraaddeed ayaan warqaddan kuugu soo qorayaa, anigoo garanaya inaad samaynaysid wax ka sii badan waxaan leeyahay.

²²But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.

²²Isla markaasna ii diyaari meel aan ku hoydo; waayo, waxaan rajaynayaa in baryadiinna laygu kiin siiyo.

²³There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;

²³Waxaa ku soo salaamaya Ebafras oo xagga Ciise Masiix maxbuus ila ah,

²⁴Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.

²⁴iyo Markos, iyo Aristarkhos, iyo Deemaas, iyo Luukos, kuwaas oo ila shaqeeya.Nimcada Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix ruuxiinna ha la jirto. Aamiin.

²⁵The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

²⁵Nimcada Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix ruuxiinna ha la jirto. Aamiin.
