¹Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker,

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

²and Apphia the beloved, and Archippus our fellow-soldier, and the assembly 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 give thanks to my God, always making mention of thee in my prayers,

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

⁵hearing of thy love and faith that thou hast unto the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

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

⁶that the fellowship of thy faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that [is] in you toward Christ Jesus;

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

⁷for we have much joy and comfort in thy love, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed through thee, brother.

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

⁸Wherefore, having in Christ much boldness to command thee that which is fit —

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

⁹because of the love I rather entreat, 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 entreat thee concerning my child — whom I did beget in my bonds — Onesimus,

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

¹¹who once was to thee unprofitable, and now is profitable to me and to thee,

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

¹²whom I did send again, and thou him (that is, my own bowels) receive,

¹²Waan kuu soo celinayaa, isagoo qalbigayga ah.

¹³whom I did wish to retain to myself, that in thy behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the good news,

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

¹⁴and apart from thy mind I willed to do nothing, that as of necessity thy good deed may not be, but of willingness,

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

¹⁵for perhaps because of this he did depart for an hour, that age-duringly thou mayest have him,

¹⁵Mindhaa wuxuu cabbaar kaaga maqnaa inaad weligaa haysatid;

¹⁶no more as a servant, but above a servant — a brother beloved, especially to me, and how much more to 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, then, with me thou hast fellowship, receive him as me,

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

¹⁸and if he did hurt to thee, or doth owe anything, this to me be reckoning;

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

¹⁹I, Paul did write with my hand, I — I will repay; that I may not say that also thyself, besides, to me thou dost owe.

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

²⁰Yes, brother, may I have profit 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 been confident in thy obedience I did write to thee, having known that also above what I may say thou wilt do;

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

²²and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you.

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

²³Salute thee doth Epaphras, (my fellow-captive in Christ Jesus,)

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

²⁴Markus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lukas, my fellow-workmen!

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 [is] with your spirit! Amen.

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