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

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

²to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your 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 always, making mention of you in my prayers,

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

⁵hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward 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 your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in 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 your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

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

⁸Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,

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

⁹yet for love’s sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but 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 beg you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus, Onesimus means “useful.”

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

¹¹who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.

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

¹²I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,

¹²Waan kuu soo celinayaa, isagoo qalbigayga ah.

¹³whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.

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

¹⁴But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.

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

¹⁵For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever,

¹⁵Mindhaa wuxuu cabbaar kaaga maqnaa inaad weligaa haysatid;

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.

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 you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.

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

¹⁸But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account.

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

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).

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

²⁰Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.

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

²¹Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.

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

²²Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.

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

²³Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,

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

²⁴as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

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.
