تحية | |
| 1 بُولُسُ، أَسِيرُ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ الأَخُ، إِلَى فِلِيمُونَ الْمَحْبُوبِ وَالْعَامِلِ مَعَنَا، | 1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer, |
|
| 2 وَإِلَى أَبْفِيَّةَ الْمَحْبُوبَةِ، وَأَرْخِبُّسَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِ مَعَنَا، وَإِلَى الْكَنِيسَةِ الَّتِي فِي بَيْتِكَ: | 2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house: |
|
| 3 نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلاَمٌ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. | 3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
|
محبة فليمون وإيمانه | |
| 4 أَشْكُرُ إِلهِي كُلَّ حِينٍ ذَاكِرًا إِيَّاكَ فِي صَلَوَاتِي، | 4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, |
|
| 5 سَامِعًا بِمَحَبَّتِكَ، وَالإِيمَانِ الَّذِي لَكَ نَحْوَ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، وَلِجَمِيعِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ، | 5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; |
|
| 6 لِكَيْ تَكُونَ شَرِكَةُ إِيمَانِكَ فَعَّالَةً فِي مَعْرِفَةِ كُلِّ الصَّلاَحِ الَّذِي فِيكُمْ لأَجْلِ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. | 6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. |
|
| 7 لأَنَّ لَنَا فَرَحًا كَثِيرًا وَتَعْزِيَةً بِسَبَبِ مَحَبَّتِكَ، لأَنَّ أَحْشَاءَ الْقِدِّيسِينَ قَدِ اسْتَرَاحَتْ بِكَ أَيُّهَا الأَخُ. | 7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother. |
|
التشفّع لأنسيمس | |
| 8 لِذلِكَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لِي بِالْمَسِيحِ ثِقَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ أَنْ آمُرَكَ بِمَا يَلِيقُ، | 8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient, |
|
| 9 مِنْ أَجْلِ الْمَحَبَّةِ، أَطْلُبُ بِالْحَرِيِّ إِذْ أَنَا إِنْسَانٌ هكَذَا نَظِيرُ بُولُسَ الشَّيْخِ، وَالآنَ أَسِيرُ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ أَيْضًا | 9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ. |
|
| 10 أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ لأَجْلِ ابْنِي أُنِسِيمُسَ، الَّذِي وَلَدْتُهُ فِي قُيُودِي، | 10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: |
|
| 11 الَّذِي كَانَ قَبْلاً غَيْرَ نَافِعٍ لَكَ، وَلكِنَّهُ الآنَ نَافِعٌ لَكَ وَلِي، | 11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me: |
|
| 12 الَّذِي رَدَدْتُهُ. فَاقْبَلْهُ، الَّذِي هُوَ أَحْشَائِي. | 12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: |
|
| 13 الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَشَاءُ أَنْ أُمْسِكَهُ عِنْدِي لِكَيْ يَخْدِمَنِي عِوَضًا عَنْكَ فِي قُيُودِ الإِنْجِيلِ ، | 13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel: |
|
| 14 وَلكِنْ بِدُونِ رَأْيِكَ لَمْ أُرِدْ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ شَيْئًا، لِكَيْ لاَ يَكُونَ خَيْرُكَ كَأَنَّهُ عَلَى سَبِيلِ الاضْطِرَارِ بَلْ عَلَى سَبِيلِ الاخْتِيَارِ. | 14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. |
|
| 15 لأَنَّهُ رُبَّمَا لأَجْلِ هذَا افْتَرَقَ عَنْكَ إِلَى سَاعَةٍ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، | 15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever; |
|
| 16 لاَ كَعَبْدٍ فِي مَا بَعْدُ، بَلْ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ: أَخًا مَحْبُوبًا، وَلاَ سِيَّمَا إِلَيَّ، فَكَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ إِلَيْكَ فِي الْجَسَدِ وَالرَّبِّ جَمِيعًا! | 16 Not 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? |
|
| 17 فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَحْسِبُنِي شَرِيكًا، فَاقْبَلْهُ نَظِيرِي. | 17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself. |
|
| 18 ثُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِشَيْءٍ، أَوْ لَكَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، فَاحْسِبْ ذلِكَ عَلَيَّ. | 18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account; |
|
| 19 أَنَا بُولُسَ كَتَبْتُ بِيَدِي: أَنَا أُوفِي. حَتَّى لاَ أَقُولُ لَكَ إِنَّكَ مَدْيُونٌ لِي بِنَفْسِكَ أَيْضًا. | 19 I 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. |
|
| 20 نَعَمْ أَيُّهَا الأَخُ، لِيَكُنْ لِي فَرَحٌ بِكَ فِي الرَّبِّ. أَرِحْ أَحْشَائِي فِي الرَّبِّ. | 20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord. |
|
| 21 إِذْ أَنَا وَاثِقٌ بِإِطَاعَتِكَ، كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ، عَالِمًا أَنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ أَيْضًا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَقُولُ. | 21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. |
|
| 22 وَمَعَ هذَا، أَعْدِدْ لِي أَيْضًا مَنْزِلاً، لأَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنَّنِي بِصَلَوَاتِكُمْ سَأُوهَبُ لَكُمْ. | 22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. |
|
تحيات ختامية | |
| 23 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ أَبَفْرَاسُ الْمَأْسُورُ مَعِي فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، | 23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus; |
|
| 24 وَمَرْقُسُ، وَأَرِسْتَرْخُسُ، وَدِيمَاسُ، وَلُوقَا الْعَامِلُونَ مَعِي. | 24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers. |
|
| 25 نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ مَعَ رُوحِكُمْ. آمِينَ. | 25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. |
