Philemon 1

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

1 بُولُسُ، أَسِيرُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ، وَتِيمُوثَاوُسُ ٱلْأَخُ، إِلَى فِلِيمُونَ ٱلْمَحْبُوبِ وَٱلْعَامِلِ مَعَنَا،

2 to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets at your house:

2 وَإِلَى أَبْفِيَّةَ ٱلْمَحْبُوبَةِ، وَأَرْخِبُّسَ ٱلْمُتَجَنِّدِ مَعَنَا، وَإِلَى ٱلْكَنِيسَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي بَيْتِكَ:

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

3 نِعْمَةٌ لَكُمْ وَسَلَامٌ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَبِينَا وَٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ.

4 I always thank my God, remembering you in my prayers,

4 أَشْكُرُ إِلَهِي كُلَّ حِينٍ ذَاكِرًا إِيَّاكَ فِي صَلَوَاتِي،

5 because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.

5 سَامِعًا بِمَحَبَّتِكَ، وَٱلْإِيمَانِ ٱلَّذِي لَكَ نَحْوَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، وَلِجَمِيعِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ،

6 I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ.

6 لِكَيْ تَكُونَ شَرِكَةُ إِيمَانِكَ فَعَّالَةً فِي مَعْرِفَةِ كُلِّ ٱلصَّلَاحِ ٱلَّذِي فِيكُمْ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

7 I take great joy and encouragement in your love, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.

7 لِأَنَّ لَنَا فَرَحًا كَثِيرًا وَتَعْزِيَةً بِسَبَبِ مَحَبَّتِكَ، لِأَنَّ أَحْشَاءَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ قَدِ ٱسْتَرَاحَتْ بِكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَخُ.

8 So although in Christ I am bold enough to order you to do what is proper,

8 لِذَلِكَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ لِي بِٱلْمَسِيحِ ثِقَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ أَنْ آمُرَكَ بِمَا يَلِيقُ،

9 I prefer to appeal on the basis of love. For I, Paul, am now aged, and a prisoner of Christ Jesus as well.

9 مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ، أَطْلُبُ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ- إِذْ أَنَا إِنْسَانٌ هَكَذَا نَظِيرُ بُولُسَ ٱلشَّيْخِ، وَٱلْآنَ أَسِيرُ يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ أَيْضًا -

10 I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I became while I was in chains.

10 أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ لِأَجْلِ ٱبْنِي أُنِسِيمُسَ، ٱلَّذِي وَلَدْتُهُ فِي قُيُودِي،

11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.

11 ٱلَّذِي كَانَ قَبْلًا غَيْرَ نَافِعٍ لَكَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ نَافِعٌ لَكَ وَلِي،

12 I am sending back to you him who is my very heart.

12 ٱلَّذِي رَدَدْتُهُ. فَٱقْبَلْهُ، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ أَحْشَائِي.

13 I would have liked to keep him with me, so that on your behalf he could minister to me in my chains for the gospel.

13 ٱلَّذِي كُنْتُ أَشَاءُ أَنْ أُمْسِكَهُ عِنْدِي لِكَيْ يَخْدِمَنِي عِوَضًا عَنْكَ فِي قُيُودِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ،

14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that your goodness will not be out of compulsion, but by your own free will.

14 وَلَكِنْ بِدُونِ رَأْيِكَ لَمْ أُرِدْ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ شَيْئًا، لِكَيْ لَا يَكُونَ خَيْرُكَ كَأَنَّهُ عَلَى سَبِيلِ ٱلِٱضْطِرَارِ بَلْ عَلَى سَبِيلِ ٱلِٱخْتِيَارِ.

15 For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for good—

15 لِأَنَّهُ رُبَّمَا لِأَجْلِ هَذَا ٱفْتَرَقَ عَنْكَ إِلَى سَاعَةٍ، لِكَيْ يَكُونَ لَكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ،

16 no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a beloved brother. He is especially beloved to me, but even more so to you, both in person and in the Lord.

16 لَا كَعَبْدٍ فِي مَا بَعْدُ، بَلْ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ: أَخًا مَحْبُوبًا، وَلَا سِيَّمَا إِلَيَّ، فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ إِلَيْكَ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ وَٱلرَّبِّ جَمِيعًا!

17 So if you consider me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.

17 فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَحْسِبُنِي شَرِيكًا، فَٱقْبَلْهُ نَظِيرِي.

18 But if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to my account.

18 ثُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِشَيْءٍ، أَوْ لَكَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ، فَٱحْسِبْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ.

19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand. I will repay it—not to mention that you owe me your very self.

19 أَنَا بُولُسَ كَتَبْتُ بِيَدِي: أَنَا أُوفِي. حَتَّى لَا أَقُولُ لَكَ إِنَّكَ مَدْيُونٌ لِي بِنَفْسِكَ أَيْضًا.

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

20 نَعَمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَخُ، لِيَكُنْ لِي فَرَحٌ بِكَ فِي ٱلرَّبِّ. أَرِحْ أَحْشَائِي فِي ٱلرَّبِّ.

21 Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

21 إِذْ أَنَا وَاثِقٌ بِإِطَاعَتِكَ، كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ، عَالِمًا أَنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ أَيْضًا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَقُولُ.

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

22 وَمَعَ هَذَا، أَعْدِدْ لِي أَيْضًا مَنْزِلًا، لِأَنِّي أَرْجُو أَنَّنِي بِصَلَوَاتِكُمْ سَأُوهَبُ لَكُمْ.

23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings,

23 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ أَبَفْرَاسُ ٱلْمَأْسُورُ مَعِي فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ،

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

24 وَمَرْقُسُ وَأَرِسْتَرْخُسُ وَدِيمَاسُ وَلُوقَا ٱلْعَامِلُونَ مَعِي.

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

25 نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مَعَ رُوحِكُمْ. آمِينَ.
