腓利門書-Philemon 第 1 章

1:1基督耶穌的囚犯保羅,和弟兄提摩太,寫信給所愛的並我們的同工腓利門,
Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow worker
1:2和姊妹亞腓亞,並與我們一同當兵的亞基布,以及在你家中的召會:
And to Apphia the sister and to Archippus our fellow soldier and to the church, which is in your house:
1:3願恩典與平安,從神我們的父,並主耶穌基督歸與你們。
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:4我禱告的時候提到你,常常感謝我的神,
I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
1:5因聽見你對主耶穌,並對眾聖徒的愛與信;
Hearing of your love and the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and to all the saints,
1:6願你信的交通顯出功效,使人充分認識你們裡面為著基督的各樣善事。
That the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the full knowledge of every good thing which is in you for Christ.
1:7因為弟兄啊,我因你的愛,大大喜樂,滿受鼓勵,因為眾聖徒的心腸藉著你得了舒暢。
For I had much joy and encouragement over your love, because the inward parts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
1:8為此,我雖然在基督裡能大有膽量吩咐你合宜的事,
Therefore though I have much boldness in Christ to charge you what is fitting,
1:9然而像我這有年紀的保羅,現在又是基督耶穌的囚犯,寧可因著愛懇求你,
Because of love I rather entreat, being such a one as Paul the aged and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus.
1:10就是為我在捆鎖中所生的孩子歐尼西母懇求你;
I entreat you concerning my child, whom I have begotten in my bonds, Onesimus,
1:11他從前對你沒有益處,但如今對你我都有益處。
Who formerly was useless to you but now is useful both to you and to me.
1:12我現在打發他回你那裡去,他乃是我心上的人。
Him I have sent back to you -- him, that is, my very heart --
1:13我本有意將他留在身邊,使他在我為福音所受的捆鎖中,替你服事我。
Whom I intended to keep with myself that on your behalf he might minister to me in the bonds of the gospel.
1:14但未得知你的意見,我就不願作什麼,好叫你的善行不像是出於勉強,乃是出於甘心。
But without your mind I did not want to do anything, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but voluntary.
1:15因為他暫時離開你,或者是叫你可以永遠完全得著他,
For perhaps for this reason he was separated from you for but an hour, that you might fully have him forever,
1:16不再是奴僕,乃是高過奴僕,是親愛的弟兄,對我固然是如此,對你,不拘在肉身上,或在主裡,豈不都更是這樣。
No longer as a slave, but above a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
1:17所以,你若以我為同夥,就接納他,如同接納我一樣。
If then you hold me as a partner, receive him as myself.
1:18他若虧負你,或欠你什麼,這都歸在我的賬上;
And if he has wronged you in anything or owes anything, charge that to my account.
1:19我必償還,這是我保羅親筆寫的。我並不用對你說,連你自己也是虧欠於我。
I, Paul, have written with my own hand: I will repay; not to say to you that you owe me even your own self besides.
1:20弟兄啊,是的,願我在主裡從你得著益處,願你使我的心腸在基督裡得舒暢。
Yes, brother, may I have profit from you in the Lord; refresh my inward parts in Christ.
1:21我寫信給你,深信你必順從,知道你所要行的,甚至必過於我所說的。
Having confidence in your obedience, I have written to you, knowing that you will do even beyond the things that I say.
1:22同時,你還要給我預備住所,因為我盼望藉著你們的禱告,我可當作恩典賜給你們。
And at the same time also prepare me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I will be graciously given to you.
1:23在基督耶穌裡與我一同坐監的以巴弗問你安。
Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you;
1:24我的同工馬可、亞里達古、底馬、路加,也都問你安。
As do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow workers.
1:25願主耶穌基督的恩與你們的靈同在。
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
