| 1:1 |
Paulo, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, ma Timoteo, o se uso, to Philemon, our beloved fellow laborer, |
| 1:2 |
and to Apphia, most beloved sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in your house. |
| 1:3 |
‘Ia ‘iā te ‘outou le alofa tunoa ma le manuia, mai le Atua lo tatou Tamā ma le Alii o Iesu Keriso. |
| 1:4 |
Ou te avatu le faafetai i loʻu Atua, always keeping remembrance of you in my prayers, |
| 1:5 |
(for I am hearing of your charity and faith, which you have in the Lord Jesus and with all the saints) |
| 1:6 |
so that the participation of your faith may become evident by the recognition of every good work which is in you in Christ Jesus. |
| 1:7 |
Auā ua ou maua le olioli tele ma le faamafanafanaga i lou alofa, auā ‘ua fa‘amafanafanaina loto o le ‘au pa‘ia e ‘outou, tuagane. |
| 1:8 |
Ona o lea mea, ‘Ua lava lo‘u fa‘atuatua ‘iā Keriso Iesu e poloa‘i atu ai ‘iā te oe i nisi o mea, |
| 1:9 |
ae ou te aioi atu ia te oe, ona o le alofa, auā ‘ua ‘outou pei o Paulo: o se toeaina ma o se pagota foi o Iesu Keriso. |
| 1:10 |
Ou te aioi atu ia te oe, e fai ma sui o lo’u atalii, o lē ‘ua ‘ou fānaua i o‘u noataga, Onesemo. |
| 1:11 |
I taimi ua mavae, sa le aoga o ia ia te oe, a o lenei, ‘ua aogā o ia ‘iā te a‘u ‘atoa ma ‘outou. |
| 1:12 |
O lea ua ou toe auina atu ai o ia iā te oe. Ma ia e talia o ia e pei o loʻu lava loto. |
| 1:13 |
Sa ou manao lava e taofi o ia ia te au, ina ia auauna mai o ia ia te au, e fai ma ou sui, a o ‘ou i ai i filifili o le Tala Lelei. |
| 1:14 |
Ae sa ou loto e le faia se mea e aunoa ma lau fautuaga, ‘ina ‘ia ‘aua ne‘i fa‘aaogāina la ‘outou amio lelei e peiseaī ‘ua tatau, ae na o le loto malie. |
| 1:15 |
Masalo la, ona, ‘ua alu ‘ese o ia ‘iā te ‘outou mo sina taimi, ina ia outou toe talia o ia e faavavau, |
| 1:16 |
e le toe avea o se auauna, ae, e suitulaga i se auauna, o se uso e sili ona pele, aemaise lava ia te au: a e le sili atu ia te outou, i la le tino atoa ma le Alii! |
| 1:17 |
O lea la, pe afai e te taofi aʻu e fai ma aumea, talia o ia e pei ona outou faia ia te au. |
| 1:18 |
Ae afai ua ia faatiga ia te oe i soo se auala, pe afai o ia i lau aitalafu, totogi mai ia te au. |
| 1:19 |
I, Paulo, ua ou tusia lenei mea i lo'u lava lima: ou te toe totogi atu. Ma ou te le tau ta'uina atu ia te oe, ua e nofo aitalafu foi ia te oe lava, mo a'u. |
| 1:20 |
O lea la, tuagane. Ia ou fiafia faatasi ma outou i le Alii! Ia faafouina lo'u loto ia Keriso. |
| 1:21 |
I have written to you, trusting in your obedience, knowing, foi, that you will do even more than what I say. |
| 1:22 |
Ae faapena foi, i sesi taimi, prepare a lodging for me. For I am hoping, through your prayers, to present myself to you. |
| 1:23 |
Greet Epaphras, my fellow captive in Christ Jesus, |
| 1:24 |
and Mark, Aritako, Demas, and Luke, my helpers. |
| 1:25 |
‘Ia ‘iā te ‘outou agaga le alofa tunoa o lo tatou Ali‘i o Iesu Keriso. Amene. |
