1Paul, a prisoner of the Moshiach Yehoshua, and Timothy the brother, to Philemon the beloved (man) and our co-worker, 2and to Apphia our sister, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the kehile in your house: 3grace to you (PL) and peace from G-d our Father and from the L-rd Yehoshua the Moshiach.
4I thank Hashem in every time, making mention of you in my prayers, 5because I have heard of your love and the faith, which you (SG) have to the L-rd Yehoshua and to all holy ones; 6so that the fellowship of your faith shall be effective in the full knowledge of every good thing, which is in us, to the Moshiach. 7because I have had a great joy and comfort over your love, because the hearts of the saints are refreshed become through you (SG), my brother.
8therefore, although I have the full freedom in the Moshiach you (SG) to give directive what is right, 9(yet) on account of the love, will I rather ask, such a person am I, Paul the old man, and now also a prisoner of the Moshiach Yehoshua; 10I implore you for my son, which I have begot in my chains, for Onesimus, 11who once is he for you (SG) was unuseful, now however very useful both for you (SG) as well as for me; 12I have him sent back to you (SG), him himself, the (one) means my heart; 13I had him gladly wanted to keep with me, so that he, as your proxy, shall me serve in the chains of the News Good; 14without your knowing however have I nothing wanted to do; so that your good shall not be compelled, but of good will. 15because perhaps has he himself with a view to this separated (from you (SG)) for an hour, so that you (SG) shall him receive for eternity; 16no longer as a slave, but higher than a slave, as a beloved brother, above all for me, and how much more for you (SG) both in the flesh and in the L-rd. 17if therefore you (SG) hold me for a chaver, take him on as myself. 18and if he has you something wronged, or is you (SG) in debt, charge the these me to; 19I, Paul, have it written with my own hand, I will it repay; although I tell you (SG) not, that you (SG) are even you you yourself (to) me in debt. 20yes, my brother, let me a benefit have from you (SG) in the L-rd; refresh my heart in the Moshiach. 21convinced of your obedience, have I written to you (SG), because I know, that you (SG) will do more than I say. 22and in the same time ready also to for me a lodging; because I hope, that through your (PL) prayers, will I given be to you (PL).
23Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in the Moshiach Yehoshua, leaves you (SG) to give peace, 24(also) Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my co-workers.
25may the grace of the L-rd Yehoshua the Moshiach be with your spirit.
