Filemon
Haitian Creole Version
1 ¶ Mwen menm Pòl, ki nan prizon poutèt Jezikri, m'ap ekri lèt sa a, ansanm ak frè Timote, Pou Filemon, yon moun nou renmen anpil epi k'ap travay ansanm ak nou pou Seyè a,
2 pou tout legliz la ki reyini lakay li a, pou Apya, sè nou an, ak Achip, kanmarad ki te konbat ansanm ak nou an.
3 Nou mande Bondye, Papa nou, ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè nou an, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.
4 Chak fwa m'ap lapriyè, mwen nonmen non ou, mwen di Bondye mèsi pou ou.
5 Paske m' tande jan ou renmen tout pèp Bondye a, jan ou gen konfyans nan Seyè Jezi.
6 M'ap mande Bondye pou konfyans nou gen ansanm nan li a ka fè nou konprann pi byen tout benediksyon nou jwenn nan lavi n'ap mennen ansanm nan Kris la.
7 Se pa ti kontan m' te kontan, sa te ankouraje m' anpil, frè mwen, lè m' tande jan ou renmen moun ki fè pati pèp Bondye a, jan ou te remoute kouraj yo anpil.
8 ¶ Se poutèt sa, atout Kris la ban m' otorite pou m' di ou sa ou gen pou ou fè,
9 m' pito mande ou rann mwen sèvis sa a nan non Kris la ki renmen nou: wi, mwen menm Pòl, tou vye granmoun jan m' ye a, atout mwen nan prizon poutèt Jezikri,
10 m'ap mande ou yon favè pou Onezim, yon pitit mwen fè nan Kris la antan m' la nan prizon an.
11 Anvan sa, li pa t' vo anyen pou ou, men koulye a, li vo kichòy ni pou ou ni pou mwen.
12 M'ap voye l' tounen ba ou koulye a tankou pitit pa mwen.
13 M' ta byen renmen kenbe l' bò kote m', pou l' te ka sèvi m' nan plas ou, pandan m' nan prizon pou bon nouvèl la.
14 Men, m' pa vle fè anyen san konsantman ou. Mwen pa ta renmen sa sanble se fòse m'ap fòse ou rann mwen sèvis. Mwen ta pito wè ou fè l' ou menm, paske ou vle fè li.
15 Ou pa janm konnen si Onezim pa t' kite ou pou yon tan, pou ou te ka jwenn li ankò pou tout tan.
16 Paske, se pa tankou yon senp esklav ou jwenn li ankò. Koulye a, li plis pase yon esklav pou ou: se yon frè li ye pou nou nan Kris la, yon frè mwen renmen anpil. Men, ou menm ou dwe renmen li pi plis pase m' ankò. Pa sèlman tankou nenpòt ki moun, men tankou yon frè nan Seyè a.
17 Si ou konsidere m' pou zanmi ou, resevwa Onezim menm jan ou ta resevwa mwen.
18 Si l' te fè ou kèk bagay mal, osinon si l' dwe ou kichòy, mete sa sou kont mwen.
19 Mwen menm Pòl, m'ap ekri sa ak men pa mwen: m'a renmèt ou sa. Mwen pa kwè m' bezwen fè ou chonje jan ou dwe m' lavi.
20 Wi, frè m', fè m' favè sa a nan non Seyè a. Soulaje kè m' tankou yon frè nan Kris la dwe fè li.
21 Se paske mwen konnen w'ap fè sa m' mande ou la ki fè m' ekri ou lèt sa a. Mwen konnen ou va fè pi plis pase sa m' mande ou la.
22 An menm tan, pare yon chanm pou mwen, paske, pou lapriyè mwen konnen nou fè pou mwen, mkwè Bondye va tande nou, la fè m' favè vin jwenn nou ankò.
23 Epafras ki nan prizon ansanm ak mwen poutèt Jezi, Kris la, voye bonjou pou ou.
24 Mak, Aristak, Demas ak Lik k'ap travay ansanm ak mwen, yo tout voye bonjou tou.
25 Se pou benediksyon Jezikri, Seyè nou an, toujou la avèk nou. Amèn.

New International Version
Philemon
New International Version
1 Paul, a prisoner(A) of Christ Jesus, and Timothy(B) our brother,(C)
To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker(D)— 2 also to Apphia our sister and Archippus(E) our fellow soldier(F)—and to the church that meets in your home:(G)
3 Grace and peace to you[a] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(H)
Thanksgiving and Prayer
4 I always thank my God(I) as I remember you in my prayers,(J) 5 because I hear about your love for all his holy people(K) and your faith in the Lord Jesus.(L) 6 I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. 7 Your love has given me great joy and encouragement,(M) because you, brother, have refreshed(N) the hearts of the Lord’s people.
Paul’s Plea for Onesimus
8 Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, 9 yet I prefer to appeal to you(O) on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner(P) of Christ Jesus— 10 that I appeal to you for my son(Q) Onesimus,[b](R) who became my son while I was in chains.(S) 11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.
12 I am sending him—who is my very heart—back to you. 13 I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains(T) for the gospel. 14 But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced(U) but would be voluntary. 15 Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever— 16 no longer as a slave,(V) but better than a slave, as a dear brother.(W) He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.
17 So if you consider me a partner,(X) welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me.(Y) 19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand.(Z) I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your very self. 20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh(AA) my heart in Christ. 21 Confident(AB) of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.
22 And one thing more: Prepare a guest room for me, because I hope to be(AC) restored to you in answer to your prayers.(AD)
23 Epaphras,(AE) my fellow prisoner(AF) in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. 24 And so do Mark,(AG) Aristarchus,(AH) Demas(AI) and Luke, my fellow workers.(AJ)
25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.(AK)
