PT1904 Texto Patriarcal 1904 (acentuado, edición de eBible)
1 This letter is sent from Paul, prisoner of Jesus Christ, and from our brother Timothy, to Philemon, our good friend and co-worker;
1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,
1 Παῦλος, δέσμιος Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ, καὶ Τιμόθεος ὁ ἀδελφός, Φιλήμονι τῷ ἀγαπητῷ καὶ συνεργῷ ἡμῶν
2 to our sister Apphia, to Archippus who fights alongside us, and to your house church.
2 to the beloved Apphia, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the assembly in your house:
2 καὶ Ἀπφίᾳ τῇ ἀγαπητῇ καὶ Ἀρχίππῳ τῷ συστρατιώτῃ ἡμῶν καὶ τῇ κατ᾽ οἶκόν σου ἐκκλησίᾳ·
3 May you have grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ Θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
4 I always thank my God for you, remembering you in my prayers,
4 I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,
4 Εὐχαριστῶ τῷ Θεῷ μου πάντοτε μνείαν σου ποιούμενος ἐπὶ τῶν προσευχῶν μου,
5 because I hear of your trust in the Lord Jesus and your love for all believers.
5 hearing of your love and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,
5 ἀκούων σου τὴν ἀγάπην καὶ τὴν πίστιν ἣν ἔχεις πρὸς τὸν Κύριον Ἰησοῦν καὶ εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους,
6 I pray that you will put the generous nature of your trust in God into action as you recognize all the good things we share in Christ.
6 that the fellowship of your faith may become effective in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.
6 ὅπως ἡ κοινωνία τῆς πίστεώς σου ἐνεργὴς γένηται ἐν ἐπιγνώσει παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ τοῦ ἐν ἡμῖν εἰς Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν.
7 Your love, my dear brother, has brought me much happiness and encouragement. You have really inspired those of us who believe!
7 For we have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.
7 χάριν γὰρ ἔχομεν πολλὴν καὶ παράκλησιν ἐπὶ τῇ ἀγάπῃ σου, ὅτι τὰ σπλάγχνα τῶν ἁγίων ἀναπέπαυται διὰ σοῦ, ἀδελφέ.
8 That's why even though I'm brave enough in Christ to order you to do your duty,
8 Therefore though I have all boldness in Christ to command you that which is appropriate,
8 Διό, πολλὴν ἐν Χριστῷ παρρησίαν ἔχων ἐπιτάσσειν σοι τὸ ἀνῆκον,
9 I would rather ask you this favor out of love. Old Paul, now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus,
9 yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
9 διὰ τὴν ἀγάπην μᾶλλον παρακαλῶ· τοιοῦτος ὤν, ὡς Παῦλος πρεσβύτης, νυνὶ δὲ καὶ δέσμιος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
10 is appealing to you on behalf of Onesimus who became my adopted son during my imprisonment.
10 I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have become the father of in my chains,
10 παρακαλῶ σε περὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ τέκνου, ὃν ἐγέννησα ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου, Ὀνήσιμον,
11 In the past he was of no use to you, but now he's useful to both you and me!
11 who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.
11 τόν ποτέ σοι ἄχρηστον, νυνὶ δὲ σοὶ καὶ ἐμοὶ εὔχρηστον, ὃν ἀνέπεμψα·
12 I send him to you with my fondest wishes.
12 I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,
12 σὺ δὲ αὐτόν, τοῦτ᾽ ἔστι τὰ ἐμὰ σπλάγχνα, προσλαβοῦ·
13 I'd have preferred to keep him here with me so that he could have helped me as you would have done while I am in chains for telling the good news.
13 whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.
13 ὃν ἐγὼ ἐβουλόμην πρὸς ἐμαυτὸν κατέχειν, ἵνα ὑπὲρ σοῦ διακονῇ μοι ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς τοῦ εὐαγγελίου·
14 But I decided not to do anything without your permission. I didn't want you to be forced to do good, but to do so willingly.
14 But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.
14 χωρὶς δὲ τῆς σῆς γνώμης οὐδὲν ἠθέλησα ποιῆσαι, ἵνα μὴ ὡς κατὰ ἀνάγκην τὸ ἀγαθόν σου ᾖ, ἀλλὰ κατὰ ἑκούσιον.
15 Maybe you lost him for a while so that you could have him back forever!
15 For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while that you would have him forever,
15 τάχα γὰρ διὰ τοῦτο ἐχωρίσθη πρὸς ὥραν, ἵνα αἰώνιον αὐτὸν ἀπέχῃς,
16 He's not a servant anymore, because he's more than a servant. He's a specially-loved brother, particularly to me, and even more to you, both as a man and as a fellow-believer in the Lord.
16 no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
16 οὐκέτι ὡς δοῦλον, ἀλλ᾽ ὑπὲρ δοῦλον, ἀδελφὸν ἀγαπητόν, μάλιστα ἐμοί, πόσῳ δὲ μᾶλλον σοὶ καὶ ἐν σαρκὶ καὶ ἐν Κυρίῳ!
17 So if you consider me as a colleague working together with you for the Lord, welcome him as if you were welcoming me.
17 If then you count me a partner, receive him as you would receive me.
17 εἰ οὖν με ἔχεις κοινωνόν, προσλαβοῦ αὐτὸν ὡς ἐμέ.
18 If he has done you any wrong, or owes you anything, charge it to my account.
18 But if he has wronged you at all or owes you anything, put that to my account.
18 εἰ δέ τι ἠδίκησέ σε ἢ ὀφείλει, τοῦτο ἐμοὶ ἐλλόγει·
19 I Paul am signing this with my own hand: I will repay you. Of course I won't mention what you owe me, including your very self!
19 I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).
19 ἐγὼ Παῦλος ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί, ἐγὼ ἀποτίσω· ἵνα μὴ λέγω σοι ὅτι καὶ σεαυτόν μοι προσοφείλεις.
20 Yes, brother, I'm expecting this favor from you in the Lord; please make me happy in Christ.
20 Yes, brother, let me have joy from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in the Lord.
20 ναί, ἀδελφέ, ἐγώ σου ὀναίμην ἐν Κυρίῳ· ἀνάπαυσόν μου τὰ σπλάγχνα ἐν Κυρίῳ.
21 I'm writing about this to you because I'm convinced you'll do as I ask—in fact I know you'll do even more than I've asked!
21 Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even beyond what I say.
21 Πεποιθὼς τῇ ὑπακοῇ σου ἔγραψά σοι, εἰδὼς ὅτι καὶ ὑπὲρ ὃ λέγω ποιήσεις.
22 In the meantime please have a room ready for me, for I hope to be able to return to see you soon in answer to your prayers.
22 Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.
22 ἅμα δὲ καὶ ἑτοίμαζέ μοι ξενίαν· ἐλπίζω γὰρ ὅτι διὰ τῶν προσευχῶν ὑμῶν χαρισθήσομαι ὑμῖν.
23 Epaphras who is here in prison with me sends his greetings,
23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
23 Ἀσπάζεταί σε Ἐπαφρᾶς ὁ συναιχμάλωτός μου ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ,
24 as do my co-workers Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke.
24 as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
24 Μᾶρκος, Ἀρίσταρχος, Δημᾶς, Λουκᾶς, οἱ συνεργοί μου.
25 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
25 Ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματος ὑμῶν· ἀμήν.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
These things are said to a master in behalf of a servant. Immediately at the outset, he has pulled down his spirit, and not suffered him to be ashamed, he has quenched his anger; calling himself a prisoner, he strikes him with compunction, and makes him collect himself, and makes it appear that present things are nothing.
