Comparison
Philemon 1
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy, a brother: to Philemon, our beloved and fellow labourer; | Paulus vinctus Christi Iesu, et Timotheus frater, Philemoni dilecto, et adiutori nostro, |
| 2 | And to Appia, our dearest sister, and to Archippus, our fellow soldier, and to the church which is in thy house: | et Appiae sorori carissimae, et Archippo commilitoni nostro, et ecclesiae, quae in domo tua est. |
| 3 | Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. | Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Iesu Christo. |
| 4 | I give thanks to my God, always making a remembrance of thee in my prayers. | Gratias ago Deo meo, semper memoriam tui faciens in orationibus meis, |
| 5 | Hearing of thy charity and faith, which thou hast in the Lord Jesus, and towards all the saints: | audiens caritatem tuam, et fidem, quam habes in Domino Iesu, et in omnes sanctos: |
| 6 | That the communication of thy faith may be made evident in the acknowledgment of every good work, that is in you in Christ Jesus. | ut communicatio fidei tuae evidens fiat in agnitione omnis operis boni, quod est in vobis in Christo Iesu. |
| 7 | For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother. | Gaudium enim magnum habui, et consolationem in caritate tua: quia viscera sanctorum requieverunt per te, frater. |
| 8 | Wherefore though I have much confidence in Christ Jesus, to command thee that which is to the purpose: | Propter quod multam fiduciam habens in Christo Iesu imperandi tibi quod ad rem pertinet: |
| 9 | For charity sake I rather beseech, whereas thou art such a one, as Paul an old man, and now a prisoner also of Jesus Christ. | propter caritatem magis obsecro, cum sis talis, ut Paulus senex, nunc autem et vinctus Iesu Christi: |
| 10 | I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus, | obsecro te pro meo filio, quem genui in vinculis, Onesimo, |
| 11 | Who hath been heretofore unprofitable to thee, but now is profitable both to me and thee, | qui tibi aliquando inutilis fuit, nunc autem et mihi et tibi utilis, |
| 12 | Whom I have sent back to thee. And do thou receive him as my own bowels. | quem remisi tibi. Tu autem illum, ut mea viscera, suscipe: |
| 13 | Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered to me in the bands of the gospel: | quem ego volueram mecum detinere, ut pro te mihi ministraret in vinculis Evangelii: |
| 14 | But without thy counsel I would do nothing: that thy good deed might not be as it were of necessity, but voluntary. | sine consilio autem tuo nihil volui facere, uti ne velut ex necessitate bonum tuum esset, sed voluntarium. |
| 15 | For perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee, that thou mightest receive him again for ever: | Forsitan enim ideo discessit ad horam a te, ut aeternum illum reciperes: |
| 16 | Not now as a servant, but instead of a servant, a most dear brother, especially to me: but how much more to thee both in the flesh and in the Lord? | iam non ut servum, sed pro servo carissimum fratrem, maxime mihi: quanto autem magis tibi et in carne, et in Domino? |
| 17 | If therefore thou count me a partner, receive him as myself. | Si ergo habes me socium, suscipe illum sicut me: |
| 18 | And if he hath wronged thee in any thing, or is in thy debt, put that to my account. | si autem aliquid nocuit tibi, aut debet, hoc mihi imputa. |
| 19 | I Paul have written it with my own hand: I will repay it: not to say to thee, that thou owest me thy own self also. | Ego Paulus scripsi mea manu: ego reddam, ut non dicam tibi, quod et teipsum mihi debes: |
| 20 | Yea, brother. May I enjoy thee in the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord. | ita, frater. Ego te fruar in Domino: refice viscera mea in Domino. |
| 21 | Trusting in thy obedience, I have written to thee: knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. | Confidens in obedientia tua scripsi tibi: sciens quoniam et super id, quod dico, facies. |
| 22 | But withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. | Simul autem et para mihi hospitium: nam spero per orationes vestras donari me vobis. |
| 23 | There salute thee Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus; | Salutat te Epaphras concaptivus meus in Christo Iesu, |
| 24 | Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke my fellow labourers. | Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, et Lucas, adiutores mei. |
| 25 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. | Gratia Domini nostri Iesu Christi cum spiritu vestro. Amen. |
