PHELEMON - INTRODUCTION
पुस्तक परिचय
कैदी भएकै समयमा पावलले यो पत्र ईस्वी सम्बत् ६०-६१ मा रोमबाट लेखिपठाए। यो पत्र कलस्सीहरूलाई लेखेको पत्रसँगसँगै पठाइएको थियो (हेर्नोस् कलस्सीको परिचय)।
फिलेमोनचाहिँ कलस्से भन्ने सहरका एक जना बासिन्दा थिए, जसको घरमा घरेलु सँगति अथवा “घरको मण्डली” भेला हुन्थे (पद २)। ओनेसिमस नाउँ भएको तिनको कमारो कुनै चीज चोरेर भागेको थियो। त्यसपछि ओनेसिमस रोममा पुग्यो, जहाँ पावलसँग तिनको भेट भयो। फलस्वरूप ओनेसिमसले ख्रीष्टमा विश्वास गर्यो।
ओनेसिमसलाई आफ्नो मालिक फिलेमोन कहाँ पठाइदिनुपर्छ भन्ने कुरा पावललाई महसूस भयो। पावलको समयमा दासत्वको चलन पूरा रोम साम्राज्यभरी लागू थियो। त्यतिबेला रोमी कानूनअनुसार कमाराहरू आ-आफ्ना मालिकको सम्पत्ति जस्तै गनिन्थे। तर ओनेसिमसलाई फर्काउनमा एउटा ठूलो समस्या थियो, किनभने भागेका कमाराहरूलाई कानूनअनुसार कडा दण्ड दिनुपर्ने चलन थियो। कोही त्यस्ता कमाराहरू मारिने गर्थे। त्यसकारण पावलले ओनेसिमसप्रति दया र क्षमा होस् भनेर अनुरोध गर्नलाई फिलेमोनलाई यो पत्र लेखे। एकातिर ओनेसिमसले अवश्य पश्चात्ताप गरेर चोरेको चीज फिर्ता गर्नुपर्यो। अर्कोतिर फिलेमोनले ओनेसिमसलाई हृदयले नै क्षमा गर्नु आवश्यक थियो। किनभने तिनीहरू ख्रीष्टियान दाजुभाइ भएका थिए। रोमी चलन र कानूनअनुसार एक जना दास र अर्को मालिक भए तापनि तिनीहरू ख्रीष्टमा समान थिए।
दासत्व अवश्य एउटा दुष्ट र खराव चलन थियो। यस्तो दुष्ट चलनमाथि कसरी विजय गर्नुपर्ने हो भन्ने पावलको एउटा तरीका यस पत्रमा हामी देख्छौं, अर्थात् मालिक र दास दुवैले एक-अर्कालाई प्रेम गर्नु, क्षमा दिनु र आदर गर्नु।
पावलले ओनेसिमसलाई आफूसँग राख्न सक्ने थिए। पावलले अरू कमाराहरूलाई भाग्नका निम्ति सल्लाह र साहस दिन सक्नेथिए। तिनी रोमी कानून भङ्ग गरेर त्यसको विरूद्धमा खुल्लमखुल्ला कराउन पनि सक्नेथिए। तर तिनको तरीका त्यस्तो थिएन। तिनको तरीकाचाहिँ प्रेमको कानून मान्नू नै थियो। सबभन्दा ठूलो कानून मानिसको होइन तर परमेश्वरको हो, अर्थात् ख्रीष्टका आज्ञाहरू, विशेष गरी प्रेमको आज्ञा। संसारमा भएका सबै कानूनहरू भन्दा प्रेम बलियो छ। ख्रीष्टको प्रेममा मालिक र कमारो एक समान बन्दछन् (गलाती ३:२८)।

..................................................................
1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
7 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;
19 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
22 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
23 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
24 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
