他暂时离开你，也许是要让你永远得着他，

或许他暂时离开你是为了让你以后永远得到他。

也许他暂时离开你，正是为了使你永远得着他，

其实，他暂时离开你，或许正是为了使你可以永远得着他——

或許他暫時離開你是為了讓你以後永遠得到他。

也許他暫時離開你，正是為了使你永遠得著他，

他暫時和你分離，或者是要讓你永遠收着他：

其實，他暫時離開你，或許正是為了使你可以永遠得著他——

彼暫離爾、或俾爾永有之、

彼與爾今或暫相離、後必恆相聚、

彼暫時與爾相離、焉知非使爾永遠得之乎、

以今思之、彼昔日之與爾暫離、或正所以促成爾等今後之永合耳。

Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever—

Onesimus was separated from you for a little while. Maybe that was so you could have him back forever.

For this perhaps is why he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back forever,

It seems you lost Onesimus for a little while so that you could have him back forever.

For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a brief time, so that you might get him back permanently,

For perhaps it was for this reason that he was separated from you for a while, that you would have him back forever,

For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever,

For perhaps he was therefore parted from thee for a season, that thou shouldest have him for ever;

现在，不要因为把我卖到这里而忧伤，对自己生气，因为神差我在你们以先来，为要保全性命。现在这地的饥荒已经二年了，还有五年不能耕种，没有收成。神差我在你们以先来，为要给你们在世上存留余种，大施拯救，保全你们的性命。这样看来，差我到这里来的不是你们，而是神。他又使我如同法老之父，作他全家之主，和埃及全地掌权的人。

从前你们的意思是要害我，但神的意思原是好的，要使许多百姓得以存活，成就今日的光景。

做了你手和你旨意所预定必成就的事。

“那时，沿海一带的居民必说：‘看哪，我们素来所仰望的，就是为躲避亚述王所逃往求救的，不过如此！我们怎能逃脱呢？’”

人的愤怒终必称谢你，你要以人的余怒束腰。
