Hebrews 12
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.
Konsa, akoz ke nou gen yon si tèlman gran nwaj temwen ki antoure nou, annou osi mete sou kote tout anpèchman ak peche ki trè fasil vin vlope nou, e annou kouri avèk andirans kous la ki mete devan nou an,
2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
ak zye nou byen fikse sou Jésus fondatè e nonm pafè lafwa a, ki pou lajwa ki te mete devan Li an, te sipòte lakwa a, te meprize wont lan, e te vin chita sou men dwat twòn Bondye a.
3 Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Paske konsidere Li menm ki te andire tèl opozisyon pa pechè yo kont Li menm, pou nou menm pa t ap vin fatige e dekouraje.
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
Nou poko reziste jis rive pou rann san nan lit nou kont peche.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you.
Nou gen tan bliye egzòtasyon ki te adrese a nou menm kòm fis yo: “Fis mwen, pa gade a la lejè disiplin Bondye a, ni vin febli lè nou korije pa Li;
6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.”
Paske sila ke Bondye renmen yo, Li disipline yo, e Li fwete tout fis ke L resevwa.”
7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
Se pou disiplin ke nou andire. Bondye aji avèk nou kòm fis, paske ki fis ki genyen ke papa l pa ba l disiplin?
8 If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.
Men si nou san disiplin kon sila nou tout gen tan patisipe a, alò, nou se pitit ilejitim, e pa vrè fis.
9 Furthermore, we have all had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we not much more submit to the Father of our spirits and live?
Anplis ke sa, nou te gen papa sou latè pou disipline nou, e nou te respekte yo. Èske nou pa ta bokou pito vin soumèt a Papa a tout lespri yo, e viv?
10 Our fathers disciplined us for a short time as they thought best, but God disciplines us for our good, so that we may share in His holiness.
Paske yo te disipline nou pou yon ti tan ki, selon yo, te sanble pi bon, men Li menm, Li disipline nou pou byen nou pou nou kapab pataje sentete Li a.
11 No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it.
Tout disiplin, nan moman an, sanble pa bay lajwa, men tristès. Malgre a sila ki fin antrene pa li yo, li vin bay fwi lapè ladwati a.
12 Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees.
Konsa ranfòse men ki manke fòs ak jenou ki fèb yo,
13 Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
epi fè chemen pye nou dwat, jis pou manm kò ki mal ranje a pa vin dejwente nèt, men pito vin geri.
14 Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
Chèche lapè avèk tout moun, avèk sanktifikasyon. San sa a, pèsòn p ap wè Senyè a.
15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many.
Fè si ke pèsòn pa manke rive nan gras Bondye a; pou okenn rasin anmè pa vin monte pou fè twoub, e pa li menm, anpil moun ta vin konwonpi.
16 See to it that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his birthright.
Pa kite nou gen okenn moun imoral oubyen san Bondye tankou Esaü ki te vann pwòp dwa eritaj li a pou yon sèl repa manje.
17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He could find no ground for repentance, though he sought the blessing with tears.
Paske nou konnen ke menm apre sa, lè li te dezire vin eritye yon benediksyon, li te rejte, paske li pa t twouve yon plas pou repantans, malgre li te chache sa ak dlo nan zye.
18 For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom, and storm;
Paske nou pa t vin kote yon mòn ki kapab touche e ki t ap flanbe, ni a tenèb, fènwa, ak tanpèt
19 to a trumpet blast or to a voice that made its hearers beg that no further word be spoken.
ni a gwo kout twonpèt ak son pawòl ki sone tankou sila ki te tande l t ap mande sekou a, pou okenn pawòl pa t pale a yo menm ankò.
20 For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”
Paske yo pa t kapab sipòte dekrè lan: “Menm si yon bèt touche mòn nan, li va lapide ak kout wòch.”
21 The sight was so terrifying that even Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”
Vizyon sila a te si tèlman tèrib ke Moïse te di: “Mwen plen lakrent ak tranbleman”.
22 Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to myriads of angels
Men nou menm, nou te vini sou Mòn Sion ak vil a Bondye vivan an, Jérusalem selès la, e avèk kantite zanj ki pa t kab menm kontwole,
23 in joyful assembly, to the congregation of the firstborn, enrolled in heaven. You have come to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
anvè gran asanble a, ak legliz premye ne yo ki anrejistre nan syèl la, anvè Bondye, jij a tout moun nan, e anvè lespri a moun ladwati ki te fèt pafè yo,
24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
epi anvè Jésus medyatè yon akò tounèf la, e anvè san vèse a, ki pale pi klè pase san Abel la.
25 See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from heaven?
Fè si ke nou pa refize Sila k ap pale a. Paske si sa yo pa t chape lè yo te refize li menm ki te avèti yo sou latè a, konbyen mwens nou va chape nou menm ki vire kite Sila ki avèti nou depi nan syèl la.
26 At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.”
Epi vwa Li te souke tè a nan moman an, men koulye a, Li fè yon pwomès, e Li di: “Malgre sa, yon fwa ankò Mwen va souke, non sèlman tè a, men osi syèl la.”
27 The words “Once more” signify the removal of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that the unshakable may remain.
Ekspresyon sa a: “Malgre yon fwa ankò”, fè nou konprann ke tout bagay ki te kreye, ki kapab souke va retire, pou bagay sila ki pa kapab souke yo, kapab vin rete.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.
Konsa, akoz ke nou resevwa yon wayòm ki pa kapab souke, annou montre rekonesans, pa sila nou kapab ofri a Bondye yon sèvis akseptab, avèk reverans ak lakrent.
29 “For our God is a consuming fire.”
Paske Bondye nou an se yon dife k ap devore.
