Hebrews 13
1 Let brotherly love abide.
Endeleeni kupendana kama ndugu.
2 Be not forgetful of hospitality; for by it some have unawares entertained angels.
Msisahau kuwakaribisha wageni, kwa kuwa kwa kufanya hivyo, watu wengine waliwakaribisha malaika pasipo kujua.
3 Remember prisoners, as bound with [them]; those that are evil-treated, as being yourselves also in [the] body.
Wakumbukeni wale waliofungwa gerezani kana kwamba ninyi mmefungwa pamoja nao. Pia wakumbukeni wale wanaotendewa vibaya, kana kwamba ni ninyi wenyewe mnateswa.
4 [Let] marriage [be held] every way in honour, and the bed [be] undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers will God judge.
Ndoa na iheshimiwe na watu wote, nayo malazi yawe safi, kwa kuwa Mungu atawahukumu wazinzi na waasherati wote.
5 [Let your] conversation [be] without love of money, satisfied with [your] present circumstances; for he has said, I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.
Yalindeni maisha yenu msiwe na tabia ya kupenda fedha, bali mridhike na vile mlivyo navyo, kwa sababu Mungu amesema, “Kamwe sitakuacha, wala sitakupungukia.”
6 So that, taking courage, we may say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not be afraid: what will man do unto me?
Kwa hiyo tunaweza kusema kwa ujasiri, “Bwana ni msaada wangu; sitaogopa. Mwanadamu anaweza kunitenda nini?”
7 Remember your leaders who have spoken to you the word of God; and considering the issue of their conversation, imitate their faith.
Wakumbukeni viongozi wenu, wale waliowaambia neno la Mungu. Angalieni matokeo ya mwenendo wa maisha yao mkaiige imani yao.
Yesu Kristo ni yeye yule jana, leo na hata milele. (aiōn g165)
9 Be not carried away with various and strange doctrines; for [it is] good that the heart be confirmed with grace, not meats; those who have walked in which have not been profited by [them].
Msichukuliwe na kila aina ya mafundisho ya kigeni. Ni vyema mioyo yenu iimarishwe kwa neema, wala si kwa sheria kuhusu utaratibu wa vyakula, ambavyo havina faida kwa wale wanaozishika hizo sheria.
10 We have an altar of which they have no right to eat who serve the tabernacle;
Sisi tunayo madhabahu ambayo wale wanaohudumu katika hema hawana haki ya kula vile vitu vilivyowekwa juu yake.
11 for of those beasts whose blood is carried [as sacrifices for sin] into the [holy of] holies by the high priest, of these the bodies are burned outside the camp.
Kuhani mkuu huchukua damu ya wanyama na kuiingiza Patakatifu pa Patakatifu, kama sadaka ya dhambi, lakini miili ya hao wanyama huteketezwa nje ya kambi.
12 Wherefore also Jesus, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate:
Vivyo hivyo, Yesu naye aliteswa nje ya lango la mji ili awatakase watu kwa damu yake mwenyewe.
13 therefore let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach:
Kwa hiyo, basi na tumwendee nje ya kambi, tukiichukua aibu aliyobeba.
14 for we have not here an abiding city, but we seek the coming one.
Kwa kuwa hapa hatuna mji udumuo, bali tunautafuta ule ujao.
15 By him therefore let us offer [the] sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, [the] fruit of [the] lips confessing his name.
Basi kwa njia ya Yesu, tuzidi kumtolea Mungu dhabihu ya sifa, yaani matunda ya midomo inayolikiri Jina lake.
16 But of doing good and communicating [of your substance] be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Na msiache kutenda mema na kushirikiana vile vitu mlivyo navyo, kwa kuwa dhabihu kama hizo ndizo zinazompendeza Mungu.
17 Obey your leaders, and be submissive; for they watch over your souls as those that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not groaning, for this [would be] unprofitable for you.
Watiini viongozi wenu na kujinyenyekeza chini ya mamlaka yao. Kwa maana wao wanakesha kwa ajili yenu kama watu watakaopaswa kutoa hesabu. Watiini ili wafanye kazi yao kwa furaha, wala si kama mzigo, maana hiyo haitakuwa na faida kwenu.
18 Pray for us: for we persuade ourselves that we have a good conscience, in all things desirous to walk rightly.
Tuombeeni. Tuna hakika kuwa tunayo dhamiri safi na shauku ya kuishi kwa uadilifu kwa kila njia.
19 But I much more beseech [you] to do this, that I may the more quickly be restored to you.
Ninawasihi zaidi mniombee ili nipate kurudishwa kwenu upesi.
20 But the God of peace, who brought again from among [the] dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, in [the power of the] blood of [the] eternal covenant, (aiōnios g166)
Basi Mungu wa amani, ambaye kwa damu ya Agano la milele alimleta tena kutoka kwa wafu Bwana wetu Yesu, yule Mchungaji Mkuu wa kondoo, (aiōnios g166)
21 perfect you in every good work to the doing of his will, doing in you what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
awafanye ninyi wakamilifu mkiwa mmekamilishwa katika kila jambo jema ili mpate kutenda mapenzi yake, naye atende ndani yetu kile kinachompendeza machoni Pake, kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo, ambaye utukufu una yeye milele na milele. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 But I beseech you, brethren, bear the word of exhortation, for it is but in few words that I have written to you.
Ndugu zangu, nawasihi mchukuliane na maneno yangu ya maonyo, kwa kuwa nimewaandikia waraka mfupi tu.
23 Know that our brother Timotheus is set at liberty; with whom, if he should come soon, I will see you.
Nataka ninyi mjue kwamba ndugu yetu Timotheo amefunguliwa kutoka gerezani. Akifika mapema, nitakuja pamoja naye kuwaona.
24 Salute all your leaders, and all the saints. They from Italy salute you.
Wasalimuni viongozi wenu wote na watakatifu wote. Wale wa kutoka Italia wanawasalimu.
25 Grace [be] with you all. Amen.
Neema iwe nanyi nyote. Amen.
