Hebrews 13
1 Let brotherly love abide.
Basi upendo wa ndugu na uendelee.
2 Be not forgetful of hospitality; for by it some have unawares entertained angels.
Msisahau kuwakaribisha wageni, maana kwa kufanya hivi, baadhi wamewakaribisha malaika pasipo kujua.
3 Remember prisoners, as bound with [them]; those that are evil-treated, as being yourselves also in [the] body.
Kumbuka wote waliomo gerezani, kana kwamba mulikuwa nao kule pamoja nao, na kama miili yenu ilitendewa kama wao.
4 [Let] marriage [be held] every way in honour, and the bed [be] undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers will God judge.
Basi ndoa na iheshimiwe na wote na basi kitanda cha ndoa kifanywe kuwa safi, kwa maana Mungu atawahukumu waasherati na wazinzi.
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.
Basi njia zenu za maisha ziwe huru katika upendo wa pesa. Muwe wanoridhika na vitu mulivyonavyo, kwani Mungu mwenyewe alisema, “Sitawaacha ninyi kamwe, wala kuwatelekeza ninyi.”
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?
Basi tulidhikeni ili tusema kwa ujasiri, “Bawa ni msaidizi wangu; Sitaogopa. Mwanadamu aweza kunifanya nini?”
7 Remember your leaders who have spoken to you the word of God; and considering the issue of their conversation, imitate their faith.
Wafikirieni wale walio waongoza, wale waliongea neno la Mungu kwenu, na kumbukeni matokeo ya mienendo yao; igeni imani zao.
Yesu Kristo ni yeye jana, leo, na ata 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].
Usije ukaongozwa na mafundisho mbalimbali ya kigeni kwani ni vizuri kwamba moyo ujengwe kwa neema, na siyo kwa sheria kuhusu chakula hayo hayatawasaidia wale wanaoishi kwa hayo.
10 We have an altar of which they have no right to eat who serve the tabernacle;
Tunayo madhabau ambayo wale wanaotumika ndani ya hekalu hawana haki ya kula.
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.
Kwa kuwa damu za wanyama, zilizotolewa dhabihu kwa ajili ya dhambi, ililetwa na kuhani mkuu ndani ya sehemu takatifu, lakini miili yao ilichomwa nje ya kambi.
12 Wherefore also Jesus, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate:
Kwa hiyo Yesu naye aliteseka nje ya lango la mji, hili kwamba kuweka wakfu watu kwa Mungu kupitia damu yake.
13 therefore let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach:
Na kwa hiyo twendeni kwake nje ya kambi, tukizibeba fadheha zake.
14 for we have not here an abiding city, but we seek the coming one.
Kwani hatuna makao ya kudumu katika mji huu. Badala yake tutafute mji ambao unakuja.
15 By him therefore let us offer [the] sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, [the] fruit of [the] lips confessing his name.
Kupitia Yesu mnapaswa mara kwa mara kujitoa sadaka ya kumtukuza Mungu, kumsifu kwamba tunda la midomo yetu likili jina lake.
16 But of doing good and communicating [of your substance] be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Na usisahau kufanya mazuri na kusadiana ninyi kwa ninyi, kwa kuwa ni kwa sadaka kama hiyo ndiyo Mungu hupendezwa sana.
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.
Tiini na kujishusha kwa viongozi wenu, kwani wanaendelea kuwalinda kwa ajili ya nafsi zenu, kama wale watakaotoa hesabu. Tiini ili kwamba viongozi wenu waweze kuwatunza kwa furaha, na sio kwa huzuni, ambayo haitawasaidia.
18 Pray for us: for we persuade ourselves that we have a good conscience, in all things desirous to walk rightly.
Tuombeni, kwani tuna uhakikwa kwamba tuna dhamira njema, tunatamani kuishi maisha ya heshima katika mambo yote.
19 But I much more beseech [you] to do this, that I may the more quickly be restored to you.
Na nyote ninawatia moyo zaidi mfanye hivi, ili kwamba niweze kurudi kwenu hivi karibuni.
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)
Sasa Mungu wa amani, ambaye aliwaleta tena kutoka kwa wafu mchungaji mkuu wa kondoo, Bwana wetu Yesu, kwa damu ya agano la milele, (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)
Atawapa uwezo kwa kila jambo zuri kufanya mapenzi yake, akifanya kazi ndani yetu iliyo njema ya kupendeza machoni pake, kupitia Yesu Kristo, kwake uwe utukufu milele na milele. Amina. (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.
Sasa ninakutia moyo, ndugu, kuchukualiana na neno la kutia moyo ambalo kwa ufupi nililiandika kwenu.
23 Know that our brother Timotheus is set at liberty; with whom, if he should come soon, I will see you.
Fahamu kwamba ndugu yetu Timotheo ameshaachiwa huru, ambaye pamoja naye nitawaona kama atakuja hivi karibuni.
24 Salute all your leaders, and all the saints. They from Italy salute you.
Salimia viongozi wako wote na waumini wote. Wale wanaotoka Italia wanakusalimia.
25 Grace [be] with you all. Amen.
Na neema iwe nanyi nyote.
