< Hebrews 13 >
1 Let brotherly love remain.
Minɔ mia nɔewo lɔlɔ̃ dzi ɖaa abe dadaviwo ene
2 Do not be forgetful of hospitality, for through this some entertained messengers unaware.
Migaŋlɔ amedzrowɔwɔ be o; to esia wɔwɔ me la, ame aɖewo xɔ mawudɔlawo le manyamanya me.
3 Be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as yourselves also being in the body.
Miɖo ŋku ame siwo wode gaxɔ me la dzi abe miawo hãe le gaxɔ me kpli wo ene. Nenema ke miɖo ŋku ame siwo wole fu wɔmii la dzi abe miawo hãe le fua kpem ene.
4 The marriage [is to be] honored by all, and the bed undefiled, for God will judge whoremongers and adulterers.
Ame sia ame nade bubu srɔ̃ɖeɖe ŋu eye womaƒo ɖi srɔ̃ɖeba o, elabena Mawu abu fɔ ahasiwɔlawo kple matrewɔlawo katã.
5 [Be] without covetous behavior, being content with the things present, for He has said, “No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake you,”
Mite mia ɖokuiwo ɖa xaa tso galɔlɔ̃ gbɔ, eye nu si le mia si la nedze mia ŋu, elabena Mawu gblɔ be, “Nyemaɖe asi le mia ŋu akpɔ o, eye nyemagblẽ mi ɖi akpɔ gbeɖe o.”
6 so that we boldly say, “The LORD [is] to me a helper, and I will not fear what man will do to me.”
Esia ta míegblɔ kple dzideƒo be, “Yehowae nye nye xɔnametɔ, nyemavɔ̃ o. Nu ka amegbetɔ ate ŋu awɔm?”
7 Be mindful of those leading you, who spoke to you the word of God, who, considering the outcome of [their] behavior, imitate [their] faith:
Miɖo ŋku miaƒe kplɔlawo dzi, ame siwo gblɔa Mawu ƒe nya na mi. Mibu nu siwo do go tso woƒe agbenɔnɔ me la ŋuti ne miasrɔ̃ woƒe xɔse.
8 Jesus Christ—the same yesterday and today and for all ages. (aiōn )
Yesu Kristo metrɔna gbeɖe o, ale si wònɔ etsɔ si va yi, nenema kee wòle egbe, eye nenema kee wòanɔ ɖaa. (aiōn )
9 Do not be carried away with strange and manifold teachings, for [it is] good that by grace the heart is confirmed, not with meats, in which they who were occupied were not profited;
Migana nufiafia trama aɖeke nakplɔ miaƒe susuwo adzoe o. Enyo be woatsɔ amenuveve ado ŋusẽ miaƒe dziwo, ke menye to nuɖuɖu tɔxɛ aɖewo ƒe sewo dzi wɔwɔ me o, esiwo mehea viɖe aɖeke vanɛ na ame siwo ɖunɛ la o.
10 we have an altar from which they who are serving the Dwelling Place have no authority to eat,
Vɔsamlekpui aɖe le mia si; nunɔla siwo subɔna le Agbadɔ me gɔ̃ hã mekpɔ mɔ aɖu nu si tso vɔsamlekpui sia dzi o.
11 for of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places through the chief priest—of these the bodies are burned outside the camp.
Nunɔlagã la tsɔa lãwo ƒe ʋu yina ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la abe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa ene, gake wotɔa dzo lãwo ŋutɔ le asaɖa la godo.
12 For this reason, also Jesus—that He might sanctify the people through [His] own blood—suffered outside the gate;
Esia tae Yesu hã kpe fu le du la ƒe agbo godo be wòakɔ eƒe amewo ŋu, awɔ wo kɔkɔe to eya ŋutɔ ƒe ʋu la me.
13 now then, may we go forth to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach;
Eya ta mina míayi egbɔ azɔ le asaɖa la godo be míawo hã míaɖu ŋukpe si wòtsɔ,
14 for we have no abiding city here, but we seek the coming one.
elabena du si nɔa anyi ɖaa la, mele mía si le afii o, ke míele mɔ kpɔm na du si lava va.
15 Through Him, then, we may always offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His Name.
Eya ta mina míatsɔ kafukafuvɔsa na Mawu ɣe sia ɣi to Yesu dzi, kafukafu siwo nye kutsetse tso nuyi siwo ʋua Yesu ƒe ŋkɔ me la me.
16 And do not be forgetful of doing good and of fellowship, for God is well-pleased with such sacrifices.
Migaŋlɔ nyuiwɔwɔ be o, eye miama nu kple mia nɔewo, elabena vɔsa siawo tɔgbie dzea Mawu ŋu.
17 Be obedient to those leading you, and be subject, for these watch for your souls, as about to give account, that they may do this with joy, and not sighing, for this [is] unprofitable to you.
Miɖo to miaƒe kplɔlawo, eye miwɔ ɖe nu siwo wogblɔ na mi la dzi, elabena wole mia ta kpɔm abe ame siwo wòle be woana akɔnta Mawu tso woƒe dɔwɔna ŋu ene. Miɖo to wo, ale be woƒe dɔwɔwɔ nanye dzidzɔ na wo, eye mazu agba na wo o; elabena ne ele alea la, manye kpekpeɖeŋu aɖeke na miawo hã o.
18 Pray for us, for we trust that we have a good conscience, willing to behave well in all things,
Mido gbe ɖa ɖe mía ta ɣe sia ɣi. Míeka ɖe edzi be dzitsinya nyui le mía si, eye míedina be míanɔ agbe bubutɔe ɣe sia ɣi le nu sia nu me.
19 and I call on [you] to do this more abundantly, that I may be restored to you more quickly.
Medi vevie be maƒoe ɖe mia nu tɔxɛe be miado gbe ɖa be woaɖe asi le ŋutinye na mi kpuie.
20 And the God of peace, who brought up the Great Shepherd of the sheep out of the dead—by the blood of a perpetual covenant—our Lord Jesus, (aiōnios )
Ŋutifafa ƒe Mawu la ame si to nubabla mavɔ ƒe ʋu la me kplɔ míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo Alẽkplɔlagã la do goe tso ame kukuwo dome la (aiōnios )
21 make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom [is] the glory through the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn )
natsɔ nu nyui sia nu nyui akpe ɖe mia ŋuti le eƒe lɔlɔ̃nuwɔwɔ ta, eye wòawɔ nu si dze eŋu la le mía me to Yesu Kristo dzi, ame si ko tɔ anye ŋutikɔkɔe tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me. Amen. (aiōn )
22 And I beg you, brothers, endure the word of the exhortation, for I have also written to you through few words.
Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, mele eƒom ɖe mia nu be mialé to ɖe nye dzideƒonamenyawo ŋu, elabena agbalẽ kpui aɖe koe wònye meŋlɔ na mi.
23 Know that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom I will see you, if he may come more shortly.
Medi be mana mianya be woɖe asi le mía nɔvi Timoteo ŋu. Ne eva ɖo afi sia kaba la, nye kplii míava kpɔ mi ɖa.
24 Greet all those leading you, and all the holy ones. Those from Italy greet you.
Mido gbe na miaƒe kplɔlawo katã kple Mawu ƒe ameawo katã. Nɔvi siwo tso Italia hã do gbe na mi.
25 The grace [is] with you all! Amen.
Amenuveve nanɔ anyi kple mi katã.
