Hebrews 13
1 Let brotherly love remain.
Qhubekani lithandana njengabazalwane.
2 Do not be forgetful of hospitality, for through this some entertained messengers unaware.
Lingakhohlwa ukwamukela izihambi ngoba ngokwenza njalo abanye abantu bamukela izingilosi bengazi.
3 Be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as yourselves also being in the body.
Khumbulani abasentolongweni ngokungathi lani liyizibotshwa kanye labo, kanye lalabo abaphethwe kubi ngokungathi lani uqobo liyahlupheka.
4 The marriage [is to be] honored by all, and the bed undefiled, for God will judge whoremongers and adulterers.
Ukuthathana kumele kuhlonitshwe ngumuntu wonke, kuthi lomendlalo wokuthathana uhlale uhlambulukile ngoba uNkulunkulu uzakwahlulela isifebe labo bonke abahlobongayo.
5 [Be] without covetous behavior, being content with the things present, for He has said, “No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake you,”
Ekuphileni kwenu xwayani ukuthanda imali lisuthiseke ngalokho elilakho, ngoba uNkulunkulu wathi: “Kangisoze ngilitshiye; kangisoze ngilidele.”
6 so that we boldly say, “The LORD [is] to me a helper, and I will not fear what man will do to me.”
Ngakho siyatsho ngethemba sithi: “INkosi ingumsizi wami; kangiyikwesaba. Umuntu angenzani kimi na?”
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:
Khumbulani abakhokheli benu, abakhuluma ilizwi likaNkulunkulu kini. Cabangani okwavela endleleni yokuphila kwabo lilingisele ukukholwa kwabo.
UJesu Khristu uyafana izolo lanamhla kanye laphakade. (aiōn g165)
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;
Lingathatheki ngazozonke inhlobo zemfundiso engaziwayo. Kuhle ukuba inhliziyo zethu ziqiniswe ngumusa, hatshi yikudla komkhuba okungelasizo kulabo abakudlayo.
10 we have an altar from which they who are serving the Dwelling Place have no authority to eat,
Thina sile-alithare lapho labo abakhonza ethabanikeleni bengelalungelo lokudlela kulo.
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.
Umphristi omkhulu uletha igazi lezifuyo eNdaweni eNgcwelengcwele njengomnikelo wesono kodwa izidumbu zazo ziyatshiswa ngaphandle kwezihonqo.
12 For this reason, also Jesus—that He might sanctify the people through [His] own blood—suffered outside the gate;
Ngokunjalo uJesu laye wahlupheka ngaphandle kwesango ledolobho ukuba enze abantu bakhe babengcwele ngegazi lakhe.
13 now then, may we go forth to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach;
Ngakho-ke, kasiyeni kuye ngaphandle kwezihonqo silehlazo alithwalayo.
14 for we have no abiding city here, but we seek the coming one.
Ngoba lapha kasiladolobho elimiyo njalo, kodwa sidinga idolobho elizayo.
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.
Ngakho, ngoJesu kasinikeleni njalonjalo kuNkulunkulu umhlatshelo wokubonga, isithelo sezindebe ezivuma ibizo lakhe.
16 And do not be forgetful of doing good and of fellowship, for God is well-pleased with such sacrifices.
Njalo lingakhohlwa ukwenza okulungileyo kanye lokwabela abanye ngoba uNkulunkulu uyathokoza ngemihlatshelo enje.
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.
Lalelani abakhokheli benu njalo lithobele amandla abo. Bayalilinda njengabantu okumele balandise ngani. Balaleleni ukuze umsebenzi wabo uthokozise njalo ungasindi ngoba lokho akungeke kube lusizo kini.
18 Pray for us, for we trust that we have a good conscience, willing to behave well in all things,
Sikhulekeleni. Sileqiniso ukuthi silesazela esihle njalo sifisa ukuhlala ngobuqotho ngezindlela zonke.
19 and I call on [you] to do this more abundantly, that I may be restored to you more quickly.
Ikakhulu ngiyalincenga ukuba likhuleke ukuze ngibuyiselwe kini masinyane.
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 g166)
Sengathi uNkulunkulu wokuthula, owavusa iNkosi yethu uJesu kwabafileyo ngegazi lesivumelwano esingapheliyo, lowoMalusi omkhulu wezimvu, (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
angalihlomisa ngakho konke okulungele ukwenza intando yakhe, njalo sengathi angasebenza phakathi kwethu lokho okumthokozisayo ngoJesu Khristu, udumo kalube kuye kuze kube nini lanini. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
22 And I beg you, brothers, endure the word of the exhortation, for I have also written to you through few words.
Bazalwane, ngiyalincenga ukuba libekezelele ilizwi lami lokuqonqosela kwami ngoba ngililobele incwadi emfitshane nje.
23 Know that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom I will see you, if he may come more shortly.
Ngithanda ukuba likwazi ukuthi umzalwane wethu uThimothi usekhululwe. Angafika masinyane ngizakuza laye sizelibona.
24 Greet all those leading you, and all the holy ones. Those from Italy greet you.
Bingelelani bonke abakhokheli benu kanye labantu bakaNkulunkulu bonke. Abavela e-Ithali bayalibingelela.
25 The grace [is] with you all! Amen.
Umusa kawube lani lonke.
