Hebrews 13
1 Continue to love your fellow believers.
Cingnahqui amyihna lung qu na poe lah uh.
2 Do not forget to be hospitable to needy travelers [LIT]. You need to know that by being hospitable, some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
Khin ak khai do a dan aham koeh hilh law uh, cemyihna ak do ak dankhqi ing sim kaana khan ceityihkhqi ce do a dan uhy.
3 Remember [to help] those who are in prison [because they are Christians], as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are being mistreated {whom people are mistreating} [because they are believers. As you do that], consider that you you could suffer as they do.
Thawngim ak tlakhqi ce thawng ak tla pyi amyihna poek qu unawh koeh hilh law uh, thlang ing a thekhanaak thlangkhqi ce na mimah awm ak khuikhakhqi amyihna poek qu unawh koeh hilh law uh.
4 You must (respect/keep sacred) the marriage relationship in every way, and you must keep sexual relations [EUP] pure, because God will surely condemn those who act immorally and those who act adulterously.
Chungvanaak ve thlang boeih ing a zoeksang aham awm hy, chungvanaak ihkhun awm a ciimcaih aham awm hy, kawtih ak samphaihkhqi ingkaw nu ingkaw pa amak thym na ak awmkhqi ce Khawsa ing awi deng kaw.
5 Live without constantly coveting money, and be content with the things you possess, remembering what [Moses] wrote [that God] has said [about supplying what you need], I will never leave you, I will never stop providing for you [DOU].
Tangka ngaihnaak ing khaw koeh sa law, na taak ang cang ing na mik kaw tlyp law sak uh, kawtih Khawsa ing, Ityk awh awm amni cehtaak kawng nyng; ityk awh awm amni qoeng hyt kawng nyng,” tihy.
6 So we can say confidently [as the Psalmist said], Since the Lord is the one who helps me, I will not be afraid! People can do nothing to me [that will deprive me of God’s blessings] [RHQ].
Cedawngawh ningnih ing ngaih tlypnaak ing, Bawipa taw ak dawm ak hlaikung ni; am kqih kawng nyng. U ing kai ikaw ani tinaak tang kaw? ni ti uhy.
7 Your spiritual leaders used to tell you the message from God [before they died]. Remember how they conducted their lives. By considering (how they died/what resulted from how they lived), imitate how they believed [in Christ/God].
Nangmih anik ukkungkhqi, nangmih a venawh Khawsak awi ak kqawn lawkungkhqi ce koeh hilh law uh. A mingmih a khawsaknaak ce poek unawh taw a mingmih ak cangnaak ce oet lah uh.
Jesu Khrih taw zan, tuhngawi ingkaw kumqui dyna am hleng qu hy. (aiōn g165)
9 [So], do not let yourselves be diverted {let anything divert you} so that you believe various teachings [that are contrary to God’s truth]. It is good that God acts kindly toward us so that we may be strengthened spiritually. [Obeying rules about] various foods, rules that have not benefited those who obeyed them, will not benefit us.
Cawngsaknaak ak lawha soepkep ce koeh hqut law uh. Am qeennaak ing ningnih ak kawlung ve tha awm sak aham leek hy, buh awk a ainaak kung awhkaw buh a an kaana, buh ak veelkhqi aham ikaw a phu am awm hy.
10 We have [Jesus] [MTY]. All those who continue to observe the Jewish rituals [MTY] of sacrifice have no right to obtain the benefits of his sacrifice [MET].
Cehlai hi im awhkaw bi ak bikhqi ing ce bawkthang awh buh ama ai thai bawkthang ce ningnih ing ni ta uhy.
11 After the high priest brings into the most holy place the blood of animals [that they have sacrificed to atone] for sins, the bodies of those animals are burned {they burn the bodies of those animals} outside the camp.
Khawsoih boeikhyt ing Hun Ciim soeih ak khuiawh qamsa a thi ce thawlh ik-oeih suum na khyn hy, cehlai a pum taw a ceng na hyih na phum hy.
12 Similarly, Jesus suffered [and died] outside the gate [of Jerusalem] in order that he might make [us], his people, holy by [offering] his own blood [as a sacrifice to atone for our sins].
Cedawngawh Jesu ingawm amah a thi ing thlangkhqi ce ciim sak aham khawk bau awhkaw vawng a ceng na khuikha hu hy.
13 So, we must abandon [performing Jewish] sacrifices and rituals [MET] [in order to be saved], and let us go to Jesus [to be saved]. As we do that, we must [be willing to] let others reproach us just like people reproached Jesus.
Cedawngawh, the a kha a zawknaak vawng a ceng na amah a venna cet lah u sih.
14 Here on earth, we believers do not have a city [such as Jerusalem where we must] continually [offer sacrifices] [MET]. Instead, we are waiting for a future [heavenly] city [that will last forever].
Ikawtih vawh ve khawk bau ce ni ni sui uh hy.
15 With [the help of] Jesus, we must continually praise God. That will be something we can sacrifice [to him] [MET] [instead of our sacrificing animals only at specific times]. Specifically, we must say openly [MTY] [that we have trusted] in Christ [MTY].
Cedawngawh, Jesu ak caming Khawsa venawh ang ming ak cangnaak hui am kha ak thaih ing kyihnaak ce a boet qoe kaana suum u sih.
16 Be continually [LIT] doing good deeds [for others], and be continually sharing [with others the things you have], because doing things like that will [also] be [as though you are offering] sacrifices that will please God.
Ik-oeih leek sainaak ing thlang a venawh kqawn peek poetoe aham koeh hilh u sih, kawtih vemyih lucik sainaak ing khawsak kaw zeel sak hy.
17 Obey your [spiritual] leaders; do what they tell you, since they are the ones who are looking out for your spiritual welfare [SYN]. [Some day] they will have to stand before God so that he can say if he approves of what they have done. Obey them in order that they can do the work of guarding you joyfully, and not have to do it sadly, because if you cause them to do it sadly, that will certainly not help you at all (OR, they will not be able to help you at all).
Nangmih anik ukkhqik awi ce ngai unawh taw a saithainaak awh ce pe qu law lah uh. A mimah a bibinaak akawng ak kqawn hly kawi na ami awm awh nangmih ce ni khoem ni doen khqi poepa hy.

18 Pray for me. I am certain that I have not done anything that displeases God. I have tried to act honorably [toward you] in every way.
kaimih aham cykcah lah uh. Kaimih ingtaw ik-oeih soepkep awh thlang ak kqihchah kawi na khaw sak aham ak ciim na kawpoek ta unyng.
19 I urge you earnestly to pray that [God] will quickly remove the things that hinder my coming to you.
Nangmih ce ka nim thawh thai khqi tlaihnaak aham awipui na cykcah aham ni ceei khqi nyng.
20 Jesus [provides for us], [protects us, and guides us as] a great shepherd does for his sheep [MET]. And God, who gives us [inner] peace, brought our Lord Jesus back to life. By doing that, God ratified his eternal covenant with us by the blood [that flowed from Jesus when he died on the] cross. (aiōnios g166)
Tuukhaikung bau na ak awm ningnih a Bawipa Jesu Khrih ak caming kumqui awikamnaak sainaak ak haw lawkung, ngaihdingnaak Khawsa ing, (aiōnios g166)
21 So I pray that God will equip you with everything good [that you need in order] that you may do the things that he desires. May he accomplish in our lives whatever he considers pleasing as a result of Jesus Christ [equipping us]. May Jesus Christ be praised forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
amah ak kawngaih saithainaak aham ik-oeih soepkep ing ni thoeihcam khqi seitaw, amah ak kawzeelnaak ce Jesu Khrih ak caming ningnih ak khuiawh sai seh, Jesu Khrih a venawh thangleeknaak kumqui dy awm seh. Amen (aiōn g165)
22 My fellow believers, I appeal to you that you patiently consider [what] I have written in this short letter, to exhort you.
Koeinaakhqi, ka ni ynnaakkhqi awi ve ak nepna naming ngai aham ngaih nyng, ca ak tawi cani nangmih aham ka qee law hy.
23 I want you to know that our fellow believer Timothy has been released {[the authorities] have released our fellow believer Timothy} [from prison]. If he comes here soon, he will accompany me when I go to see you.
Ningmih a naa Timote hlah hawh uhy tice nami sim aham ni ngaih khqi nyng. Anih ce a pha law awhtaw, nangmih hqip aham anih ingqawi law haih kawng nih nyng.
24 Tell all your [spiritual] leaders and all the [other] fellow believers [in your city] that (I am thinking fondly about them/I am sending them my greetings). The believers [in this area who have come] from Italy [want you to know they] are (thinking about you/sending you their greetings).
A hqamcakhqi ingkaw Khawsak thlangkhqi boeih ce kut tlaih law uh. Italy qam awhkaw thlangkhqi ing kut ni tlaih uhy.
25 [I pray that] you will continue to experience God’s acting kindly toward you all.
Nangmih boeih a venawh am qeennaak awm seh.
