Hebrews 13
1 Continue to love your fellow believers.
Ka ịhụnanya unu nwere nʼetiti unu na-adịgide.
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.
Unu echefula ịnabata ndị ọbịa, nʼihi na ụfọdụ ndị mere nke a lekọtara ndị mmụọ ozi ma ha amataghị.
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.
Chetanụ ndị nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ dị ka a ga-asị na unu so ha nọdụ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ. Chetakwanụ ndị a na-ata ahụhụ, dịka a ga-asị na unu onwe unu so ha na-ahụ ahụhụ nʼahụ unu.
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.
Ka ọlụlụ dị na nwunye bụrụ ihe onye ọbụla na-akwanyere ugwu, ka ihe ndina unu bụrụkwa nke a na-emerụghị emerụ. Nʼihi na Chineke ga-ekpe ndị na-akwa iko na ndị ụrụ ikpe.
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].
Debenụ ndụ unu pụọ nʼịhụnanya nke ego, ka afọ ju unu nʼihe unu nwere, nʼihi na o kwuola, “Agaghị m ahapụ gị. O nwekwaghị mgbe m ga-eji gbakụta gị azụ.”
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].
Ya mere anyị pụrụ iji obi ike na-atụghị egwu kwuo, “Onyenwe anyị bụ onye na-enyere m aka. Agaghị m atụ egwu. Gịnị ka mmadụ pụrụ ime m?”
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].
Chetanụ ndịisi unu, ndị gwara unu okwu Chineke. Tuleenụ otu ndụ siri dị, na-eṅomikwanụ okwukwe ha.
Otu Jisọs Kraịst dị ụnyaahụ, ka ọ dị taa, otu a ka ọ ga-adịgidekwa ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. (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.
Unu ekwela ka e jiri ozizi ọhụrụ nke dịkwa iche duhie unu. Nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe dị mma ka e were amara mee ka obi sie ike, ọ bụghị site nʼidebe iwu banyere nri nke na-enweghị uru ọ bara ndị na-edebe ya.
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].
Anyị nwere ebe ịchụ aja, ebe ndị niile na-eje ozi ha nʼụlọ ikwu a enweghị ike iri aja a chụrụ nʼelu ya.
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.
Onyeisi nchụaja na-ewebata ọbara ụmụ anụ ndị ahụ nʼEbe Kachasị Nsọ dịka aja maka mmehie, ma a na-erepịa anụ ahụ ha ọkụ na mpụga ụlọ ikwu.
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].
Nʼotu aka ahụ, Jisọs nʼonwe ya tara ahụhụ na mpụga ọnụ ụzọ ama obodo ka o jiri ọbara ya mee ka ndị nke ya dị nsọ.
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.
Ya mere, ka anyị gakwuru ya nʼazụ ụlọ ikwu soro ya die mkparị o diri.
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].
Nʼihi na ụwa abụghị ụlọ anyị, ma anyị na-ele anya obodo nke gaje ịbịa.
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].
Site na ya, ka anyị na-achụrụ Chineke aja otuto mgbe niile, nke bụ mkpụrụ egbugbere ọnụ nke na-ekwupụta aha ya.
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.
Unu echefula ime ihe ọma, meekwanụ ka ndị ọzọ soro unu kekọọ ihe unu nwere. Nke a bụ ụdị aja na-atọ Chineke ụtọ.
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).
Ka unu na-ekwenyere ndị ndu unu, dokwaanụ onwe unu nʼokpuru ha. Nʼihi na ọrụ ha bụ ịhụ maka mkpụrụobi unu dịka ndị ga-aza azịza. Meenụ nke a ka ha were ọṅụ na-eje ozi ha, ma ọ bụghị site nʼobi mwute nʼihi na nke a agaghị abara unu uru.
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.
Na-ekperenụ anyị ekpere, nʼihi na o doro anyị anya na anyị nwere akọnuche dị ọcha na-achọkwa ibi ndụ nwere ugwu nʼụzọ niile.
19 I urge you earnestly to pray that [God] will quickly remove the things that hinder my coming to you.
Ana m arịọsị unu ya ike, ka unu mee nke a, ka m nwee ike ịlọghachikwute unu ọsịịsọ.
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)
Ugbu a ka Chineke nke udo, onye ahụ sitere nʼọbara ọgbụgba ndụ ebighị ebi ahụ kpọghachite Onyenwe anyị Jisọs, Onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ukwuu ahụ, site nʼọnwụ, (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)
mee ka unu zuo oke nʼezi ihe ọma niile ọbụla, nke ga-enyere unu aka ime ihe ọ na-achọ. Ka ọ rụpụta nʼetiti anyị ihe ndị ahụ niile na-atọ ya ụtọ site na Jisọs Kraịst, onye otuto niile dịrị ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi. 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.
Ụmụnna m, arịọọ m unu, ka unu were ntachiobi nụrụ okwu agbamume m gwara unu nʼime akwụkwọ a na-etoghị ogologo.
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.
Ana m eme ka unu mata na nwanna anyị Timoti esitela nʼụlọ mkpọrọ pụta. Mụ na ya ga-esoro bịa leta unu ma ọ bụrụ na ọ bịa nʼebe a na mgbe na-adịghị anya.
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).
Keleerenụ m ndịisi unu niile na ndị nsọ niile. Ndị si Itali na-ezitere unu ekele ha.
25 [I pray that] you will continue to experience God’s acting kindly toward you all.
Ka amara dịnyere unu niile.
