Hebrews 13
1 Continue to love your fellow believers.
Uugwa ulowa nua kinyandugu nu ulongoleke.
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.
Muleke kiwa kuasingiilya ia ziila, ndogoelyo ku kituma iti, ang'wi a asingiiye i amalaika ize shanga alingile.
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.
Kimbukiilya ihi niamoli mu kadulumu, anga kina ai mukoli nienso kuko palung'wi ni enso, hangi anga ize i miili anyu ai itendilwe anga enso.
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.
Uugwa witeni nu ukuligwe ni ihi nu ulili nua witini nu uzipigwe kutula uziza, ku ndogoelyo Itunda ukualamula i asambo ni agoolya.
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].
Uugwa inzila nianyu nia wikalo itule ndyuuku mu ulowa nua mpia, Mutule meikuti mu intu ni muikete, kuiti Itunda mukola ai uligitilye, “Shanga kumuleka unyenye nangaluu, ang'wi kumugumaniilya unyenye.”
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].
Uugwa kikute iti kuligitye ku ukamatiku, “uMukulu ingi muaiilya nuane; Shanga kitumba. uNg'wana Adamu uhumile kuntendeela ntuni?”
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].
Asigiili awo nai amutongile, awo nai aligitilye u lukani nulang'wa Itunda kitalanyu, hangi kimbukiilyi i mapumilo a ngendo niao; Tyatishi u uhuiili nuao.
uYesu Kristo ingi ng'wenso igulo, lelo, hangi ga ni kali na kali. (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.
Uleke kutongeelwa nu umanyisigwa nui kuli kuli nua kiziila kuiti ingi iziza kina inkolo izengwe ku ukende, hangi shanga ku malagiilyo kutula ndya nanso shanga aku a aiilya awo ni ikie ku nanso.
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].
Ku kete i matekeelo nai iza awo ni iaiilya mukati a kizindaalo agila i tai ane a kulya.
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.
Ku nsoko i sakami a ikali, napumigwe ipolya ku nsoko a milandu, ai iletilwe nu kuhani nu mukulu mukati a kipango ni kelu, kuiti i miili ao ai isonsilwe kunzi a nkango.
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].
Ku lulo uYesu nu ng'wenso ai wagile kunzi a mumpita nua kisali, iti kina kuika wakfu antu kung'wa Itunda kukiila sakama akwe.
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.
Ni ku lulo kweni kitalakwe kunzi a nkango, kuze kukenkile i kimeli ni kakwe.
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].
Kuiti kiagila u likalo nulikiie mu kisali iki. Badala akwe kudume i kisali naza kipembilye.
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].
Ku kiila uYesu mutakiwe nkua ku nkua kipumya isongelyo nila kumukulya Itunda, kumulumba kina nkali a milomo itu lilape i lina nilakwe.
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.
Hangi uleke kiwa kituma ni maziza nu kiaiilya nyenye ku nyenye, Ku nsoko ingi ku isongelyo anga ize nanso yiyo Itunda wiloeeligwa ikulu.
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).
Iji nu kisimya ku alukolongo anyu, kuiti alongolekile kumusunja ku nsoko a ung'yenyi nuanyu, anga awo ni ikapumya u aligwa. Iji iti kina i a lukolongo anyu ahume kumusunja ku ulowa, ni shanga ku kinya uwai, nai iza shanga ikumuaiilya.
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.
Kulompeeli, kuiti kukete i kulu kuulu kina kukete isigo iziza, kukete i nsula a kikie likalo nula ukulu mu makani ihi.
19 I urge you earnestly to pray that [God] will quickly remove the things that hinder my coming to you.
Hangi yihi nikamukinyila ikilo mitume izi, iti kina nihume kusuka kitalanyu itungo nila pakupi.
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)
Itungili Itunda nua ulyuuku, nai iza umuletile hangi kupuma mu ashi u mudimi nu mukulu nua nkolo, Mukulu nuitu uYesu, ku sakami a ilago nila kali na kali. (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)
Ukuminkiilya u uhumi ku kila ikani niza kituma u ulowa nuakwe, wazituma i milimo mukati itu nikoli miziza ni iloeeye mu miho akwe, kukiila uYesu Kristo, kitalakwe itule ikulyo i kali na kali. Amina. (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.
Itungili nika kusamiilya, munyandugu, kihoeela nu lukani nula kusamiilya nai iza ku ukupi ai nulukilisilye kitalanyu.
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.
Linga kina u munyandugu nuitu uTimotheo walekelwaa ilyuuku, nai iza palung'wi nu ng'wenso nikamihenga anga ize uzile apa ikupi.
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).
Lamusha i a lukolongo ako ihi ni ahuiili ihi. Awo niapembeeye ku Italia akulamukilye.
25 [I pray that] you will continue to experience God’s acting kindly toward you all.
Nu ukende utule nu nyenye mihi.
