< Hebrews 13 >
1 Continue to love your fellow believers.
Pe ulughano lwa nyalukolo lughendelelaghe.
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.
Mulashamuaghe kukuvakalibisia avaghesi, ulwakuva kwa kuvomba n'diki, vamonga vakalibisia unyapola kisila kukagula.
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.
Mukagule vooni vano valimindinde, kuti mulyale navo kula palikimo navene, nave amaviili ghinu ghakavombilue ghakavombilue ndavule avene.
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.
Basi indoa joghopuaghe na vooni looli na kikitala kya ndoa kivombue kuva kinono, ulwakuva uNguluve ilihigha ava vwafu navaghenda mwelu.
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].
Looli isila sinu isa vukalo sive vwavuke mulughano lwa hela. Muve vano vikwilana ni finu fino mulinafyo, ulwakuva uNguluve jujuo akajovile, “Nanilikuvalika umue isfighono fyoni, nambe kuvatelekesia imue.”
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].
Looli tukwilanaghe neke tujove kuvukangali, uMutwa ghwe n'tangi ghwango; Nanikumwoghopa. Umuunhu ighwesia pikumbombela kiki?”
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].
Muvsaghe vala vano vavalongwile, vala vano vavalongwisiebilisio lya Nguluve kulyumue, na mukumbuka amajubu gha maghendelelo ghavanave.
8 Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn )
UYesu Kilisite ghwe mwene pamihe, umusyughu, na kuvusila kusila. (aiōn )
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.
Ulatemuagha ni mbulanisio inyinga isa kihesia ulwakuva lunoghile inumbula jijengue nuvu mufu, kisila ndagjilo isa kyakulia aghuo naghikuvatangha vala vano vikukala ku aghuo.
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].
Tuli namatekelo ghano vala vano vivombeka mu nkate nyumba injimike ija kufunyila navali nuvwakyang'haani kulia.
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.
Ulwakuva idanda sa ng'anu, sino sikahumisivue dhabihu vwimila vwa nyivi, jikaletilue nu ntekesi um'baha munkate mukiponge ikyime, looli amaviili ghave ghakanyanyilue kunji kulikambi.
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].
Looli na ju Yesu alyapumuike kunji pa mulyango wa likaja, ulu kuuti kuvika vavikue avaanhu kwa Nguluve kukilila idanda jamwene.
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.
Pauluo tulutaghe kwamwene kunji ku kambi, tupinde uvuhosi vwake.
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].
Ulwakuva natulinuvukalo vwa kuvusila kusila mulikaja ili. pauluo tulonde ilikaja lino likwisa.
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].
Kukilila u Yesu luvanoghile kakinga kuhuumia litekelo lwa kumulumba uNguluve, kumpala kuuti imeke ja malomo ghitu lyitike ilitavua lyake.
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.
Kange nulasyamuagha kuvomba amanofu na kutangana jumue kwa jumue, ulwakuva kwe kulitekelo ndavule ilio u anguluve ikulinoghela kyongo.
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).
Tiini na pikukwisia kuvatemi vinu, nene vighendelela kuku mulolelela vwimila vwa mhepo sinu, ndavule vala vano vihumia ikivalilo. Tiini neke kuti avatemi vinu valefie kuku vatinza kulukelo, kisila lusukunalo, jino najingavatange.
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.
Tufunye, ulwakuva tilinuvwa kyang'haani kuti tuli nuvufumbue vunono, tunoghelua pikukala uvukalo uvuvaha mu mbombo soni.
19 I urge you earnestly to pray that [God] will quickly remove the things that hinder my coming to you.
Mwevooni nikuvakemela mu nuumbula kukila muvombe ndiki, neke kuuti nighele kugomoka kulyumue apa pavupipi.
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 )
Lino uNguluve ghwa lutengano, juno akavaletile kange kuhuma kuvafue un'diimi um'baha ughwa Ng'oloo, Mutwa ghwitu Yesu, kudanda ja agano lya kuvusila kusila, (aiōnios )
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 )
Ikuvapela ingufu ku mbombo soni inofu kuvomba ulughano lwake, angavombe imbombo mun'kate mulyusue jino nofu ja kumunoghela pa maaso pa mwene, kukilila uYesu Kilisite, kwamwene vuve vwimike kuvusila na kusila. Ameni. (aiōn )
22 My fellow believers, I appeal to you that you patiently consider [what] I have written in this short letter, to exhort you.
Lino nikukukangasia inumbula, nyalukolo, kutolilanila nilisio lya kukangasia inumbula jino lino nikalyandike kulyumue.
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.
Kagula kuuti unyalukolo ghwitu Timotheo atavulilue mu vwavuke, juno palikimo nu mwene nikuvavona nave ilikwisa pavupipi.
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).
Hungila avatemi vako vooni na vitiki vooni. Vala vano vihuma ku Italia vikukuhungila.
25 [I pray that] you will continue to experience God’s acting kindly toward you all.
Nuvumofu uve numue mweni.
