< Hebrews 13 >
1 Let brotherly love always continue.
Minɔ mia nɔewo lɔlɔ̃ dzi ɖaa abe dadaviwo ene
2 Do not neglect to show kindness to strangers; for, in this way, some, without knowing it, have had angels as their guests.
Migaŋlɔ amedzrowɔwɔ be o; to esia wɔwɔ me la, ame aɖewo xɔ mawudɔlawo le manyamanya me.
3 Remember prisoners, as if you were in prison with them; and remember those suffering ill-treatment, for you yourselves also are still in the body.
Miɖo ŋku ame siwo wode gaxɔ me la dzi abe miawo hãe le gaxɔ me kpli wo ene. Nenema ke miɖo ŋku ame siwo wole fu wɔmii la dzi abe miawo hãe le fua kpem ene.
4 Let marriage be held in honour among all, and let the marriage bed be unpolluted; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
Ame sia ame nade bubu srɔ̃ɖeɖe ŋu eye womaƒo ɖi srɔ̃ɖeba o, elabena Mawu abu fɔ ahasiwɔlawo kple matrewɔlawo katã.
5 Your lives should be untainted by love for money. Be content with what you have; for God Himself has said, "I will never, never let go your hand: I will never never forsake you."
Mite mia ɖokuiwo ɖa xaa tso galɔlɔ̃ gbɔ, eye nu si le mia si la nedze mia ŋu, elabena Mawu gblɔ be, “Nyemaɖe asi le mia ŋu akpɔ o, eye nyemagblẽ mi ɖi akpɔ gbeɖe o.”
6 So that we fearlessly say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid: what can man do to me?"
Esia ta míegblɔ kple dzideƒo be, “Yehowae nye nye xɔnametɔ, nyemavɔ̃ o. Nu ka amegbetɔ ate ŋu awɔm?”
7 Remember your former leaders--it was they who brought you God's Message. Bear in mind how they ended their lives, and imitate their faith.
Miɖo ŋku miaƒe kplɔlawo dzi, ame siwo gblɔa Mawu ƒe nya na mi. Mibu nu siwo do go tso woƒe agbenɔnɔ me la ŋuti ne miasrɔ̃ woƒe xɔse.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day--yes, and to the ages to come. (aiōn )
Yesu Kristo metrɔna gbeɖe o, ale si wònɔ etsɔ si va yi, nenema kee wòle egbe, eye nenema kee wòanɔ ɖaa. (aiōn )
9 Do not be drawn aside by all sorts of strange teaching; for it is well to have the heart made stedfast through God's grace, and not by special kinds of food, from which those who scrupulously attend to them have derived no benefit.
Migana nufiafia trama aɖeke nakplɔ miaƒe susuwo adzoe o. Enyo be woatsɔ amenuveve ado ŋusẽ miaƒe dziwo, ke menye to nuɖuɖu tɔxɛ aɖewo ƒe sewo dzi wɔwɔ me o, esiwo mehea viɖe aɖeke vanɛ na ame siwo ɖunɛ la o.
10 We Christians have an altar from which the ministers of the Jewish Tent have no right to eat.
Vɔsamlekpui aɖe le mia si; nunɔla siwo subɔna le Agbadɔ me gɔ̃ hã mekpɔ mɔ aɖu nu si tso vɔsamlekpui sia dzi o.
11 For the bodies of those animals of which the blood is carried by the High Priest into the Holy place as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.
Nunɔlagã la tsɔa lãwo ƒe ʋu yina ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la abe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa ene, gake wotɔa dzo lãwo ŋutɔ le asaɖa la godo.
12 And for this reason Jesus also, in order, by His own blood, to set the people free from sin, suffered outside the gate.
Esia tae Yesu hã kpe fu le du la ƒe agbo godo be wòakɔ eƒe amewo ŋu, awɔ wo kɔkɔe to eya ŋutɔ ƒe ʋu la me.
13 Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, sharing the insults directed against Him.
Eya ta mina míayi egbɔ azɔ le asaɖa la godo be míawo hã míaɖu ŋukpe si wòtsɔ,
14 For we have no permanent city here, but we are longing for the city which is soon to be ours.
elabena du si nɔa anyi ɖaa la, mele mía si le afii o, ke míele mɔ kpɔm na du si lava va.
15 Through Him, then, let us continually lay on the altar a sacrifice of praise to God, namely, the utterance of lips that give thanks to His Name.
Eya ta mina míatsɔ kafukafuvɔsa na Mawu ɣe sia ɣi to Yesu dzi, kafukafu siwo nye kutsetse tso nuyi siwo ʋua Yesu ƒe ŋkɔ me la me.
16 And do not forget to be kind and liberal; for with sacrifices of that sort God is greatly pleased.
Migaŋlɔ nyuiwɔwɔ be o, eye miama nu kple mia nɔewo, elabena vɔsa siawo tɔgbie dzea Mawu ŋu.
17 Obey your leaders and be submissive to them. For they are keeping watch over your souls as those who will have to give account; that they may do this with joy and not with lamentation. For that would be of no advantage to you.
Miɖo to miaƒe kplɔlawo, eye miwɔ ɖe nu siwo wogblɔ na mi la dzi, elabena wole mia ta kpɔm abe ame siwo wòle be woana akɔnta Mawu tso woƒe dɔwɔna ŋu ene. Miɖo to wo, ale be woƒe dɔwɔwɔ nanye dzidzɔ na wo, eye mazu agba na wo o; elabena ne ele alea la, manye kpekpeɖeŋu aɖeke na miawo hã o.
18 Keep on praying for us; for we are sure that we have clear consciences, and we desire to live nobly in every respect.
Mido gbe ɖa ɖe mía ta ɣe sia ɣi. Míeka ɖe edzi be dzitsinya nyui le mía si, eye míedina be míanɔ agbe bubutɔe ɣe sia ɣi le nu sia nu me.
19 I specially urge this upon you in order that I may be the more speedily restored to you.
Medi vevie be maƒoe ɖe mia nu tɔxɛe be miado gbe ɖa be woaɖe asi le ŋutinye na mi kpuie.
20 Now may God who gives peace, and brought Jesus, our Lord, up again from among the dead--even Him who, by virtue of the blood of the eternal Covenant, is the great Shepherd of the sheep-- (aiōnios )
Ŋutifafa ƒe Mawu la ame si to nubabla mavɔ ƒe ʋu la me kplɔ míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo Alẽkplɔlagã la do goe tso ame kukuwo dome la (aiōnios )
21 fully equip you with every grace that you may need for the doing of His will, producing in us that which will truly please Him through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen. (aiōn )
natsɔ nu nyui sia nu nyui akpe ɖe mia ŋuti le eƒe lɔlɔ̃nuwɔwɔ ta, eye wòawɔ nu si dze eŋu la le mía me to Yesu Kristo dzi, ame si ko tɔ anye ŋutikɔkɔe tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me. Amen. (aiōn )
22 Bear with me, brethren, when I thus exhort you; for, in fact, it is but a short letter that I have written to you.
Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, mele eƒom ɖe mia nu be mialé to ɖe nye dzideƒonamenyawo ŋu, elabena agbalẽ kpui aɖe koe wònye meŋlɔ na mi.
23 You will rejoice to hear that our brother Timothy has been set at liberty. If he comes soon, I will see you with him.
Medi be mana mianya be woɖe asi le mía nɔvi Timoteo ŋu. Ne eva ɖo afi sia kaba la, nye kplii míava kpɔ mi ɖa.
24 Greet all your leaders and all God's people. The brethren from Italy send you greetings.
Mido gbe na miaƒe kplɔlawo katã kple Mawu ƒe ameawo katã. Nɔvi siwo tso Italia hã do gbe na mi.
25 Grace be with you all! Amen.
Amenuveve nanɔ anyi kple mi katã.
