< Hebrews 13 >
1 Let brotherly love always continue.
Tswelelang ka go ratana ka lorato lwa boammaaruri lwa sekaulengwe.
2 Do not neglect to show kindness to strangers; for, in this way, some, without knowing it, have had angels as their guests.
Lo seka lwa lebala go nna pelonomi mo go ba eleng baeng, gonne bangwe ba ba kileng ba dira jaana ba ne ba tshogana ka ba tshotse baengele ba sa itse gore a ke bone.
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.
Lo seka lwa lebala ba ba mo kgolegelong. Bogang le bone jaaka o ka re le lona lo mo kgolegelong nabo. Tlhakanelang kutlobotlhoko le ba ba sotlwang, gonne lo itse gore tshotlego e utlwala jang.
4 Let marriage be held in honour among all, and let the marriage bed be unpolluted; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
Tlotlang lenyalo la lona le maikano a lone, lo bo lo nne phepa; gonne ruri Modimo o tlaa otlhaya botlhe ba ba bosula kgotsa ba ba dirang boaka.
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."
Ikgogeng mo go rateng madi; itumeleleng se lo nang naso. Gonne Modimo o rile, “Ga ke kitla, ke go tlogela le fa e le go go latlha.”
6 So that we fearlessly say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid: what can man do to me?"
Ke gone ka moo re ka buang kwa ntle ga pelaelo kgotsa poifo re re, “Morena ke mothusi wa me mme ga ke boife sepe se motho fela o ka se ntirang.”
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.
Gakologelwang baeteledipele ba lona ba ba lo rutileng Lefoko la Modimo. Akanyang kaga bomolemo jotlhe jo bo duleng mo matshelong a bone, lo bo lo leke go ikanya Morena fela jaaka ba mo ikanya.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day--yes, and to the ages to come. (aiōn )
Jesu Keresete e ntse ke ene wa maabane, wa gompieno, le wa bosakhutleng. (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.
Ke gone lo se ka lwa gapiwa mewa ke dithuto tse dintsha tsa seeng. Nonofo ya lona ya semowa e tla e le neo e e tswang kwa Modimong, ga e tswe mo melaong e e itiretsweng ya go ja dijo dingwe, tsamaiso e e sa thusang ka sepe ba ba neng ba e dirisa.
10 We Christians have an altar from which the ministers of the Jewish Tent have no right to eat.
Re na le sebeso, mokgoro o Keresete o neng a ntshiwa setlhabelo mo go one, kwa ba ba tswelelang ka go batla poloko ka go obamela melao ya Sejuta ba ka sekeng ba thusiwa teng.
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.
Ka fa tsamaisong ya melao ya Sejuta moperesiti yo mogolo o ne a lere madi a diruiwa tse di bolailweng mo felong ga boitshepo e le setlhabelo sa sebe, mme morago ga moo ditoto tsa diruiwa tseo di ne di fisediwa ka molelo ka kwa ntle ga metse.
12 And for this reason Jesus also, in order, by His own blood, to set the people free from sin, suffered outside the gate.
Ke gone ka moo a neng a boga a ba a swela ka kwa ntle ga motse kwa madi a gagwe a neng a tlhatswa dibe tsa rona teng.
13 Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, sharing the insults directed against Him.
Ke gone a re tsweleng kwa go ene kwa ntle ga motse (ke gore, kwa ntle ga dikgatlhego tsa lefatshe leno, re ineele go nyadiwa) go boga nae teng koo, re rwele kgobo nae.
14 For we have no permanent city here, but we are longing for the city which is soon to be ours.
Gonne lefatshe leno ga se legae la rona; re lebeletse legae la rona la bosena-bokhutlo kwa legodimong.
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.
Ka thuso ya ga Keresete re tlaa tswelela re ntshetsa Modimo setlhabelo sa rona sa kgalaletso ka go bolelela ba bangwe kaga kgalalelo ya leina la gagwe.
16 And do not forget to be kind and liberal; for with sacrifices of that sort God is greatly pleased.
Lo se ka lwa lebala go dira tshiamo le go abalana se lo nang naso le ba ba tlhokang, gonne ditlhabelo tse di ntseng jaana di itumedisa Modimo thata.
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.
Ikobeleng baeteledipele ba lona ba semowa lo bo lo ineele go dira se ba se buang. Gonne tiro ya bone ke go tlhokomela mewa ya lona, mme Modimo o tlaa ba atlhola ka fa ba dirang tiro e ka teng. Dirang gore ba bolelele Morena ka lona ba itumetse mme e seng ka bohutsana, gonne le lona lo tlaa boga kaga dilo tseo.
18 Keep on praying for us; for we are sure that we have clear consciences, and we desire to live nobly in every respect.
Re rapeleleng, gonne segakolodi sa rona se siame mme re batla go tswelela fela jalo.
19 I specially urge this upon you in order that I may be the more speedily restored to you.
Nna tota ke tlhoka dithapelo tsa lona thata gone jaanong gore ke tle ke tle kwa go lona ka bofefo.
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 )
A jaanong Modimo wa kagiso, o o tsositseng Morena wa rona Jesu mo losong, o lo neye tsotlhe tse lo di tlhokang go dira go rata ga One. A ene yo o Modisa yo mogolo wa dinku ka kgolagano e e sa khutleng fa gare ga Modimo le lona, yo o kanetseng ka madi a gagwe, a ntshe mo go lona ka nonofo ya ga Keresete tsotlhe tse di mo itumedisang. A Kgalalelo e nne kwa go ene ka metlha le metlha Amen. (aiōn , 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 )
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.
Bakaulengwe, tswee-tswee reetsang ka bopelotelele se ke se buileng mo lokwalong lo, gonne ke lokwalo lo lo khutshwane.
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.
Ke batla gore lo itse gore Mokaulengwe Timotheo o dule mo kgolegelong; fa a tla kwano ka bofefo, ke tlaa tla le ene go lo bona.
24 Greet all your leaders and all God's people. The brethren from Italy send you greetings.
Ntumedisetsang baeteledipele ba lona botlhe le badumedi ba bangwe koo. Bakeresete ba ba kwano ba ba tswang kwa Itale ba a lo dumedisa. A tshegofatso ya Modimo e nne le lona lotlhe. Salang sentle.
25 Grace be with you all! Amen.
