< Hebrews 13 >
1 Let brotherly love continue.
Minɔ mia nɔewo lɔlɔ̃ dzi ɖaa abe dadaviwo ene
2 Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.
Migaŋlɔ amedzrowɔwɔ be o; to esia wɔwɔ me la, ame aɖewo xɔ mawudɔlawo le manyamanya me.
3 Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you are also 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 amongst all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
Ame sia ame nade bubu srɔ̃ɖeɖe ŋu eye womaƒo ɖi srɔ̃ɖeba o, elabena Mawu abu fɔ ahasiwɔlawo kple matrewɔlawo katã.
5 Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way 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 with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. 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 leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, 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, today, and forever. (aiōn )
Yesu Kristo metrɔna gbeɖe o, ale si wònɔ etsɔ si va yi, nenema kee wòle egbe, eye nenema kee wòanɔ ɖaa. (aiōn )
9 Don’t be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefitted.
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 have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle 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, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burnt outside of 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 Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of 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 Let’s therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach.
Eya ta mina míayi egbɔ azɔ le asaɖa la godo be míawo hã míaɖu ŋukpe si wòtsɔ,
14 For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.
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’s offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance 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 But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Migaŋlɔ nyuiwɔwɔ be o, eye miama nu kple mia nɔewo, elabena vɔsa siawo tɔgbie dzea Mawu ŋu.
17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for 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 Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honourably in all things.
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 strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.
Medi vevie be maƒoe ɖe mia nu tɔxɛe be miado gbe ɖa be woaɖe asi le ŋutinye na mi kpuie.
20 Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus, (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 make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. 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 But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.
Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, mele eƒom ɖe mia nu be mialé to ɖe nye dzideƒonamenyawo ŋu, elabena agbalẽ kpui aɖe koe wònye meŋlɔ na mi.
23 Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.
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 of your leaders and all the saints. The Italians greet you.
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.
