Ahibirania 13
1 Ikaragai mwendaine ta ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ.
May love for each other as brothers and sisters always continue!
2 Mũtikanariganĩrwo nĩgũtuga ageni, nĩ ũndũ andũ amwe tondũ wa gwĩka ũguo maananyiita araika ũgeni matekũmenya.
Don't forget to show love for strangers too, because by doing so some have welcomed angels without knowing it.
3 Ririkanagai andũ arĩa mohetwo o ta muohetwo hamwe nao, o na mũririkanage arĩa marathĩĩnio taarĩ inyuĩ ene mũranyamario.
Remember those who are locked up in prison as if you were imprisoned with them. Remember those who are mistreated as if you were physically suffering with them.
4 Ũhoro wa kũhikania nĩwagĩrĩirwo nĩgũtĩĩo nĩ andũ othe, naguo ũrĩrĩ wa arĩa mahikanĩtie ndũgathaahio; nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩagaciirithia arĩa othe matharagia, na ahũũri-maraya othe.
Everyone should honor marriage. Husbands and wives should be faithful to each other. God will judge adulterers.
5 Ikaragai mũtegũkorokera mbeeca, na mũiganagwo nĩ kĩrĩa mũrĩ nakĩo, tondũ Ngai oigĩte atĩrĩ, “Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaagũtiganĩria; na ndigagũtirika o narĩ.”
Don't love money; be content with what you have. God himself has said, “I'll never let you down; I'll never give up on you.”
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio no tuuge tũũmĩrĩirie atĩrĩ, “Mwathani nĩwe mũndeithia; ndingĩĩtigĩra. Mũndũ-rĩ, nĩ atĩa angĩhota kũnjĩka?”
That's why we can confidently say, “The Lord is the one who helps me, so I won't be afraid. What can anyone do to me?”
7 Ririkanagai atongoria anyu arĩa maamũheire ũhoro wa Ngai. Cũranagiai ũhoro wa maciaro ma mĩikarĩre yao, na mwĩgerekanagie nao ũhoro-inĩ wa gwĩtĩkia kwao.
Remember your leaders who explained God's word to you. Look again at the results of their lives, and imitate their trust in God.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (aiōn g165)
9 Mũtikaheenagĩrĩrio nĩ mĩthemba yothe ya morutani mageni. Nĩ wega ngoro ciitũ ciĩkĩragwo hinya nĩ Wega wa Ngai, na ti na ũndũ wa kũrĩa irio cia magongona iria itagunaga arĩa macirĩĩaga.
Don't get distracted by different kinds of strange teachings. It's good for the mind to be convinced by grace, not by laws concerning what we eat. Those who followed such laws didn't gain anything.
10 Ithuĩ nĩ tũrĩ na kĩgongona kĩrĩa andũ arĩa matungataga kũu hema-inĩ ĩyo matarĩ na rũtha rwa kũrĩĩaga magongona marĩa marutagĩrwo ho.
We have an altar that those priests of the Tabernacle have no right to eat from.
11 Mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene akuuaga thakame ya nyamũ akamĩtwara Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno ĩtuĩke ya kũhoroheria mehia, no mĩĩrĩ ya nyamũ icio ĩcinagĩrwo nja ya itũũra.
The carcasses of the animals, whose blood is carried by the high priest into the most holy place as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.
12 Ũguo no taguo Jesũ aanyariirĩirwo nja ya kĩhingo gĩa itũũra inene, nĩgeetha andũ matheragio nĩ thakame yake.
In the same way Jesus also died outside the city gate so that he could make God's people holy through his own blood.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩtumagarei tũthiĩ kũrĩ we kũu nja ya itũũra, tũkuuanĩire nake gĩconoko kĩrĩa we aakuuire.
So let us go out to him, outside the camp, experiencing and sharing in his shame.
14 Nĩgũkorwo gũkũ tũtirĩ na itũũra inene rĩtagaathira, no tũcaragia itũũra inene rĩrĩa rĩgooka thuutha-inĩ.
For we don't have a permanent city to live in here, we're looking for the home that is still to come.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩtũthiĩ na mbere kũrutĩra Ngai igongona rĩa kũmũgooca nĩ ũndũ wa Jesũ tũtegũtigithĩria, na nĩrĩo itunda rĩa tũnua tũrĩa tuumbũraga rĩĩtwa rĩake.
So let us through Jesus always offer a sacrifice of praise to God—this means speaking well of God, declaring his character.
16 Na mũtikanariganĩrwo nĩ gwĩkaga wega, o na kũgayanaga kĩrĩa mũndũ arĩ nakĩo na andũ arĩa angĩ, nĩgũkorwo magongona ta macio nĩmo makenagia Ngai.
And don't forget to do what is good, and to share with others what you have, for God is pleased when you make such sacrifices.
17 Athĩkagĩrai atongoria anyu, na mwĩnyiihagĩrie wathani wao. Maikaraga meiguĩte nĩ ũndũ wa mĩoyo yanyu taarĩ o makoorio ũhoro wanyu. Maathĩkagĩrei nĩgeetha wĩra wao ũgatuĩka gĩkeno, no ti mũrigo, nĩgũkorwo ũndũ ũcio ndũngĩtuĩka wa kũmũguna.
Follow your leaders, and do what they tell you, for they are watching out for you and are accountable. Act in such a way that they can do this happily—and not with sadness, for that wouldn't help you!
18 Tũhooyagĩrei. Tũrĩ na ma atĩ thamiri ciitũ itirĩ na ũcuuke, na nĩtũkwenda gũtũũra na mĩikarĩre mĩega maũndũ-inĩ mothe.
Please pray for us. We're convinced we have acted in good conscience, always wanting to do what's good and right in every situation.
19 Nĩngũmũthaitha mũno mũhooyage nĩgeetha hotithio gũcooka kũrĩ inyuĩ o narua.
I really want you to pray hard so that I can come back to see you soon.
20 Nake Ngai mwene thayũ, ũrĩa wariũkirie Mwathani witũ Jesũ, ũrĩa Mũrĩithi ũrĩa mũnene wa ngʼondu, akĩmũruta kũrĩ arĩa akuũ na ũndũ wa thakame ya kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa gĩa tene na tene-rĩ, (aiōnios g166)
Now may the God of peace who raised our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, from the dead, with the blood of an eternal agreement— (aiōnios g166)
21 aromũhe kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩega gĩa kũmũhotithia gwĩka ũrĩa endaga, na aroeka thĩinĩ witũ maũndũ marĩa mamũkenagia thĩinĩ wa Jesũ Kristũ, nake arogoocagwo tene na tene. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
may he provide you with all that is good so you can do his will. May he work in us, doing everything that pleases him, through Jesus Christ—glory to him forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 Ndamũthaitha ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, mũkirĩrĩrie ciugo ciakwa cia kũmũtaara nĩgũkorwo ndamwandĩkĩra o marũa makuhĩ.
I want to encourage you, brothers and sisters, to pay attention to what I've written to you in this short letter.
23 Nĩngwenda mũmenye atĩ mũrũ wa Ithe witũ Timotheo nĩarekereirio. Nake angĩũka narua, nĩtũrĩũka nake kũmuona.
You should know that Timothy has been set free. If he gets here soon, I will come with him to see you.
24 Geithiai atongoria anyu othe na andũ othe, a Ngai. Andũ a kuuma Italia nĩmamũgeithia.
Give my greetings to all your leaders, and to all the believers there. The believers here in Italy send their greetings.
25 Wega wa Ngai ũrogĩa na inyuĩ inyuothe.
May God's grace be with all of you. Amen.
