Ahibirania 13
1 Ikaragai mwendaine ta ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ.
Let your love for the Lord’s followers continue.
2 Mũtikanariganĩrwo nĩgũtuga ageni, nĩ ũndũ andũ amwe tondũ wa gwĩka ũguo maananyiita araika ũgeni matekũmenya.
Do not neglect to show hospitality; for, through being hospitable, people have all unawares entertained angels.
3 Ririkanagai andũ arĩa mohetwo o ta muohetwo hamwe nao, o na mũririkanage arĩa marathĩĩnio taarĩ inyuĩ ene mũranyamario.
Remember the prisoners, as if you were their fellow prisoners, and the oppressed, not forgetting that you also are still in the body.
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.
Let marriage be honoured by all and the married life be pure; for God will judge those who are immoral and those who commit adultery.
5 Ikaragai mũtegũkorokera mbeeca, na mũiganagwo nĩ kĩrĩa mũrĩ nakĩo, tondũ Ngai oigĩte atĩrĩ, “Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaagũtiganĩria; na ndigagũtirika o narĩ.”
Do not let your conduct be ruled by the love of money. Be content with what you have, for God himself has said – “I will never forsake you, nor will I ever abandon you.”
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio no tuuge tũũmĩrĩirie atĩrĩ, “Mwathani nĩwe mũndeithia; ndingĩĩtigĩra. Mũndũ-rĩ, nĩ atĩa angĩhota kũnjĩka?”
Therefore we may say with confidence – “The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can mere people 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.
Do not forget your leaders, who told you God’s message. Recall the close of their lives, and imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today – yes, and for ever! (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.
Do not let yourselves be carried away by the various novel forms of teaching. It is better to rely for spiritual strength on the divine help, than on regulations regarding food; for those whose lives are guided by such regulations have not found them of service.
10 Ithuĩ nĩ tũrĩ na kĩgongona kĩrĩa andũ arĩa matungataga kũu hema-inĩ ĩyo matarĩ na rũtha rwa kũrĩĩaga magongona marĩa marutagĩrwo ho.
We are not without an altar; but it is one at which those who still worship in the tent have no right to eat.
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 bodies of those animals whose blood is brought by the high priest into the sanctuary, as an offering for sin, are burnt outside the camp.
12 Ũguo no taguo Jesũ aanyariirĩirwo nja ya kĩhingo gĩa itũũra inene, nĩgeetha andũ matheragio nĩ thakame yake.
And so Jesus, also, to purify the people by his own blood, suffered outside the gate.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩtumagarei tũthiĩ kũrĩ we kũu nja ya itũũra, tũkuuanĩire nake gĩconoko kĩrĩa we aakuuire.
Therefore let us go out to him “outside the camp,” bearing the same reproaches as he;
14 Nĩgũkorwo gũkũ tũtirĩ na itũũra inene rĩtagaathira, no tũcaragia itũũra inene rĩrĩa rĩgooka thuutha-inĩ.
for here we have no permanent city, but are looking for the city that is to be.
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.
Through him let us offer, as our sacrifice, continual praise to God – an offering from lips that glorify his name.
16 Na mũtikanariganĩrwo nĩ gwĩkaga wega, o na kũgayanaga kĩrĩa mũndũ arĩ nakĩo na andũ arĩa angĩ, nĩgũkorwo magongona ta macio nĩmo makenagia Ngai.
Never forget to do kindly acts and to share what you have with others, for such sacrifices are acceptable to God.
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.
Obey your leaders, and submit to their control, for they are watching over your souls, since they will have to render an account, so that they may do it with joy, and not in sorrow. That would not be to your advantage.
18 Tũhooyagĩrei. Tũrĩ na ma atĩ thamiri ciitũ itirĩ na ũcuuke, na nĩtũkwenda gũtũũra na mĩikarĩre mĩega maũndũ-inĩ mothe.
Pray for us, for we are sure that our consciences are clear, since our wish is to be occupied with what is good.
19 Nĩngũmũthaitha mũno mũhooyage nĩgeetha hotithio gũcooka kũrĩ inyuĩ o narua.
And I the more earnestly ask for your prayers, so that I may be restored to you the sooner.
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)
May God, the source of all peace, who brought back from the dead him who, “by virtue of the blood that rendered valid the unchangeable covenant, is the great shepherd of God’s Sheep,” Jesus, our Lord – (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 God make you perfect in everything that is good, so that you may be able to do his will. May he bring out in us all that is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be all glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 Ndamũthaitha ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, mũkirĩrĩrie ciugo ciakwa cia kũmũtaara nĩgũkorwo ndamwandĩkĩra o marũa makuhĩ.
I beg you, friends, to bear with these words of advice. For I have written only very briefly to you.
23 Nĩngwenda mũmenye atĩ mũrũ wa Ithe witũ Timotheo nĩarekereirio. Nake angĩũka narua, nĩtũrĩũka nake kũmuona.
You will be glad to hear that our friend, Timothy, has been set free. If he comes here soon, we will visit you together.
24 Geithiai atongoria anyu othe na andũ othe, a Ngai. Andũ a kuuma Italia nĩmamũgeithia.
Give our greeting to all your leaders, and to all Christ’s people. Our friends from Italy send their greetings to you.
25 Wega wa Ngai ũrogĩa na inyuĩ inyuothe.
May God bless you all.
