Ebre 12
1 Konsa, nou la nan mitan foul moun sa yo ki te moutre jan yo te gen konfyans nan Bondye. Ann voye tout bagay k'ap antrave kous nou jete byen lwen, ansanm ak peche a ki fasil pou vlope nou. Ann kouri avèk pasyans nan chemen Bondye mete devan nou an.
And therefore we also having so great a cloud of witnesses over our head, laying aside every weight and sin which surrounds us, let us run by patience to the fight proposed to us:
2 Ann kenbe je nou kole sou Jezi. Se nan li konfyans nou soti, se li menm tou k'ap kenbe nou nan konfyans sa a jouk sa kaba. Li kite yo fè l' soufri sou kwa a. Li pa pran wont sa a pou anyen, paske li te toujou chonje apre l' te fin soufri a, Bondye t'ap fè kè l' kontan. Kifè koulye a li chita sou bò dwat fotèy Bondye a.
Looking on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who having joy set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and now sitteth on the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Egzaminen ka li byen. Gade tou sa li sibi nan men bann pechè sa yo ki pa t' vle wè l' menm. Konsa tou, pa kouri pou batay la. Pa dekouraje.
For think diligently upon him that endured such opposition from sinners against himself; that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds.
4 Paske nan batay n'ap mennen kont peche a, nou poko goumen jan nou ta dwe jouk pou nou ta mouri.
For you have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin:
5 Eske nou gen tan bliye pawòl Bondye te di pou ankouraje nou tankou pitit li? Pitit mwen, lè Bondye ap peni ou, pa pran sa an jwèt. Lè l'ap fè ou repwòch, pa dekouraje.
And you have forgotten the consolation, which speaketh to you, as unto children, saying: My son, neglect not the discipline of the Lord; neither be thou wearied whilst thou art rebuked by him.
6 Paske Bondye peni moun li renmen. Se moun li rekonèt pou pitit li li bat.
For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth; and he scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 Enben, sipòte soufrans sa yo tankou si se papa nou k'ap peni nou. Paske soufrans sa yo se prèv Bondye konsidere nou pou pitit li. Nou janm tande yon papa ki pa janm peni pitit li?
Persevere under discipline. God dealeth with you as with his sons; for what son is there, whom the father doth not correct?
8 Si Bondye pa peni nou tankou tout papa peni pitit yo, sa vle di nou pa pitit lejitim Bondye tout bon, nou se pitit deyò.
But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are made partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.
9 Chonje sa papa nou sou latè a konn fè. Yo peni nou. Malgre sa, nou toujou respekte yo. Nou pa bezwen mande jan nou dwe soumèt devan Papa nou ki nan syèl la, si nou bezwen viv.
Moreover we have had fathers of our flesh, for instructors, and we reverenced them: shall we not much more obey the Father of spirits, and live?
10 Papa nou sou latè a te konn peni nou pou yon ti tan, dapre sa yo te kwè ki te bon. Men, Bondye peni nou pou byen pa nou menm, pou nou ka rive viv menm jan l'ap viv la.
And they indeed for a few days, according to their own pleasure, instructed us: but he, for our profit, that we might receive his sanctification.
11 Lè y'ap peni nou, sa yon ti jan vle fè nou plis lapenn pase pou l' ta fè nou kontan. Men pita, moun ki soti byen elve apre tout penisyon sa yo, yo pral mennen yon lavi byen dwat ak kè poze.
Now all chastisement for the present indeed seemeth not to bring with it joy, but sorrow: but afterwards it will yield, to them that are exercised by it, the most peaceable fruit of justice.
12 Se poutèt sa, souke kò nou. Pa kite fatig antre sou nou.
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees,
13 Mache kote ki plat pou pye k'ap bwete a pa foule pi plis, okontrè pou l' ka geri.
And make straight steps with your feet: that no one, halting, may go out of the way; but rather be healed.
14 Chache viv ak kè poze ak tout moun. Mennen yon lavi apa pou Bondye. Si se pa sa, pa gen moun k'ap wè Seyè a.
Follow peace with all men, and holiness: without which no man shall see God.
15 Pa kite pesonn vire do bay favè Bondye a. Pa kite pesonn tounen tankou yon plant anmè k'ap pouse rasin k'ap anpwazonnen lòt yo.
Looking diligently, lest any man be wanting to the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up do hinder, and by it many be defiled.
16 Pa kite pesonn tonbe nan move vis, ni pèdi respè yo dwe genyen pou bagay ki fèt pou respekte, tankou Ezaou ki te vann dwa li kòm premye pitit pou yon plat manje.
Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau; who for one mess, sold his first birthright.
17 Nou konnen ki jan pita, lè li te vle resevwa benediksyon papa li, yo te mete l' sou kote. Malgre tout kriye li te kriye bay papa a, pa t' gen mwayen chanje sa ki te fin fèt la.
For know ye that afterwards, when he desired to inherit the benediction, he was rejected; for he found no place of repentance, although with tears he had sought it.
18 Nou pa t' pwoche bò kot yon bagay nou ka manyen tankou pèp Izrayèl la ki te pwoche bò kot Mòn Sinayi a. Sou mòn sa a te gen yon gwo dife ansanm ak yon fènwa ki pa t' piti, te gen yon bann bagay tou pou fè moun pè. Yon gwo van tanpèt t'ap soufle sou mòn lan.
For you are not come to a mountain that might be touched, and a burning fire, and a whirlwind, and darkness, and storm,
19 Yo te tande son klewon k'ap kònen, ansanm ak vwa yon moun k'ap pale. Lè pitit Izrayèl yo tande vwa sa a, yo mande l' sispann pale.
And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which they that heard excused themselves, that the word might not be spoken to them:
20 Yo pa t' kapab sipòte lòd li te ba yo lè li te di: Menm si se yon bèt ki mete pye l' sou mòn sa a, se pou yo touye l' ak kout wòch.
For they did not endure that which was said: And if so much as a beast shall touch the mount, it shall be stoned.
21 Moyiz menm, sa l' te wè devan je l' yo se te bagay terib. Se poutèt sa li te di: M'ap tranble kou fèy bwa tèlman mwen pè.
And so terrible was that which was seen, Moses said: I am frighted, and tremble.
22 Okontrè, nou pwoche bò kot Mòn Siyon an, bò kot lavil Bondye vivan an, ki vle di: Jerizalèm ki nan syèl la ansanm ak tout kantite zanj li yo.
But you are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the company of many thousands of angels,
23 Nou pwoche kote tout premye pitit Bondye yo sanble ak kè kontan, yo menm ki gen non yo ekri nan Liv ki nan syèl la. Nou pwoche bò kot Bondye ki gen pou jije tout moun lan, kote lespri moun ki fin bon nèt yo ye a.
And to the church of the firstborn, who are written in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the just made perfect,
24 Nou pwoche bò kot Jezikri, moun ki ranje nouvo kontra a, bò kote san ki koule a, yon san ki pale nou pi byen pase san Abèl la.
And to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood which speaketh better than that of Abel.
25 Veye kò nou! Pa refize koute pawòl moun k'ap pale ak nou an. Moun ki te refize koute pawòl moun ki t'ap ba yo avètisman Bondye sou latè a, yo pa t' chape anba chatiman an. Nou pa bezwen mande si nou menm nou ka delivre si nou vire do bay moun k'ap pale ak nou antan l' nan syèl la.
See that you refuse him not that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke upon the earth, much more shall not we, that turn away from him that speaketh to us from heaven.
26 Nan tan lontan, lè Bondye te pale, tè a te tranble. Men, koulye a, li fè nou pwomès sa a: Yon lòt fwa, se pa latè a ase m'ap fè tranble. M'ap fè syèl la tranble tou.
Whose voice then moved the earth; but now he promiseth, saying: Yet once more, and I will move not only the earth, but heaven also.
27 Lè li di yon lòt fwa li fè nou konprann lè sa a se tout bagay Bondye te kreye yo ki pral pran tranble. Yo pral disparèt. Konsa se bagay ki byen fèm yo k'ap rete.
And in that he saith, Yet once more, he signifieth the translation of the moveable things as made, that those things may remain which are immoveable.
28 Peyi wa nou resevwa pou eritaj la pa ka brannen. Se pou nou di mèsi pou sa. Ann fè wè nou pa bliye sa li fè pou nou. Ann sèvi Bondye yon jan ki pou fè l' plezi, avèk respè, avèk krentif.
Therefore receiving an immoveable kingdom, we have grace; whereby let us serve, pleasing God, with fear and reverence.
29 Paske Bondye nou an se tankou yon dife k'ap detwi tout bagay.
For our God is a consuming fire.
