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.
Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before 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 to Yeshua, the founder and completer of the faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has sat down at 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 consider him who has endured such hostility from sinners against himself, so that you may not become tired and give up.
4 Paske nan batay n'ap mennen kont peche a, nou poko goumen jan nou ta dwe jouk pou nou ta mouri.
You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your struggle 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 exhortation which reasons with you as with children, "My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose heart when you are corrected by him.
6 Paske Bondye peni moun li renmen. Se moun li rekonèt pou pitit li li bat.
For whom the Lord loves he disciplines, and punishes every son he accepts."
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?
If you are enduring discipline, God is dealing with you as children. For what child is there whom his father does not discipline?
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 are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
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.
Furthermore, we had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to 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.
For they indeed, for a few days, disciplined us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
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.
All discipline seems for the moment painful, not joyful; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.
12 Se poutèt sa, souke kò nou. Pa kite fatig antre sou nou.
Therefore, lift up the hands that 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 paths for your feet, so that which is lame may not be dislocated, 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.
Pursue peace with everyone, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord,
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 carefully lest there be anyone who falls short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by it many become 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.
that there be no sexually immoral or profane person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for one meal.
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 you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
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 have not come to something that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and darkness, gloom, 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.
the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should 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 could not stand that which was commanded, "If even an animal touches the mountain, 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 fearful was the appearance, that Mushe said, "I am terrified and trembling."
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 have come to Mount Tsehyun, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Urishlim, and to innumerable multitudes 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.
to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of righteous people 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.
to Yeshua, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Habeil.
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 do not refuse him who speaks. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns 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 shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens."
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.
This phrase, "Yet once more," signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
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.
So since we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us give thanks, through which we may offer service pleasing to God, with reverence and awe,
29 Paske Bondye nou an se tankou yon dife k'ap detwi tout bagay.
for our God is a consuming fire.
