< Ebre 13 >
1 Se pou nou toujou yonn renmen lòt tankou frè k'ap viv ansanm nan Kris la.
Let the charity of the brotherhood abide in you.
2 Chonje se devwa nou pou nou byen resevwa moun ki vin lakay nou. Se konsa, gen moun ki resevwa zanj Bondye lakay yo san yo pa konn sa.
And hospitality do not forget; for by this some, being not aware of it, have entertained angels.
3 Pa bliye moun ki nan prizon yo, tankou si nou menm tou nou te nan prizon ansanm ak yo. Pa bliye moun y'ap maltrete yo, paske nou menm tou nou gen yon kò.
Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them; and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body.
4 Maryaj se yon bagay tout moun dwe respekte anpil. Moun ki marye yo dwe rete fidèl yonn ak lòt. Bondye gen pou jije moun k'ap mennen movèz vi yo ansanm ak moun k'ap fè adiltè yo.
Marriage honourable in all, and the bed undefiled. For fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
5 Pa kite renmen lajan pran nanm nou. Se pou nou kontan ak sa nou genyen. Paske Bondye te di: Mwen p'ap janm vire do ba ou, mwen p'ap janm lage ou.
Let your manners be without covetousness, contented with such things as you have; for he hath said: I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.
6 Konsa, nou kapab di avèk konfyans: Se Bondye k'ap vin ede mwen. Mwen pa pè anyen. Kisa moun ka fè mwen?
So that we may confidently say: The Lord is my helper: I will not fear what man shall do to me.
7 Pa bliye moun ki te konn dirije nou yo, moun ki te fè nou konnen pawòl Bondye a. Egzaminen jan yo te viv, jan yo te mouri. Pran egzanp sou konfyans yo.
Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you; whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation,
8 Jezikri se menm moun lan ayè, jòdi a ak pou tout tan. (aiōn )
Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today; and the same for ever. (aiōn )
9 Pa kite tout kalite lòt pawòl moun ap moutre yo fè nou pèdi bon chemen an. Li pi bon pou kè nou lè fòs nou pa soti nan sa nou manje ak sa nou pa manje, men nan renmen Bondye gen pou nou an. Paske moun k'ap gade sou manje pa janm jwenn okenn benefis.
Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats; which have not profited those that walk in them.
10 Nou gen yon lotèl ki pa nou. Prèt k'ap sèvi nan tanp jwif yo pa gen dwa manje nan vyann ofrann bèt nou fè sou lotèl sa a.
We have an altar, whereof they have no power to eat who serve the tabernacle.
11 Lè y'ap fè ofrann bèt pou touye pou peche yo, se san an ase granprèt jwif la pote pou ofri nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a. Men, yo boule kò bèt yo lòt bò pòtay lakou kote moun yo rete a.
For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holies by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 Se poutèt sa, Jezi te mouri lòt bò pòtay lavil la, pou l' te ka mete pèp la nan kondisyon pou yo fè sèvis Bondye ak pwòp san pa li ki te koule.
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Nou menm tou, ann soti al jwenn li lòt bò pòtay lakou a pou n' soufri menm wont la ansanm ak li.
Let us go forth therefore to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 Paske nou pa gen sou latè yon lavil ki la pou tout tan. N'ap chache lavil ki gen pou vini an.
For we have not here a lasting city, but we seek one that is to come.
15 Gremesi Jezikri, sèl ofrann san n'ap ofri bay Bondye a, se lwanj n'ap ba li tout tan. Se tout tan pou non l' nan bouch nou.
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name.
16 Pa bliye, se pou nou fè sa ki byen, se pou nou yonn ede lòt. Se ofrann konsa ki fè Bondye plezi.
And do not forget to do good, and to impart; for by such sacrifices God’s favour is obtained.
17 Obeyi chèf nou yo, soumèt devan yo. Se tout tan y'ap veye sou nanm nou paske yo gen pou yo rann Bondye kont pou travay yo. Si nou obeyi yo, y'a fè travay yo ak kè kontan. Men, si nou pa obeyi yo, y'a fè l' ak kè sere. Lè sa a, p'ap gen okenn avantaj pou nou.
Obey your prelates, and be subject to them. For they watch as being to render an account of your souls; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief. For this is not expedient for you.
18 Pa sispann lapriyè pou mwen. Mwen sèten mwen gen konsyans mwen anpè. Paske mwen vle fè sa ki byen nan tout sikonstans.
Pray for us. For we trust we have a good conscience, being willing to behave ourselves well in all things.
19 M'ap mande nou pou nou lapriyè toutespre pou Bondye ban m' okazyon tounen vin jwenn nou anvan lontan.
And I beseech you the more to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 Men sa m'ap mande Bondye pou nou, li menm ki te fè Jezi, Gran Gadò mouton yo, leve soti vivan pami mò yo. Jezi se Seyè nou an ki te mouri pou l' te ka siyen kontra ki la pou tout tan an ak san li. (aiōnios )
And may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great pastor of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the blood of the everlasting testament, (aiōnios )
21 M'ap mande Bondye ki bay kè poze a pou l' fè nou favè sa a, pou nou fè tou sa ki byen, pou n' kapab fè volonte li. M'ap mande l' tou pou l' fè travay ki fè l' plezi nan nou, gremesi Jezikri. Tout lwanj lan pou Jezikri pou tout tan tout tan. Amèn. (aiōn )
Fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
22 Tanpri, frè m' yo, m'ap mande nou pou nou koute pawòl ankourajman sa yo ak pasyans, paske sa m' di nan lèt mwen ekri nou an pa long.
And I beseech you, brethren, that you suffer this word of consolation. For I have written to you in a few words.
23 Mwen vle fè nou konnen yo gen tan lage Timote, frè nou an. Si li rive bònè, m'a pran l' avè m' lè m'ap vin wè nou.
Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty: with whom (if he come shortly) I will see you.
24 Di tout moun k'ap dirije nou yo bonjou ansanm ak tout pèp Bondye a. Tout frè ki nan peyi Itali yo voye bonjou pou nou tout.
Salute all your prelates, and all the saints. The brethren from Italy salute you.
25 benediksyon Bondye avèk nou tout. Amèn.
Grace be with you all. Amen.
