< Ebre 13 >
1 Se pou nou toujou yonn renmen lòt tankou frè k'ap viv ansanm nan Kris la.
Let brotherly love remain.
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.
Do not be forgetful of hospitality, for through this some entertained messengers unaware.
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.
Be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as yourselves also being 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.
The marriage [is to be] honored by all, and the bed undefiled, for God will judge whoremongers and adulterers.
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.
[Be] without covetous behavior, being content with the things present, for He has said, “No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake you,”
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 boldly say, “The LORD [is] to me a helper, and I will not fear what man will 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.
Be mindful of those leading you, who spoke to you the word of God, who, considering the outcome of [their] behavior, imitate [their] faith:
8 Jezikri se menm moun lan ayè, jòdi a ak pou tout tan. (aiōn )
Jesus Christ—the same yesterday and today and for all ages. (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.
Do not be carried away with strange and manifold teachings, for [it is] good that by grace the heart is confirmed, not with meats, in which they who were occupied were not profited;
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 from which they who are serving the Dwelling Place have no authority to eat,
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 of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places through the chief priest—of these the bodies are burned outside 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.
For this reason, also Jesus—that He might sanctify the people through [His] own blood—suffered outside 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.
now then, may we go forth to Him outside 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 no abiding city here, but we seek the coming one.
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.
Through Him, then, we may always offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks 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 be forgetful of doing good and of fellowship, for God is well-pleased with such sacrifices.
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.
Be obedient to those leading you, and be subject, for these watch for your souls, as about to give account, that they may do this with joy, and not sighing, for this [is] unprofitable to 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 that we have a good conscience, willing to behave 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 call on [you] to do this more abundantly, that I may be restored to you more quickly.
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 the God of peace, who brought up the Great Shepherd of the sheep out of the dead—by the blood of a perpetual covenant—our Lord Jesus, (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 )
make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom [is] the glory through the ages of the ages! 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 beg you, brothers, endure the word of the exhortation, for I have also written to you through 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 that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom I will see you, if he may come more shortly.
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.
Greet all those leading you, and all the holy ones. Those from Italy greet you.
25 benediksyon Bondye avèk nou tout. Amèn.
The grace [is] with you all! Amen.
