Ebre 12
1 Konsa, akoz ke nou gen yon si tèlman gran nwaj temwen ki antoure nou, annou osi mete sou kote tout anpèchman ak peche ki trè fasil vin vlope nou, e annou kouri avèk andirans kous la ki mete devan nou an,
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 ak zye nou byen fikse sou Jésus fondatè e nonm pafè lafwa a, ki pou lajwa ki te mete devan Li an, te sipòte lakwa a, te meprize wont lan, e te vin chita sou men dwat twòn Bondye a.
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Paske konsidere Li menm ki te andire tèl opozisyon pa pechè yo kont Li menm, pou nou menm pa t ap vin fatige e dekouraje.
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Nou poko reziste jis rive pou rann san nan lit nou kont peche.
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5 Nou gen tan bliye egzòtasyon ki te adrese a nou menm kòm fis yo: “Fis mwen, pa gade a la lejè disiplin Bondye a, ni vin febli lè nou korije pa Li;
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
6 Paske sila ke Bondye renmen yo, Li disipline yo, e Li fwete tout fis ke L resevwa.”
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 Se pou disiplin ke nou andire. Bondye aji avèk nou kòm fis, paske ki fis ki genyen ke papa l pa ba l disiplin?
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 Men si nou san disiplin kon sila nou tout gen tan patisipe a, alò, nou se pitit ilejitim, e pa vrè fis.
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Anplis ke sa, nou te gen papa sou latè pou disipline nou, e nou te respekte yo. Èske nou pa ta bokou pito vin soumèt a Papa a tout lespri yo, e viv?
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 Paske yo te disipline nou pou yon ti tan ki, selon yo, te sanble pi bon, men Li menm, Li disipline nou pou byen nou pou nou kapab pataje sentete Li a.
For they verily for a few days chastened [us] after their own pleasure; but he for [our] profit, that [we] might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Tout disiplin, nan moman an, sanble pa bay lajwa, men tristès. Malgre a sila ki fin antrene pa li yo, li vin bay fwi lapè ladwati a.
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
12 Konsa ranfòse men ki manke fòs ak jenou ki fèb yo,
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 epi fè chemen pye nou dwat, jis pou manm kò ki mal ranje a pa vin dejwente nèt, men pito vin geri.
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14 Chèche lapè avèk tout moun, avèk sanktifikasyon. San sa a, pèsòn p ap wè Senyè a.
Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Fè si ke pèsòn pa manke rive nan gras Bondye a; pou okenn rasin anmè pa vin monte pou fè twoub, e pa li menm, anpil moun ta vin konwonpi.
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby many be defiled;
16 Pa kite nou gen okenn moun imoral oubyen san Bondye tankou Esaü ki te vann pwòp dwa eritaj li a pou yon sèl repa manje.
Lest there [be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
17 Paske nou konnen ke menm apre sa, lè li te dezire vin eritye yon benediksyon, li te rejte, paske li pa t twouve yon plas pou repantans, malgre li te chache sa ak dlo nan zye.
For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
18 Paske nou pa t vin kote yon mòn ki kapab touche e ki t ap flanbe, ni a tenèb, fènwa, ak tanpèt
For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 ni a gwo kout twonpèt ak son pawòl ki sone tankou sila ki te tande l t ap mande sekou a, pou okenn pawòl pa t pale a yo menm ankò.
And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which [voice] they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 Paske yo pa t kapab sipòte dekrè lan: “Menm si yon bèt touche mòn nan, li va lapide ak kout wòch.”
(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 Vizyon sila a te si tèlman tèrib ke Moïse te di: “Mwen plen lakrent ak tranbleman”.
And so terrible was the sight, [that] Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake: )
22 Men nou menm, nou te vini sou Mòn Sion ak vil a Bondye vivan an, Jérusalem selès la, e avèk kantite zanj ki pa t kab menm kontwole,
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 anvè gran asanble a, ak legliz premye ne yo ki anrejistre nan syèl la, anvè Bondye, jij a tout moun nan, e anvè lespri a moun ladwati ki te fèt pafè yo,
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 epi anvè Jésus medyatè yon akò tounèf la, e anvè san vèse a, ki pale pi klè pase san Abel la.
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than [that of] Abel.
25 Fè si ke nou pa refize Sila k ap pale a. Paske si sa yo pa t chape lè yo te refize li menm ki te avèti yo sou latè a, konbyen mwens nou va chape nou menm ki vire kite Sila ki avèti nou depi nan syèl la.
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven:
26 Epi vwa Li te souke tè a nan moman an, men koulye a, Li fè yon pwomès, e Li di: “Malgre sa, yon fwa ankò Mwen va souke, non sèlman tè a, men osi syèl la.”
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 Ekspresyon sa a: “Malgre yon fwa ankò”, fè nou konprann ke tout bagay ki te kreye, ki kapab souke va retire, pou bagay sila ki pa kapab souke yo, kapab vin rete.
And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Konsa, akoz ke nou resevwa yon wayòm ki pa kapab souke, annou montre rekonesans, pa sila nou kapab ofri a Bondye yon sèvis akseptab, avèk reverans ak lakrent.
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 Paske Bondye nou an se yon dife k ap devore.
For our God [is] a consuming fire.
