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,
Therefore let’s 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’s run with perseverance 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 to Yeshua, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat 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 who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.
4 Nou poko reziste jis rive pou rann san nan lit nou kont peche.
You have not yet resisted to 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;
You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
6 Paske sila ke Bondye renmen yo, Li disipline yo, e Li fwete tout fis ke L resevwa.”
for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
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?
It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?
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 you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
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 had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to 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 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 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.
All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
12 Konsa ranfòse men ki manke fòs ak jenou ki fèb yo,
Therefore lift up the hands that 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, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
14 Chèche lapè avèk tout moun, avèk sanktifikasyon. San sa a, pèsòn p ap wè Senyè a.
Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will 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 carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,
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 sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
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 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 Paske nou pa t vin kote yon mòn ki kapab touche e ki t ap flanbe, ni a tenèb, fènwa, ak tanpèt
For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burnt with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,
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.
the sound of a shofar, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,
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 stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.
21 Vizyon sila a te si tèlman tèrib ke Moïse te di: “Mwen plen lakrent ak tranbleman”.
So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
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 you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes 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 festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, 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.
to Yeshua, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better 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 you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t 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 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 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 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.
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 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.
Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
29 Paske Bondye nou an se yon dife k ap devore.
for our God is a consuming fire.
