Ebre 13
1 Kite lanmou pou frè yo kontinye.
Let your love for the Lord’s followers continue.
2 Pa neglije byen resevwa etranje yo, paske pa fason sa a, kèk nan nou bay lojman menm a zanj, san nou pa konnen.
Do not neglect to show hospitality; for, through being hospitable, people have all unawares entertained angels.
3 Sonje prizonye yo, kòmsi nou ta nan prizon avèk yo, e sila ki maltrete yo, akoz ke nou menm, nou osi nan kò a.
Remember the prisoners, as if you were their fellow prisoners, and the oppressed, not forgetting that you also are still in the body.
4 Maryaj dwe kenbe ak gwo respè pami tout moun, e kabann maryaj la dwe rete san souye; paske Bondye ap jije fònikatè ak adiltè yo.
Let marriage be honoured by all and the married life be pure; for God will judge those who are immoral and those who commit adultery.
5 Fè si ke karaktè nou lib de lanmou lajan, e nou rete kontan avèk sa ke nou genyen, paske Li menm te di: “Mwen p ap janm kite nou, ni abandone nou,”
Do not let your conduct be ruled by the love of money. Be content with what you have, for God himself has said – “I will never forsake you, nor will I ever abandon you.”
6 pou nou di avèk konfyans: “Senyè a se soutyen mwen. Mwen p ap pè. Sa lòm ka fè m?”
Therefore we may say with confidence – “The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can mere people do to me?”
7 Sonje sila ki te dirije nou yo, ki te pale pawòl Bondye ak nou. Konsidere rezilta a zèv pa yo, e imite lafwa yo.
Do not forget your leaders, who told you God’s message. Recall the close of their lives, and imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today – yes, and for ever! (aiōn g165)
9 Pa vin pote ale pa doktrin varye e dwòl, paske li bon pou kè a ranfòse pa lagras, men pa ak kalite manje ki pa t bay benefis a sila ki te swiv yo.
Do not let yourselves be carried away by the various novel forms of teaching. It is better to rely for spiritual strength on the divine help, than on regulations regarding food; for those whose lives are guided by such regulations have not found them of service.
10 Nou gen yon lotèl kote sila ki fè sèvis nan tabènak yo pa gen dwa manje.
We are not without an altar; but it is one at which those who still worship in the tent have no right to eat.
11 Paske kò a bèt sila yo ki gen san yo, ke Wo Prèt la pote nan lye sen an kòm yon ofrann pou peche yo, dwe brile deyò kan an.
The bodies of those animals whose blood is brought by the high priest into the sanctuary, as an offering for sin, are burnt outside the camp.
12 Menm jan an, Jésus osi, pou Li te kapab sanktifye pèp la ak pwòp san Li, te soufri deyò pòtay la.
And so Jesus, also, to purify the people by his own blood, suffered outside the gate.
13 Donk, annou ale jwenn Li deyò kan an pou pote repwòch Li yo.
Therefore let us go out to him “outside the camp,” bearing the same reproaches as he;
14 Paske isit la, nou pa gen yon vil k ap dire, men n ap chache vil ki gen pou vini an.
for here we have no permanent city, but are looking for the city that is to be.
15 Alò, atravè Li menm, annou ofri yon sakrifis lwanj pou Bondye san rete, ki se fwi a lèv ki bay remèsiman a non Li yo.
Through him let us offer, as our sacrifice, continual praise to God – an offering from lips that glorify his name.
16 Epi pa neglije fè sa ki bon e pataje youn avèk lòt. Paske nan sakrifis konsa yo, Bondye pran plezi.
Never forget to do kindly acts and to share what you have with others, for such sacrifices are acceptable to God.
17 Obeyi lidè nou yo e soumèt nou a yo. Paske yo kontinye ap gade sou nanm nou, kòm sila ki oblije rann kont. Kite yo fè sa avèk jwa, olye chagren, paske sa pa t ap gen pwofi pou nou.
Obey your leaders, and submit to their control, for they are watching over your souls, since they will have to render an account, so that they may do it with joy, and not in sorrow. That would not be to your advantage.
18 Priye pou nou, paske nou asire ke nou gen yon bon konsyans, nan dezire kondwi tèt nou avèk lonè nan tout bagay.
Pray for us, for we are sure that our consciences are clear, since our wish is to be occupied with what is good.
19 Mwen ankouraje nou menm plis pou fè sa pou mwen kapab vin restore a nou menm pi vit menm.
And I the more earnestly ask for your prayers, so that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 Koulye a, ke Bondye lapè a, ki te fè leve nan lanmò a gran Pastè a brebi yo pa san akò etènèl la, menm Jésus, Senyè nou an, (aiōnios g166)
May God, the source of all peace, who brought back from the dead him who, “by virtue of the blood that rendered valid the unchangeable covenant, is the great shepherd of God’s Sheep,” Jesus, our Lord – (aiōnios g166)
21 ekipe nou nan tout bon zèv, pou fè volonte Li, nan travay nan nou sa k ap fè plezi devan zye Li, nan Jésus Kri, a Li menm, laglwa pou tout tan e pou tout tan. Amen. (aiōn g165)
may God make you perfect in everything that is good, so that you may be able to do his will. May he bring out in us all that is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be all glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 Men mwen ankouraje nou frè m yo, pou sipòte pawòl egzòtasyon sila a, paske mwen ekri nou brèvman.
I beg you, friends, to bear with these words of advice. For I have written only very briefly to you.
23 Byen aprann ke frè nou Timothée lage, e mwen va wè nou avèk li menm, si li vini vit.
You will be glad to hear that our friend, Timothy, has been set free. If he comes here soon, we will visit you together.
24 Salye tout lidè nou yo ak tout sen yo. Sila an Italie yo salye nou.
Give our greeting to all your leaders, and to all Christ’s people. Our friends from Italy send their greetings to you.
25 Ke lagras rete avèk nou tout.
May God bless you all.
