< Abhaebrania 13 >
1 Mbe elyenda lya bhaili ligendelele.
Let your love for the Brethren continue.
2 Mutalabhilwa okubhakuma abhwgenyi, kulwokubha kwokukola kutyo, abhandi bhakumile bhamalaika bila kumenya.
Do not neglect to show hospitality; for, through being hospitable, men have all unawares entertained angels.
3 Ichuka bhona bhanu bhali mwibhoelo, kuti mubhoelwe nabho amwi, kuti mibhili jemwe jikolelwe lwabhene.
Remember the prisoners, as if you were their fellow-prisoners, and the oppressed, not forgetting that you also are still in the body.
4 Mbe obhutwasi bhutagalwa galwa nabhanu bhona nobhulili bhwo bhutwasi bhukolwe okubha bhwakisi, kulwokubha Nyamuanga alibhalamula abhasiyani na bhalomesi.
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 Mbe jinjila jemwe jobhulame bhwemwe jibhe bhwelu jitaja kwenda mpilya. Mubhe bhanu bhanu omwiwa na bhinu mulinabhyo, kulwokubha Nyamuanga omwenela aikile ati,”Ntakubhasiga emwe nakatyali, nolo kubhasiga emwe”
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 Mbe chiwega koleleki chaike kwa libhasi, “Latabhugenyi ni musakisi wani; Ntakubhaya. Mwana munu kankolelaki?”
Therefore we may say with confidence — ‘The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?’
7 Mubheganilishe bhanu abhabhatangasha, bhanu bhalomele emisango ja Nyamuanga kwimwe, na mwichuke jinu mwabhwene ingulu yo kulibhata kwebhwe; mulubhe elikisha lyebhwe.
Do not forget your Leaders, the men who told you God’s Message. Recall the close of their lives, and imitate their faith.
8 Yesu Kristo nimwene ligolo, lelo, na kajanende (aiōn )
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day — yes, and for ever! (aiōn )
9 Utajakwiya nutatangasibhwa nameigisho gabhuli mbaga agechigenyi kulwokubha nijakisi omwoyo gumbakwe kwe chigongo, naingulu ye bhilyo ago gatabhasakila bhanu bhalamile kwago.
Do not let yourselves be carried away by the various novel forms of teaching. It is better to rely for spiritual strength upon the divine help, than upon regulations regarding food; for those whose lives are guided by such regulations have not found them of service.
10 Chinayo owokutambila anu bhanu abhakolejo mwiyekalu bhatana bhulengelesi bhwa kulya.
We are not without an altar; but it is one at which those who still worship in the Tabernacle have no right to eat.
11 Kulwokubha ebhyamba bhyebhitunganwa, bhyasosibhwe bhiyanwa ingulu ye bhibhibhi, yaletelwe no mugabhisi mukulu munda yo lubhaju lwelu, nawe emibhili jebhwe jochibhwaga anja ya makambi.
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 Kulwejo Yesu ona anyankile anja lilango lyo musi, koleleki abhone okubhata abhanu ku Nyamuanga okulabhila amanyinga gae.
And so Jesus, also, to purify the People by his own blood, suffered outside the gate.
13 Na kulwejo chije kumwene anja ya inkambi, chitwikile obhujubhe bhwae.
Therefore let us go out to him ‘outside the camp,’ bearing the same reproaches as he;
14 Kulwokubha chitana bhwikalo bhunyantawao mumusi gunu. Nawe chiyenje omusi gunu oguja.
for here we have no permanent city, but are looking for the City that is to be.
15 Okulabhila Yesu jibheile mwanya mwamfu okwisosha bhiyanwa bhyo kumukusha Nyamuanga, okumukuya ati litwasho lye minwa jeswe likilishe lisina lyae.
Through him let us offer, as our sacrifice, continual praise to God — an offering from lips that glorify his Name.
16 Na utalabhilwa okukola ejakisi nokusakilana emwe kwe mwe, kulwokubha kwe bhiyanwa lwe bhyo Nyamuanga kakondelelwa muno.
Never forget to do kindly acts and to share what you have with others, for such sacrifices are acceptable to God.
17 Mwikilishega no kwikeya kubhatangasha bhemwe, kulwokubha abhagendelela okubhalinda ingulu ye mioyo jemwe, lwabhanu bhalisosha olubhala. Mwikilishega koleleki abhatangasha bhemwe bhabhone okubhabhika kwobhukondelewe, na tali kwo kujubha, inu itabhasakila.
Obey your Leaders, and submit to their control, for they are watching over your souls, as men who 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 Chisabhwe, kulwokubha chili no bhwiikanyo bhwa kisi, echisigombela okulama obhulame bhwe chibhalo mumisango jona.
Pray for us, for we are sure that our consciences are clear, since our wish is to be occupied with what is good.
19 Nabhona enibhayana omwoyo mukole kutyo, koleleki nitule okusubha kwimwe omwanya gutali mulela.
And I the more earnestly ask for your prayers, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 Woli Nyamuanga wo mulembe, unu abhaletele lindi okusoka mubhafuye omulefi omukulu wa jinyabhalega, Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu, kwa manyinga ga lilagano lya kajanende, (aiōnios )
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 )
21 Kabhayana obhutulo bhuli egambo lyakisi okukola elyenda lyae, nakola emilimu munda yeswe inu iliyakisi eyokukondelesha mumeso gae, okulabhila Yesu Kristo, kumwene libhe ekusho kajanende na kajanende. Amina (aiōn )
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 )
22 Woli enikuyana omwoyo wikomeshe, muili, okugegelana no musango nokutulwamo omwoyo linu kwe chifuyi nabhandikiye emwe.
I beg you, Brothers, to bear with these words of advice. For I have written only very briefly to you.
23 Mumenye ati omuili weswe Timotheo bhamutesuliye, unu amwi nage nilibhalola labha akaja mwanya mufuyi.
You will be glad to hear that our Brother, Timothy, has been set free. If he comes here soon, we will visit you together.
24 Kesha abhatangasha bhao bhona na bhekilisha bhona. Bhanu abhasoka Italia abhakukesha.
Give our greeting to all your Leaders, and to all Christ’s People. Our friends from Italy send their greetings to you.
25 Ne chigongo chibhe nemwe bhona.
May God bless you all.
