Ba-Ebre 13
1 Tika ete bondeko ewumela kati na bino!
Let the charity of the brotherhood abide in you.
2 Bolemba te koyambaka malamu bapaya, pamba te, na nzela wana, bato mosusu bayambaki ba-anjelu wana bayebaki te ete bazali solo ba-anjelu.
And hospitality do not forget; for by this some, being not aware of it, have entertained angels.
3 Bokanisaka bato oyo bazali kati na boloko lokola nde bino mpe bozali kati na boloko elongo na bango. Bokanisaka bato oyo bazali komona pasi, mpo ete bino mpe bozali na nzoto oyo emonaka pasi.
Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them; and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body.
4 Tika ete moto nyonso apesa libala lokumu, mpe mbeto ya libala ezala peto, pamba te Nzambe akosambisa bato na pite mpe bato na bikobo.
Marriage honourable in all, and the bed undefiled. For fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
5 Bozalaka na lokoso ya mbongo te, bosepelaka nde na oyo bozali na yango, pamba te Ye moko Nzambe alobaki: « Nakotikala kokabwana na yo te, nakotikala kosundola yo te. »
Let your manners be without covetousness, contented with such things as you have; for he hath said: I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.
6 Boye tokoki koloba na elikya nyonso: « Nkolo azali Mosungi na ngai, nakobanga te; bato bakoki kosala ngai nini? »
So that we may confidently say: The Lord is my helper: I will not fear what man shall do to me.
7 Bokanisaka bakambi na bino, oyo bateyaki bino Liloba na Nzambe; botala ndenge nini suka ya bomoi na bango ezalaki, mpe bomekola kondima na bango.
Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you; whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation,
Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today; and the same for ever. (aiōn g165)
9 Bolandaka te lolenge nyonso ya mateya ya sika, pamba te ebongi ete mitema na biso elendisama na nzela ya ngolu ya Nzambe, kasi na nzela te ya mibeko oyo esungaki ata moke te bato oyo bazalaki kotosa yango.
Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats; which have not profited those that walk in them.
10 Tozali na etumbelo, kasi Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalaka kati na Mongombo bazali na bokonzi te ya kolia mbeka oyo babonzi na likolo ya etumbelo yango,
We have an altar, whereof they have no power to eat who serve the tabernacle.
11 pamba te banzoto ya banyama oyo mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe amemaka makila na yango kati na Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule lokola mbeka mpo na bolimbisi ya masumu, etumbamaka na libanda ya molako.
For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holies by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 Yango wana Yesu mpe akufaki na libanda ya mboka mpo na kobulisa bato na nzela ya makila na Ye moko.
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Boye, biso mpe tokende epai ya Yesu na libanda ya molako, na kondima koyoka soni oyo Ye ayokaki;
Let us go forth therefore to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 pamba te, kati na mokili oyo, tozali na engumba moko te oyo ekowumela libela na libela, kasi tozali nde koluka engumba oyo ezali koya.
For we have not here a lasting city, but we seek one that is to come.
15 Yango wana, na nzela ya Yesu, tobonzelaka Nzambe tango nyonso mbeka ya masanzoli, elingi koloba: mbuma ya bibebu oyo etatolaka polele Kombo na Ye.
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name.
16 Bobosanaka te kosala bolamu mpe kosunga bato, pamba te yango nde bambeka oyo Nzambe asepelaka na yango.
And do not forget to do good, and to impart; for by such sacrifices God’s favour is obtained.
17 Botosaka bakambi na bino mpe bosalelaka mitindo oyo bapesaka bino, pamba te bazali bakengeli ya milimo na bino mpe bakosamba likolo na bino liboso ya Nzambe. Bosalaka bongo mpo ete basala mosala na bango na esengo, kasi na koyimayima te, soki te bokozanga litomba.
Obey your prelates, and be subject to them. For they watch as being to render an account of your souls; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief. For this is not expedient for you.
18 Bosambelaka mpo na biso! Pamba te tondimisami penza ete tozali na mitema ya peto mpe tozwi mokano ya kotambola na bomoi ya lokumu kati na makambo nyonso.
Pray for us. For we trust we have a good conscience, being willing to behave ourselves well in all things.
19 Nazali penza kosenga na bino ete bobondela Nzambe mpo ete bazongisa ngai na lombangu epai na bino.
And I beseech you the more to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 Tika ete Nzambe ya kimia, Ye oyo asekwisaki kati na bakufi Mobateli monene ya bameme, Yesu, Nkolo na biso, na nzela ya makila ya Boyokani ya seko, (aiōnios g166)
And may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great pastor of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the blood of the everlasting testament, (aiōnios g166)
21 apesa bino makoki ya kosalaka bolamu ya lolenge nyonso mpo na kokokisa mokano na Ye, mpe asala kati na biso makambo nyonso oyo esepelisaka Ye, na nzela ya Yesu-Klisto! Tika ete nkembo ezonga epai na Ye, mpo na libela na libela! Amen! (aiōn g165)
Fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 Nazali kosenga na bino bandeko na ngai ete bokanga motema na koyamba malendisi oyo nakomeli bino na mokuse penza.
And I beseech you, brethren, that you suffer this word of consolation. For I have written to you in a few words.
23 Boyeba ete ndeko na biso, Timote, asilaki kobima na boloko. Soki akoya noki, nakoya nzela moko na ye mpo na komona bino.
Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty: with whom (if he come shortly) I will see you.
24 Bopesa mbote na bakambi na bino nyonso mpe na basantu nyonso. Bandeko ya Itali batindeli bino mbote.
Salute all your prelates, and all the saints. The brethren from Italy salute you.
25 Tika ete ngolu ya Nzambe ezala na bino nyonso!
Grace be with you all. Amen.
