Ba-Ebre 13
1 Tika ete bondeko ewumela kati na bino!
Let brotherly love remain.
2 Bolemba te koyambaka malamu bapaya, pamba te, na nzela wana, bato mosusu bayambaki ba-anjelu wana bayebaki te ete bazali solo ba-anjelu.
Do not be forgetful of hospitality, for through this some entertained messengers unaware.
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.
Be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as yourselves also being 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.
The marriage [is to be] honored by all, and the bed undefiled, for God will judge whoremongers and adulterers.
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. »
[Be] without covetous behavior, being content with the things present, for He has said, “No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake you,”
6 Boye tokoki koloba na elikya nyonso: « Nkolo azali Mosungi na ngai, nakobanga te; bato bakoki kosala ngai nini? »
so that we boldly say, “The LORD [is] to me a helper, and I will not fear what man will 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.
Be mindful of those leading you, who spoke to you the word of God, who, considering the outcome of [their] behavior, imitate [their] faith:
Jesus Christ—the same yesterday and today and for all ages. (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.
Do not be carried away with strange and manifold teachings, for [it is] good that by grace the heart is confirmed, not with meats, in which they who were occupied were not profited;
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 from which they who are serving the Dwelling Place have no authority to eat,
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 of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places through the chief priest—of these the bodies are burned outside the camp.
12 Yango wana Yesu mpe akufaki na libanda ya mboka mpo na kobulisa bato na nzela ya makila na Ye moko.
For this reason, also Jesus—that He might sanctify the people through [His] own blood—suffered outside the gate;
13 Boye, biso mpe tokende epai ya Yesu na libanda ya molako, na kondima koyoka soni oyo Ye ayokaki;
now then, may we go forth to Him outside 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 no abiding city here, but we seek the coming one.
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.
Through Him, then, we may always offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His Name.
16 Bobosanaka te kosala bolamu mpe kosunga bato, pamba te yango nde bambeka oyo Nzambe asepelaka na yango.
And do not be forgetful of doing good and of fellowship, for God is well-pleased with such sacrifices.
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.
Be obedient to those leading you, and be subject, for these watch for your souls, as about to give account, that they may do this with joy, and not sighing, for this [is] unprofitable to 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 that we have a good conscience, willing to behave well in all things,
19 Nazali penza kosenga na bino ete bobondela Nzambe mpo ete bazongisa ngai na lombangu epai na bino.
and I call on [you] to do this more abundantly, that I may be restored to you more quickly.
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 the God of peace, who brought up the Great Shepherd of the sheep out of the dead—by the blood of a perpetual covenant—our Lord Jesus, (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)
make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom [is] the glory through the ages of the ages! 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 beg you, brothers, endure the word of the exhortation, for I have also written to you through 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 that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom I will see you, if he may come more shortly.
24 Bopesa mbote na bakambi na bino nyonso mpe na basantu nyonso. Bandeko ya Itali batindeli bino mbote.
Greet all those leading you, and all the holy ones. Those from Italy greet you.
25 Tika ete ngolu ya Nzambe ezala na bino nyonso!
The grace [is] with you all! Amen.
