Ba-Ebre 13
1 Tika ete bondeko ewumela kati na bino!
Let love for the brethren dwell among 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 forget not kindness to strangers; for thereby some have been privileged to entertain angels, unawares.
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.
And remember those in bonds, as if ye were bound with them: and recollect those in affliction, as being yourselves clothed in flesh.
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 is honorable in all; and their bed undefiled: but whoremongers 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 not your mind love money; but let what ye have, satisfy you. For the Lord himself hath said, I will never leave thee, nor slacken the hand towards thee.
6 Boye tokoki koloba na elikya nyonso: « Nkolo azali Mosungi na ngai, nakobanga te; bato bakoki kosala ngai nini? »
And it belongeth to us, to say confidently, My Lord is my aider, I will not fear. What can man 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 guides, who have spoken to you godly discourse; examine the issue of their course, and imitate their faith.
Jesus the Messiah is the same, yesterday, to-day, and 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 by strange and variable doctrines. For it is a good thing, that we strengthen our hearts with grace, and not with meats; for those have not been benefited, who walked 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,
And we have an altar, of which they who minister in the tabernacle have no right 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 the flesh of those animals, whose blood the high priest brought into the sanctuary for sins, was 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.
For this reason, Jesus also, that he might sanctify his people with his blood, suffered without the city.
13 Boye, biso mpe tokende epai ya Yesu na libanda ya molako, na kondima koyoka soni oyo Ye ayokaki;
Therefore, let us also go forth to him, without the camp, clothed with 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 here no abiding city; but we expect one that is future: )
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.
and through him, let us at all times offer to God the sacrifices of praise, that is, the fruits of lips which give thanks to his name.
16 Bobosanaka te kosala bolamu mpe kosunga bato, pamba te yango nde bambeka oyo Nzambe asepelaka na yango.
And forget not commiseration and communication with the poor; for with such sacrifices a man pleaseth God.
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.
Confide in your guides, and hearken to them; for they watch for your souls, as men who must give an account of you, that they may do this with joy and not with anguish; for that would not be profitable 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 ye for us; for we trust we have a good consciousness, that in all things we desire to conduct ourselves well.
19 Nazali penza kosenga na bino ete bobondela Nzambe mpo ete bazongisa ngai na lombangu epai na bino.
Especially do I request you to do this, that I may return to you speedily.
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)
May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the flock, by the blood of the everlasting covenant, namely Jesus the Messiah, our Lord, (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, that ye may do his pleasure; and himself operate in you that which is pleasing In his sight, through Jesus the Messiah; to whom be 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, my brethren, that ye be patient under this word of exhortation; for it is in few words I have written to you.
23 Boyeba ete ndeko na biso, Timote, asilaki kobima na boloko. Soki akoya noki, nakoya nzela moko na ye mpo na komona bino.
And know ye, that our brother Timothy is set at liberty: and if he come soon, I, with him, shall see you.
24 Bopesa mbote na bakambi na bino nyonso mpe na basantu nyonso. Bandeko ya Itali batindeli bino mbote.
Salute all your guides, and all the saints. All they of Italy salute you.
25 Tika ete ngolu ya Nzambe ezala na bino nyonso!
Grace be with you all. Amen.
