Abaebbulaniya 13
1 Mweyongere okwagalananga ng’abooluganda.
Go on loving your brothers in the faith.
2 Temwerabiranga kusembeza bagenyi, kubanga waliwo abaasembeza bamalayika nga tebagenderedde.
Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.
3 Mujjukirenga abasibe abali mu kkomera, nga muli nga abaasibirwa awamu n’abo. Munakuwaliranga wamu nabo ababonyaabonyezebwa, kubanga nammwe muli mu mubiri.
Keep in mind those who are in chains, as if you were chained with them, and those who are in trouble, as being yourselves in the body.
4 Obufumbo mubussangamu ekitiibwa n’ebirayiro byabwo, kubanga abakaba n’abenzi Katonda alibasalira omusango, ne gubasinga.
Let married life be honoured among all of you and not made unclean; for men untrue in married life will be judged by God.
5 Mwewalenga omululu, bye mulina bibamalenga. Kubanga Katonda yagamba nti, “Sirikuleka era sirikwabulira n’akatono.”
Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.
6 Kyetuva twogera n’obuvumu nti, “Mukama ye mubeezi wange, siityenga, omuntu ayinza kunkola ki?”
So that we say with a good heart, The Lord is my helper; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?
7 Mujjukirenga abakulembeze bammwe abaababuulira ekigambo kya Katonda, nga mutunuulira empisa zaabwe nga mugobereranga okukkiriza.
Keep in mind those who were over you, and who gave you the word of God; seeing the outcome of their way of life, let your faith be like theirs.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever. (aiōn g165)
9 Temusendebwasendebwanga kuyigiriza okw’engeri ennyingi ezitamanyiddwa. Kubanga kirungi omutima okunywezebwa ekisa, so si mu byokulya ebitagasa abo ababirya.
Do not be turned away by different strange teachings, because it is good for your hearts to be made strong by grace, and not by meats, which were of no profit to those who took so much trouble over them.
10 Tulina ekyoto, abaweereza mu weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu kye batalina buyinza kuliirangako.
We have an altar from which those priests who are servants in the Tent may not take food.
11 Kabona Asinga Obukulu yatwalanga omusaayi gw’ebisolo, olw’ebibi, mu kifo ekitukuvu era n’ennyama yaabyo n’eyokerwa ebweru w’olusiisira.
For the bodies of the beasts whose blood is taken into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the circle of the tents.
12 Noolwekyo ne Yesu kyeyava abonaabonera era n’afiira ebweru w’ekibuga alyoke atutukuze n’omusaayi gwe ye.
For this reason Jesus was put to death outside the walls, so that he might make the people holy by his blood.
13 Kale naffe tufulume tulage gy’ali ebweru w’olusiisira nga twetisse ekivume kye.
Let us then go out to him outside the circle of the tents, taking his shame on ourselves.
14 Kubanga wano ku nsi tetulinaawo kibuga kya lubeerera, wabula tulindirira ekyo ekijja.
For here we have no fixed resting-place, but our search is for the one which is to come.
15 Kale mu Yesu tuweerayo bulijjo ssaddaaka ey’okutendereza Katonda, kye kirabo eky’emimwa, nga twatula erinnya lye.
Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name.
16 Temwerabiranga kukola bulungi n’okugabananga; kubanga ssaddaaka eziri ng’ezo Katonda zimusanyusa.
But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.
17 Muwulirenga abakulembeze bammwe era mubagonderenga, kubanga obuweereza bwabwe kwe kulabirira emyoyo gyammwe, balyoke bakikole n’essanyu nga tebeemulugunya. Kubanga bwe babeemulugunyiza tekibagasa mmwe.
Give ear to those who are rulers over you, and do as they say: for they keep watch over your souls, ready to give an account of them; let them be able to do this with joy and not with grief, because that would be of no profit to you.
18 Mutusabirenga, kubanga tumanyidde ddala nga tulina omwoyo mulungi, era twagala okukolanga obulungi mu buli kimu.
Make prayers for us, for we are certain that our hearts are free from the sense of sin, desiring the right way of life in all things.
19 Era okusinga ennyo mbeegayirira munsabire ndyoke nkomewo mangu gye muli.
I make this request more strongly, in the hope of coming back to you more quickly.
20 Kale, Katonda ow’emirembe eyazuukiza Mukama waffe Yesu, Omusumba w’endiga omukulu ow’endagaano etaggwaawo gye yanyweza n’omusaayi gwe, (aiōnios g166)
Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement, (aiōnios g166)
21 abawe buli kirungi kyonna kye mwetaaga okubasobozesa okukola by’ayagala, era atukozese ebisiimibwa mu maaso ge ng’ayita mu Yesu Kristo. Aweebwenga ekitiibwa emirembe n’emirembe. Amiina. (aiōn g165)
Make you full of every good work and ready to do all his desires, working in us whatever is pleasing in his eyes through Jesus Christ; and may the glory be given to him for ever and ever. So be it. (aiōn g165)
22 Kaakano mbakuutira abooluganda, mugumiikirizenga ebibabuulirirwa, kubanga mbawandiikidde mu bigambo bitono.
But, brothers, take kindly the words which I have said for your profit; for I have not sent you a long letter.
23 Mbategeeza nti muganda waffe Timoseewo yateebwa, bw’alijja amangu, ndijja naye eyo okubalaba.
Our brother Timothy has been let out of prison; and if he comes here in a short time, he and I will come to you together.
24 Mulamuse abakulembeze bammwe era n’abakkiriza bonna. Ab’omu Italiya babalamusizza.
Give words of love from me to those who are rulers over you, and to all the saints. Those who are in Italy send you their love.
25 Ekisa kibeerenga nammwe mwenna.
May grace be with you all.
