Abaebbulaniya 13
1 Mweyongere okwagalananga ng’abooluganda.
Let your love for the Brethren continue.
2 Temwerabiranga kusembeza bagenyi, kubanga waliwo abaasembeza bamalayika nga tebagenderedde.
Do not neglect to show hospitality; for, through being hospitable, men have all unawares entertained angels.
3 Mujjukirenga abasibe abali mu kkomera, nga muli nga abaasibirwa awamu n’abo. Munakuwaliranga wamu nabo ababonyaabonyezebwa, kubanga nammwe muli mu mubiri.
Remember the prisoners, as if you were their fellow-prisoners, and the oppressed, not forgetting that you also are still in the body.
4 Obufumbo mubussangamu ekitiibwa n’ebirayiro byabwo, kubanga abakaba n’abenzi Katonda alibasalira omusango, ne gubasinga.
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 Mwewalenga omululu, bye mulina bibamalenga. Kubanga Katonda yagamba nti, “Sirikuleka era sirikwabulira n’akatono.”
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 Kyetuva twogera n’obuvumu nti, “Mukama ye mubeezi wange, siityenga, omuntu ayinza kunkola ki?”
Therefore we may say with confidence — ‘The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?’
7 Mujjukirenga abakulembeze bammwe abaababuulira ekigambo kya Katonda, nga mutunuulira empisa zaabwe nga mugobereranga okukkiriza.
Do not forget your Leaders, the men who told you God’s Message. Recall the close of their lives, and imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day — yes, 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 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 Tulina ekyoto, abaweereza mu weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu kye batalina buyinza kuliirangako.
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 Kabona Asinga Obukulu yatwalanga omusaayi gw’ebisolo, olw’ebibi, mu kifo ekitukuvu era n’ennyama yaabyo n’eyokerwa ebweru w’olusiisira.
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 Noolwekyo ne Yesu kyeyava abonaabonera era n’afiira ebweru w’ekibuga alyoke atutukuze n’omusaayi gwe ye.
And so Jesus, also, to purify the People by his own blood, suffered outside the gate.
13 Kale naffe tufulume tulage gy’ali ebweru w’olusiisira nga twetisse ekivume kye.
Therefore let us go out to him ‘outside the camp,’ bearing the same reproaches as he;
14 Kubanga wano ku nsi tetulinaawo kibuga kya lubeerera, wabula tulindirira ekyo ekijja.
for here we have no permanent city, but are looking for the City that is to be.
15 Kale mu Yesu tuweerayo bulijjo ssaddaaka ey’okutendereza Katonda, kye kirabo eky’emimwa, nga twatula erinnya lye.
Through him let us offer, as our sacrifice, continual praise to God — an offering from lips that glorify his Name.
16 Temwerabiranga kukola bulungi n’okugabananga; kubanga ssaddaaka eziri ng’ezo Katonda zimusanyusa.
Never forget to do kindly acts and to share what you have with others, for such sacrifices are acceptable to God.
17 Muwulirenga abakulembeze bammwe era mubagonderenga, kubanga obuweereza bwabwe kwe kulabirira emyoyo gyammwe, balyoke bakikole n’essanyu nga tebeemulugunya. Kubanga bwe babeemulugunyiza tekibagasa mmwe.
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 Mutusabirenga, kubanga tumanyidde ddala nga tulina omwoyo mulungi, era twagala okukolanga obulungi mu buli kimu.
Pray for us, for we are sure that our consciences are clear, since our wish is to be occupied with what is good.
19 Era okusinga ennyo mbeegayirira munsabire ndyoke nkomewo mangu gye muli.
And I the more earnestly ask for your prayers, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 Kale, Katonda ow’emirembe eyazuukiza Mukama waffe Yesu, Omusumba w’endiga omukulu ow’endagaano etaggwaawo gye yanyweza n’omusaayi gwe, (aiōnios g166)
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 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)
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 g165)
22 Kaakano mbakuutira abooluganda, mugumiikirizenga ebibabuulirirwa, kubanga mbawandiikidde mu bigambo bitono.
I beg you, Brothers, to bear with these words of advice. For I have written only very briefly to you.
23 Mbategeeza nti muganda waffe Timoseewo yateebwa, bw’alijja amangu, ndijja naye eyo okubalaba.
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 Mulamuse abakulembeze bammwe era n’abakkiriza bonna. Ab’omu Italiya babalamusizza.
Give our greeting to all your Leaders, and to all Christ’s People. Our friends from Italy send their greetings to you.
25 Ekisa kibeerenga nammwe mwenna.
May God bless you all.
