KumaHebheru 13
1 Kalume njalo uthando lobuzalwane.
Let brotherly love continue.
2 Lingakhohlwa ukungenisa izihambi; ngoba ngalokho abanye bangenisa izingilosi bengazi.
Do not forget hospitality to strangers, for in doing so some have entertained angels without knowing it.
3 Khumbulani izibotshwa, ngokungathi libotshwe kanye lazo; abaphethwe kubi, ngokungathi lani liphethwe kubi emzimbeni.
Remember the prisoners as if chained with them, those who are being mistreated as if you yourselves were physically there.
4 Umtshado uhlonitshwa kubo bonke, lombheda ungangcoliswa; kodwa uNkulunkulu uzagweba iziphingi lezifebe.
Marriage is honorable among all and the marriage bed undefiled, but God will judge fornicators and adulterers.
5 Indlela yempilo kayingabi ngeyokuthanda imali, yeneliswani yizinto elilazo; ngoba yena utshilo ukuthi: Kangisoze ngakulahla, njalo kangisoze ngakutshiya.
Your way of life should be free from the love of money, being content with what you have, because He Himself has said: “I absolutely will not desert you; I most certainly will not abandon you.”
6 Ngakho singatsho ngesibindi sithi: INkosi ingumsizi wami, njalo kangiyikwesaba umuntu azakwenza kimi.
So we can say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”
7 Khumbulani abakhokheli benu, abakhulume kini ilizwi likaNkulunkulu; liqaphelise ukuphela kokuhamba kwabo, lilingisele ukholo lwabo.
Remember your leaders, those who spoke the Word of God to you, whose faith imitate, considering the outcome of their conduct.
Jesus Christ is Himself, yesterday and today and into the ages. (aiōn g165)
9 Lingaduhiswa yizimfundiso eziyinhlobonhlobo lezingaziwayo; ngoba kuhle ukuthi inhliziyo iqiniswe ngomusa, kungabi ngokudla, abangasizwanga yikho ababebambelela kukho.
Do not be carried away by various and strange teachings, because it is good that the heart be established by grace, not foods, by which those who were so occupied were not benefited.
10 Silalo ilathi, abangelalungelo lokudla kulo abakhonza ithabhanekele.
We have an altar from which those who serve in the Tabernacle have no right to eat.
11 Ngoba lezozinyamazana, ogazi lazo langeniswa ngumpristi omkhulu endaweni ezingcwele ngenxa yesono, izidumbu zazo zitshiswa ngaphandle kwenkamba.
Because the bodies of the animals—whose blood, concerning sin, is brought into the Holies by the high priest—are burned up outside the camp,
12 Ngakho laye uJesu, ukuze angcwelise abantu ngelakhe igazi, wahlupheka ngaphandle kwesango.
therefore Jesus also, so that He might sanctify the people by His own blood, suffered outside the city gate.
13 Ngakho-ke asiphumele kuye ngaphandle kwenkamba, sithwele ihlazo lakhe.
So then, let us go out to Him, outside the camp, bearing His disgrace;
14 Ngoba kasilawo umuzi omiyo lapha, kodwa sidinga ozayo.
because here we do not have a permanent city, but we seek the coming one.
15 Ngakho asinikele njalonjalo kuNkulunkulu ngaye umnikelo wendumiso, okutsho isithelo sendebe sivuma ibizo lakhe.
Through Him therefore, at all times, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God—the fruit of lips that identify with His name.
16 Kodwa lingakhohlwa ukwenza okuhle lokuphana; ngoba uNkulunkulu uyathokoza ngeminikelo enjalo.
(But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.)
17 Lalelani abakhokheli benu, lizehlisele ngaphansi kwabo; ngoba laba balinda imiphefumulo yenu, njengabazalandisa; ukuze bakwenze lokhu ngenjabulo, njalo bengabubuli; ngoba kungalisizi lokhu.
Obey your leaders and submit, for they keep watch over your souls, as those who must give account, so that they may do it with joy and not sighing (which would be unprofitable for you).
18 Sikhulekeleni; ngoba siyathemba ukuthi silesazela esihle, sifisa ukuhamba kuhle ezintweni zonke;
Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, desiring to live commendably in all things;
19 njalo ngiyalincenga ngokwengezelelwe kakhulu ukuthi likwenze lokhu, ukuze ngibuyiselwe kini ngokuphangisa.
I especially urge you to do this so that I may be restored to you more quickly.
20 Kungathi uNkulunkulu wokuthula owamkhuphula kwabafileyo uMelusi omkhulu wezimvu ngegazi lesivumelwano saphakade, iNkosi yethu uJesu, (aiōnios g166)
Now may the God of peace—who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep— (aiōnios g166)
21 angaliphelelisa kuwo wonke umsebenzi omuhle ukuze lenze intando yakhe, esebenza kini lokho okumthokozisayo phambi kwakhe, ngoJesu Kristu, kakube kuye ubukhosi kuze kube nini lanini. Ameni. (aiōn g165)
equip you for every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 Kodwa ngiyalincenga, bazalwane, lemukeleni ngesineke ilizwi lenkuthazo; ngoba ngilibhalele ngamafitshane.
Now I appeal to you, brothers, bear with this word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.
23 Yazini ukuthi umzalwane uTimothi ukhululwe, uba efika masinyane, ngizalibona ngilaye.
Know that brother Timothy has been released, with whom I will see you, if he comes quickly.
24 Bingelelani bonke abakhokheli benu, labo bonke abangcwele. Abavela eIthaliya bayalibingelela.
Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.
25 Umusakawube lani lonke. Ameni.
The Grace be with you all. Amen.
