Hebrajczyków 13
1 Miłość braterska niech zostaje.
Continue to love your fellow believers.
2 Nie zapominajcie ochoty ku gościom; albowiem przez tę niektórzy nie wiedząc, Anioły za goście przyjmowali.
Do not forget to be hospitable to needy travelers [LIT]. You need to know that by being hospitable, some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
3 Pamiętajcie na więźniów, jakobyście spółwięźniami byli; na utrapionych, jako ci, którzy też w ciele jesteście.
Remember [to help] those who are in prison [because they are Christians], as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are being mistreated {whom people are mistreating} [because they are believers. As you do that], consider that you you could suffer as they do.
4 Uczciwe jest małżeństwo między wszystkimi i łoże niepokalane; ale wszeteczników i cudzołożników Bóg będzie sądził.
You must (respect/keep sacred) the marriage relationship in every way, and you must keep sexual relations [EUP] pure, because God will surely condemn those who act immorally and those who act adulterously.
5 Obcowanie wasze niech będzie bez łakomstwa, przestwając na tem, co macie; boć sam powiedział: Nie zaniecham cię, ani cię opuszczę:
Live without constantly coveting money, and be content with the things you possess, remembering what [Moses] wrote [that God] has said [about supplying what you need], I will never leave you, I will never stop providing for you [DOU].
6 Tak abyśmy śmiele mówić mogli: Pan mi jest pomocnikiem, nie będę się bał, aby mi co miał uczynić człowiek.
So we can say confidently [as the Psalmist said], Since the Lord is the one who helps me, I will not be afraid! People can do nothing to me [that will deprive me of God’s blessings] [RHQ].
7 Pamiętajcie na wodzów waszych, którzy wam mówili słowo Boże, których obcowania koniec upatrując naśladujcie wiary ich.
Your spiritual leaders used to tell you the message from God [before they died]. Remember how they conducted their lives. By considering (how they died/what resulted from how they lived), imitate how they believed [in Christ/God].
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn g165)
9 Za naukami rozmaitemi i obcemi nie unoście się; albowiem dobra rzecz jest, aby łaską było utwierdzone serce a nie pokarmami, które nie pomogły tym, co się nimi bawili.
[So], do not let yourselves be diverted {let anything divert you} so that you believe various teachings [that are contrary to God’s truth]. It is good that God acts kindly toward us so that we may be strengthened spiritually. [Obeying rules about] various foods, rules that have not benefited those who obeyed them, will not benefit us.
10 Mamy ołtarz, z którego nie mają wolności jeść ci, którzy przybytkowi służą.
We have [Jesus] [MTY]. All those who continue to observe the Jewish rituals [MTY] of sacrifice have no right to obtain the benefits of his sacrifice [MET].
11 Albowiem bydląt, których krew bywa wnoszona za grzech do świątnicy przez najwyższego kapłana, tych ciała palone bywają za obozem.
After the high priest brings into the most holy place the blood of animals [that they have sacrificed to atone] for sins, the bodies of those animals are burned {they burn the bodies of those animals} outside the camp.
12 Dlatego i Jezus, aby poświęcił lud własną krwią swoją, za bramą ucierpiał.
Similarly, Jesus suffered [and died] outside the gate [of Jerusalem] in order that he might make [us], his people, holy by [offering] his own blood [as a sacrifice to atone for our sins].
13 Wynijdźmyż tedy do niego za obóz, nosząc urąganie jego.
So, we must abandon [performing Jewish] sacrifices and rituals [MET] [in order to be saved], and let us go to Jesus [to be saved]. As we do that, we must [be willing to] let others reproach us just like people reproached Jesus.
14 Albowiem nie mamy tu miasta trwałego, ale onego przyszłego szukamy.
Here on earth, we believers do not have a city [such as Jerusalem where we must] continually [offer sacrifices] [MET]. Instead, we are waiting for a future [heavenly] city [that will last forever].
15 Przetoż przez niego ofiarujmy Bogu ofiarę chwały ustawicznie, to jest owoce warg wyznawających imieniowi jego.
With [the help of] Jesus, we must continually praise God. That will be something we can sacrifice [to him] [MET] [instead of our sacrificing animals only at specific times]. Specifically, we must say openly [MTY] [that we have trusted] in Christ [MTY].
16 A dobroczynności i udzielania nie przepominajcie; albowiem się Bóg w takowych ofiarach kocha.
Be continually [LIT] doing good deeds [for others], and be continually sharing [with others the things you have], because doing things like that will [also] be [as though you are offering] sacrifices that will please God.
17 Bądźcie posłuszni wodzom waszym i bądźcie im oddani; albowiem oni czują nad duszami waszemi, jako ci, którzy liczbę oddać mają; aby to z radością czynili, a nie z wzdychaniem; boć wam to nie jest pożyteczne.
Obey your [spiritual] leaders; do what they tell you, since they are the ones who are looking out for your spiritual welfare [SYN]. [Some day] they will have to stand before God so that he can say if he approves of what they have done. Obey them in order that they can do the work of guarding you joyfully, and not have to do it sadly, because if you cause them to do it sadly, that will certainly not help you at all (OR, they will not be able to help you at all).
18 Módlcie się za nami; albowiem ufamy, iż mamy dobre sumienie, jako ci, którzy się chcemy we wszystkiem dobrze zachować.
Pray for me. I am certain that I have not done anything that displeases God. I have tried to act honorably [toward you] in every way.
19 A tem więcej proszę was, abyście to czynili, abym wam tem rychlej był przywrócony.
I urge you earnestly to pray that [God] will quickly remove the things that hinder my coming to you.
20 A Bóg pokoju, który wywiódł od umarłych we krwi przymierza wiecznego, onego wielkiego pasterza owiec, Pana naszego Jezusa, (aiōnios g166)
Jesus [provides for us], [protects us, and guides us as] a great shepherd does for his sheep [MET]. And God, who gives us [inner] peace, brought our Lord Jesus back to life. By doing that, God ratified his eternal covenant with us by the blood [that flowed from Jesus when he died on the] cross. (aiōnios g166)
21 Niech was doskonałymi uczyni w każdym uczynku dobrym ku czynieniu woli swojej, sprawując w was to, co przyjemnego przed obliczem jego, przez Jezusa Chrystusa, któremu niech będzie chwała na wieki wieków. Amen. (aiōn g165)
So I pray that God will equip you with everything good [that you need in order] that you may do the things that he desires. May he accomplish in our lives whatever he considers pleasing as a result of Jesus Christ [equipping us]. May Jesus Christ be praised forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
22 A proszę was, bracia! znoście cierpliwie słowo napominania tego; bomci do was krótko pisał.
My fellow believers, I appeal to you that you patiently consider [what] I have written in this short letter, to exhort you.
23 Wiedzcie o bracie Tymoteuszu, że jest wypuszczony, z którym (jeźlibym szybko przyszedł), oglądam was.
I want you to know that our fellow believer Timothy has been released {[the authorities] have released our fellow believer Timothy} [from prison]. If he comes here soon, he will accompany me when I go to see you.
24 Pozdrówcie wszystkich wodzów waszych i wszystkich świętych. Pozdrawiają was bracia z Włoch.
Tell all your [spiritual] leaders and all the [other] fellow believers [in your city] that (I am thinking fondly about them/I am sending them my greetings). The believers [in this area who have come] from Italy [want you to know they] are (thinking about you/sending you their greetings).
25 Łaska niech będzie z wami wszystkimi. Amen.
[I pray that] you will continue to experience God’s acting kindly toward you all.
