ibriṇaḥ 13
1 bhrātṛṣu prema tiṣṭhatu| atithisevā yuṣmābhi rna vismaryyatāṁ
Let brotherly love abide.
2 yatastayā pracchannarūpeṇa divyadūtāḥ keṣāñcid atithayo'bhavan|
Be not forgetful of hospitality; for by it some have unawares entertained angels.
3 bandinaḥ sahabandibhiriva duḥkhinaśca dehavāsibhiriva yuṣmābhiḥ smaryyantāṁ|
Remember prisoners, as bound with [them]; those that are evil-treated, as being yourselves also in [the] body.
4 vivāhaḥ sarvveṣāṁ samīpe sammānitavyastadīyaśayyā ca śuciḥ kintu veśyāgāminaḥ pāradārikāśceśvareṇa daṇḍayiṣyante|
[Let] marriage [be held] every way in honour, and the bed [be] undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers will God judge.
5 yūyam ācāre nirlobhā bhavata vidyamānaviṣaye santuṣyata ca yasmād īśvara evedaṁ kathitavān, yathā, "tvāṁ na tyakṣyāmi na tvāṁ hāsyāmi|"
[Let your] conversation [be] without love of money, satisfied with [your] present circumstances; for he has said, I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.
6 ataeva vayam utsāhenedaṁ kathayituṁ śaknumaḥ, "matpakṣe parameśo'sti na bheṣyāmi kadācana| yasmāt māṁ prati kiṁ karttuṁ mānavaḥ pārayiṣyati||"
So that, taking courage, we may say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I will not be afraid: what will man do unto me?
7 yuṣmākaṁ ye nāyakā yuṣmabhyam īśvarasya vākyaṁ kathitavantaste yuṣmābhiḥ smaryyantāṁ teṣām ācārasya pariṇāmam ālocya yuṣmābhisteṣāṁ viśvāso'nukriyatāṁ|
Remember your leaders who have spoken to you the word of God; and considering the issue of their conversation, imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ [is] the same yesterday, and to-day, and to the ages [to come]. (aiōn g165)
9 yūyaṁ nānāvidhanūtanaśikṣābhi rna parivarttadhvaṁ yato'nugraheṇāntaḥkaraṇasya susthirībhavanaṁ kṣemaṁ na ca khādyadravyaiḥ| yatastadācāriṇastai rnopakṛtāḥ|
Be not carried away with various and strange doctrines; for [it is] good that the heart be confirmed with grace, not meats; those who have walked in which have not been profited by [them].
10 ye daṣyasya sevāṁ kurvvanti te yasyā dravyabhojanasyānadhikāriṇastādṛśī yajñavedirasmākam āste|
We have an altar of which they have no right to eat who serve the tabernacle;
11 yato yeṣāṁ paśūnāṁ śoṇitaṁ pāpanāśāya mahāyājakena mahāpavitrasthānasyābhyantaraṁ nīyate teṣāṁ śarīrāṇi śibirād bahi rdahyante|
for of those beasts whose blood is carried [as sacrifices for sin] into the [holy of] holies by the high priest, of these the bodies are burned outside the camp.
12 tasmād yīśurapi yat svarudhireṇa prajāḥ pavitrīkuryyāt tadarthaṁ nagaradvārasya bahi rmṛtiṁ bhuktavān|
Wherefore also Jesus, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate:
13 ato hetorasmābhirapi tasyāpamānaṁ sahamānaiḥ śibirād bahistasya samīpaṁ gantavyaṁ|
therefore let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach:
14 yato 'trāsmākaṁ sthāyi nagaraṁ na vidyate kintu bhāvi nagaram asmābhiranviṣyate|
for we have not here an abiding city, but we seek the coming one.
15 ataeva yīśunāsmābhi rnityaṁ praśaṁsārūpo balirarthatastasya nāmāṅgīkurvvatām oṣṭhādharāṇāṁ phalam īśvarāya dātavyaṁ|
By him therefore let us offer [the] sacrifice of praise continually to God, that is, [the] fruit of [the] lips confessing his name.
16 aparañca paropakāro dānañca yuṣmābhi rna vismaryyatāṁ yatastādṛśaṁ balidānam īśvarāya rocate|
But of doing good and communicating [of your substance] be not forgetful, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17 yūyaṁ svanāyakānām ājñāgrāhiṇo vaśyāśca bhavata yato yairupanidhiḥ pratidātavyastādṛśā lokā iva te yuṣmadīyātmanāṁ rakṣaṇārthaṁ jāgrati, ataste yathā sānandāstat kuryyu rna ca sārttasvarā atra yatadhvaṁ yatasteṣām ārttasvaro yuṣmākam iṣṭajanako na bhavet|
Obey your leaders, and be submissive; for they watch over your souls as those that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not groaning, for this [would be] unprofitable for you.
18 aparañca yūyam asmannimittiṁ prārthanāṁ kuruta yato vayam uttamamanoviśiṣṭāḥ sarvvatra sadācāraṁ karttum icchukāśca bhavāma iti niścitaṁ jānīmaḥ|
Pray for us: for we persuade ourselves that we have a good conscience, in all things desirous to walk rightly.
19 viśeṣato'haṁ yathā tvarayā yuṣmabhyaṁ puna rdīye tadarthaṁ prārthanāyai yuṣmān adhikaṁ vinaye|
But I much more beseech [you] to do this, that I may the more quickly be restored to you.
20 anantaniyamasya rudhireṇa viśiṣṭo mahān meṣapālako yena mṛtagaṇamadhyāt punarānāyi sa śāntidāyaka īśvaro (aiōnios g166)
But the God of peace, who brought again from among [the] dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, in [the power of the] blood of [the] eternal covenant, (aiōnios g166)
21 nijābhimatasādhanāya sarvvasmin satkarmmaṇi yuṣmān siddhān karotu, tasya dṛṣṭau ca yadyat tuṣṭijanakaṁ tadeva yuṣmākaṁ madhye yīśunā khrīṣṭena sādhayatu| tasmai mahimā sarvvadā bhūyāt| āmen| (aiōn g165)
perfect you in every good work to the doing of his will, doing in you what is pleasing before him through Jesus Christ; to whom [be] glory for the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 he bhrātaraḥ, vinaye'haṁ yūyam idam upadeśavākyaṁ sahadhvaṁ yato'haṁ saṁkṣepeṇa yuṣmān prati likhitavān|
But I beseech you, brethren, bear the word of exhortation, for it is but in few words that I have written to you.
23 asmākaṁ bhrātā tīmathiyo mukto'bhavad iti jānīta, sa ca yadi tvarayā samāgacchati tarhi tena sārddhaṁm ahaṁ yuṣmān sākṣāt kariṣyāmi|
Know that our brother Timotheus is set at liberty; with whom, if he should come soon, I will see you.
24 yuṣmākaṁ sarvvān nāyakān pavitralokāṁśca namaskuruta| aparam itāliyādeśīyānāṁ namaskāraṁ jñāsyatha|
Salute all your leaders, and all the saints. They from Italy salute you.
25 anugraho yuṣmākaṁ sarvveṣāṁ sahāyo bhūyāt| āmen|
Grace [be] with you all. Amen.
