Wahebrania 13
1 Endeleeni kupendana kidugu.
Let the love of the brethren continue in you;
2 Msisahau kuwakaribisha wageni; maana kwa kufanya hivyo watu wengine walipata kuwakaribisha malaika bila kujua.
and kindness to strangers forget not; for in this some who were made worthy, while not perceiving it, have received angels.
3 Wakumbukeni wale waliofungwa kana kwamba mmefungwa pamoja nao. Wakumbukeni wale wanaoteseka kana kwamba nanyi mnateseka kama wao.
Remember those who are bound, as if with them ye were bound: be mindful of those who are afflicted, as men (should) who are clothed with flesh.
4 Ndoa inapaswa kuheshimiwa na watu wote, na haki zake zitekelezwe kwa uaminifu. Mungu atawahukumu waasherati na wazinzi.
Honourable is marriage among all, and their bed is undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers Aloha judgeth.
5 Msiwe watu wa kupenda fedha; toshekeni na vile vitu mlivyo navyo. Mungu mwenyewe amesema: “Sitakuacha kamwe, wala sitakutupa.”
Let not your mind love money; but let whatever ye have suffice you: for the Lord hath said, I will not abandon thee, nor withhold from thee support.
6 Ndiyo maana tunathubutu kusema: “Bwana ndiye msaada wangu, sitaogopa. Binadamu atanifanya nini?”
And it is ours to say confidently, My Lord is my helper, I will not fear: what a man do to me?
7 wakumbukeni viongozi wenu waliowatangazieni ujumbe wa Mungu. Fikirieni juu ya mwenendo wao, mkaige imani yao.
Remember your leaders; those who have spoken to you the word of Aloha: reflect on the consummation of their course, and imitate their faith.
Jeshu Meshiha is yesterday, and to-day, and for ever. (aiōn g165)
9 Msipeperushwe huku na huku kwa mafundisho tofauti ya kigeni. Neema ya Mungu ndiyo inayoimarisha roho zetu na wala si masharti juu ya chakula; masharti hayo hayakumsaidia kamwe mtu yeyote aliyeyafuata.
Unto strange and variable doctrines be not led away; for it is good that with grace we confirm our hearts, and not by meats, because they have not been helped who have walked in them.
10 Sisi tunayo madhabahu ambayo wale wanaotumikia bado katika hema la Wayahudi, hawana haki ya kula vitu vyake.
But we have an altar of which it is not lawful for them to eat who minister in the tabernacle.
11 Kuhani Mkuu wa Kiyahudi huleta damu ya wanyama katika Mahali Patakatifu na kuitoa dhabihu kwa ajili ya dhambi; lakini nyama za hao wanyama huteketezwa nje ya kambi.
For those animals, whose blood the high priest took into the sanctuary for sins, had their flesh burned without the camp.
12 Ndiyo maana Yesu pia, kusudi apate kuwatakasa watu kwa damu yake mwenyewe, aliteswa na kufa nje ya mji.
On this account Jeshu, that he might sanctify his people by his blood, without the city suffered.
13 Basi, tumwendee huko nje ya kambi tukajitwike laana yake.
Therefore let us also go forth unto him without the camp, being, clothed with his ignominy.
14 Maana hapa duniani hatuna mji wa kudumu; lakini tunautafuta ule unaokuja.
For we have no city which is permanent here; but one that is to come we are expecting.
15 Basi, kwa njia ya Yesu, tumtolee Mungu dhabihu ya sifa daima, yaani sifa zinazotolewa na midomo inayoliungama jina lake.
By him, therefore, let us offer up at all time unto Aloha the sacrifices of praise, which are the fruits of the lips which give thanks to his name.
16 Msisahau kutenda mema na kusaidiana, maana hizi ndizo dhabihu zinazompendeza Mungu.
And forget not compassion and communication to the poor: for with these sacrifices a man pleaseth Aloha.
17 Watiini viongozi wenu na kushika amri zao; wao huchunga roho zenu usiku na mchana, na watatoa ripoti ya utumishi wao mbele ya Mungu. Kama mkiwatii watafanya kazi zao kwa furaha, la sivyo, watazifanya kwa huzuni, na hiyo haitakuwa na faida kwenu.
Be persuaded by your leaders, and obey them; for they watch for your souls as men who must render an account of you, that with joy they may do this, and not with groans; for that is not profitable for you.
18 Tuombeeni na sisi. Tuna hakika kwamba tunayo dhamiri safi, maana twataka kufanya lililo sawa daima.
Pray for us; for we are confident we have a good conscience, that in all things we desire to act aright.
19 Nawasihi sana mniombee ili Mungu anirudishe kwenu upesi iwezekanavyo.
And more especially I ask from you to do this, that I may be turned to you quickly.
20 Mungu amemfufua Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo ambaye ni Mchungaji Mkuu wa kondoo kwa sababu ya kumwaga damu yake iliyothibitisha agano la milele. (aiōnios g166)
But the God of peace, who brought up from the house of the dead the great Shepherd of the flock, by the blood of the eternal covenant, who is Jeshu Meshiha, our Lord, (aiōnios g166)
21 Mungu wa amani awakamilishe katika kila tendo jema ili mtekeleze mapenzi yake; yeye na afanye ndani yetu kwa njia ya Kristo yale yanayompendeza mwenyewe. Utukufu uwe kwake, milele na milele! Amina. (aiōn g165)
make you perfect in every good work, that ye may do his will, and effect in you whatever is good before him, by Jeshu Meshiha: to him be glory unto the age of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 Basi, ndugu, nawasihi mpokee kwa utulivu ujumbe huu wa kuwatieni moyo. Hii ni barua fupi tu ambayo nimewaandikieni.
Now I request from you, my brethren, that ye prolong your minds on the word of exhortation; for in a few (words) I have written to you.
23 Napenda kuwajulisheni kwamba ndugu yetu Timotheo amekwisha funguliwa gerezani. Kama akifika hapa mapema, nitakuja naye nitakapokuja kwenu.
But know that our brother Timotheos is released; and if he come soon, with him I will see you.
24 Wasalimieni viongozi wenu wote pamoja na watu wa Mungu! Ndugu wa Italia wanawasalimuni.
Ask for the peace of all your leaders, and of all the saints: they of Italia ask for your peace.
25 Tunawatakieni nyote neema ya Mungu.
Grace be with you all. Amen.
