Hebrews 12
1 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,
Konsa, nou la nan mitan foul moun sa yo ki te moutre jan yo te gen konfyans nan Bondye. Ann voye tout bagay k'ap antrave kous nou jete byen lwen, ansanm ak peche a ki fasil pou vlope nou. Ann kouri avèk pasyans nan chemen Bondye mete devan nou an.
2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Ann kenbe je nou kole sou Jezi. Se nan li konfyans nou soti, se li menm tou k'ap kenbe nou nan konfyans sa a jouk sa kaba. Li kite yo fè l' soufri sou kwa a. Li pa pran wont sa a pou anyen, paske li te toujou chonje apre l' te fin soufri a, Bondye t'ap fè kè l' kontan. Kifè koulye a li chita sou bò dwat fotèy Bondye a.
3 For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.
Egzaminen ka li byen. Gade tou sa li sibi nan men bann pechè sa yo ki pa t' vle wè l' menm. Konsa tou, pa kouri pou batay la. Pa dekouraje.
4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
Paske nan batay n'ap mennen kont peche a, nou poko goumen jan nou ta dwe jouk pou nou ta mouri.
5 You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
Eske nou gen tan bliye pawòl Bondye te di pou ankouraje nou tankou pitit li? Pitit mwen, lè Bondye ap peni ou, pa pran sa an jwèt. Lè l'ap fè ou repwòch, pa dekouraje.
6 for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
Paske Bondye peni moun li renmen. Se moun li rekonèt pou pitit li li bat.
7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?
Enben, sipòte soufrans sa yo tankou si se papa nou k'ap peni nou. Paske soufrans sa yo se prèv Bondye konsidere nou pou pitit li. Nou janm tande yon papa ki pa janm peni pitit li?
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
Si Bondye pa peni nou tankou tout papa peni pitit yo, sa vle di nou pa pitit lejitim Bondye tout bon, nou se pitit deyò.
9 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
Chonje sa papa nou sou latè a konn fè. Yo peni nou. Malgre sa, nou toujou respekte yo. Nou pa bezwen mande jan nou dwe soumèt devan Papa nou ki nan syèl la, si nou bezwen viv.
10 For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
Papa nou sou latè a te konn peni nou pou yon ti tan, dapre sa yo te kwè ki te bon. Men, Bondye peni nou pou byen pa nou menm, pou nou ka rive viv menm jan l'ap viv la.
11 All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Lè y'ap peni nou, sa yon ti jan vle fè nou plis lapenn pase pou l' ta fè nou kontan. Men pita, moun ki soti byen elve apre tout penisyon sa yo, yo pral mennen yon lavi byen dwat ak kè poze.
12 Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
Se poutèt sa, souke kò nou. Pa kite fatig antre sou nou.
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
Mache kote ki plat pou pye k'ap bwete a pa foule pi plis, okontrè pou l' ka geri.
14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,
Chache viv ak kè poze ak tout moun. Mennen yon lavi apa pou Bondye. Si se pa sa, pa gen moun k'ap wè Seyè a.
15 looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,
Pa kite pesonn vire do bay favè Bondye a. Pa kite pesonn tounen tankou yon plant anmè k'ap pouse rasin k'ap anpwazonnen lòt yo.
16 lest there be any sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
Pa kite pesonn tonbe nan move vis, ni pèdi respè yo dwe genyen pou bagay ki fèt pou respekte, tankou Ezaou ki te vann dwa li kòm premye pitit pou yon plat manje.
17 For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
Nou konnen ki jan pita, lè li te vle resevwa benediksyon papa li, yo te mete l' sou kote. Malgre tout kriye li te kriye bay papa a, pa t' gen mwayen chanje sa ki te fin fèt la.
18 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,
Nou pa t' pwoche bò kot yon bagay nou ka manyen tankou pèp Izrayèl la ki te pwoche bò kot Mòn Sinayi a. Sou mòn sa a te gen yon gwo dife ansanm ak yon fènwa ki pa t' piti, te gen yon bann bagay tou pou fè moun pè. Yon gwo van tanpèt t'ap soufle sou mòn lan.
19 the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,
Yo te tande son klewon k'ap kònen, ansanm ak vwa yon moun k'ap pale. Lè pitit Izrayèl yo tande vwa sa a, yo mande l' sispann pale.
20 for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.
Yo pa t' kapab sipòte lòd li te ba yo lè li te di: Menm si se yon bèt ki mete pye l' sou mòn sa a, se pou yo touye l' ak kout wòch.
21 So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
Moyiz menm, sa l' te wè devan je l' yo se te bagay terib. Se poutèt sa li te di: M'ap tranble kou fèy bwa tèlman mwen pè.
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,
Okontrè, nou pwoche bò kot Mòn Siyon an, bò kot lavil Bondye vivan an, ki vle di: Jerizalèm ki nan syèl la ansanm ak tout kantite zanj li yo.
23 to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Nou pwoche kote tout premye pitit Bondye yo sanble ak kè kontan, yo menm ki gen non yo ekri nan Liv ki nan syèl la. Nou pwoche bò kot Bondye ki gen pou jije tout moun lan, kote lespri moun ki fin bon nèt yo ye a.
24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.
Nou pwoche bò kot Jezikri, moun ki ranje nouvo kontra a, bò kote san ki koule a, yon san ki pale nou pi byen pase san Abèl la.
25 See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
Veye kò nou! Pa refize koute pawòl moun k'ap pale ak nou an. Moun ki te refize koute pawòl moun ki t'ap ba yo avètisman Bondye sou latè a, yo pa t' chape anba chatiman an. Nou pa bezwen mande si nou menm nou ka delivre si nou vire do bay moun k'ap pale ak nou antan l' nan syèl la.
26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.”
Nan tan lontan, lè Bondye te pale, tè a te tranble. Men, koulye a, li fè nou pwomès sa a: Yon lòt fwa, se pa latè a ase m'ap fè tranble. M'ap fè syèl la tranble tou.
27 This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
Lè li di yon lòt fwa li fè nou konprann lè sa a se tout bagay Bondye te kreye yo ki pral pran tranble. Yo pral disparèt. Konsa se bagay ki byen fèm yo k'ap rete.
28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
Peyi wa nou resevwa pou eritaj la pa ka brannen. Se pou nou di mèsi pou sa. Ann fè wè nou pa bliye sa li fè pou nou. Ann sèvi Bondye yon jan ki pou fè l' plezi, avèk respè, avèk krentif.
29 for our God is a consuming fire.
Paske Bondye nou an se tankou yon dife k'ap detwi tout bagay.
