Ebre 13
1 Se pou nou toujou yonn renmen lòt tankou frè k'ap viv ansanm nan Kris la.
Let your love for the Lord’s followers continue.
2 Chonje se devwa nou pou nou byen resevwa moun ki vin lakay nou. Se konsa, gen moun ki resevwa zanj Bondye lakay yo san yo pa konn sa.
Do not neglect to show hospitality; for, through being hospitable, people have all unawares entertained angels.
3 Pa bliye moun ki nan prizon yo, tankou si nou menm tou nou te nan prizon ansanm ak yo. Pa bliye moun y'ap maltrete yo, paske nou menm tou nou gen yon kò.
Remember the prisoners, as if you were their fellow prisoners, and the oppressed, not forgetting that you also are still in the body.
4 Maryaj se yon bagay tout moun dwe respekte anpil. Moun ki marye yo dwe rete fidèl yonn ak lòt. Bondye gen pou jije moun k'ap mennen movèz vi yo ansanm ak moun k'ap fè adiltè yo.
Let marriage be honoured by all and the married life be pure; for God will judge those who are immoral and those who commit adultery.
5 Pa kite renmen lajan pran nanm nou. Se pou nou kontan ak sa nou genyen. Paske Bondye te di: Mwen p'ap janm vire do ba ou, mwen p'ap janm lage ou.
Do not let your conduct be ruled by the love of money. Be content with what you have, for God himself has said – “I will never forsake you, nor will I ever abandon you.”
6 Konsa, nou kapab di avèk konfyans: Se Bondye k'ap vin ede mwen. Mwen pa pè anyen. Kisa moun ka fè mwen?
Therefore we may say with confidence – “The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can mere people do to me?”
7 Pa bliye moun ki te konn dirije nou yo, moun ki te fè nou konnen pawòl Bondye a. Egzaminen jan yo te viv, jan yo te mouri. Pran egzanp sou konfyans yo.
Do not forget your leaders, who told you God’s message. Recall the close of their lives, and imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today – yes, and for ever! (aiōn g165)
9 Pa kite tout kalite lòt pawòl moun ap moutre yo fè nou pèdi bon chemen an. Li pi bon pou kè nou lè fòs nou pa soti nan sa nou manje ak sa nou pa manje, men nan renmen Bondye gen pou nou an. Paske moun k'ap gade sou manje pa janm jwenn okenn benefis.
Do not let yourselves be carried away by the various novel forms of teaching. It is better to rely for spiritual strength on the divine help, than on regulations regarding food; for those whose lives are guided by such regulations have not found them of service.
10 Nou gen yon lotèl ki pa nou. Prèt k'ap sèvi nan tanp jwif yo pa gen dwa manje nan vyann ofrann bèt nou fè sou lotèl sa a.
We are not without an altar; but it is one at which those who still worship in the tent have no right to eat.
11 Lè y'ap fè ofrann bèt pou touye pou peche yo, se san an ase granprèt jwif la pote pou ofri nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a. Men, yo boule kò bèt yo lòt bò pòtay lakou kote moun yo rete a.
The bodies of those animals whose blood is brought by the high priest into the sanctuary, as an offering for sin, are burnt outside the camp.
12 Se poutèt sa, Jezi te mouri lòt bò pòtay lavil la, pou l' te ka mete pèp la nan kondisyon pou yo fè sèvis Bondye ak pwòp san pa li ki te koule.
And so Jesus, also, to purify the people by his own blood, suffered outside the gate.
13 Nou menm tou, ann soti al jwenn li lòt bò pòtay lakou a pou n' soufri menm wont la ansanm ak li.
Therefore let us go out to him “outside the camp,” bearing the same reproaches as he;
14 Paske nou pa gen sou latè yon lavil ki la pou tout tan. N'ap chache lavil ki gen pou vini an.
for here we have no permanent city, but are looking for the city that is to be.
15 Gremesi Jezikri, sèl ofrann san n'ap ofri bay Bondye a, se lwanj n'ap ba li tout tan. Se tout tan pou non l' nan bouch nou.
Through him let us offer, as our sacrifice, continual praise to God – an offering from lips that glorify his name.
16 Pa bliye, se pou nou fè sa ki byen, se pou nou yonn ede lòt. Se ofrann konsa ki fè Bondye plezi.
Never forget to do kindly acts and to share what you have with others, for such sacrifices are acceptable to God.
17 Obeyi chèf nou yo, soumèt devan yo. Se tout tan y'ap veye sou nanm nou paske yo gen pou yo rann Bondye kont pou travay yo. Si nou obeyi yo, y'a fè travay yo ak kè kontan. Men, si nou pa obeyi yo, y'a fè l' ak kè sere. Lè sa a, p'ap gen okenn avantaj pou nou.
Obey your leaders, and submit to their control, for they are watching over your souls, since they will have to render an account, so that they may do it with joy, and not in sorrow. That would not be to your advantage.
18 Pa sispann lapriyè pou mwen. Mwen sèten mwen gen konsyans mwen anpè. Paske mwen vle fè sa ki byen nan tout sikonstans.
Pray for us, for we are sure that our consciences are clear, since our wish is to be occupied with what is good.
19 M'ap mande nou pou nou lapriyè toutespre pou Bondye ban m' okazyon tounen vin jwenn nou anvan lontan.
And I the more earnestly ask for your prayers, so that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 Men sa m'ap mande Bondye pou nou, li menm ki te fè Jezi, Gran Gadò mouton yo, leve soti vivan pami mò yo. Jezi se Seyè nou an ki te mouri pou l' te ka siyen kontra ki la pou tout tan an ak san li. (aiōnios g166)
May God, the source of all peace, who brought back from the dead him who, “by virtue of the blood that rendered valid the unchangeable covenant, is the great shepherd of God’s Sheep,” Jesus, our Lord – (aiōnios g166)
21 M'ap mande Bondye ki bay kè poze a pou l' fè nou favè sa a, pou nou fè tou sa ki byen, pou n' kapab fè volonte li. M'ap mande l' tou pou l' fè travay ki fè l' plezi nan nou, gremesi Jezikri. Tout lwanj lan pou Jezikri pou tout tan tout tan. Amèn. (aiōn g165)
may God make you perfect in everything that is good, so that you may be able to do his will. May he bring out in us all that is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be all glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 Tanpri, frè m' yo, m'ap mande nou pou nou koute pawòl ankourajman sa yo ak pasyans, paske sa m' di nan lèt mwen ekri nou an pa long.
I beg you, friends, to bear with these words of advice. For I have written only very briefly to you.
23 Mwen vle fè nou konnen yo gen tan lage Timote, frè nou an. Si li rive bònè, m'a pran l' avè m' lè m'ap vin wè nou.
You will be glad to hear that our friend, Timothy, has been set free. If he comes here soon, we will visit you together.
24 Di tout moun k'ap dirije nou yo bonjou ansanm ak tout pèp Bondye a. Tout frè ki nan peyi Itali yo voye bonjou pou nou tout.
Give our greeting to all your leaders, and to all Christ’s people. Our friends from Italy send their greetings to you.
25 benediksyon Bondye avèk nou tout. Amèn.
May God bless you all.
