Hebrews 13
1 Continue to love your fellow believers.
ᎠᎾᎵᏅᏟ ᏗᎨᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏅᏩᏍᏗᏗᏎᏍᏗᏉ.
2 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 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.
ᏕᏣᏅᏓᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᏗᎨᎦᎸᎢᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎢᏧᎳᎭ ᏥᏕᏣᎸᎣᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᏲ ᎢᎨᎬᎾᏕᎩ, ᎢᏨᏒᏰᏃ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎠᏰᎸ ᎢᏤᎭ.
4 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.
ᏗᏨᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏂᎥᏉ ᎠᏁᎲ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᏓᎾᏤᎲ ᎦᎳᏫᏎᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ; ᎤᏕᎵᏛᏍᎩᏂ ᏗᎾᏂᏏᎲᏍᎩ ᎠᎴ ᏗᎾᏓᏲᏁᎯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏙᏓᎫᎪᏓᏁᎵ.
5 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].
ᏕᏥᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲ ᏞᏍᏗ ᏧᎬᏩᎶᏗ ᎠᎬᎥᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏳᎵᏠᏯᏍᏕᏍᏗ; ᎠᎴ ᏰᎵᏉ ᎢᏥᏰᎵᏎᏍᏗ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎢᏥᎲᎢ; ᎯᎠᏰᏃ ᎢᏳᏪᏛ ᎢᎩ, ᎥᏝ ᎢᎸᎯᏳ ᎤᏁᎳᎩ ᏴᎦᎬᏰᎵᏏ, ᎥᏝ ᎠᎴ ᏴᎦᎬᏴᏕᎩ.
6 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].
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏂᏗᎾᏰᏍᎬᎾ ᎯᎠ ᎢᎨᎩᏪᏍᏗ, ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎠᎩᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎥᏝ ᏴᎦᏥᏍᎦᏯ ᏴᏫ ᎢᎦᎬᏋᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.
7 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].
ᏕᏣᏅᏓᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎨᏣᎦᏌᏯᏍᏗᏕᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ Ꮎ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎤᏤᎵ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎨᏥᎾᏄᎪᏫᏎᎸᎯ; ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎤᏃᎯᏳᏒ ᎢᏥᏍᏓᏩᏗᏎᏍᏗ, ᎣᏍᏛ ᎢᏣᏓᏅᏖᎯᏌᏛ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏄᏍᏛ ᏭᎵᏰᎢᎶᎸ ᏚᏂᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎸᎢ,

9 [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 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].
ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎳᏍᏗᏱ ᎢᎪᏢᎭ, ᎾᎿᎭᎥᏝ ᏱᏚᏳᎪᏗ ᎤᎾᎵᏍᏓᏴᏗᏱ ᎦᎵᏦᏛᏉ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᎠᎾᏛᏁᎯ ᏥᎩ.
11 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.
ᎠᎴᏬ ᏅᎩ ᏗᏂᏅᏌᏗ ᎤᏂᎩᎬ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᏗᎨᏒ ᏥᏫᎦᏁᏨᏍᏗᏍᎨ ᏄᎬᏫᏳᏒ ᎠᏥᎸ-ᎨᎶᎯ ᎠᏍᎦᏂ ᎠᎫᏴᏙᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏗᏂᏰᎸ ᎦᎵᏦᏛ ᏙᏱᏗᏢ ᏓᎾᎪᎲᏍᏗᏍᎨᎢ.
12 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].
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏥᏌ ᎾᏍᏉ, ᎾᏍᎩ, ᎾᏂᏍᎦᏅᎾ ᎢᏧᏩᏁᏗᏱ ᏴᏫ ᎤᏩᏒ ᎤᎩᎬ ᎬᏗᏍᎬᎢ, ᎦᎶᎯᏍᏗᏱ [ᏥᎷᏏᎵᎻ] ᏙᏱᏗᏢ ᎤᎩᎵᏲᏤᎢ.
13 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.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎢᏕᎾ ᏪᏗᎷᏥ ᎦᎵᏦᏛ ᏙᏱᏗᏢ, ᎢᎦᏠᏯᏍᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎦᏰᏥᏐᏢᏗᏍᎬᎢ;
14 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].
ᎠᏂᏰᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎠᏲᎩ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᏱᎩᏚᎭ, ᎢᎩᏲᎭᏍᎩᏂ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎤᎵᏴᎢᎶᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.
15 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].
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏳᏩᏂᏌᏛ ᏂᎪᎯᎸ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎦᎸᏉᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᏓᎵᏍᎪᎸᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏕᎩᎭᎦᎸ ᏧᎾᏄᎪᏫᏒᎯ ᎢᏓᎵᏍᎪᎸᏗᏍᎨᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏕᎤᏙᎥ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏂᏛᏁᎲ ᎡᏓᎵᎡᎵᏤᎲᎢ.
16 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 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 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 I urge you earnestly to pray that [God] will quickly remove the things that hinder my coming to you.

20 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 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 My fellow believers, I appeal to you that you patiently consider [what] I have written in this short letter, to exhort you.

23 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.
