Perfect in Every Good Work
1 Let brotherly love continue.
Upendano wa ndugu na udumu.
2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Msisahau kuwafadhili wageni; maana kwa njia hii wengine wamewakaribisha malaika pasipo kujua.
3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
Wakumbukeni hao waliofungwa kana kwamba mmefungwa pamoja nao; na hao wanaodhulumiwa, kwa vile ninyi nanyi mlivyo katika mwili.
4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
Ndoa na iheshimiwe na watu wote, na malazi yawe safi; kwa maana waasherati na wazinzi Mungu atawahukumia adhabu.
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Msiwe na tabia ya kupenda fedha; mwe radhi na vitu mlivyo navyo; kwa kuwa yeye mwenyewe amesema, Sitakupungukia kabisa, wala sitakuacha kabisa.
6 So that we may boldly say,
The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear
What man shall do unto me.
Hata twathubutu kusema, Bwana ndiye anisaidiaye, sitaogopa; Mwanadamu atanitenda nini?
7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
Wakumbukeni wale waliokuwa wakiwaongoza, waliowaambia neno la Mungu; tena, kwa kuuchunguza sana mwisho wa mwenendo wao, iigeni imani yao.
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Yesu Kristo ni yeye yule, jana na leo na hata milele.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
Msichukuliwe na mafundisho ya namna nyingine nyingine, na ya kigeni; maana ni vizuri moyo ufanywe imara kwa neema, wala si kwa vyakula, ambavyo wao waliokwenda navyo hawakupata faida.
10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
Tuna madhabahu ambayo wale waihudumiao ile hema hawana ruhusa kula vitu vyake.
11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
Maana wanyama wale ambao damu yao huletwa ndani ya patakatifu na kuhani mkuu kwa ajili ya dhambi, viwiliwili vyao huteketezwa nje ya kambi.
12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
Kwa ajili hii Yesu naye, ili awatakase watu kwa damu yake mwenyewe, aliteswa nje ya lango.
13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
Basi na tutoke tumwendee nje ya kambi, tukichukua shutumu lake.
14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
Maana hapa hatuna mji udumuo, bali twautafuta ule ujao.
15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
Basi, kwa njia yake yeye, na tumpe Mungu dhabihu ya sifa daima, yaani, tunda la midomo iliungamayo jina lake.
16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Lakini msisahau kutenda mema na kushirikiana; maana sadaka kama hizi ndizo zimpendezazo Mungu.
17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
Watiini wenye kuwaongoza, na kuwanyenyekea; maana wao wanakesha kwa ajili ya roho zenu, kama watu watakaotoa hesabu, ili kwamba wafanye hivyo kwa furaha wala si kwa kuugua; maana isingewafaa ninyi.
18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
Tuombeeni; maana tunaamini kwamba tuna dhamiri njema, tukitaka kuwa na mwenendo mwema katika mambo yote.
19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
Nami nawasihi zaidi sana kufanya hayo ili nirudishwe kwenu upesi.
20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Basi, Mungu wa amani aliyemleta tena kutoka kwa wafu Mchungaji Mkuu wa kondoo, kwa damu ya agano la milele, yeye Bwana wetu Yesu,
21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
awafanye ninyi kuwa wakamilifu katika kila tendo jema, mpate kuyafanya mapenzi yake, naye akifanya ndani yetu lipendezalo mbele zake, kwa Yesu Kristo; utukufu una yeye milele na milele. Amina.
22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.
Lakini nawasihi, ndugu, mchukuliane na neno hili lenye maonyo maana nimewaandikia kwa maneno machache.
23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
Jueni ya kuwa ndugu yetu Timotheo amekwisha kufunguliwa; ambaye, akija upesi, nitaonana nanyi pamoja naye.
24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
Wasalimuni wote wenye kuwaongoza, na watakatifu wote; hao walio wa Italia wanawasalimu.
25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
Written to the Hebrews from Italy by Timothy.
Neema na iwe nanyi nyote.
