希伯来书 13
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
做上帝喜悦的事
13 你们要继续彼此相爱,情同手足。 2 不要忘记款待客旅,因为曾经有人接待客旅时不知不觉接待了天使。 3 要设身处地地顾念那些被囚禁的人,要感同身受地顾念那些遭遇苦难的人。
4 人人都要尊重婚姻,不可玷污夫妻关系[a],因为上帝必审判淫乱和通奸的人。
5 不要贪爱钱财,要对自己拥有的知足,因为上帝说过:
“我永不撇下你,也不离弃你。”
6 这样,我们可以放胆地说:
“主是我的帮助,
我必不惧怕,
人能把我怎么样?”
7 你们要记住从前带领你们、把上帝的道传给你们的人,留心观察他们一生如何行事为人,效法他们的信心。 8 耶稣基督昨日、今日、直到永远都不改变。 9 你们不要被五花八门的异端邪说勾引了去,因为心中得到力量是靠上帝的恩典,而不是靠饮食上的礼仪,这些礼仪从未使遵守的人受益。
10 我们有一座祭坛,坛上的祭物是那些在圣幕里工作的人没有权利吃的。 11 大祭司把祭牲的血带进圣所作为赎罪祭献上,而祭牲的身体则在营外烧掉。 12 同样,耶稣也在城门外受难,为要用自己的血使祂的子民圣洁。 13 因此,让我们也走出营外到祂那里,忍受祂所忍受的凌辱吧! 14 我们在地上没有永远的城,我们寻求的是那将来的城。
15 让我们靠着基督,常常开口以颂赞为祭献给上帝,这是承认主名的人[b]所结的果子。 16 不可忘记行善和帮补别人,因为这样的祭是上帝所喜悦的。
17 要顺服引导你们的人,因为他们为你们的灵魂时刻警醒,将来要向上帝交账。你们要听从他们,使他们满心喜乐地尽此职责,不致忧愁,否则对你们毫无益处。
18 请为我们祷告,因为我们自信良心无愧,凡事都愿意遵行正道。 19 也请你们特别为我祷告,使我能够早日回到你们那里。
祝福与问安
20 愿赐平安的上帝,就是那位凭着立永恒之约的血使群羊的大牧人——我主耶稣从死里复活的上帝, 21 在各样善事上成全你们,好使你们遵行祂的旨意,并借着主耶稣在你们心中动工,使你们做祂喜悦的事!愿荣耀归给上帝,直到永永远远。阿们!
22 弟兄姊妹,我简短地写信给你们,希望你们听我劝勉的话。 23 你们知道,我们的弟兄提摩太已经被释放了。如果他及时来到,我会与他一起去看你们。
24 请代我问候所有带领你们的人以及众圣徒。从意大利来的人也问候你们。
25 愿恩典与你们众人同在!
Hebrews 13
Expanded Bible
13 Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters. 2 ·Remember [Do not forget/neglect] to ·welcome [show hospitality to] strangers, because some who have done this have welcomed angels without knowing it [Gen. 18:1–16; 19:1–22]. 3 Remember those who are in prison as if you were in prison with them. Remember those who are ·suffering [mistreated] ·as if you were suffering with them [or since you are vulnerable to the same treatment; L being in a/the body yourselves].
4 Marriage should be honored by everyone, and ·husband and wife should keep their marriage [L the marriage bed should be kept] ·pure [undefiled]. God will ·judge as guilty [L judge] ·those who take part in sexual sins [L the sexually immoral and adulterers]. 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be ·satisfied [content] with what you have. [L For] God has said,
“I will never leave you;
I will never ·abandon [T forsake] you [Deut. 31:6].”
6 So we can be ·sure [confident; bold] when we say,
“I will not be afraid, because the Lord is my helper.
·People can’t do anything [L What can people do…?] to me [Ps. 118:6].”
7 Remember your leaders who ·taught [proclaimed; spoke] God’s ·message [word] to you. ·Remember [Consider; Reflect on] ·how they lived and died [or the outcome/result of their way of life], and ·copy [imitate] their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
9 Do not let all kinds of strange teachings ·lead you into the wrong way [take you off course; lead you astray]. ·Your hearts should be strengthened by [or Inner strength comes from] God’s grace, not by obeying rules about foods [C referring to Jewish dietary laws; Lev. 11; Mark 7:19; Acts 10; Col. 2:16], which ·do not help [or have never benefited] those who ·obey [observe; live by] them.
10 We have a ·sacrifice [L altar], but the priests who serve in the ·Holy Tent [T Tabernacle] ·cannot [L have no authority/right to] eat from it. 11 The high priest carries the blood of animals into the ·Most Holy Place [sanctuary; L holy things; T Holy of Holies] where he offers this blood for sins. But the bodies of the animals are burned outside the camp [Lev. 6:11]. 12 So Jesus also suffered outside the ·city [L gate] to ·make his people holy [sanctify the people] ·with [through] his own blood. 13 So let us go to Jesus outside the camp, ·holding on as he did when we are abused [L bearing the abuse/humiliation he bore].
14 [L For] Here on earth we do not have a city that ·lasts forever [endures], but we are ·looking for [seeking] the city that ·we will have in the future [is to come]. 15 So through Jesus let us ·always [continuously] offer to God our sacrifice of praise, ·coming from [L which is the fruit of] lips that ·speak [profess; acknowledge] his name. 16 Do not ·forget [neglect] to do good to others, and share with them, because such sacrifices please God.
17 ·Obey [or Have confidence in] your leaders and ·act under [or submit to] their authority. [L For; Because] They are watching over you, because they ·are responsible [will give an account (to God)] for ·your souls [or you]. ·Obey them [Do this; Act this way] so that they will do this work with joy, not ·sadness [or complaint; groaning], for that would be of no ·benefit [advantage; help] to you.
18 Pray for us. We are ·sure [convinced] that we have a clear conscience, ·because [or and] we always want to ·do the right thing [act honorably]. 19 I especially ·beg [urge; exhort] you to pray so that ·God will send me back [L I may be restored] to you soon.
22 My brothers and sisters, I ·beg [urge; exhort] you to ·listen patiently to [bear with] this message I have written to ·encourage [exhort] you, because ·it is not very long [L I have written to you briefly]. 23 I want you to know that our brother Timothy [Acts 16:1–5; 1 Cor. 16:10–11; Phil. 2:19–24; 1 and 2 Timothy] has been ·let out of prison [L released]. If he arrives soon, ·we will both come [he will come with me] to see you.
24 Greet all your leaders and all ·of God’s people [T the saints]. Those from Italy send greetings to you.
25 Grace be with you all.
Hebreo 13
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Paglilingkod na Nakalulugod sa Dios
13 Magpatuloy kayo sa pag-iibigan bilang magkakapatid kay Cristo. 2 Huwag ninyong kalimutang patuluyin ang mga dayuhan sa tahanan ninyo. May mga taong gumawa niyan noon, at hindi nila alam na mga anghel na pala ang mga bisita nila. 3 Damayan ninyo ang mga kapatid na nasa bilangguan na parang nakabilanggo rin kayong kasama nila, at damayan din ninyo ang mga kapatid na pinagmamalupitan na para bang dumaranas din kayo ng ganoon.
4 Dapat ninyong pahalagahan ang pag-aasawa, at dapat ninyong iwasan ang pangangalunya. Sapagkat hahatulan ng Dios ang mga nangangalunya at ang mga imoral.
5 Iwasan nʼyo ang pagiging sakim sa salapi. Maging kontento kayo sa anumang nasa inyo, sapagkat sinabi ng Dios, “Hinding-hindi ko kayo iiwan o pababayaan man.”[a] 6 Kaya buong pagtitiwalang masasabi natin,
“Ang Panginoon ang tumutulong sa akin, kaya hindi ako matatakot. Ano ang magagawa ng tao laban sa akin?”[b]
7 Alalahanin nʼyo ang mga dating namuno sa inyo na nagbahagi sa inyo ng salita ng Dios. Isipin nʼyo kung paano silang namuhay at namatay na may pananampalataya. Sila ang tularan ninyo. 8 Si Jesu-Cristo ay hindi nagbabago. Kung ano siya noon, ganoon din siya ngayon at magpakailanman. 9 Huwag kayong padadala sa kung anu-anong mga aral na iba sa natutunan ninyo. Mas mabuting patibayin natin ang ating pananampalataya sa pamamagitan ng biyaya ng Dios kaysa sa pamamagitan ng pagsunod sa mga tuntunin tungkol sa pagkain, na wala namang naidudulot sa mga sumusunod nito.
10 Tayong mga mananampalataya ay may altar, at walang karapatang makisalo rito ang mga pari ng mga Judio na naghahandog sa sambahan nila. 11 Sapagkat ang dugo ng mga hayop na handog sa paglilinis ay dinadala ng punong pari sa Pinakabanal na Lugar, pero ang katawan ng mga hayop ay sinusunog sa labas ng bayan. 12 Ganyan din ang nangyari kay Jesus, pinatay siya sa labas ng bayan para malinis niya ang mga tao sa mga kasalanan nila sa pamamagitan ng kanyang dugo. 13 Kaya lumapit tayo kay Jesus sa “labas ng bayan” at makibahagi sa mga tiniis niyang kahihiyan. 14 Sapagkat wala tayong tunay na bayan sa mundong ito, pero hinihintay natin ang bayan na paparating pa lang. 15 Kaya patuloy tayong maghandog ng papuri sa Dios sa pamamagitan ni Jesus. Itoʼy ang mga handog na nagmumula sa mga labi natin at nagpapahayag ng pagkilala natin sa kanya. 16 At huwag nating kalimutan ang paggawa ng mabuti at pagtulong sa iba, dahil ang ganitong uri ng handog ay kalugod-lugod sa Dios.
17 Sundin nʼyo ang mga namumuno sa inyo at magpasakop kayo sa kanila, dahil sila ang nangangalaga sa espiritwal ninyong kalagayan. At alam nilang may pananagutan sila sa Dios sa pangangalaga nila sa inyo. Kung susundin nʼyo sila, magiging masaya sila sa pagtupad ng tungkulin nila. Ngunit kung hindi, malulungkot sila, at hindi ito makakatulong sa inyo.
18 Ipanalangin nʼyo kami, dahil sigurado kaming malinis ang mga konsensya namin. Sapagkat hinahangad naming mamuhay nang marangal sa lahat ng bagay. 19 At lalo ninyong ipanalangin na makabalik ako sa inyo sa lalong madaling panahon. 20 Idinadalangin ko rin kayo sa Dios na siyang pinagmumulan ng kapayapaan. Siya ang bumuhay sa ating Panginoong Jesus na ating Dakilang Pastol. At dahil sa kanyang dugo, pinagtibay niya ang walang hanggang kasunduan. 21 Nawaʼy ipagkaloob niya sa inyo ang lahat ng inyong kailangan para masunod ninyo ang kalooban niya. At sa pamamagitan ni Jesu-Cristo, nawaʼy gawin niya sa atin ang kalugod-lugod sa kanyang paningin. Purihin natin siya magpakailanman. Amen.
Huling Bilin
22 Mga kapatid, nakikiusap ako sa inyo na pakinggan ninyong mabuti ang mga payo ko, dahil maikli lang ang sulat na ito. 23 Gusto ko ring malaman nʼyo na pinalaya na sa bilangguan ang kapatid nating si Timoteo. At kung makarating agad siya rito, isasama ko siya pagpunta ko riyan.
24 Ikumusta nʼyo kami sa mga namumuno sa inyo at sa lahat ng mga pinabanal[c] ng Dios. Kinukumusta kayo ng mga kapatid nating taga-Italia.
25 Pagpalain nawa kayong lahat ng Dios.
Hebrews 13
New International Version
Concluding Exhortations
13 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.(A) 2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers,(B) for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.(C) 3 Continue to remember those in prison(D) as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
4 Marriage should be honored by all,(E) and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.(F) 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money(G) and be content with what you have,(H) because God has said,
6 So we say with confidence,
7 Remember your leaders,(K) who spoke the word of God(L) to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate(M) their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.(N)
9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings.(O) It is good for our hearts to be strengthened(P) by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods,(Q) which is of no benefit to those who do so.(R) 10 We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle(S) have no right to eat.(T)
11 The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering,(U) but the bodies are burned outside the camp.(V) 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate(W) to make the people holy(X) through his own blood.(Y) 13 Let us, then, go to him(Z) outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.(AA) 14 For here we do not have an enduring city,(AB) but we are looking for the city that is to come.(AC)
15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice(AD) of praise—the fruit of lips(AE) that openly profess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others,(AF) for with such sacrifices(AG) God is pleased.
17 Have confidence in your leaders(AH) and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you(AI) as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
18 Pray for us.(AJ) We are sure that we have a clear conscience(AK) and desire to live honorably in every way. 19 I particularly urge you to pray so that I may be restored to you soon.(AL)
Benediction and Final Greetings
20 Now may the God of peace,(AM) who through the blood of the eternal covenant(AN) brought back from the dead(AO) our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,(AP) 21 equip you with everything good for doing his will,(AQ) and may he work in us(AR) what is pleasing to him,(AS) through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(AT)
22 Brothers and sisters, I urge you to bear with my word of exhortation, for in fact I have written to you quite briefly.(AU)
23 I want you to know that our brother Timothy(AV) has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.
24 Greet all your leaders(AW) and all the Lord’s people. Those from Italy(AX) send you their greetings.
25 Grace be with you all.(AY)
