¹Let brotherly love continue.

¹የወንድማማች መዋደድ ይኑር። እንግዶችን መቀበል አትርሱ፤ በዚህ አንዳንዶች ሳያውቁ መላእክትን እንግድነት ተቀብለዋልና።

²Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

³ከእነርሱ ጋር እንደ ታሰረ ሆናችሁ እስሮችን አስቡ፥ የተጨነቁትንም ራሳችሁ ደግሞ በሥጋ እንዳለ ሆናችሁ አስቡ።

³Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

⁴መጋባት በሁሉ ዘንድ ክቡር መኝታውም ንጹሕ ይሁን፤ ሴሰኞችንና አመንዝሮችን ግን እግዚአብሔር ይፈርድባቸዋል።

⁴Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

⁵አካሄዳችሁ ገንዘብን ያለ መውደድ ይሁን፥ ያላችሁም ይብቃችሁ፤ እርሱ ራሱ። አልለቅህም ከቶም አልተውህም ብሎአልና፤

⁵Let 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.

⁶ስለዚህ በድፍረት። ጌታ ይረዳኛልና አልፈራም፤ ሰው ምን ያደርገኛል? እንላለን።

⁶So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

⁷የእግዚአብሔርን ቃል የተናገሩአችሁን ዋኖቻችሁን አስቡ፥ የኑሮአቸውንም ፍሬ እየተመለከታችሁ በእምነታቸው ምሰሉአቸው።

⁷Remember 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.

⁸ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ትናንትና ዛሬ እስከ ለዘላለምም ያው ነው።

⁸Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

⁹ልዩ ልዩ ዓይነት በሆነ በእንግዳ ትምህርት አትወሰዱ፤ ልባችሁ በጸጋ ቢጸና መልካም ነው እንጂ በመብል አይደለም፤ በዚህ የሚሠሩባት አልተጠቀሙምና።

⁹Be 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.

¹⁰መሠዊያ አለን፥ ከእርሱም ሊበሉ ድንኳኒቱን የሚያገለግሉ መብት የላቸውም።

¹⁰We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

¹¹ሊቀ ካህናት ስለ ኃጢአት ወደ ቅድስት የእንስሶችን ደም ያቀርባልና፤ ሥጋቸው ግን ከሰፈሩ ውጭ ይቃጠላል።

¹¹For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.

¹²ስለዚህ ኢየሱስ ደግሞ በገዛ ደሙ ሕዝቡን እንዲቀድስ ከበር ውጭ መከራን ተቀበለ።

¹²Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

¹³እንግዲህ ነቀፌታውን እየተሸከምን ወደ እርሱ ወደ ሰፈሩ ውጭ እንውጣ፤

¹³Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

¹⁴በዚህ የምትኖር ከተማ የለችንምና፥ ነገር ግን ትመጣ ዘንድ ያላትን እንፈልጋለን።

¹⁴For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

¹⁵እንግዲህ ዘወትር ለእግዚአብሔር የምስጋናን መሥዋዕት፥ ማለት ለስሙ የሚመሰክሩ የከንፈሮችን ፍሬ፥ በእርሱ እናቅርብለት።

¹⁵By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

¹⁶ነገር ግን መልካም ማድረግን ለሌሎችም ማካፈልን አትርሱ፤ እንዲህ ያለው መሥዋዕት እግዚአብሔርን ደስ ያሰኘዋልና።

¹⁶But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

¹⁷ለዋኖቻችሁ ታዘዙና ተገዙ፤ እነርሱ ስሌትን እንደሚሰጡ አድርገው፥ ይህንኑ በደስታ እንጂ በኃዘን እንዳያደርጉት፥ ይህ የማይጠቅማችሁ ነበርና፥ ስለ ነፍሳችሁ ይተጋሉ።

¹⁷Obey 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.

¹⁸ጸልዩልን፤ በነገር ሁሉ በመልካም እንድንኖር ወደን፥ መልካም ሕሊና እንዳለን ተረድተናልና።

¹⁸Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

¹⁹ይልቁንም ፈጥኜ እንድመለስላችሁ ይህን ታደርጉ ዘንድ አጥብቄ እለምናችኋለሁ።

¹⁹But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

²⁰በዘላለም ኪዳን ደም ለበጎች ትልቅ እረኛ የሆነውን ጌታችንን ኢየሱስን ከሙታን ያወጣው የሰላም አምላክ፥

²⁰Now 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,

²¹በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ በኩል በፊቱ ደስ የሚያሰኘውን በእናንተ እያደረገ፥ ፈቃዱን ታደርጉ ዘንድ በመልካም ሥራ ሁሉ ፍጹማን ያድርጋችሁ፤ ለእርሱ እስከ ዘላለም ድረስ ክብር ይሁን፤ አሜን።

²¹Make 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.

²²ወንድሞች ሆይ፥ የምክርን ቃል እንድትታገሡ እመክራችኋለሁ፥ በጥቂት ቃል ጽፌላችኋለሁና።

²²And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.

²³ወንድማችን ጢሞቴዎስ እንደ ተፈታ እወቁ፥ ቶሎ ብሎም ቢመጣ ከእርሱ ጋር አያችኋለሁ።

²³Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

²⁴ለዋኖቻችሁ ሁሉና ለቅዱሳን ሁሉ ሰላምታ አቅርቡልኝ። ከኢጣልያ የሆኑቱ ሰላምታ ያቀርቡላችኋል።

²⁴Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

²⁵ጸጋ ከሁላችሁ ጋር ይሁን፤ አሜን።

²⁵Grace be with you all. Amen.
