¹Let brotherly love remain;

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

²of the hospitality be not forgetful, for through this unawares certain did entertain messengers;

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

³be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with them, of those maltreated, as also yourselves being in the body;

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

⁴honourable [is] the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge.

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

⁵Without covetousness the behaviour, being content with the things present, for He hath said, `No, I will not leave, no, nor forsake thee,`

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

⁶so that we do boldly say, `The Lord [is] to me a helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.`

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

⁷Be mindful of those leading you, who did speak to you the word of God, whose faith — considering the issue of the behaviour — be imitating,

⁸ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ትናንትና ዛሬ እስከ ለዘላለምም ያው ነው።

⁸Jesus Christ yesterday and to-day the same, and to the ages;

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

⁹with teachings manifold and strange be not carried about, for [it is] good that by grace the heart be confirmed, not with meats, in which they who were occupied were not profited;

¹⁰መሠዊያ አለን፥ ከእርሱም ሊበሉ ድንኳኒቱን የሚያገለግሉ መብት የላቸውም።

¹⁰we have an altar, of which to eat they have no authority who the tabernacle are serving,

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

¹¹for of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places through the chief priest — of these the bodies are burned without the camp.

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

¹²Wherefore, also Jesus — that he might sanctify through [his] own blood the people — without the gate did suffer;

¹³እንግዲህ ነቀፌታውን እየተሸከምን ወደ እርሱ ወደ ሰፈሩ ውጭ እንውጣ፤

¹³now, then, may we go forth unto him without the camp, his reproach bearing;

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

¹⁴for we have not here an abiding city, but the coming one we seek;

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

¹⁵through him, then, we may offer up a sacrifice of praise always to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to His name;

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

¹⁶and of doing good, and of fellowship, be not forgetful, 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።

¹⁷Be obedient to those leading you, and be subject, for these do watch for your souls, as about to give account, that with joy they may do this, and not sighing, for this [is] unprofitable to you.

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

¹⁸Pray for us, for we trust that we have a good conscience, in all things willing to behave well,

¹⁹ይልቁንም ፈጥኜ እንድመለስላችሁ ይህን ታደርጉ ዘንድ አጥብቄ እለምናችኋለሁ።

¹⁹and more abundantly do I call upon [you] to do this, that more quickly I may be restored to you.

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

²⁰And the God of the peace, who did bring up out of the dead the great shepherd of the sheep — in the blood of an age-during covenant — our Lord Jesus,

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, doing in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom [is] the glory — to the ages of the ages! Amen.

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

²²And I entreat you, brethren, suffer the word of the exhortation, for also through few words I have written to you.

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

²³Know ye that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom, if he may come more shortly, I will see you.

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

²⁴Salute all those leading you, and all the saints; salute you doth those from Italy:

²⁵ጸጋ ከሁላችሁ ጋር ይሁን፤ አሜን።

²⁵the grace [is] with you all! Amen.
