¹Endeleeni kupendana kidugu.

¹Let brotherly love continue.

²Msisahau kuwakaribisha wageni; maana kwa kufanya hivyo watu wengine walipata kuwakaribisha malaika bila kujua.

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

³Wakumbukeni wale waliofungwa kana kwamba mmefungwa pamoja nao. Wakumbukeni wale wanaoteseka kana kwamba nanyi mnateseka kama wao.

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

⁴Ndoa inapaswa kuheshimiwa na watu wote, na haki zake zitekelezwe kwa uaminifu. Mungu atawahukumu waasherati na wazinzi.

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

⁵Msiwe watu wa kupenda fedha; toshekeni na vile vitu mlivyo navyo. Mungu mwenyewe amesema: "Sitakuacha kamwe, wala sitakutupa."

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.

⁶Ndiyo maana tunathubutu kusema: "Bwana ndiye msaada wangu, sitaogopa. Binadamu atanifanya nini?"

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

⁷wakumbukeni viongozi wenu waliowatangazieni ujumbe wa Mungu. Fikirieni juu ya mwenendo wao, mkaige imani yao.

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.

⁸Yesu Kristo ni yuleyule, jana, leo na milele.

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

⁹Msipeperushwe huku na huku kwa mafundisho tofauti ya kigeni. Neema ya Mungu ndiyo inayoimarisha roho zetu na wala si masharti juu ya chakula; masharti hayo hayakumsaidia kamwe mtu yeyote aliyeyafuata.

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.

¹⁰Sisi tunayo madhabahu ambayo wale wanaotumikia bado katika hema la Wayahudi, hawana haki ya kula vitu vyake.

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

¹¹Kuhani Mkuu wa Kiyahudi huleta damu ya wanyama katika Mahali Patakatifu na kuitoa dhabihu kwa ajili ya dhambi; lakini nyama za hao wanyama huteketezwa nje ya kambi.

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

¹²Ndiyo maana Yesu pia, kusudi apate kuwatakasa watu kwa damu yake mwenyewe, aliteswa na kufa nje ya mji.

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

¹³Basi, tumwendee huko nje ya kambi tukajitwike laana yake.

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

¹⁴Maana hapa duniani hatuna mji wa kudumu; lakini tunautafuta ule unaokuja.

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

¹⁵Basi, kwa njia ya Yesu, tumtolee Mungu dhabihu ya sifa daima, yaani sifa zinazotolewa na midomo inayoliungama jina lake.

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.

¹⁶Msisahau kutenda mema na kusaidiana, maana hizi ndizo dhabihu zinazompendeza Mungu.

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

¹⁷Watiini viongozi wenu na kushika amri zao; wao huchunga roho zenu usiku na mchana, na watatoa ripoti ya utumishi wao mbele ya Mungu. Kama mkiwatii watafanya kazi zao kwa furaha, la sivyo, watazifanya kwa huzuni, na hiyo haitakuwa na faida kwenu.

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.

¹⁸Tuombeeni na sisi. Tuna hakika kwamba tunayo dhamiri safi, maana twataka kufanya lililo sawa daima.

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

¹⁹Nawasihi sana mniombee ili Mungu anirudishe kwenu upesi iwezekanavyo.

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

²⁰Mungu amemfufua Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo ambaye ni Mchungaji Mkuu wa kondoo kwa sababu ya kumwaga damu yake iliyothibitisha agano la milele.

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,

²¹Mungu wa amani awakamilishe katika kila tendo jema ili mtekeleze mapenzi yake; yeye na afanye ndani yetu kwa njia ya Kristo yale yanayompendeza mwenyewe. Utukufu uwe kwake, milele na milele! Amina.

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.

²²Basi, ndugu, nawasihi mpokee kwa utulivu ujumbe huu wa kuwatieni moyo. Hii ni barua fupi tu ambayo nimewaandikieni.

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

²³Napenda kuwajulisheni kwamba ndugu yetu Timotheo amekwisha funguliwa gerezani. Kama akifika hapa mapema, nitakuja naye nitakapokuja kwenu.

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

²⁴Wasalimieni viongozi wenu wote pamoja na watu wa Mungu! Ndugu wa Italia wanawasalimuni.

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

²⁵Tunawatakieni nyote neema ya Mungu.

²⁵Grace be with you all. Amen.
