1Ke tuʻumaʻu pe ʻae feʻofoʻofani fakakāinga.
1Let brotherly love continue.
2ʻOua naʻa ngalo ke fakaafe ʻae kakai muli: he kuo fakaafe ai ʻe he niʻihi ʻae kau ʻāngelo ʻi he taʻeʻilo.
2Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.
3Manatuʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku moʻua ʻi he haʻi, ʻo hangē kuo haʻisia mo kimoutolu; mo kinautolu ʻoku ngaohikoviʻi, ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou kei ʻi he sino foki.
3Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.
4Ko e fakamaʻu mali mo e mohenga taʻeʻuliʻi, ʻoku lelei ia ki he kakai kotoa pē, ka koe kau feʻauaki mo e kau tono fefine ʻe fakamaau ʻe he ʻOtua.
4Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
5Ke taʻemanumanu hoʻomou ʻulungāanga; pea mou fiemālie ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mou maʻu: he kuo pehē mai ʻe ia, “E ʻikai te u liʻaki koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ʻiate koe.”
5Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”
6Ko ia ʻoku tau lea mālohi ai, “Ko hoku tokoni ʻae ʻEiki pea ʻe ʻikai te u manavahē ki ha meʻa ʻe fai ʻe he tangata kiate au.”
6So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”
7Manatuʻi ʻa homou kau fakahinohino, ʻakinautolu naʻe leaʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu, pea faʻifaʻitaki ki heʻenau tui, ʻo fakatokanga ki he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻenau ʻulungāanga.
7Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.
8Ko Sisu Kalaisi ʻoku tatau ʻi he ʻaneafi, mo e ʻaho ni, pea taʻengata.
8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
9Ke ʻoua naʻa feʻaveʻaki fano ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ngaahi akonaki ʻoku kehekehe hono anga mo foʻou. He ko e meʻa lelei ke tuʻumaʻu ʻae loto ʻi he ʻofa; ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi meʻakai, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai ʻaonga kiate kinautolu naʻe moʻua ki ai.
9Don’t be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by foods, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.
10ʻOku ai ʻetau ʻesifeilaulau, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke kai mei ai ʻekinautolu ʻoku tauhi ʻi he fale fehikitaki.
10We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.
11Kaeʻumaʻā ia, ʻoku tutu ʻi tuaʻā kolo ʻae sino ʻoe fanga manu ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku ʻomi honau toto ʻe he taulaʻeiki lahi ki he potu tapu, koeʻuhi ko e angahala.
11For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp.
12Ko ia naʻe mamahi foki ʻa Sisu, ʻi he tuaʻā kolo, koeʻuhi ke ne fakamāʻoniʻoni ʻae kakai ʻaki hono taʻataʻa ʻoʻona.
12Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.
13Ko ia ke tau ʻalu atu kiate ia kituaʻā kolo, ʻo fua hono manuki.
13Let’s therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing his reproach.
14He ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻekitautolu ʻi heni ha kolo ʻe tuʻumaʻu, ka ʻoku tau kumi ki ha taha ʻe hoko.
14For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.
15Ko ia ke tau ʻatu ʻiate ia ʻae feilaulau ʻoe fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ʻo maʻuaipē, ʻaia ko e fua ʻoe loungutu ʻoka atu ai ʻae fakafetaʻi ki hono huafa.
15Through him, then, let’s offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.
16Ka ko e fai lelei, mo e foaki, ke ʻoua naʻa ngalo: he ko e ngaahi feilaulau pehē ʻoku leleiʻia ai ʻae ʻOtua.
16But don’t forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
17Mou talangofua kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakahinohino ʻakimoutolu, pea mou fakavaivai: he ʻoku nau leʻohi homou laumālie, he te nau fakamatala ki ai, pea koeʻuhi ke nau fai ia ʻi he fiefia, kaeʻoua naʻa ʻi he mamahi: he ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ia kiate kimoutolu.
17Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.
18Hūfia ʻakimautolu: he ʻoku mau ʻilo kuo ʻiate kimautolu ʻae ʻatamai lelei, pea ʻoku mau loto ke moʻui angatonu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
18Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.
19Ka ʻoku ou kole ke mou tokanga lahi ki ai, koeʻuhi ke tuku au ke vave kiate kimoutolu.
19I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.
20Ko eni, ko e ʻOtua ʻoe monūʻia, naʻa ne toe ʻomi mei he pekia ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu, ko e tauhi lahi ʻoe fanga sipi ʻi he taʻataʻa ʻoe fuakava taʻengata.
20Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus,
21ʻOfa ke ne ngaohi ʻakimoutolu ke mou haohaoa ʻi he ngaue lelei kotoa pē, ke fai hono finangalo, ʻo ne fai ʻiate kimoutolu ʻaia ʻoku lelei ʻi hono ʻao, ʻia Sisu Kalaisi; ke ʻiate ia ʻae ongoongolelei ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
21make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
22Pea ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, mou tali ʻae lea ʻoe akonaki ni: he kuo u tohi ʻae tohi kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi lea siʻi pe.
22But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.
23ʻOku mou ʻilo kuo mamaʻo atu hotau kāinga ko Timote; ʻa ia, ka vave ʻene haʻu, te ma mamata mo ia kiate kimoutolu.
23Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.
24ʻOfa atu kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fakahinohino ʻakimoutolu, mo e kāinga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē. ʻOku ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolu kotoa ʻakinautolu ʻi ʻItali.
24Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. The Italians greet you.
25Ke ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae ʻaloʻofa. ʻEmeni.
25Grace be with you all. Amen.
