Hebrews 13

13 ¹Make di love wey una get for una sef like family continue. ²No forget to dey welcome strangers well well; na through am some people don host angels wey dem no even know. ³Remember dem wey dey for prison as if na together una dey chained, and dem wey people dey treat bad, since una too dey inside body. ⁴Make everybody honor marriage, and make di marriage bed stay clean—our Papa go judge dem wey dey do sexual dirty ting and dem wey dey commit adultery.

⁵No make money-love enter una life; make wetin una get satisfy una, because our Papa imsef don talk say, “I no go ever leave you, I no go ever abandon you.”

⁶So we dey talk with confidence say: Our Papa na my helper; I no go fear. Wetin person fit do me? ^a a v6 Di writer dey quote Psalm 118:6 — di cry of trust wey every Covenant pikin wey don find our Papa as im helper dey talk.

⁷Remember una leaders wey talk our Papa word give una. Look di way dia life end, and follow dia faith do. ⁸Jesus Christ be di same yesterday, today, and forever. ⁹No make strange, different-different teaching carry una comot. E good make grace strong una heart, no be food—dem wey dey live by am no gain anytin. ¹⁰We get one altar wey dem wey dey serve for di tent no get right to chop from. ¹¹Because di bodies of di animals wey di high priest dey carry dia blood enter di holy place for sin, na outside di camp dem dey burn dem. ¹²So Jesus too suffer outside di gate, so dat e fit make di people holy through im own blood. ¹³Nabecause of dis, make we comot go meet am outside di camp, dey carry di shame wey e bear. ¹⁴Because for here we no get city wey go last, but we dey find di city wey dey come.

¹⁵So then, through am, make we dey always offer our Papa sacrifice of praise—di fruit of lips wey dey confess im name. ¹⁶No forget to dey do good and to share wetin una get—na dat kind sacrifice dey make our Papa happy.

¹⁷Obey una leaders and submit una sef to dem—dem dey watch over una soul, since na dem go answer for una. Make dem do dis one with joy, no be with groaning, because dat one no go profit una anytin.

¹⁸Pray for us, since we sure say our conscience clean, and we wan do di correct-and-holy way for everytin. ¹⁹I dey beg una even more to do dis, so dat dem fit bring me back give una quick quick.

²⁰Make our Papa of peace, wey raise our Oga Jesus—di great Shepherd of di sheep—from dead through di blood of di Covenant wey no dey end, ^b b v20 Our Papa raise Jesus from dead and make am di great Shepherd of im sheep — di same Shepherd wey talk say, “Na me be di good shepherd” (John 10:11). Di Papa and di Pikin together dey gather and dey keep di flock. ²¹make am complete una for every good ting to do im will, dey work inside us wetin dey please am through Jesus Christ, wey glory belong to am forever and ever. Amen.

²²My brodas and sistas, I dey beg una make una bear with dis word of encouragement—na small tin I write. ²³Make una know say dem don release our broda Timothy; if e come quick, I go come see una with am.

²⁴Greet all una leaders and all di saints. Dem wey dey from Italy dey greet una.

²⁵Make grace dey with una all. Amen.
