Lettera agli Ebrei 13

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Caritas fraternitatis maneat.	1 Let mutual love continue.
2 Hospitalitatem nolite obli visci; per hanc enim quidam nescientes hospitio receperunt angelos.	2 Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels.
3 Mementote vinctorum tamquam simul vincti, laborantium tamquam et ipsi in corpore morantes.	3 Be mindful of prisoners as if sharing their imprisonment, and of the ill-treated as of yourselves, for you also are in the body.
4 Honorabile conubium in omnibus, et torus immaculatus; fornicatores enim et adulteros iudicabit Deus.	4 Let marriage be honored among all and the marriage bed be kept undefiled, for God will judge the immoral and adulterers.
5 Sint mores sine avaritia; contenti praesentibus. Ipse enim dixit: “ Non te deseram neque derelinquam ”,	5 Let your life be free from love of money but be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never forsake you or abandon you."
6 ita ut confidenter dicamus: “ Dominus mihi adiutor est, non timebo; quid faciet mihi homo? ”.	6 Thus we may say with confidence: "The Lord is my helper, (and) I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?"
7 Mementote praepositorum vestrorum, qui vobis locuti sunt verbum Dei; quorum intuentes exitum conversationis, imitamini fidem.	7 Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
8 Iesus Christus heri et hodie idem, et in saecula!	8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
9 Doctrinis variis et peregrinis nolite abduci; optimum enim est gratia stabiliri cor, non escis, quae non profuerunt ambulantibus in eis.	9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teaching. It is good to have our hearts strengthened by grace and not by foods, which do not benefit those who live by them.
10 Habemus altare, de quo edere non habent potestatem, qui tabernaculo deserviunt.	10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11 Quorum enim animalium infertur sanguis pro peccato in Sancta per pontificem, horum corpora cremantur extra castra.	11 The bodies of the animals whose blood the high priest brings into the sanctuary as a sin offering are burned outside the camp.
12 Propter quod et Iesus, ut sanctificaret per suum sanguinem populum, extra portam passus est.	12 Therefore, Jesus also suffered outside the gate, to consecrate the people by his own blood.
13 Exeamus igitur ad eum extra castra, improperium eius portantes;	13 Let us then go to him outside the camp, bearing the reproach that he bore.
14 non enim habemus hic manentem civitatem, sed futuram inquirimus.	14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the one that is to come.
15 Per ipsum ergo offeramus hostiam laudis semper Deo, id est fructum labiorum confitentium nomini eius.	15 Through him (then) let us continually offer God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.
16 Beneficientiae autem et communionis nolite oblivisci; talibus enim hostiis oblectatur Deus.	16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have; God is pleased by sacrifices of that kind.
17 Oboedite praepositis vestris et subiacete eis; ipsi enim pervigilant pro animabus vestris quasi rationem reddituri, ut cum gaudio hoc faciant et non gementes; hoc enim non expedit vobis.	17 Obey your leaders and defer to them, for they keep watch over you and will have to give an account, that they may fulfill their task with joy and not with sorrow, for that would be of no advantage to you.
18 Orate pro nobis; confidimus enim quia bonam conscientiam habemus, in omnibus bene volentes conversari.	18 Pray for us, for we are confident that we have a clear conscience, wishing to act rightly in every respect.
19 Amplius autem deprecor vos hoc facere, ut quo celerius restituar vobis.	19 I especially ask for your prayers that I may be restored to you very soon.
20 Deus autem pacis, qui eduxit de mortuis pastorem magnum ovium in sanguine testamenti aeterni, Dominum nostrum Iesum,	20 May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep by the blood of the eternal covenant, Jesus our Lord,
21 aptet vos in omni bono, ut faciatis voluntatem eius, faciens in nobis, quod placeat coram se per Iesum Christum, cui gloria in saecula saeculorum. Amen.	21 furnish you with all that is good, that you may do his will. May he carry out in you what is pleasing to him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever (and ever). Amen.
22 Rogo autem vos, fratres, sufferte sermonem exhortationis; etenim perpaucis scripsi vobis.	22 Brothers, I ask you to bear with this message of encouragement, for I have written to you rather briefly.
23 Cognoscite fratrem nostrum Timotheum dimissum esse; cum quo, si celerius venerit, videbo vos.	23 I must let you know that our brother Timothy has been set free. If he comes soon, I shall see you together with him.
24 Salutate omnes praepositos vestros et omnes sanctos. Salutant vos, qui de Italia sunt.	24 Greetings to all your leaders and to all the holy ones. Those from Italy send you greetings.
25 Gratia cum omnibus vobis.	25 Grace be with all of you.
