Ahebri 9
1 Pangano loyamba lija linali ndi malamulo okhudza chipembedzo, ndi malo opembedzeramo omangidwa ndi anthu.
Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.
2 Anthu ankamanga chihema. Mʼchipinda choyamba munali choyikapo nyale, tebulo ndi buledi woperekedwa kwa Mulungu. Chipinda chimenechi chinkatchedwa Malo Opatulika.
For a tabernacle was prepared. The first room, in which were the lampstand, the table, and the bread of the presence, was called the holy place.
3 Kuseri kwa chinsalu chotchinga chachiwiri kunkatchedwa Malo Opatulika kwambiri.
Behind the second curtain was another room, called the most holy place.
4 Mʼmenemo munali guwa lansembe lagolide lofukizirapo lubani. Munalinso Bokosi la Chipangano lokutidwa ndi golide. Mʼbokosimo munali mʼphika wagolide mʼmene ankasungiramo mana ndi ndodo ya Aaroni imene inaphuka ija, ndiponso miyala ya pangano.
It had a golden altar for incense. It also had the ark of the covenant, which was completely overlaid with gold. Inside it was a golden jar holding the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.
5 Pamwamba pa bokosilo panali zifanizo za angelo otchedwa akerubi aulemerero, ataphimba chivundikiro cha bokosilo chimene chinali malo okhululukirapo machimo. Koma nʼzosatheka tsopano kufotokoza zinthu mwatsatanetsatane.
Above the ark of the covenant, glorious cherubim overshadowed the atonement lid, which we cannot now talk about in detail.
6 Zinthu zonsezi zitakonzedwa, ansembe ankalowamo mʼchipinda choyamba chija nthawi ndi nthawi kumatumikiramo.
After these things were prepared, the priests always entered the outer room of the tabernacle to perform their services.
7 Koma Mkulu wa ansembe yekha ndiye ankalowa chipinda chachiwiri chija kamodzi kokha pa chaka. Iye sankalowamo wopanda magazi. Magaziwo ankapereka nsembe kwa Mulungu chifukwa cha iye mwini ndiponso chifukwa cha machimo a anthu amene ankachita mosazindikira.
But only the high priest entered the second room once each year, and not without blood that he offered for himself and for the people's unintentional sins.
8 Mwa njira imeneyi Mzimu Woyera ankaonetsa kuti njira yolowera ku malo opatulika inali isanaonetsedwe pamene Chihema choyamba chinali chilipo.
The Holy Spirit showed that the way into the most holy place had not yet appeared as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.
9 Zimenezi nʼzofanizira chabe, ndipo zinkalozera nthawi ino, kusonyeza kuti mphatso ndi nsembe zimene zinkaperekedwa sizinkachotsa chikumbumtima cha wopembedzayo.
This was an illustration for the present time. Both the gifts and sacrifices that are now being offered are not able to perfect the worshiper's conscience.
10 Inali nkhani ya zakudya, ya zakumwa ndi ya miyambo yosiyanasiyana ya masambidwe. Anali malamulo akunja kokha mpaka pa nthawi imene anakonzanso zonse mwatsopano.
They are only concerned with food and drink and various ceremonial washings, regulations for the body until the time of the new order.
11 Koma Khristu atafika monga Mkulu wa ansembe wa zinthu zokoma zimene zilipo tsopano, Iye analowa mʼChihema chachikulu ndiponso changwiro chimene sichinamangidwe ndi munthu, ndiye kuti sichili pansi pano.
Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come. He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that was not made by human hands, one not belonging to this created world.
12 Iye sanalowemo ndi magazi ambuzi yayimuna, ana angʼombe amphongo, koma analowa Malo Opatulika kamodzi kokha ndi magazi ake, atatikonzera chipulumutso chosatha. (aiōnios g166)
It was not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood that he entered into the most holy place once for all and secured our eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)
13 Ngati magazi ambuzi yayimuna, angʼombe yayimuna ndi phulusa la mwana wangʼombe wamkazi zimati zikawazidwa pa odetsedwa zimawayeretsa kotero kuti amakhala oyeretsedwa ku thupi,
For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a heifer's ashes on those who have become unclean sets them apart to God for the cleansing of their flesh,
14 nʼkoposa kotani magazi a Khristu, amene mwa Mzimu wamuyaya anadzipereka yekha kwa Mulungu kukhala nsembe yopanda chilema. Iye adzayeretsa chikumbumtima chathu pochotsa ntchito za imfa, kuti ife titumikire Mulungu wamoyo. (aiōnios g166)
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios g166)
15 Pa chifukwa chimenechi Khristu ndi mʼkhalapakati wa pangano latsopano, kuti iwo amene anayitanidwa alandire chuma chamuyaya, pakuti Iye tsopano anafa ngati dipo lomasula iwo ku machimo amene anachita ali pansi pa pangano loyamba lija. (aiōnios g166)
For this reason, he is the mediator of a new covenant. This is so that, since a death has taken place to free those under the first covenant from their sins, those who are called will receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)
16 Ngati munthu alemba pangano losiyira ena chuma, pafunika kutsimikiza kuti wolemba panganolo wamwaliradi,
For where there is a will, the death of the person who made it must be proven.
17 chifukwa pangano lotere limakhala ndi mphamvu ngati wolembayo wamwalira. Siligwira ntchito pamene wolembayo ali ndi moyo.
For a will is only in force when there has been a death, because it has no force while the one who made it is still alive.
18 Nʼchifukwa chake pangano loyamba lija silinachitike popanda kukhetsa magazi.
So not even the first covenant was established without blood.
19 Mose atawawuza anthu onse malamulo, anatenga magazi a ana angʼombe amphongo ndi ambuzi yayimuna pamodzi ndi madzi, ubweya wofiira ndiponso chitsamba chotchedwa hisope, ndi kuwaza pa buku ndi anthu onse.
For when Moses had given every command in the law to all the people, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water, red wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people.
20 Iye anati, “Awa ndi magazi a pangano limene Mulungu wakulamulirani kuti mulisunge.”
Then he said, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded for you.”
21 Momwemonso Mose anawaza magazi pa Chihema chija ndiponso pa zipangizo zonse zogwiritsa ntchito pa chipembedzo.
In the same manner, he sprinkled the blood on the tabernacle and all the containers used in the service.
22 Monga mwa malamulo titha kunena kuti, pafupifupi zinthu zonse zimayeretsedwa ndi magazi ndipo popanda kukhetsa magazi palibe kukhululukidwa machimo.
According to the law, almost everything is cleansed with blood. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
23 Tsono panafunika kuti zinthu zingofanizira zenizeni za kumwamba, ziyeretsedwe ndi nsembe zimenezi, koma zinthu za kumwamba zenizenizo kuti ziyeretsedwe panafunika nsembe zina zoposa zimenezo.
Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in heaven should be cleansed with these animal sacrifices. However, the heavenly things themselves had to be cleansed with much better sacrifices.
24 Pakuti Khristu sanalowe mʼmalo opatulika omangidwa ndi anthu amene anali chifaniziro cha malo enieniwo. Iye analowa kumwamba kwenikweniko kuti azionekera pamaso pa Mulungu chifukwa cha ife.
For Christ did not enter into the most holy place made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one. Instead he entered into heaven itself, to appear now in God's presence for us.
25 Iye sanalowe kumwamba kuti azikadziperekanso nsembe kachiwiri monga momwe mkulu wa ansembe ankachitira chaka ndi chaka ku Malo Opatulika kwambiri ndi magazi amene sanali ake.
He did not go there in order to offer himself many times, as does the high priest, who enters the most holy place year by year with the blood of another.
26 Zikanatero bwenzi Khristu atamva zowawa kambirimbiri chilengedwere cha dziko lapansi. Koma tsopano anaoneka kamodzi kokha chifukwa cha onse pa nthawi yotsiriza kuti achotse tchimo podzipereka yekha nsembe. (aiōn g165)
If that had been the case, then he would have had to suffer many times since the beginning of the world. But now he has appeared at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)
27 Popeza kunayikika kwa munthu kufa kamodzi ndipo kenaka kuweruzidwa,
Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that comes judgment,
28 momwemonso Khristu anadzipereka nsembe kamodzi kokha kuchotsa machimo a anthu ambiri. Ndipo Iye adzaonekanso kachiwiri, osati kudzachotsa tchimo, koma kudzapereka chipulumutso kwa amene akumudikira.
so also, Christ was offered once to take away the sins of many, and will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but for the salvation of those who are waiting for him.
