Ahebri 1
1 Kale lija Mulungu ankayankhula ndi makolo athu pa nthawi zosiyanasiyana ndiponso mwa njira zosiyanasiyana kudzera mwa aneneri.
God, who formerly spoke in many portions and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets,
2 Koma masiku otsiriza ano, Mulungu wayankhula nafe kudzera mwa Mwana wake. Mwanayu anamusankha kuti akhale mwini wa zinthu zonse, ndiponso Mulungu analenga dziko lonse kudzera mwa Iye. (aiōn g165)
spoke to us in these last days by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages. (aiōn g165)
3 Mwanayo ndiye kuwala kwa ulemerero wa Mulungu, chithunzithunzi chenicheni cha khalidwe lake. Iyeyu amachirikiza zinthu zonse ndi mphamvu ya mawu ake. Iye atayeretsa anthu kuchoka ku machimo awo, anakhala pansi kumwamba kudzanja lamanja la Mulungu waulemerero.
Who, being the radiance of his glory, and the exact image of his essence, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made purification of our sins through himself, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights.
4 Mwanayu ndi wamkulu koposa angelo, monga momwe dzina limene analandira limaposa dzina la angelo.
Having become so much better than the agents, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.
5 Kodi ndi kwa mngelo uti, kumene Mulungu anati, “Iwe ndiwe mwana wanga; Ine lero ndakhala Atate ako.” Kapena kunenanso kuti, “Ine ndidzakhala abambo ake; iye adzakhala mwana wanga.”
For to which of the agents did he ever say, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee? And again, I will be to him for a Father, and he will be to me for a Son?
6 Pamene Mulungu amatuma Mwana wake woyamba kubadwa ku dziko lapansi anati, “Angelo onse a Mulungu amupembedze Iye.”
And again when he brings the firstborn into the world he says, And let all the agents of God worship him.
7 Iye ponena za angelo akuti, “Mulungu amasandutsa angelo ake mphepo, amasandutsa atumiki ake malawi amoto.”
And indeed toward the agents he says, He who makes his agents spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 Koma za Mwana wake akuti, “Inu Mulungu, mpando wanu waufumu udzakhala mpaka muyaya, ndipo mudzaweruza molungama mu ufumu wanu. (aiōn g165)
But toward the Son, Thy throne, O God, is into the age of the age. The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of straightness. (aiōn g165)
9 Mwakonda chilungamo ndi kudana ndi zoyipa; Nʼchifukwa chake, Mulungu wanu wakukwezani kuposa anzanu pokudzozani mafuta osonyeza chimwemwe.”
Thou have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Because of this, God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.
10 Mulungu akutinso, “Ambuye, pachiyambi Inu munayika maziko a dziko lapansi; ndipo zakumwambako ndi ntchito za manja anu.
And thou, Lord, at the beginnings founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
11 Zimenezi zidzatha, koma Inu ndinu wachikhalire. Izo zidzatha ngati zovala.
They will perish, but thou are permanent. And they will all become old as a garment.
12 Mudzazipindapinda ngati chofunda; ndipo zidzasinthidwa ngati chovala. Koma Inu simudzasintha, ndipo zaka zanu sizidzatha.”
And thou will roll them up as a mantle, and they will be changed. But thou are the same, and thy years will not cease.
13 Kodi ndi kwa Mngelo uti kumene Mulungu ananenapo kuti, “Khala kudzanja langa lamanja mpaka nditapanga adani ako kukhale chopondapo mapazi ako.”
But to which of the agents has he ever said, Sit thou by my right hand until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet?
14 Kodi angelo onse si mizimu yotumikira odzalandira chipulumutso?
Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth for service for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation?
