Ŵaebulania 12
1 Nipele, uweji tukwete mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵaumboni wanti nyi waukutusyungula, kwayele tutyosye indu yose yaikutusiŵilila, ni sambi syasikutukamulila kwa chitema. Tuutuche pangapwa ntima mu luwilo lwaluli paujo petu.
Wherefore, seeing we also are encompassed with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Twalole Che Yesu jwachitandisye chikulupi chetu, jwelejo ni juchachimalichisye. Kwa liwamba lya lukondwa lulwaliji paujo pao, jwelejo jwapililile kuwa pa nsalaba, namose chaliji chindu cha soni. Ni sambano akutama kunlyo kwa chitengu cha umwenye cha Akunnungu.
Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Mwaganichisye kwannope Che Yesu, juŵapililile nkukanilwa kwekulungwa kutyochela kwa ŵandu ŵa sambi. Nipele nkapela namose kupwa ntima.
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Pakuŵa, mkulimbana ni sambi nganimme kuputana mpaka kuwa.
Ye have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
5 Sooni ana nliŵalile agala maloŵe ga kuntusya ntima gakusala Akunnungu? “Mwanangu nkanyelusya Ambuje pakunjamuka, namuno nkapwa ntima pakunkalipila.
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh to you as to children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked by him:
6 Pakuŵa Ambuje akunjamuka jwalijose jwakunnonyela, ni kumputa jwalijose jwakunkunda kuŵa mwanagwe.”
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 Mpililile kujamukwa pakuŵa gali majiganyo. Akunnungu akuntendela ŵanyamwe nti ŵanache ŵakwe, pakuŵa ana mwanache jwapi jwangakujamukwa ni atatigwe?
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons: for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 Iŵaga ngankwamukwa ni Akunnungu chisau achiŵanagwe wose yakuti pakwamukwa, ŵanyamwe nganimma ŵanache ŵausyene ŵa Akunnungu, mmele ŵanache ŵa kuichila.
But if ye are without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons.
9 Sooni, iŵaga achatati ŵetu ŵa chiilu ŵaŵatuŵeleche, paŵatujamwiche uwe twaachimbichisye, ana ngati tukusachilwa kulitulusya nnope kwa Atati ŵetu ŵa kwinani kuti tutame?
Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
10 Achatati ŵaŵatuŵeleche ŵatujamwiche mmoŵa kanandi mpela iŵatite kuwona ili yambone achinsyene. Nambo Akunnungu akutujamuka kwa ligongo lya kutukamusya, akutenda yeleyo kuti tutendekwe ŵaswela mpela asyene.
For they verily for a few days chastened [us] after their own pleasure; but he for [our] profit, that [we] might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Pakukutyochela kwamukwa ngakukuŵa kwakusengwasya, nambo kukusupusya. Nambo kumbesi kwa aŵala ŵaŵajiganyikwe ni kwamukwa ko, kukwapa ukombole wa kupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu ni utame wa chitendewele.
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them who are exercised by it.
12 Kwayele ngalimbisye makono genu ni malungo genu gagapesile.
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 Njendelechele kwenda mmatala gagoloka kuti chindu chachilemele chikatininguka nambo chilame.
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14 Nlimbile kutama kwa chitendewele ni ŵandu wose, sooni ntame kwa uswela pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu juchiŵawone Ambuje iŵaga mundu jo nganaŵa jwanswela.
Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Nlilolechesye chenene, kuti jwalijose akasausoyasya upile wa Akunnungu, nlilolechesye kuti mundu akaŵa mpela chitela chakuŵaŵa pasikati jenu ni kwika nago malagasyo, ni kuujonanga umi wa ŵandu ŵajinji.
Looking diligently, lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up, trouble [you], and by it many be defiled;
16 Akapagwa jwachigwagwa, pane mundu jwangaajogopa Akunnungu mpela a Esau, jwakujasile kupagwa kwakwe kwaandanda kwa chakulya chimo.
Lest there [be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birth-right.
17 Pakuŵa nkumanyililanga kuti namuno kanyuma paŵasosile sooni kuupochela upile wakwe kutyochela kwa atatigwe ŵakanilwe. Pakuŵa nganapata lipesa lya kuleka sambi ni kugagalausya gaŵatesile, namuno ŵasosile nnope kwa misosi.
For ye know that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
18 Ŵanyamwe ngininnyika ku chitumbi cha Sinai mpela iŵatite kuchiichilila ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli. Chitumbi chikukomboleka kuchikwaya chili nkukolela mooto, pa chipi, ni kusona kwakukulungwa kwa chimbunga,
For ye are not come to the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor to blackness, and to darkness, and tempest,
19 ni lisegwe lya lipenga, ni liloŵe lininkuŵecheta maloŵe. Aŵala ŵaŵapilikene usone wo ŵachondelele Akunnungu kuti akakunguluka nawo sooni,
And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which [voice] they that heard, entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 pakuŵa nganakombola kupililila lilajisyo lilyatyochekwe lyalikuti, “Juchakwaye chitumbi chi namose chiŵe chinyama, chaponyekwe maganga.”
(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 Ni indu iyaoneche yo yaliji yakogoya nnope, namose che Musa ŵatite, “Ngogopa ni kutetemela.”
And so terrible was the sight, [that] Moses said, I exceedingly fear and tremble: )
22 Nambo ŵanyamwe nkuichilile ku chikwesya cha Sayuni, ni ku musi wa Akunnungu ŵajumi, nnyiche Yelusalemu wa kwinani kwakusongangene achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵangakuŵalanjikwa, ŵakusangalala.
But ye are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 Nnyiche ku mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵaali ŵandanda kupagwa wa Akunnungu ni meena gao galembekwe kwinani. Nnyiche paujo pa Akunnungu jwali jwakulamula jwa ŵandu wose, ni paujo pa mbumu sya ŵandu ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu ŵatendekwe ŵamalilwe.
To the general assembly and church of the first-born, who are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 Nnyiche ku Che Yesu jwakwilanya jwa lilangano lya sambano ni ku miasi jakwe jajijitiche jajikuŵecheta yambone kupunda miasi ji che Habili.
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than [that of] Abel.
25 Nipele, nlilolechesye kuti nkakana kumpilikanila jwelejo jwakuŵecheta nomwe. Mpela aŵala Ŵaisilaeli ŵaŵakanile kumpilikanila che Musa, juŵaasalilaga utenga kutyoka kwa Akunnungu paŵaliji pachilambo pano nganakulupuka. Isyene, uweji ngatukombola kukulupuka iŵaga tukukana kumpilikanila jwelejo jwakutusalila utenga kutyochela kwinani.
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven:
26 Katema Akunnungu paŵaŵechete pa chitumbi cha Sinai ŵachitenganyisye chilambo, nambo sambano alanjile kuti, “Chinachitenganye chilambo ni ngaŵa chilambo pe nambo kwinani nombe nako.”
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 Liloŵe li “Sooni” likutulosya kuti indu yose yepanganyikwe chiitenganikwe ni kutyosyekwa, kuti indu yangaikukomboleka kutenganyikwa isigalile.
And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Kwayele, pakuŵa tukupochela umwenye wangatenganyika, twatogolele kwa woga ni kwa kwapopelela Akunnungu, kwa litala lichilyanonyelesye ni kwa kulitulusya ni kwapopelela,
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear.
29 pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵetu ali mooto waukutinisya.
For our God [is] a consuming fire.
