< Ŵaebulania 4 >
1 Pakuŵa Akunnungu atupele chilanga cha kupochela chipumulilo, nipele tulilolechesye kuti jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe akalepela kuchipata chipumulilo cho.
Then let us fear, lest at some time, the promise to enter into his rest having been left, some of you may appear to have come short.
2 Pakuŵa nowe ŵakwe twalalichilwe Ngani Jambone kwa litala lilalila mpela iyatite pakulalichilwa kwa ŵanyawo. Nambo utenga wo nganiwakamuchisya chachili chose pakuŵa aŵala ŵaŵapilikene nganaupochela mu chikulupi.
For we truly have had the gospel preached unto us, as they did also: but the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith to those hearing.
3 Nambo uweji ŵatukulupilile tutujinjile mu chipumulilo cho mpela iŵatite kusala, “Natumbile ni nalumbile kuti ‘Ngaajinjila peuto pakupumulila pangu,’” Akunnungu ŵatite yeleyo namuno masengo go gamasile chitandile paŵagumbile chilambo.
For we who have believed, do enter into rest: as he has said, As I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: the works truly having been from the foundations of the world.
4 Pakuŵa, mu liuto line Mmalembo Gamaswela gakuti, “Akunnungu ŵalesile kupanganya masengo gao gose pa lyuŵa lya saba, ŵapumulile”
For he somewhere has spoken thus in reference to the seventh day, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.
5 Ni mu ngani jo liuto lyo likusala, “Ngaajinjila ng'o mu chilambo chachinjapa kuti apumulile.”
And in this again he has said, They shall not enter into my rest.
6 Ŵandu ŵaŵalalichilwe Ngani Jambone kundanda nganapochela chipumulilo ligongo nganaajitichisya. Namuno chilanga cho chipali chiŵela kwa ŵane kupochela.
Then since it remains that some do enter into it, and those formerly having had the gospel preached unto them did not enter in on account of unbelief,
7 Kwa ligongo lyo, Akunnungu aŵisile sooni lyuŵa lyalikuŵilanjikwa “Lelo.” Yaka yejinji yapite nombewo ŵasasile kwa litala li che Daudi nti Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti kusala, “Lelo mwapilikanaga Akunnungu ali nkuŵecheta kasinjilimbisya mitima jenu.”
again he appoints a certain day, saying in David, as has previously been said, This day, after so long a time; If you may hear his voice this day, harden not your hearts.
8 Pakuŵa ikaliji che Yoshua ŵapele ŵandu liuto lya kupumulila, Akunnungu ngaakaŵechete sooni nkati yeleyo lyuŵa line.
For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not speak concerning another day after these things.
9 Kwayele, kupali kupumulila kwa ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu mpela iŵatite pakupumulila Akunnungu pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila.
Therefore there is a sabbatism left for the people of God.
10 Pakuŵa ŵandu wose ŵakwinjila peuto pakupumulila paakupakunguluchila Akunnungu, chaleche masengo gao ni kupumulila mpela Akunnungu iŵatite pakuleka masengo gao ni kupumulila.
For the one having entered into his rest has ceased from his works, as God did from his own.
11 Nipele, tulimbichile kuchipochela chipumulilo cho, kuti akapagwa mundu mwa ŵanyamwe juchakose kwinjila mpela ila aŵala ŵaŵakanile kwitichisya.
Therefore let us hasten to enter into that rest, lest some one may fall by the same example of unbelief.
12 Pakuŵa Liloŵe lya Akunnungu lili lyejumi ni likwete machili. Likutema kupunda lipanga lyalikutema kuŵili. Sooni likupeleta mpaka munkati mwaukusimana ntima ni mbumu, iyoyo likutema ni kupeleta mpaka papakulumbikana iŵalo ni wongo wa mmaupa. Nombelyo likukombola kulamula kwa chitema maganisyo ni miningwa ja mitima ja ŵandu.
For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and a quick discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Ngapagwa chindu chachikusisikwa paujo pa Akunnungu nambo indu yose ili yeunukukwe paujo pao, ŵelewo ni ŵakulamula indu yose itutesile.
And no creature is hidden in his presence: but all things are naked and have been laid open to the eyes of him to whom the word is unto us.
14 Nipele, pakuŵa tukwete Jwambopesi Jwankulu jwakwinjila kwinani kwa Akunnungu, yaani Che Yesu Mwana jwa Akunnungu, tukamulisye kwannope chikulupi chitukuchisala.
Therefore having a great high priest, having entered into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the testimony.
15 Jwambopesi Jwankulu ni jwakutukolela chanasa kwa kulepetala kwetu. Ŵelewo ŵalinjikwe mose yalumo ni uweji nambo nganatenda sambi.
For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched with our infirmities; but one having been tempted as to all things like unto us, apart from sin.
16 Kwa ligongo lyo, tuchiŵandichile pangali woga chitengu cha ulamusi cha Akunnungu papali ni umbone, kuti tupochele chanasa ni umbone wakwe wa kutukamuchisya pa katema ka kulaga.
Therefore let us draw nigh with confidence to a throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace in every opportune need.
