Ŵaebulania 8
1 Nipele, chindu chachili chekulungwa mu indu itukusala yi chili achi, tukwete Jwambopesi Jwankulu jwati nnyi, jwatemi peuto pakuchimbichikwa kunlyo kwa chitengu cha umwenye cha Akunnungu kwinani.
NOW of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 Ŵelewo akupanganya masengo ga umbopesi peuto papaswela nnope, malumbo gakwe munkati mwa lisakasa lya usyene lya Akunnungu lyalitaŵikwe ni Ambuje, ni ngaŵa lyalitaŵikwe ni mundu.
A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 Jwambopesi Jwankulu jwalijose asagulikwe kutyosya mbopesi ni sadaka. Kwayele, ni jwambopesi jwankulu jwetu nombejo akusachilwa akole chindu chakwatyochesya Akunnungu.
For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4 Nambo akaapali pachilambo pano, ngakatendekwe Jwambopesi ng'o, ligongo apali ŵambopesi ŵane ŵakutyosya mbopesi malinga ni yaikuti kulajiswa mu Malajisyo ga che Musa.
For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 Masengo gao ga umbopesi gali chisyasyo ni mbwilili wa aila yaili kwinani. Pakuŵa che Musa paŵaŵandichile kulitaŵa lisakasa lya Akunnungu lila, Akunnungu ŵansalile kuti, “Nlole, mpanganyeje indu yose mpela chisyasyo chimwatite pakuloswa pamwaliji petumbi.”
Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
6 Nambo sambano Che Yesu apochele masengo ga umbopesi gagali gambone kupunda ga ŵanyawo, pakuŵa lilangano lya kwilanya lyaŵisile pasikati ja Akunnungu ni ŵandu lili lyambone kupunda, pakuŵa lijimi pa lilangano lyambone nnope lya Akunnungu.
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7 Naga lilangano lyaandanda likaliji lyangali chileŵo ngalikasachilwe lilangano line.
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 Nambo Akunnungu ŵakuweni kuleŵa kwao paŵatite, “Nlole gakwika moŵa, Ambuje akuti gatinjitaŵa lilangano lyasambano pasikati ja ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli ni ŵandu ŵa ku Yuda.
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Lilangano li ngaliŵa yalumo ni lilangano linataŵile ni achambuje ŵao pa lyuŵa linaalongwesye kwa kwakamula makono gao akopoche mu chilambo cha Misili. Pakuŵa nganakulupilichika mu lilangano lyangu noneji naalesile kwagosa, akuti Ambuje.
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 Sambano alili ni lilangano lichingataŵe ni ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli, pa moŵa go, akuti Ambuje. Chingagaŵiche malajisyo gangu mu nganisyo syao ni kugalemba mmitima jao. Uneji chime Akunnungu ŵao, ni ŵanyawo chaŵe ŵandu ŵangu.
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 Ngapagwa juchanjiganye njakwe namose kunsalila mpwakwe kuti ‘Mwamanyilile Ambuje.’ Pakuŵa wose chachiimanyilila une chitandile jwannandi mpaka jwankulungwa jwakwe.
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 Chinaalechelesye chigongomalo chao, ni sambi syao ngangumbuchila sooni.”
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 Kwa kusala lilangano lili “Lyasambano,” Akunnungu alitesile lilangano lyaandanda liŵe lya kuwisala. Ni chindu chose chachichekulwipe ni kuwisala chichisoŵe pangakaŵa.
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
