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 the principal thing among those of which we are speaking is this: We have such a high-priest, who sat down 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, 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 appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; whence it is necessary that this one also have something which he may 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, indeed, he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are those that offer the 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 the mere delineation and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was admonished by God when he was about to make the tabernacle; for, “See,” saith he, “that thou make all things according to the pattern which was shown 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 he hath obtained a more excellent ministry, in proportion as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been established upon better promises.
7 Naga lilangano lyaandanda likaliji lyangali chileŵo ngalikasachilwe lilangano line.
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then a place would not have been sought for a 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 are coming, saith the Lord, when I will make with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant;
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 which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand, to bring 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 on their hearts will I write them; 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 one his fellow-citizen, and every one 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 I will 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; but that which is becoming old, and worn out with age, is ready to vanish away.
