Ba Hibbulu 6
1 Mpawo elyo atusimye matalikilo aamkani aaaJesu mpawo tuye kunembo akukomena. Tutayali lubo matalikilo azya kusanduka kuzwa kumilimu ifwide azyalusyomo muli Leza.
So then, let us leave the beginning of the message of Christ and move forward to maturity. Let us not lay again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith in God,
2 Olo matalikilo aanjisyo yazyalubbabbatizyo, buyale bwamaboko, bubuke bwabafu, alubeta lutamani. (aiōnios g166)
nor the foundation of teaching about baptisms, laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Tuyochita lubo aswe echi naLeza wachizumizya.
We will also do this if God permits.
4 Nkaambo nchiyumu kuli aabo ibakali bamunikilwa, ibalakalabila zipo zyakujulu, abo bakali basikwaaba baMuuya Uusalala,
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, who tasted the heavenly gift, who were sharers of the Holy Spirit,
and who tasted God's good word and the powers of the age to come, (aiōn g165)
6 pesi abo ibakawa - nkuyumu kubaboozya lubo kukusanduka. Kuloobu akaambo kakuti balikuligankamina lubo Mwana waLeza, mpawo akumusya lubo chaantanganana.
but who then fell away—it is impossible to restore them again to repentance. This is because they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and publicly shame him.
7 Nkambo inyiika inywa kumvula iyiwida aachiindi, akumezeka ziliimwa zilamulimu kuli abo nyika mbiyakaliminwa - eyi ninyika itambula zilongezyo zizwa kuli Leza.
For the land that drinks in the rain that often comes on it, and that gives birth to the plants useful to those for whom the land was worked—this is the land that receives a blessing from God.
8 Pesi ikuti yazyala maamvwa, amanchenya, tayigwasyi pe elyoo ili afwifwi alutuko. Mamanino ayo alimukutentwa.
But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and is near to a curse. Its end is in burning.
9 Pesi twakakomenenwa kuzintu zili mbubombubo aatala anduwe, nobayandwa, zintu zilangene alufutuko, nikuba kuto twaamba oobu.
But we are convinced about better things concerning you, beloved ones, things that concern salvation, even though we speak like this.
10 Nkaambo Leza takwe lubazu. Takoyoluba mulimu wako aluyamdo nduwakatondeezya kuzina lyakwe, nkaambo wakagwasya basalali bakwe, a lino uchibagwasya.
For God is not so unjust that he would forget your work and the love that you have shown for his name, because you served the believers and still serve them.
11 Tuli achiyandisyo kapati kuti awumwi akati kanu akatondezye bukozu bukozyene kumamanino, kuti bulangizi bwanu bube bwanchonzyo.
We greatly desire that each of you may show the same diligence to the end, in order to make your hope certain.
12 Eechi nkokuti mutakabi bakand, pesi batobelezyi babaabo kwindila mulusyomo abulindizi bakone zisyomezyo.
This is so that you will not become lazy, but imitators of those who by faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 Nkaambo Leza naakachita chisyomezyo kuli Abbulamu, wakalikonkezya mwini, mukuti taali kanookonkezya kuli umwi mupati kampatila.
For when God made his promise to Abraham, he swore by himself, since he could not swear by anyone greater.
14 Wakati “Chonzyo ndiyokulongezya a kukomezya myeelwe yako.”
He said, “I will certainly bless you, and I will greatly increase you.”
15 Munzila eeyi, Abbulamu wakachijana echo nchakasyomezegwa musule abulindizi buzulide.
In this way, Abraham obtained what was promised after he had patiently waited.
16 NKaambo bantu balakonkezya kuli umwi mupati kwinda lwabo beni. Kumamanino a twaambo twabo, achizuminano chiyoba mbuli chizuzikizyo.
For people swear by someone greater than themselves. At the end of each of their disputes, an oath serves as confirmation.
17 Elyo Leza nakasala kutondeezya chilaantanganana kuli basimulya lukono lwazisyomezyo kutasanduka kwabube bwakwe, wakachibikila chizuminano.
When God decided to show more clearly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable quality of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath.
18 Wakachita obu kuti kuzintu zibili zitasandululwi - kuli eecho chitakonzeki kuti Leza abeje - iswe, nitwakachijila kumayubilo, tuyooba akusungwazigwa kupati mukujatisya changuzu bulangizi bubikidwe kunembo lyesu.
He did this so that by two unchangeable things—with which it is impossible for God to lie—we, who have fled for refuge, will have a strong encouragement to hold firmly to the hope set before us.
19 Tulabulangizi obu mbuli chikwabilizyo chesu a chisimyo chitazunganisigwi chamuuya, bulangizi obo mubusena bwamukatikati kusule a chisitikizyo, oko
We have this as a secure and reliable anchor for the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,
20 Jesu, wakeendakunembo lyesu, nkwakanjilila mubusena obo akambo kesu. Elyo wakaba mupayizi mupati kwakutamani musule amalayilile aMelikizedeki. (aiōn g165)
where Jesus, who went before us, has entered into that place on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
