Ba Hibbulu 1
1 Chiindi chakale Leza wakaambula kuli basikale besu kwiinda muba sinsimi muzyiindi zyiingi alimwi amunzila zyiingi.
In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,
2 Pesi muli aaya mazuba aamamanino wakaambula kulindiswe kwiinda mumwana mulombe, ooyo ngwaakayimikizya kuti akabesikulya lukonowezintu zyoonse. Nkwiindila mulinguwe alubo Leza wakachita bwaanze. (aiōn g165)
in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages; (aiōn g165)
3 We ngusikubalangala kwabulemu bwa Leza. Bwiiminizi bulimbubo bwabwiime bwakwe. Aboobo ulajata zinti zyoonse amwii ajwi lyamanguzu aakwe. Naakamana kusanzya zibi, wakakkala aansi kululyo lwabupati kujulu.
who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might — through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,
4 Wakaba ulanguzu kubangelo mbuli zina ndyakakona liluleme kwiinda aabo mazina.
having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they.
5 Nkaambo nkuli uuli wabangelo Leza ngwakatgi “Uli mwana wangu, sunu ndaba wuso”? Nakuti nguuli wabangelo Leza ngwakati, “Ndiyoba wisi kulinguwe alimwi we uyoba mwana kulindime”?
For to which of the messengers said He ever, 'My Son thou art — I to-day have begotten thee?' and again, 'I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?'
6 Pesi lubo aawo Leza nayeta mwana mutaanzi munyika, we utii, “Boonse bangelo mba Leza beelede kumukomba.”
and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, 'And let them bow before him — all messengers of God;'
7 Aatala abangelo utii, “Nguwe uuchita bangelo bakwe babe myuuya, mpawo balanda bakwe babe malabi amulilo
and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, 'Who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire;'
8 Pesi aatala amwana utuu, “Chuuno chakwe, Leza, chikkala mane kukabe kutamani. Lubeteko lwabwami bwako ndubeteko lwabululami. (aiōn g165)
and unto the Son: 'Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age; a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy reign; (aiōn g165)
9 Wakayanda bulumi mpawo wasula kutabaamba mulawu. Nkunkaako webo Leza wako wakunanika amafuta aalukondo kwiinda beenzinyokwe.”
thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee — God, thy God — with oil of gladness above thy partners;'
10 “Kumatalikilo, Mwami wakayala matalisyo aanyika. Majulu milimo yamaboko aako.
and, 'Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;
11 Bayoonyonyooka, pesi uyooyinkila kunembo. Bayoozakala boonse mbuli chimpanzi chasila.
these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old,
12 Uyobavunga mbuli chizwaato mpawo bayosandulwa mbuli chimpanzi chasila. Pesi webo tosanduki, amyaaka yako tiimani.”
and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.'
13 Mpesi kuli ooyo bangelo ba Leza bakati amulichili chiikndi, “Kkala kululyo lwangu mane ndikachite basinkondonyokwe bakabe chilyatilizyo chamawulu aako.”?
And unto which of the messengers said He ever, 'Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?'
14 Teensi bangelo boonse myuuya iibeleka na, abaabo bakatumwa kutabilila aabo bayokona lufutuko?
are they not all spirits of service — for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation?
