Hebrews 4
1 Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.
Popeza lonjezo lakuti tidzalowe mu mpumulo umene anatilonjeza lilipobe, tiyeni tisamale kuti pasakhale wina aliyense mwa inu wodzalephera kulowamo.
2 For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not mixed with faith by those who heard.
Pakuti Uthenga Wabwino unalalikidwa kwa ife, monganso iwo aja; koma iwo sanapindule nawo uthengawo chifukwa anangomva koma osakhulupirira.
3 For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Tsono ife amene takhulupirira talowa mu mpumulo, monga momwe Mulungu akunenera kuti, “Ndili wokwiya ndinalumbira kuti, ‘Iwo sadzalowa konse mu mpumulo wanga.’” Ananena zimenezi ngakhale anali atatsiriza kale ntchito yolenga dziko lapansi.
4 For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works;”
Pena pake wayankhula za tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri mʼmawu awa: “Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri, Mulungu anapumula ku ntchito zake zonse.”
5 and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”
Pa ndime inonso akunena za zomwezo pamene akuti, “Iwo sadzalowa konse mu mpumulo wanga.”
6 Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good news was preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,
Popeza kwatsalabe kuti ena adzalowe mu mpumulowo, koma aja anayamba kumva Uthenga Wabwino sanalowe chifukwa cha kusamvera kwawo.
7 he again defines a certain day, “today”, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), “Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
Nʼchifukwa chake Mulungu anayikanso tsiku lina limene analitcha “Lero.” Patapita nthawi yayitali Iye anayankhula za tsiku lomweli kudzera mwa Davide, monga ndinanena kale kuti, “Lero mukamva mawu ake, musawumitse mitima yanu.”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
Ngati Yoswa akanalowetsa anthu mu mpumulo, Mulungu sakananena pambuyo pake za tsiku lina.
9 There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
Kotero tsono kwatsala mpumulo wa Sabata kwa anthu a Mulungu;
10 For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
Pakuti aliyense amene analowa mu mpumulo wa Mulungu anapuma pa ntchito zake, monga momwe Mulungu anachitira.
11 Let’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
Tiyeni tsono tiyesetse kulowa mu mpumulo, kuti pasapezeke wina aliyense wolephera potsatira chitsanzo chawo cha kusamvera.
12 For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Paja Mawu a Mulungu ndi amoyo ndi amphamvu. Ndi akuthwa koposa lupanga lakuthwa konsekonse. Amalowa mpaka molumikizirana moyo ndi mzimu, ndiponso molumikizirana fundo ndi mafuta a mʼmafupa. Amaweruza malingaliro ndi zokhumba za mʼmitima.
13 There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.
Palibe kanthu kobisika pamaso pa Mulungu. Zinthu zonse zili poyera ndi zovundukuka pamaso pa Iye amene tiyenera kumufotokozera zonse zimene tachita.
14 Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.
Popeza kuti tili ndi Mkulu wa ansembe wopambana, amene analowa kale kumwamba, Yesu Mwana wa Mulungu, tiyeni tigwiritsitse chikhulupiriro chathu chimene timavomereza.
15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
Pakuti sitili ndi Mkulu wa ansembe amene sangathe kutimvera chifundo chifukwa cha zofowoka zathu. Koma tili naye amene anayesedwa mʼnjira zonse monga ife, koma sanachimwe.
16 Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.
Tiyeni tsono tiyandikire ku mpando waufumu, wachisomo mopanda mantha, kuti tilandire chifundo ndi kupeza chisomo chotithandiza pa nthawi yeniyeni.
