< Hebrews 3 >

1 Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
Kulwejo, bhana bhasu abhelu, abhasangisi bho kubhilikilwa mulwile, mumwiganilishe Yesu, Intumwa no Mugabhisi Mkulu owelikilisha lyeswe.
2 He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.
Aliga ali mulengelesi ku Nyamuanga unu amwauye, lwakutyo Musa aliga ali mulengelesi ona munyumba yona ya Nyamuanga.
3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
Kulwokubha Yesu abhaliwe likusho lyamfu okukila linu aliga alinalyo Musa, kulwokubha unu kombaka inyumba kabhalilwa kubha ne chibhalo chinene okukila inyumba eyenene.
4 And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
Kulwokubha bhuli nyumba eyumbakwa no munu mulebhe, nawe unu kombaka bhuli chinu ni Nyamuanga.
5 Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.
Chimali Musa aliga ali mulengelesi lwo mukosi munyumba yona ya Nyamuanga, nasosha obhubhambasi ingulu ya magambo ganu galyaikwa omwanya gunu oguja.
6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.
Nawe Kristo ni Mwana wo kwimelegulu inyumba ya Nyamuanga. Eswe ni nyumba yae labha chikagwatilila bhwangu kuliikanya no kwiikanya.
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,
Kulwejo, ni kutyo Mwoyo Mwelu kaikati,”Lelo labha ukongwa obhulaka bhwae,
8 do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,
Utakola omwoyo gwao kubha mukomee lwakutyo Abhaisiraeli bhakolele mukugayuka, mumwanya gwo kulegejwa mwibhala.
9 where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.
Gunu gwaliga gulimwanya gunu bhesomwana bhangayukile kwo kundegeja, nomwanya, kwe miyaka arobaini, bhalolele bhikolwa bhyani.
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’
Kulwejo ntakondelewe no lwibhulo olwo. Naikile ati, 'Abhabhula bhuli mwanya mumyoyo jebhwe, na bhatakumenya njila jani.
11 So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”
Nilwakutyo nalaiye mukubhiililwa kwani: bhatalingila mubhukondelewe bhwani.”
12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.
Mubhe bhetegelesha, bhaili, koleleki ataja akabhao omwoyo mujabhi owokulema okwikilisha muumwi mwimwe, omwoyo gunu oguja kula na Nyamuanga unu ali muhanga.
13 But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
Kulwejo, mukomeshanye bhuli lunaku bhuli munu no wejabho, koleleki bhuli lunu eibhilikilwa lelo mwisigombele, koleleki oumwi mwimwe atakolwa mukomee kubhujigi bwe ebhibhibhi.
14 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.
Kulwainsonga chabhee bhamwi mu Kristo chikagwatana no bhukomee bhweswe kwa managa kumwene okusoka kubhwambilo okukinga kubhutelo.
15 As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”
Ingulu yalinu yamalile kwaikwati, “Lelo labha mukongwa obhulaka bhwae, mutakola emyoyo jemwe kubha mikomee, lwakutyo Abhaisraeli bhakolele omwanya gwokugayuka.”Nibhaga bhanu bhanu
16 For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
bhamuguhye Nyamuanga no kugayuka? Bhaliga bhatalibhanu bhona Musa atangasishe okusoka Misri?
17 And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
Na nibhaga bhanu Nyamuanga bhanu abhiiliwe kwe miyaka makumi gana? Bhatali amwi na bhanu bhakolaga ebhibhibhi, bhanu emibhili jebhwe jafuye no kumama mwibhala?
18 And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?
Nibhaga bhanu Nyamuanga alailiye okulema okwingila mubhukondelewe bhwae, labha tibho bhanu bhatamunguhye omwene?
19 So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.
Echilola ati bhatatulile kwingila mubhukondelewe bhwae kulwokulema okwikilisha.
