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.
Chobulyo, bakwangu banjolola, basupitwe kuliyabela zakwiwulu. Muzeze kuamana ni Jesu, mwapositola ni muprisita mukulwana utuliwamba kakwe.
2 He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.
Abakusepahala kwa Ireeza, uzo abamuketi, sina ubu nji Mushe mwa basepahalili muzubo ya Ireeza.
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.
Mukuti Jesu abali kusepahala hahulu mwikanya kuhita Mushe, kakuti muzaki wezubo ukutekeha hahulu kuhita izubo kasibili.
4 And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
Mukuti izubo yose izakwa muntu, kono yozaka zonse nji Ireeza.
5 Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.
Kwiyaza limwi, Mushe abali muhikana yabali kusepahala mwizubo yonse ya Ireeza. Abali ipaki kuamana ni kupaka zakubusu.
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.
Kono Christe Mwana njoyelele muzubo ya Ireeza. Twizubo yakwe haiba ni tukwatilila kwisepo yetu ni bwikumuso butuzumina kubuli.
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,
Chobulyo, kwina neza sina mulutela Luhuho Lujolola: “Sunu, haiba nimuzuwa inzwi lyakwe
8 do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,
sanzi mukukutuhazi inkulo zenu sina munako zakusandukilwa, mwinako zakulikwa mwihalaupa.
9 where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.
Iyi ibali inako ibakuku ubakuku wenu habanisandukila chakunilika, imi linu, muzilimo zina makumi wone bababoni mitendo yangu. Chobulyo kananitabiswa una murahi.
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’
Chinati, 'bahitizwe zintu zibilala mukulo zabo inako yonse. Kana babazibi inzila zangu.'
11 So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”
Kuswana bulyo ni munibakokeli chakubenga kwangu: 'Kabakafwe kwinjila mwipumulo yangu.'”
12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.
Mutokomele, bakwangu, chokuti mukati kenu sanzi kuwaniki nangati umwina winjililwa luhuho lubilala mwikulo lwakusazumina, inkulo ifutata kuzwa kwa Ireeza yohala.
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.
Nihakuba bulyo, mususuwezane izuba ni zuba, nihakutewa kuti nji “Sunu,” njokuti sanzi nikuwaniki mukati kenu yokukutuhazwa chakuchengelelwa chive.
14 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.
Mukuti tubabi chiyemba kwa Christe haiba ni tukwatilila kwisepo yetu itwina kwali kuzwa kutanzi kuya kumamanimani.
15 As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”
Kono inzi zibawambitwe, “Sunu, haiba nozuwa inzwi lyakwe, sanzi mukukutuhazi inkulo zenu, sina munako yabusandukili.
16 For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
Njibani babamuzuwi Ireeza ni kumusandukila? Kahena kuti njibona babo babakazwi ni Mushe mwa Egepita?
17 And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
Njibani babo bababengeli makumi azilimo zone? Kahena kuti njibona babo babapangi chive, basimili ifwile ibawili mwihalaupa?
18 And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?
Njikubani kwabawoli kukonka kaluchi kuti ketenibawole kukenjila mupumulo yakwe?
19 So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.
Imi tubona kuti kanababali kuwola kwinjila mupumulo yakwe chebaka lyakusazumina.
