< Hebrews 4 >

1 Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, kuona atĩ kĩĩranĩro gĩa gũtoonya ũhurũko-inĩ wake kĩrĩ o ho-rĩ, nĩtwĩmenyererei gũtikagĩe o na ũmwe wanyu ũtagagĩkinyĩra.
2 For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it.
Nĩgũkorwo o na ithuĩ nĩtũhunjĩirio Ũhoro-ũyũ-Mwega o tao; no ũhoro ũrĩa maaiguire ndũigana kũmaguna, tondũ arĩa maũiguire matiawamũkĩrire na wĩtĩkio.
3 Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world.
Na rĩrĩ, ithuĩ arĩa twĩtĩkĩtie nĩ ithuĩ tũtoonyaga kĩhurũko-inĩ kĩu, o ta ũrĩa Ngai oigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa ndakarĩte, ngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Matirĩ hĩndĩ magaatoonya kĩhurũko-inĩ gĩakwa.’” O na gũtuĩka wĩra wake nĩwathirĩte kuuma o rĩrĩa thĩ yombirwo.
4 For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”
Nĩgũkorwo nĩ harĩ handũ hana aarĩtie ũhoro wa mũthenya wa mũgwanja, akoiga atĩrĩ: “Nake Ngai akĩhurũka mũthenya wa mũgwanja, agĩtigana na wĩra wake wothe.”
5 And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.”
O na ningĩ hau mbere nĩoigĩte atĩrĩ, “Matirĩ hĩndĩ magaatoonya ũhurũko-inĩ wakwa.”
6 Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience,
Nĩtũkuona atĩ nĩ kũrĩ amwe matigaire gũtoonya kĩhurũko-inĩ kĩu kĩeranĩirwo, nĩgũkorwo arĩa maahunjĩirio Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega mbere matiatoonyire tondũ nĩmagire gwathĩka.
7 God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o rĩngĩ Ngai akĩamũra mũthenya mũna, akĩwĩĩta Ũmũthĩ, thuutha wa matukũ maingĩ gũthira rĩrĩa aaririe na kanua ka Daudi, ta ũrĩa oigĩte hau mbere atĩrĩ: “Ũmũthĩ, mũngĩigua mũgambo wake, mũtikoomie ngoro cianyu.”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
Tondũ korwo Joshua nĩamaheete ũhurũko-rĩ, Ngai ndangĩacookire kwaria ũhoro wa mũthenya ũngĩ thuutha ũcio.
9 There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
Tondũ ũcio nĩgũtigaire Thabatũ ya kũhurũka ya andũ a Ngai;
10 For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.
nĩgũkorwo mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũtoonyaga kĩhurũko-inĩ kĩa Ngai o nake nĩahurũkaga agatigana na wĩra wake, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aahurũkire agĩtigana na wĩra wake.
11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, nĩtwĩrutanĩrie na kĩyo gũtoonya ũhurũko-inĩ ũcio, nĩgeetha gũtikanagĩe mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũkaagũa nĩ ũndũ wa kũrũmĩrĩra kĩonereria kĩa ũremi wao.
12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Nĩgũkorwo ũhoro wa Ngai ũrĩ muoyo na ũrĩ hinya. Nĩ mũũgĩ gũkĩra rũhiũ rwa njora rũnooretwo mĩena yeerĩ, ũgatheeca ũkagayũkania muoyo na roho, o na ũkagayania marũngo na maguta marĩa makoragwo mahĩndĩ-inĩ, na ningĩ ũgatuĩra meciiria na matua ma ngoro.
13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Gũtirĩ kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩa iria ciombirwo kĩhithĩtwo kuuma maitho-inĩ ma Ngai. Indo ciothe nĩhumbũrie na ikaguũrio mbere ya maitho ma ũrĩa tũkaahe ũhoro witũ.
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kuona atĩ tũrĩ na mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mũnene mũno ũrĩa ũhungurĩte agakinya o igũrũ, na nĩwe Jesũ mũrũ wa Ngai-rĩ, nĩtũrũmiei na hinya wĩtĩkio ũrĩa tuumbũraga.
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.
Nĩgũkorwo tũtirĩ na mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mũnene ũtangĩhota gũtũiguĩra tha ũhũthũ-inĩ witũ, no nĩ tũrĩ na ũmwe wanagerio ikĩro-inĩ ciothe o ta ithuĩ, no ndaigana kwĩhia.
16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Hakĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, nĩtũkuhĩrĩriei gĩtĩ kĩa Ũnene kĩrĩa kĩa Wega wake tũrĩ na ũũmĩrĩru, nĩgeetha tũkaiguĩrwo tha, na tuone Wega wake wa gũtũteithagia hĩndĩ ĩrĩa tũbatarĩte.
