Hebrews 1
1 God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets,
Hapo zamani, Mungu alisema na babu zetu mara nyingi kwa namna nyingi kwa njia ya manabii,
2 at the end of these days has spoken to us in [the person of the] Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)
lakini siku hizi za mwisho, amesema nasi kwa njia ya Mwanae. Yeye ndiye ambaye kwa njia yake Mungu aliumba ulimwengu na akamteua avimiliki vitu vyote. (aiōn g165)
3 who being [the] effulgence of his glory and [the] expression of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made [by himself] the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high,
Yeye ni mng'ao wa utukufu wa Mungu, na mfano kamili wa hali ya Mungu mwenyewe, akiutegemeza ulimwengu kwa neno lake lenye nguvu. Baada ya kuwapatia binadamu msamaha wa dhambi zao, aliketi huko juu mbinguni, upande wa kulia wa Mungu Mkuu.
4 taking a place by so much better than the angels, as he inherits a name more excellent than they.
Mwana ni mkuu zaidi kuliko malaika, kama vile jina alilopewa na Mungu ni kuu zaidi kuliko jina lao.
5 For to which of the angels said he ever, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him for father, and he shall be to me for son?
Maana Mungu hakumwambia kamwe hata mmoja wa malaika wake: “Wewe ni Mwanangu; Mimi leo nimekuwa Baba yako.” Wala hakusema juu ya malaika yeyote: “Mimi nitakuwa Baba yake, naye atakuwa Mwanangu.”
6 and again, when he brings in the firstborn into the habitable world, he says, And let all God's angels worship him.
Lakini Mungu alipokuwa anamtuma Mwanae mzaliwa wa kwanza ulimwenguni, alisema: “Malaika wote wa Mungu wanapaswa kumwabudu.”
7 And as to the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire;
Lakini kuhusu malaika, Mungu alisema: “Mungu awafanya malaika wake kuwa pepo, na watumishi wake kuwa ndimi za moto.”
8 but as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age, and a sceptre of uprightness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)
Lakini kumhusu Mwana, Mungu alisema: “Utawala wako ee Mungu, wadumu milele na milele! Wewe wawatawala watu wako kwa haki. (aiōn g165)
9 Thou hast loved righteousness and hast hated lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy companions.
Wewe wapenda uadilifu na kuchukia uovu. Ndiyo maana Mungu, Mungu wako amekuweka wakfu na kukumiminia furaha kubwa zaidi kuliko wenzako.”
10 And, Thou in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth, and works of thy hands are the heavens.
Pia alisema: “Bwana, wewe uliumba dunia hapo mwanzo, mbingu ni kazi ya mikono yako.
11 They shall perish, but thou continuest still; and they all shall grow old as a garment,
Hizo zitatoweka, lakini wewe wabaki daima, zote zitachakaa kama vazi.
12 and as a covering shalt thou roll them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the Same, and thy years shall not fail.
Utazikunjakunja kama koti, nazo zitabadilishwa kama vazi. Lakini wewe ni yuleyule daima, na maisha yako hayatakoma.”
13 But as to which of the angels said he ever, Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?
Mungu hakumwambia kamwe hata mmoja wa malaika wake: “Keti upande wangu wa kulia, mpaka niwaweke adui zako chini ya miguu yako.”
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out for service on account of those who shall inherit salvation?
Malaika ni roho tu wanaomtumikia Mungu, na Mungu huwatuma wawasaidie wale watakaopokea wokovu.
