< Hebrews 4 >
1 Therefore let's take care to make sure that even though God has given us his promise of entering his rest, none of you miss out!
Ku lulo, kutakiwe kutula akendegeeli iti kina kati anyu waleke kutula ukoli ga nung'wi nuikigeeleka kulemigwa kupikiila ilago ni ilongoleku nila kingila mu usupyo nuang'wa Itunda.
2 For we've heard the good news just like they did, but it didn't help them because they didn't accept and trust in what they heard.
Kuiti katulaa ni nkani nziza kutula usupyo nuang'wa Itunda naza utanantigwe kitaitu anga i Aisraeli nai atulaa nu lwenso, kuiti u lukani nulanso shanga ai lua aiiye awo naza aligulye ze tile kuambinkanigwa u uhuiili nu lwenso.
3 However, those of us who trust in God have entered into that rest God mentioned when he said, “In my frustration I vowed, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’” (This is so even though God's plans were already complete when he created the world.)
Ku usese, naza kakondyaa huiila-usese ki mukati ni ku ingila mu usupyo uwo, Anga niukuligitigwa, “Anga nai ndapile ki kuo nilane, Shanga akingila mu usupyo nuane.” Ai uligitilye ili, ga ni iti milimo ihi nai umizipilye ize atula akondeeleka puma u ng'wandyo nua unkumbigulu.
4 Regarding the seventh day there's a place in Scripture that says, “God rested on the seventh day from all his work.”
Ku iti wakondyaa kuligitya nkika a kituunga kutula luhiku nula mupungati, “Itunda ai usupilye luhiku nula mupungati mu ihi nai witumile.”
5 And as the previous passage stated, “They shall not enter my rest.”
Hangi wakondyaa ligitya, “Shanga akingila mu usupyo nuane.”
6 God's rest is still there for some to enter, even though those who previously heard the good news failed to enter because of disobedience.
Ku nsoko nanso, puma usupyo nuang'wa Itunda ikili ingi itulyo ku nsoko a ang'wi kingila, hangi puma i Aisraeli idu naza ai igulye nkani ninza kutula usupyo nuakwe shanga ai ingie nsoko a ugila lwijo.
7 So God again sets a day—today—saying a long time later through David as he did before, “If you hear what God is saying to you today, don't have a hard-hearted attitude.”
Itunda ai uikile hangi luhiku la kituunga, litangwaa, “Lelo.” Nuanso ai ulongeeye u luhiku ulu nai uligitilye nu Daudi, naiza ai uligitilye ku itungo ilipu ze yakilaa nai aligitigwe u ng'wandyo, “Lelo anga mije u luli nu lakwe, muleke kuitenda i nkolo nianyu kutula nkaku.”
8 For if Joshua had been able to give them rest, God wouldn't have spoken later about another day.
Ku iti anga uYoshua nai uinkiiye u usupyo, Itunda shanga ai uzeeligitya migulya a luhiku lungiiza.
9 So a Sabbath rest remains for God's people.
Ku lulo ikili ukoli wikali nula usupyo nai lutanantigwe ku nsoko a antu ang'wa Itunda.
10 For whoever enters God's rest also rests from what he's doing, just as God did.
Ku iti nu ingila mu usupyo nuang'wa Itunda ga nu ng'wenso mukola wasupyaa kupembelya mu ntendo niakwe, anga Itunda nai witumile mu nuanso.
11 As a result we should try hard to enter that rest so nobody falls through following the same bad example of disobedience.
Ku lulo kutule ni nsula a kingila mu usupyo uwo, iti kina waleke kutula ukoli nuikagwa mu mpyani a upiluki nai itumile.
12 For God's word is alive and effective, sharper than any twin-edged sword, so penetrating it separates life and breath, bone joints and their marrow, judging the thoughts and intentions of the mind.
Ku ndogoelyo u lukani nulang'wa Itunda lupanga hangi lukete ngulu hangi lukete wingi kukila i mpanga ihi nikete u wigi ku biili. Hangi likinyaa ga nu kupikiila kugalanula u ung'enyi nua nNgwau ng'welu, ni nungo mu ongwe. Hangi nuluhumile kulinga i masigo a nkolo i nsula akwe.
13 No living being is hidden from his sight; everything is exposed and visible to the one we're accountable to.
Kutili nai kiumbilwe ni kipihile mu usu nuang'wa Itunda. Badala akwe, kila i kintu ingi kulu kuulu hangi ng'walyi ku miho a ung'wi naiza ingi kusinja kupumye u ualigwa.
14 Since we have such a great high priest who has ascended to heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us make sure we hold on to what we say we believe.
Ze yakilaa kutula nu kuhani nu mukulu nai wingie mi ilunde, uYesu Ng'wana wang'wa Itunda, ku ukamatiku kuambiile u uhuiili nuitu.
15 For the high priest we have isn't one who doesn't sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who was tempted in all the ways we are, but did not sin.
Ku nsoko ki agila u kuhani nu mukulu naiza shanga uhumile kuhung'wa i aisa ku nsoko a unyeku nuitu, kuiti nuanso naiza ku nzila yihi watulaa ukugeng'wa anga usese, kwaala nuanso naiza mugila u mulandu.
16 So we should go confidently to God on his throne of grace so we can receive mercy, and discover grace to help us when we really need it.
Ni kupembye ku ukamatiku mi ituntu nila ukulu nua ukende, iti kina kusingiilye ukende nu kulija u ukende nua ku uaiilya matungo na kusiga.
