Hebrews 1
1 God, who in the past spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at various times and in many ways,
Hapo zamani, Mungu alisema na babu zetu mara nyingi kwa namna nyingi kwa njia ya manabii,
2 has in these last days spoken to us through his Son. God appointed the Son heir of everything, and made the universe through him. (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 The Son is the radiant glory of God, and the visible expression of his true character. He sustains everything by his powerful command. When he had provided cleansing for sin he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
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 He was placed much higher than the angels since he received a greater name than them.
Mwana ni mkuu zaidi kuliko malaika, kama vile jina alilopewa na Mungu ni kuu zaidi kuliko jina lao.
5 God never said to any angel, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father,” or “I will be a Father to him, and he will be a Son to me.”
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 Also, when he brought his firstborn Son into the world, he said, “Let all God's angels worship him.”
Lakini Mungu alipokuwa anamtuma Mwanae mzaliwa wa kwanza ulimwenguni, alisema: “Malaika wote wa Mungu wanapaswa kumwabudu.”
7 Regarding the angels, he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire,”
Lakini kuhusu malaika, Mungu alisema: “Mungu awafanya malaika wake kuwa pepo, na watumishi wake kuwa ndimi za moto.”
8 but about the Son he says, “Your throne, God, lasts forever and ever, and justice is the ruling scepter of your 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 You love what is right, and hate what is lawless. That is why God, your God, has placed you above everyone else by anointing you with the oil of joy.”
Wewe wapenda uadilifu na kuchukia uovu. Ndiyo maana Mungu, Mungu wako amekuweka wakfu na kukumiminia furaha kubwa zaidi kuliko wenzako.”
10 “You, Lord, laid the foundations of the earth in the beginning. The heavens are the product of your hands.
Pia alisema: “Bwana, wewe uliumba dunia hapo mwanzo, mbingu ni kazi ya mikono yako.
11 They will come to an end, but you will continue. They will wear out like clothes do,
Hizo zitatoweka, lakini wewe wabaki daima, zote zitachakaa kama vazi.
12 and you will roll them up like a cloak. Like clothes, they will be changed, but you never change, and your life never ends.”
Utazikunjakunja kama koti, nazo zitabadilishwa kama vazi. Lakini wewe ni yuleyule daima, na maisha yako hayatakoma.”
13 But he never said to any angel, “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies in subjection under your feet.”
Mungu hakumwambia kamwe hata mmoja wa malaika wake: “Keti upande wangu wa kulia, mpaka niwaweke adui zako chini ya miguu yako.”
14 What are the angels? They are beings that serve, sent out to help those who will receive salvation.
Malaika ni roho tu wanaomtumikia Mungu, na Mungu huwatuma wawasaidie wale watakaopokea wokovu.
