Hebrews 1
1 At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes:
Zamani Mungu alisema na baba zetu kwa njia ya manabii mara nyingi na kwa njia mbalimbali,
2 in these last dayes hee hath spoken vnto vs by his Sonne, Whom he hath made heire of al things, by whome also he made the worldes, (aiōn g165)
lakini katika siku hizi za mwisho anasema nasi kwa njia ya Mwanawe, ambaye amemweka kuwa mrithi wa vitu vyote, na ambaye kupitia kwake aliuumba ulimwengu. (aiōn g165)
3 Who being the brightnes of the glory, and the ingraued forme of his person, and bearing vp all things by his mightie worde, hath by himselfe purged our sinnes, and sitteth at the right hand of the Maiestie in the highest places,
Mwana ni mngʼao wa utukufu wa Mungu na mfano halisi wa nafsi yake, akivihifadhi vitu vyote kwa neno lake lenye uweza. Akiisha kufanya utakaso kwa ajili ya dhambi, aliketi mkono wa kuume wa Aliye Mkuu huko mbinguni.
4 And is made so much more excellent then the Angels, in as much as hee hath obteined a more excellent Name then they.
Kwa hiyo alifanyika bora kuliko malaika, kama jina alilorithi lilivyo bora kuliko lao.
5 For vnto which of the Angels saide he at any time, Thou art my Sonne, this day begate I thee? and againe, I will be his Father, and he shalbe my Sonne?
Kwa maana ni malaika yupi ambaye wakati wowote Mungu alipata kumwambia, “Wewe ni Mwanangu; leo mimi nimekuzaa?” Au tena, “Mimi nitakuwa Baba yake, naye atakuwa Mwanangu?”
6 And againe, when he bringeth in his first begotten Sonne into the worlde, hee saith, And let all the Angels of God worship him.
Tena, Mungu amletapo mzaliwa wake wa kwanza ulimwenguni, anasema, “Malaika wote wa Mungu na wamsujudu.”
7 And of the Angels he saith, He maketh the spirites his messengers, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Anenapo kuhusu malaika asema, “Huwafanya malaika wake kuwa pepo, watumishi wake kuwa miali ya moto.”
8 But vnto the Sonne he saith, O God, thy throne is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnes. (aiōn g165)
Lakini kwa habari za Mwana asema, “Kiti chako cha enzi, Ee Mungu, kitadumu milele na milele, nayo haki itakuwa fimbo ya utawala ya ufalme wako. (aiōn g165)
9 Thou hast loued righteousnes and hated iniquitie. Wherefore God, eue thy God, hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes.
Umependa haki na kuchukia uovu; kwa hiyo Mungu, Mungu wako, amekuweka juu ya wenzako kwa kukupaka mafuta ya furaha.”
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast established the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thine handes.
Pia asema, “Hapo mwanzo, Ee Bwana, uliweka misingi ya dunia, nazo mbingu ni kazi ya mikono yako.
11 They shall perish, but thou doest remaine: and they all shall waxe olde as doeth a garment.
Hizo zitatoweka, lakini wewe utadumu; zote zitachakaa kama vazi.
12 And as a vesture shalt thou folde them vp, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy yeeres shall not faile.
Utazikungʼutakungʼuta kama joho, nazo zitachakaa kama vazi. Lakini wewe hubadiliki, nayo miaka yako haikomi kamwe.”
13 Vnto which also of the Angels saide he at any time, Sit at my right hand, til I make thine enemies thy footestoole?
Je, ni kwa malaika yupi ambaye Mungu amepata kumwambia wakati wowote, “Keti mkono wangu wa kuume, hadi nitakapowaweka adui zako chini ya miguu yako”?
14 Are they not al ministring spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shalbe heires of saluation?
Je, malaika wote si roho watumikao, waliotumwa kuwahudumia wale watakaourithi wokovu?
