< Hebrews 3 >

1 For this reason, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and Chief Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,
Kwa nneyo mmaakulupalila ajangunji, mmandunji bha ukonjelo nshemilwenje, na a Nnungu, nibha bhandunji bhabho malinga uwe mwaaganishiyanje a Yeshu ni a Ntume na Bhakulungwa Bhaabhishila bhutukwaalunguya.
2 being faithful to Him who appointed Him, as also Moses [was] in all His house.
Bhashinkubha bhaakulupalika kwa a Nnungu bhaabhishile bhatende liengo lila, malinga a Musha shibhashite kulupalika nnyumba jowe ja a Nnungu.
3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who builds it has more honor than the house.
A Yeshu bhanapinjikwa kuishimika kupunda a Musha, malinga nkushenga nyumba anaishimika kupunda nyumba jiyene.
4 For every house is built by someone, and He who built all things [is] God,
Pabha kila nyumba pujishengwa naka mundu, ikabheje a Nnungu ni bhaashenga bhapengenye indu yowe.
5 and Moses [was] indeed steadfast in all His house, as an attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be spoken—
A Musha bhashinkukulupalika nnyumba jowe ja a Nnungu, bhalibheleketa ga indu ipinga kwiya lugulwa.
6 but Christ, as a Son over His house, whose house we are, if we hold fast the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope to the end.
Ikabheje a Kilishitu bhanakulupalika nnyumba ja a Nnungu malinga Mwana akwete ukulungwa. Uwe twaashayene ni nyumba jabho, tupundaga kola makangala na tama nkwaakulupalila a Kilishitu.
7 For this reason, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you may hear His voice—
Kwa nneyo, malinga shaabheleketa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, “Monaga lelo mpilikanangaga lilobhe lyangu,
8 you may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of the temptation in the wilderness,
nnanonopanje mitima jenunji, mbuti shibhatendilenje ashinakulu bhenunji pubhaakanilenje a Nnungu lyubha lya lingwa, kuanga kula.
9 in which your fathers tempted Me; they proved Me, and saw My works [for] forty years;
Kwekula ashinakulu bhenunji bhashinkuninganga, Nkali bhaibhweninji itendi yangu yaka makumi nsheshe!
10 for this reason I was grieved with that generation and said, They always go astray in [their] heart, and these have not known My ways;
Kwa lyene ligongolyo nashinkulutumbalila lwene lubhelekolo gunjite, ‘Mobha gowe bhanapuganyikanga, Bhakaakagulanga mipanda Jangu.’
11 so I swore in My anger, They will [not] enter into My rest.”
Bhai, nkutumbala gunumbile, ‘Bhakajinjilanga pa shipumuli shangu.’”
12 Watch out, brothers, lest there will be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,
Bhai ashaalongo ajangunji, mwiteiganje anapagwe munkumbi gwenunji jojowe jwa ntima gwangali gwa mmbone na ukaakulupalila, ukwaabhambala a Nnungu bhakwete gumi.
13 but exhort one another every day, while [it] is called “Today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin,
Ikabheje kutagana ntima mobha gowe, kila pwiikushemwa “Lelo”, nkupinga mundu jojowe munkumbi gwenunji anatembwe na yambi nibha jwa mitau.
14 for we have become partakers of the Christ, if we may hold fast the confidence [we had] at the beginning to the end,
Pabha uwe tubhowe tunalundana na a Kilishitu ibhaga tubhikaga mmitima ngulupai jitukwete mpaka kumpelo.
15 as it is said, “Today, if you may hear His voice, you may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation.”
Majandiko ga ukonjelo gakuti, “Monaga mpilikanangaga lilobhe lyabho lelo, Nnanonopanje mitima jenunji. Malinga shimwatendilenje mobha gumwaakanilenje a Nnungu.”
16 For who [were those], having heard, [that] provoked, but not all those having come out of Egypt through Moses?
Igala ashigani bhapilikenenje lilobhe lya a Nnungu nikwaakana? Nngabha bhowe bhalongoywenje na a Musha kopoka ku Mishili?
17 But with whom was He grieved forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?
Na kabhili, ni ashigani bhaatumbeyenje a Nnungu yaka makumi nsheshe? Nngabha bhowe bhalebhilenje niwanganga nng'anga bhala?
18 And to whom did He swear that they will not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe?
Kabhili, ashigani bhubhalumbile kuti, “Bhakajinjilanga pa shipumuli shangu,” ikabhe bhalebhilenje bhala?
19 And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
Bhai, tubhwene kuti bhangajinjilanga pa shipumuli kwa ligongo lya ungakulupalila gwabhonji.
