Hebrews 1
1 In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets,
Hapo zamani, Mungu alisema na babu zetu mara nyingi kwa namna nyingi kwa njia ya manabii,
2 in these last days speaks to us in [His] Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the ages; (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 brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also all things by the saying of His might—having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness in the highest,
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 having become so much better than the messengers, as He inherited a more excellent name than them.
Mwana ni mkuu zaidi kuliko malaika, kama vile jina alilopewa na Mungu ni kuu zaidi kuliko jina lao.
5 For to which of the messengers did He ever say, “You are My Son—today I have begotten You?” And again, “I will be to Him for a Father, and He will be to Me for a 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 when again He may bring the firstborn into the world, He says, “And let them worship Him—all messengers of God”;
Lakini Mungu alipokuwa anamtuma Mwanae mzaliwa wa kwanza ulimwenguni, alisema: “Malaika wote wa Mungu wanapaswa kumwabudu.”
7 and to the messengers, indeed, He says, “The [One] who is making His messengers 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 to the Son: “Your throne, O God, [is] throughout the age of the age; The scepter of righteousness [is the] 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 loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness; Because of this He anointed You—God, Your God—With oil of gladness above Your partners”;
Wewe wapenda uadilifu na kuchukia uovu. Ndiyo maana Mungu, Mungu wako amekuweka wakfu na kukumiminia furaha kubwa zaidi kuliko wenzako.”
10 and, “You, LORD, founded the earth at the beginning, And the heavens are a work of Your hands.
Pia alisema: “Bwana, wewe uliumba dunia hapo mwanzo, mbingu ni kazi ya mikono yako.
11 These will perish, but You remain, And all will become old as a garment,
Hizo zitatoweka, lakini wewe wabaki daima, zote zitachakaa kama vazi.
12 And You will roll them together as a mantle, and they will be changed, But You are the same, and Your years will not fail.”
Utazikunjakunja kama koti, nazo zitabadilishwa kama vazi. Lakini wewe ni yuleyule daima, na maisha yako hayatakoma.”
13 And to which of the messengers did He ever say, “Sit at My right hand, Until I may make Your enemies Your footstool?”
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 spirits of service—being sent forth for ministry because of those about to inherit salvation?
Malaika ni roho tu wanaomtumikia Mungu, na Mungu huwatuma wawasaidie wale watakaopokea wokovu.
