Hebrews 12
1 Seeing then that we are encircled with this great cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and the sin that clings about us. Let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Kale nga bwe tulina ekibiina ekinene eky’abajulirwa ekyenkana awo, twambulengamu buli ekizitowa, awamu n’ekibi ekitwesibako amangu, tuddukenga n’okugumiikiriza embiro ez’empaka ezatutegekerwa,
2 looking unto Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured a cross, despising shame, and has now taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.
nga tutunuulira Yesu eyatandika okukkiriza era y’akutuukiriza, olw’essanyu lye yali alindirira bwe yagumiikiriza omusaalaba, ng’anyooma ensonyi, n’atuula ku luuyi olwa ddyo olw’entebe ya Katonda.
3 Compare yourselves with him who endured such hostility against himself at the hands of sinners, lest you grow weary, fainting in your souls.
Kale mulowooze oyo eyagumiikiriza okuwakanyizibwa okw’abakozi b’ebibi bwe kutyo, mulemenga okukoowa mu mmeeme zammwe nga mutendewererwa ne mu mutima.
4 Not yet have you resisted unto blood in your fight against sin;
Temunnalwanagana na kibi okutuusa ne kukuyiwa omusaayi!
5 and have you forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as sons? My son, do not despise the training of the Lord, Nor faint when he corrects you;
Mwerabidde ebigambo ebizzaamu amaanyi byayogera nammwe ng’abaana be? Agamba nti, “Mwana wange, tonyoomanga kukangavvulwa kwa Mukama, so toggwangamu maanyi ng’akunenyezza.
6 For it is those whom he loves that he disciplines, And he scourges every son whom he acknowledges.
Kubanga Mukama gw’ayagala amukangavvula, Era abonereza buli gw’ayita omwana we.”
7 It is for discipline that you are enduring these sufferings. God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
Noolwekyo mugumiikirize okukangavvulwa, kubanga Katonda abakangavvula ng’abaana be. Mwana ki kitaawe gw’atakangavvula?
8 If you are left without discipline, in which all children share, then are you bastards and not sons.
Naye singa temukangavvulwa, nga bwe kitugwanira ffenna, muba temuli baana be ddala.
9 Furthermore, our earthly fathers used to discipline us, and we gave them reverence. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
Kale, nga bwe mussaamu ekitiibwa bakitaffe ab’omubiri, newaakubadde nga batukangavvula, nga batuyigiriza, kitaawe w’emyoyo talisinga nnyo okutukangavvula ne tuba abalamu?
10 For they only disciplined us for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, that we may share his holiness.
Bakitaffe ab’omubiri baatugunjulira ennaku si nnyingi, naye ye atugunjula tugasibwe tulyoke tusobole okugabanira awamu naye mu butukuvu bwe.
11 Now no discipline seems for the present to be joyous, but grievous; but afterward it yields the peaceable fruits of righteousness to those who have been trained under it.
Okukangavvulwa kwonna mu biro ebya kaakano tekufaanana nga kwa ssanyu, kuba kwa bulumi, naye oluvannyuma kuleeta ebibala eby’emirembe eri abo abayigirizibwa, era ekivaamu bwe butuukirivu.
12 Wherefore lift up your listless hands, strengthen your feeble knees;
Bwe mutyo munyweze emikono gyammwe egikooye n’amaviivi gammwe agajugumira,
13 make straight path for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.
era ebigere byammwe mubikolere ekkubo eggolokofu, abo ababagoberera newaakubadde nga balema era banafu, baleme okuva mu kkubo eryo, wabula bawonyezebwe.
14 Run swiftly after peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
Mufubenga okuba n’emirembe n’abantu bonna, era mufubenga okuba abatukuvu, kubanga atali mutukuvu taliraba Mukama.
15 Look carefully that there be no one who falls back from the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springs up to trouble you, and by its means many become defiled.
Buli muntu afe ku munne waleme kubeerawo n’omu ava mu kisa kya Katonda, era mwekuume ensigo ey’obukyayi ereme okuloka mu mmwe, bangi ne bagwagwawala.
16 Take care lest there be any fornicator or scorner like Esau among you, who for one meal sold his birthright.
Era mwegendereze waleme okubaawo omwenzi mu mmwe wadde atatya Katonda nga Esawu eyatunda ebyobusika bwe olw’olulya olumu.
17 For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; he found no room for repentance, though he sought it earnestly, with tears.
Oluvannyuma ne bwe yagezaako okusikira omukisa ogwo, teyasiimibwa, era teyafuna mukisa kwenenya newaakubadde nga yagunoonya n’amaziga mangi.
18 For you are not come to a palpable and enkindled fire,
Temuzze ku lusozi olulabika olwaka omuliro, n’okukankana n’ekizikiza ekikutte, ne kibuyaga,
19 nor to gloom and darkness and tempest and the blare of a trumpet and an audible voice. Those who heard that voice entreated that no word more should be spoken to them.
n’eri eddoboozi ly’akagombe n’eri eddoboozi ery’ebigambo n’abo abaaliwulira ne batayinza na kweyongera kuligumira.
20 For they could not endure that which was enjoined, Even if a wild beast touches the mountain it shall be stoned to death;
Kubanga tebaayinza kugumira ekyo ekyalagirwa Katonda nti, “Ne bw’eba ensolo, bw’ekomanga ku lusozi ekubwanga amayinja n’efa.”
21 and so terrible was the scene that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and tremble.
Ne Musa n’atya nnyo olw’ekyo kye yalaba n’ayogera nti, “Ntidde nnyo era nkankana.”
22 On the contrary you are come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to innumerable hosts of angels,
Naye muzze ku lusozi Sayuuni, ne mu kibuga kya Katonda omulamu, mu Yerusaalemi eky’omu ggulu n’eri enkumi n’enkumi ez’abamalayika abakuŋŋaanye,
23 to the festal assemblage and church of the firstborn, registered in heaven, to a Judge who is God of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
n’eri ekkanisa ey’abo abaasooka, amannya gaabwe agaawandiikibwa mu ggulu, n’eri Katonda Omulamuzi wa bonna, n’eri emyoyo egy’abantu abaatukirizibwa,
24 to Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant, and to his sprinkled Blood whose message cries louder than that of Abel.
n’eri endagaano empya eya Yesu omutabaganya, ey’omusaayi ogwamansirwa ogwogera obulungi okusinga ogwa Aberi.
25 See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape punishment when they refused to listen to their instructor on earth, much less shall we escape if we turn away from him who is teaching us from heaven;
Kale mugonderenga oyo ayogera nammwe. Obanga Abayisirayiri tebaayinza kulokoka, bwe baagaana okuwulira oyo eyabalabula ng’ali ku nsi, tetuliyisibwa bubi nnyo n’okusingawo, bwe tulijeemera ekigambo ky’oyo ow’omu ggulu atulabula?
26 whose voice then shook the earth, but now he has promised, saying, Once again, once for all, I make not only earth, but heaven also to tremble.
Yakankanya ensi n’eddoboozi lye kyokka n’asuubiza nti, “Omulundi omulala sirinyeenya nsi yokka, naye era n’eggulu.”
27 That phrase, "Once again," signifies the removal of the things which can be shaken, created things, in order that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Kino kitegeeza nti agenda kumalawo nate ebyo ebinyenyezebwa, kyokka ebitanyenyezebwa bisigalewo.
28 Wherefore since we are receiving a kingdom which is unshakable, let us give thanks, and so offer acceptable worship to God, with holy awe and fear,
Kale, nga bwe twaweebwa obwakabaka obutanyeenyezebwa, tusinze Katonda nga bw’asiima nga tumussaamu ekitiibwa era nga tumutya.
29 FOR INDEED OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE.
Kubanga ddala, “Katonda waffe, gwe muliro ogwokya.”
