< Hebrews 1 >
1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
Zamani Mungu alisema na baba zetu kwa njia ya manabii mara nyingi na kwa njia mbalimbali,
2 in these last days has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages. (aiōn )
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 )
3 He is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification for sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
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 having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.
Kwa hiyo alifanyika bora kuliko malaika, kama jina alilorithi lilivyo bora kuliko lao.
5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father"? And again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"?
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 again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."
Tena, Mungu amletapo mzaliwa wake wa kwanza ulimwenguni, anasema, “Malaika wote wa Mungu na wamsujudu.”
7 Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire."
Anenapo kuhusu malaika asema, “Huwafanya malaika wake kuwa pepo, watumishi wake kuwa miali ya moto.”
8 But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom. (aiōn )
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 )
9 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions."
Umependa haki na kuchukia uovu; kwa hiyo Mungu, Mungu wako, amekuweka juu ya wenzako kwa kukupaka mafuta ya furaha.”
10 And, "In the beginning, Lord, you established the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
Pia asema, “Hapo mwanzo, Ee Bwana, uliweka misingi ya dunia, nazo mbingu ni kazi ya mikono yako.
11 They will perish, but you remain; and they will all wear out like a garment.
Hizo zitatoweka, lakini wewe utadumu; zote zitachakaa kama vazi.
12 As a cloak, you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will have no end."
Utazikungʼutakungʼuta kama joho, nazo zitachakaa kama vazi. Lakini wewe hubadiliki, nayo miaka yako haikomi kamwe.”
13 But which of the angels has he told at any time, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"
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 all ministering spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
Je, malaika wote si roho watumikao, waliotumwa kuwahudumia wale watakaourithi wokovu?
