Hebrews 12
1 Therefore let us also, being surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth easily beset us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us;
Chobulyo, mukuti tuzimbulukitwe ikope lyachisi chepaki zingi, tusiye kumbali zonse zintu zitulemena ni chive china hafuhi naswe. Linu tutiye lubilo chekulonde ibikitwe habunsu bwetu.
2 looking to the author and perfecter of the faith, Jesus, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Tutokomele fela za Jesu, mutangi ni mulukisi wetumelo. Kakusanga kubabikitwe hasu bwakwe, naliwongoza hachifapano, kuhita maswbisa acho, hape na kekala hachihuna chalubona lwa Ireeza.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction by sinners against him, lest ye faint in your souls, and become weary.
Linu muzeze, iye yabaliwongozi mukulwiswa kuzwa kubatendi bachive balwisana naye, Mukuti kanji mwizilwa kukatala munkulo zenu ni kusiya.
4 Not yet have ye resisted unto blood, in your contest against sin;
Kanamubeni kukana kapa kulwila kulwisa chive mbwiteli kuzwa malaha.
5 and ye have forgotten the exhortation, which reasoneth with you as with sons: “My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when reproved by him;
Hape chimwazibala insusuwezo imieleza kuti mubana: “Mwanangu, kanjiuzezi kabuhuba ikalimelo ya Simwine, nandi kukatala haiba nakusikulula.”
6 for whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth; and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”
Mukuti Simwine ukalimela bonse basuni, mi uha ikoto kuyese mwana yatambula.
7 It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he, whom the father chasteneth not?
Mutundamene mukunyando sina mukalimelwa. Ireeza umitenda sinamubana. Kana kwina mwana yasa kalimelwa ni besi?
8 But if ye are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons.
Kono haiba kamukalimelwa, kubaliabela bantu bonse, linuaho mubana bamulyani kamubakwe,
9 Furthermore, we were chastened by the fathers of our flesh, and we gave them reverence; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
Kuwelaho, tubena beshetu bamunyama babali bakalimeli, imi tubali kubakuteka. Linuaho mutukangwe bule kukuteka Ishetu wehuho kuti tuhale?
10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us, according as it seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Mukuti chenzila yimwi, Beshetu batukalimela mumazuba alikene aboneka nenza kubali. Kono munzila yimwi, Ireeza ututendabulyo mukuti tuwana bulotu bwakuliyabela mukujolola kwakwe.
11 Now all chastening for the present indeed seemeth to be not joyous, but grievous; but afterward it yieldeth the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.
Kakwina ikalimelo iboneka bulotu mweyo inako, kono isasama. Nihakwinabulyo kumamaninizo ibika zihantu zekozo yakuluka kwabana babalutwa bulyo.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
Chobulyo mukoze mayaza enu adengelele ni mazwi enu akatele.
13 and make straight paths for your feet, that the lame may not be turned out of the way, but may rather be healed.
Mupangile matende enu inzila ziwolekete, mukuti lichukuta kete nilisikuke kono mulihozwe.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord;
Mutundamene kuhala chekozo ni muntu umwi ni umwi, mi hape ni kunjolola haiba kakwinabulyo kakwina yense nabone Simwine.
15 looking diligently, lest any one come short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and the many be thereby defiled;
Mutokomele kokuti kanjinikubi ni yetenabule chisemo che Ireeza, nikuti kakwina muhisi wina bubilala wete niukule kuleta bukabo, mukuti bangi kanji basinywa nawo.
16 lest there be any fornicator, or profane person as Esau, who for one meal sold even his birthright.
Mutokomele kuti kanji kuwaniki buhule kapa muntu yasayendi munzila ye Ireeza sina nji Isau, iye yabati kamulalilo umwina abawuzi bukulwana bwakwe.
17 For ye know that when he afterward wished to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it earnestly with tears.
Mi mwizi kuti kuzwaho, halakaza kuyola imbuyoti, abakaninwa, kakuli kana abawani chibaka chakubaka, nihabananisi kazinsozi.
18 For ye have not come to a mount that can be touched, and burning with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
Mukuti kanamubezi kwirundu liwolwa kukwatwa, irundu lyamulilo ubbukuka, kelima, kasihwe, ni liñungwa.
19 and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which voice they who heard, entreated that no more should be spoken to them;
Kanamubezi kutolombita ilila, nandi inzwi liwamba kwabo bazuwile mbwiteli kwabo batekeleze kutakuti musiye isinyi limwi izwi musiye.
20 for they could not bear that which was commanded, “If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned;” and,
Kakukuli kana babakuwola kutundamena itayelo ibabahelwe; “Haiba kuti chinyolozi hachikuma irundu, chiyelele kupwacholwa,
21 so terrible was the sight, Moses said: “I exceedingly fear and tremble;”
“Chebaka lyakutiza hahulu kwecho chibabaka Mushe nati, “Nisuhite mane ni chachalika.”
22 but ye have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads, the general assembly of angels;
Nihakwinabulyo, “mubezi kwi Lundu lya Siyone ni kumuleneni uhala we Ireeza, Jerusalema wakwiwulu, hape ni kumangiloi achita zikitikiti asangite.
23 and to the church of the first-born, who are enrolled in heaven; and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect;
Mubezi kukopano yabana bentazi, abo babañolwa mumbuka yakwiwulu. Mubezi kwe Ireeza, Muatuli wazonse, ni huho zabazakulukite babapangiwa balukite.
24 and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant; and to a sprinkling with that blood which speaketh something better than Abel.
Imi mubezi kwa Jesu, musikululi wetumelelano inhya, ni malaha asanseletwe a wamba kuhita malaha a Abele.
25 See that ye refuse not him who speaketh. For if they did not escape, who refused him who spoke his will on earth, much more shall not we, if we turn away from him who speaketh from heaven;
Mubone kuti kamukani yokwete kuwamba. Mukuti haiba kana babawoli kubanduka habakana uzo yababakalimeli mukanda, naswe ketenituwole kubanduka haiba nitusandukila iye yokalimela kuzwilila kwiwulu.
26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now he hath promised, saying, “Yet once more will I shake, not the earth only, but also the heaven.”
Mwinako yimwi, Izwi lyakwe libanyungi ikanda. Kono hanu abahi isepiso mi nati, “Munako yimwi ketenininyunge fela ikanda, kono mane ni mawulu akwiwulu.”
27 And this expression, “Yet once more,” signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, in order that those things which are not shaken may abide.
Aa manzwi, “Inako yimwi,” utalusa kuzwisa zimwi zintu ziwolwa kunyungwa, njikuti, kwezi zintu zibabumbitwe, kokuti zimwi zisanyungwa kazishale.
28 Wherefore receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear.
Chobulyo, kutambula mubuso usanyanganiswa, tulitumele imi chiyi inzila tulumbeke Ireeza chekute ni kukomokwa.
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Mukuti Ireeza wentu mulilo uhisa.
