Hebrews 3
1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high-priest of our profession, 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 who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses 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 he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as greater than the house is he who built it.
A Yeshu bhanapinjikwa kuishimika kupunda a Musha, malinga nkushenga nyumba anaishimika kupunda nyumba jiyene.
4 For every house is builded by some one; but he who built all things is God.
Pabha kila nyumba pujishengwa naka mundu, ikabheje a Nnungu ni bhaashenga bhapengenye indu yowe.
5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, that he might testify of those things which 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 are we, if we hold fast the confidence and joyousness of our hope.
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 Wherefore, as the Holy Spirit saith: “To-day, if ye hear his voice,
Kwa nneyo, malinga shaabheleketa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, “Monaga lelo mpilikanangaga lilobhe lyangu,
8 harden not 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 where your fathers tempted me by proving me, and saw my works forty years.
Kwekula ashinakulu bhenunji bhashinkuninganga, Nkali bhaibhweninji itendi yangu yaka makumi nsheshe!
10 Wherefore I was offended with that generation, and said, They always err in their heart, but they knew not my ways;
Kwa lyene ligongolyo nashinkulutumbalila lwene lubhelekolo gunjite, ‘Mobha gowe bhanapuganyikanga, Bhakaakagulanga mipanda Jangu.’
11 so I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.”
Bhai, nkutumbala gunumbile, ‘Bhakajinjilanga pa shipumuli shangu.’”
12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing 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 daily, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you may be hardened through 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 Christ, if we hold fast our first confidence firm to the end.
Pabha uwe tubhowe tunalundana na a Kilishitu ibhaga tubhikaga mmitima ngulupai jitukwete mpaka kumpelo.
15 When it is said, “To-day, if ye hear his voice, harden not 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 who then, when they had heard, provoked? Was it not all who came out of Egypt by means of Moses?
Igala ashigani bhapilikenenje lilobhe lya a Nnungu nikwaakana? Nngabha bhowe bhalongoywenje na a Musha kopoka ku Mishili?
17 And with whom was he offended 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 should not enter into his rest, except to those who were disobedient?
Kabhili, ashigani bhubhalumbile kuti, “Bhakajinjilanga pa shipumuli shangu,” ikabhe bhalebhilenje bhala?
19 So then we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Bhai, tubhwene kuti bhangajinjilanga pa shipumuli kwa ligongo lya ungakulupalila gwabhonji.
