Hebrews 3
1 Therefore, my Christian friends, you who, all alike, have received the call from heaven, fix your attention on Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our religion.
Su walongu wangu, wantu wa Mlungu yamushemitwi na Mlungu, mumuholi Yesu yakatumitwi na Mlungu kuwera Ntumintumi na Mtambika Mkulu gwa njimiru yeni yatutakula.
2 See how faithful he was to the God who appointed him, as Moses was in the whole house of God.
Yomberi kaweriti mjimirika kwa Mlungu yakamsyaguliti kutenda lihengu lyakuwi gambira Musa ntambu yakaweriti mjimirika kuwatendera wantu woseri wa Israeli, yawashemitwi numba ya Mlungu.
3 He has been deemed worthy of far higher honor than Moses, just as the founder of the house is held in greater regard than the house itself.
Kumbiti Yesu kafiruwa kupananwa ukulu nentu kuliku Musa mana mnyawa numba wampanana ligoya nentu kuliku numba yeni.
4 For every house has its founder, and the founder of the universe is God.
Kila numba wayinyawa na muntu tunga, kumbiti Mlungu ndo mnyawa gwa vintu vyoseri.
5 While the faithful service of Moses in the whole house of God was that of a servant, whose duty was to bear testimony to a message still to come,
Musa kaweriti mjimirika mnumba yoseri ya Mlungu handa ntumintumi, na kalaviyiti ukapitawu wa vitwatira Mlungu hakavitakuli shakapanu.
6 the faithfulness of Christ was that of a son set over the house of God. And we are his house – if only we retain, unshaken to the end, the courage and confidence inspired by our hope.
Kumbiti Kristu ndo mjimirika gambira mwana munumba ya Mlungu, twaweni twenga ndo numba yakuwi, handa patulikolerana na ugangamala na kulitumbira vitwatira vyatulitumbira.
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says – ‘If today you hear God’s voice,
Su ntambu Rohu Mnanagala yakalongiti Mumalembu, “Leru handa pampikanira liziwu lya Mlungu,
8 harden not your hearts, as when Israel provoked me on the day when they tried my patience in the desert,
namtenda myoyu yenu kuwera ikamala mumsindu ntambu yaiwera mushipindi sha majeru kushiwala,
9 Where your ancestors tried my forbearance, and saw my mighty deeds for forty years.
Aku wazewi wenu wanjeriti, tembera wagawoniti matendu gangu
10 Therefore I was sorely vexed with that generation, and I said – “Their hearts are always straying; they have never learned my ways”;
kwa vinja milongu msheshi. Su nushikalaliriti shiyiwuku shawu, na nongiti, kila shipindi maholu gawu gagalambuka, ‘Na wazimaniti ndiri njira zyangu.’
11 While in my wrath I swore – “They will never enter upon my rest.”’
Su nkalaliti, nulirapiti, ‘Hapeni wingiri nakamu pahala paneni pa kwoyera.’”
12 Be careful, friends, that there is never found in anyone of you a wicked and faithless heart, shown by that person separating themselves from the living God.
Su walongu mulikali weri nakiza yoseri pakati penu yakawera na moyu gudoda na yakajimira ndiri ata kulisega na Mlungu yakawera mkomu.
13 Rather encourage one another daily – while there is a today – to prevent anyone among you from being hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
Kumbiti pamwendereya kushipikinira shisoweru “Leru” pashisomwa Mumalembu Mananagala, mulipanani moyu kila lishaka. Su nakawera yumu gwenu yakatendwa moyu gwakuwi kuwera gukamala kwa kupayirwa na vidoda.
14 For we now all share in the Christ, if indeed we retain, unshaken to the end, the confidence that we had at the first.
Mana twenga twankulikolerana pamuhera mngati mwa Kristu payiwera twankutenda kwa nakaka mpaka upeleru kwa litumbiru lyatuweriti nalu pakwanja.
15 To use the words of scripture – ‘If today you hear God’s voice, harden not your hearts, as when Israel provoked me.’
Malembu galonga hangu, “Leru handa pamupikanira liziwu lya Mlungu, namuwera wakakatala gambira, shipindi shilii sha msindu.”
16 Who were they who heard God speak and yet provoked him? Were not they all those who left Egypt under the leadership of Moses?
Ashina gaa yawapikaniriti liziwu lya Mlungu kumbiti pamuhera na hangu waweriti na msindu? Ndo woseri walii yawalongoziwitwi na Musa kulawa Misri.
17 And with whom was it that God was sorely vexed for forty years? Was not it with those who had sinned, and who fell dead in the desert?
Mlungu kawakalaliriti ashina gaa kwa vinja milongu msheshi? Kawakalaliriti walii yawatenditi vidoda, mawuti gawu ganangika kulii kushiwala.
18 And who were they to whom God swore that they should not enter upon his rest, if not those who had proved faithless?
Mlungu pakalirapiti kuwera hapeni wingiri pahala pangu pa kwoyera, kaweriti kankuwatakulira ashina gaa? Kaweriti kankuwatakulira walii yawamtendiriti msindu.
19 We see, then, that they failed to enter upon it because of their want of faith.
Su tuwona handa wingira ndiri aku toziya walemiti kujimira.
