< Hebrews 12 >
1 Therefore, indeed, seeing that, we also, have encircling us, so great a cloud of witnesses, stripping off every incumbrance and the easily entangling sin, with endurance, let us be running, the race that is lying before us,
Nipele, uweji tukwete mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵaumboni wanti nyi waukutusyungula, kwayele tutyosye indu yose yaikutusiŵilila, ni sambi syasikutukamulila kwa chitema. Tuutuche pangapwa ntima mu luwilo lwaluli paujo petu.
2 Looking away unto our faith’s Princely-leader and perfecter, Jesus, —who, in consideration of the joy lying before him, endured a cross, shame, despising! And, on the right hand of the throne of God, hath taken his seat.
Twalole Che Yesu jwachitandisye chikulupi chetu, jwelejo ni juchachimalichisye. Kwa liwamba lya lukondwa lulwaliji paujo pao, jwelejo jwapililile kuwa pa nsalaba, namose chaliji chindu cha soni. Ni sambano akutama kunlyo kwa chitengu cha umwenye cha Akunnungu.
3 For take ye into consideration—him who hath endured, such contradiction, by sinners against themselves, lest ye be wearied, in your souls becoming exhausted.
Mwaganichisye kwannope Che Yesu, juŵapililile nkukanilwa kwekulungwa kutyochela kwa ŵandu ŵa sambi. Nipele nkapela namose kupwa ntima.
4 Not yet unto blood, have ye resisted, against sin, waging a contest;
Pakuŵa, mkulimbana ni sambi nganimme kuputana mpaka kuwa.
5 And ye have quite forgotten the exhortation which, indeed, with you as with sons, doth reason: —My son! be not slighting the discipline of the Lord, neither be fainting, when by him, thou art reproved;
Sooni ana nliŵalile agala maloŵe ga kuntusya ntima gakusala Akunnungu? “Mwanangu nkanyelusya Ambuje pakunjamuka, namuno nkapwa ntima pakunkalipila.
6 For, whom the Lord loveth, he doth, discipline, and scourgeth every son whom he doth welcome home.
Pakuŵa Ambuje akunjamuka jwalijose jwakunnonyela, ni kumputa jwalijose jwakunkunda kuŵa mwanagwe.”
7 For the sake of discipline, persevere! As towards sons, God, beareth himself, towards you; for who is a son whom a father doth not discipline?
Mpililile kujamukwa pakuŵa gali majiganyo. Akunnungu akuntendela ŵanyamwe nti ŵanache ŵakwe, pakuŵa ana mwanache jwapi jwangakujamukwa ni atatigwe?
8 If however ye are without discipline, whereof, all, have received a share, then, are ye, bastards, and, not sons.
Iŵaga ngankwamukwa ni Akunnungu chisau achiŵanagwe wose yakuti pakwamukwa, ŵanyamwe nganimma ŵanache ŵausyene ŵa Akunnungu, mmele ŵanache ŵa kuichila.
9 Furthermore, indeed, the fathers of our flesh, we used to have, as administrators of discipline, and we used to pay deference: shall we not, much rather, submit ourselves to the Father of our spirits and, live?
Sooni, iŵaga achatati ŵetu ŵa chiilu ŵaŵatuŵeleche, paŵatujamwiche uwe twaachimbichisye, ana ngati tukusachilwa kulitulusya nnope kwa Atati ŵetu ŵa kwinani kuti tutame?
10 For, they, indeed, for a few days, according to that which seemed good to them, were administering discipline; but, he, unto that which is profitable, with view to our partaking of his holiness:
Achatati ŵaŵatuŵeleche ŵatujamwiche mmoŵa kanandi mpela iŵatite kuwona ili yambone achinsyene. Nambo Akunnungu akutujamuka kwa ligongo lya kutukamusya, akutenda yeleyo kuti tutendekwe ŵaswela mpela asyene.
11 But, no discipline, for the present, indeed, seemeth to be of joy, but of sorrow: afterwards, however—to them who thereby have been trained, it yieldeth peaceful fruit, of righteousness.
Pakukutyochela kwamukwa ngakukuŵa kwakusengwasya, nambo kukusupusya. Nambo kumbesi kwa aŵala ŵaŵajiganyikwe ni kwamukwa ko, kukwapa ukombole wa kupanganya yambone paujo pa Akunnungu ni utame wa chitendewele.
12 Wherefore, the slackened hands and paralysed knees, restore ye,
Kwayele ngalimbisye makono genu ni malungo genu gagapesile.
13 And, straight tracks, be making for your feet—that the lame member may not be dislocated, but, be healed rather.
Njendelechele kwenda mmatala gagoloka kuti chindu chachilemele chikatininguka nambo chilame.
14 Peace, be pursuing, with all, and the obtaining of holiness, —without which no one shall see the Lord:
Nlimbile kutama kwa chitendewele ni ŵandu wose, sooni ntame kwa uswela pakuŵa ngapagwa mundu juchiŵawone Ambuje iŵaga mundu jo nganaŵa jwanswela.
15 Using oversight—lest any one be falling behind from the favour of God, —lest any root of bitterness, springing up above, be causing trouble, and, through it, the many, be defiled:
Nlilolechesye chenene, kuti jwalijose akasausoyasya upile wa Akunnungu, nlilolechesye kuti mundu akaŵa mpela chitela chakuŵaŵa pasikati jenu ni kwika nago malagasyo, ni kuujonanga umi wa ŵandu ŵajinji.
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, like Esau, —who, for the sake of one meal, yielded up his own firstborn rights;
Akapagwa jwachigwagwa, pane mundu jwangaajogopa Akunnungu mpela a Esau, jwakujasile kupagwa kwakwe kwaandanda kwa chakulya chimo.
17 For ye know that, afterwards—when he even wished to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for, place of repentance, found he none, even though, with tears, he diligently sought it.
Pakuŵa nkumanyililanga kuti namuno kanyuma paŵasosile sooni kuupochela upile wakwe kutyochela kwa atatigwe ŵakanilwe. Pakuŵa nganapata lipesa lya kuleka sambi ni kugagalausya gaŵatesile, namuno ŵasosile nnope kwa misosi.
18 For ye have not approached—unto, a searching and scorching fire, and gloom, and mist, and tempest,
Ŵanyamwe ngininnyika ku chitumbi cha Sinai mpela iŵatite kuchiichilila ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli. Chitumbi chikukomboleka kuchikwaya chili nkukolela mooto, pa chipi, ni kusona kwakukulungwa kwa chimbunga,
19 And a trumpets peal, —and a sound of things spoken: —from which they who heard excused themselves, lest there should be added to them, a word;
ni lisegwe lya lipenga, ni liloŵe lininkuŵecheta maloŵe. Aŵala ŵaŵapilikene usone wo ŵachondelele Akunnungu kuti akakunguluka nawo sooni,
20 For they could not bear, that which was being enjoined, —and, should a beast be touching the mountain, it shall be stoned;
pakuŵa nganakombola kupililila lilajisyo lilyatyochekwe lyalikuti, “Juchakwaye chitumbi chi namose chiŵe chinyama, chaponyekwe maganga.”
21 And, so fearful was that which was showing itself, Moses, said—I am terrified, and do tremble!
Ni indu iyaoneche yo yaliji yakogoya nnope, namose che Musa ŵatite, “Ngogopa ni kutetemela.”
22 But ye have approached—unto Zion’s mountain, and unto the city of a Living God, a heavenly Jerusalem, —and unto myriads of messengers,
Nambo ŵanyamwe nkuichilile ku chikwesya cha Sayuni, ni ku musi wa Akunnungu ŵajumi, nnyiche Yelusalemu wa kwinani kwakusongangene achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵangakuŵalanjikwa, ŵakusangalala.
23 in high festival, —and unto an assembly of firstborn ones, enrolled in the heavens, —and unto God, judge of all, —and unto the spirits of righteous ones made perfect, —
Nnyiche ku mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵaali ŵandanda kupagwa wa Akunnungu ni meena gao galembekwe kwinani. Nnyiche paujo pa Akunnungu jwali jwakulamula jwa ŵandu wose, ni paujo pa mbumu sya ŵandu ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu ŵatendekwe ŵamalilwe.
24 And unto the mediator of a new covenant, Jesus, —and unto the blood of sprinkling, more excellently speaking, than, Abel.
Nnyiche ku Che Yesu jwakwilanya jwa lilangano lya sambano ni ku miasi jakwe jajijitiche jajikuŵecheta yambone kupunda miasi ji che Habili.
25 Beware, lest ye excuse yourselves from him that speaketh; for, if, they escaped not, who excused themselves from him who on earth was warning, how much less, shall, we, who from him that warneth from the heavens, do turn ourselves away:
Nipele, nlilolechesye kuti nkakana kumpilikanila jwelejo jwakuŵecheta nomwe. Mpela aŵala Ŵaisilaeli ŵaŵakanile kumpilikanila che Musa, juŵaasalilaga utenga kutyoka kwa Akunnungu paŵaliji pachilambo pano nganakulupuka. Isyene, uweji ngatukombola kukulupuka iŵaga tukukana kumpilikanila jwelejo jwakutusalila utenga kutyochela kwinani.
26 Whose voice shook the earth, then, but, now, hath he promised, saying—Yet once for all, I, will shake—not only the earth, but, also the heaven.
Katema Akunnungu paŵaŵechete pa chitumbi cha Sinai ŵachitenganyisye chilambo, nambo sambano alanjile kuti, “Chinachitenganye chilambo ni ngaŵa chilambo pe nambo kwinani nombe nako.”
27 But, the saying, Yet once for all, maketh clear the removal of the things which can be shaken, as of things done with, —that they may remain, which cannot be shaken.
Liloŵe li “Sooni” likutulosya kuti indu yose yepanganyikwe chiitenganikwe ni kutyosyekwa, kuti indu yangaikukomboleka kutenganyikwa isigalile.
28 Wherefore, seeing that, of a kingdom not to be shaken, we are receiving possession, let us have gratitude—whereby we may be rendering divine service well-pleasingly unto God, with reverence and awe;
Kwayele, pakuŵa tukupochela umwenye wangatenganyika, twatogolele kwa woga ni kwa kwapopelela Akunnungu, kwa litala lichilyanonyelesye ni kwa kulitulusya ni kwapopelela,
29 For, even our God, is a consuming fire.
pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵetu ali mooto waukutinisya.
