Hebrews 3
1 My fellow believers, [God] has set you apart and has chosen you, just like he chose me. So consider Jesus. [He is God’s] messenger to us. He is also the Supreme Priest whom we say we believe in.
Bara nani nuwana nilau, anan munu nati nanya nyicillu kitene, yenen Yisa ku, unan kadura nin pirist ule na tiba diu nghe kutyin.
2 He faithfully [served God], who appointed him, just like Moses faithfully [served] God’s people [MTY].
A wandi nin kirki, kiti Kutelle, ulenge na awa ferenghe, Musa wandi nin kirki kilari Kutelle vat,
3 Just like every house is made by someone {as someone makes every house}, Jesus made everything, and he is God/Divine. So God has considered that Jesus is worthy [that people honor] him more than they honor Moses, just like the one who builds a house deserves that people honor him more than they should honor the house [he built].
bara iwa yene Yisa katin Musa ku nin ngongon, bara ulengye na ke kilari, akatin kilaree litime.
Ko kiyeme kilari unitari na ke kinin, vat ulengye na ana ke imon Kutelle ari.
5 Moses very faithfully [served God as he] ([helped/cared for]) [MET] God’s people, just like a servant [faithfully serves his master]. The result was that Moses testified about what Jesus would say later.
Musa fa wadinin kirki nafo kucin kilari Kutelle, vat, a niza uluru umang nimon ulle na iba bellu nin du nbun.
6 But Christ [faithfully serves God as he] ([helps/cares for]) his own people [MTY, MET], just like a [son helps/cares for his own family]. And we are God’s people [MTY] if we continue to confidently [believe in Christ] and if we continue to confidently wait for [what God will do for us].
Bara Kristi ari udina wari kilari Kutelle, assa timono nin likara uciu kibinayi nin nfo figiri bite kitime.
7 The Holy Spirit [caused the Psalmist to write these words in the Scriptures to the Israelites]: Now, when you [(pl)] hear God speaking to you [MTY],
Bara nani, una so nafo na uruhu ulau na bellin “kitimone asa ulanza liwui me,
8 do not stubbornly ([disobey/refuse to] obey [him]) [IDM], [as your Jewish ancestors stubbornly disobeyed him] when they rebelled against [him] in the desert. [At that time, God said to your ancestors], “They tried to determine how many [things that displeased me they could do] in the desert [without me punishing them].
na uwa ti gbas nin nibinayi mine ba, nafo na an Isiraila nanyan kugbas mine, kubi na iwa dumun nani nanya kusho”.
9 Your ancestors repeatedly tested [whether I would be patient with them, even though] for 40 years they saw all the amazing things I did.
Nanere wandi, kubi na ankah mine wa dumuni kubi na kus akut anas, iwa yene adadu ni nghe,
10 So, I became disgusted with those people who saw those things, and I said [about them], ‘They are constantly disloyal to me, and they do not understand how I [wanted them] to conduct their lives.’
Bara nani na nwa lanza nmang kuji kone ba, 'nmini wa bellin, ko kome kubi idin lasuzunu nanya ibinai mine, na inug yiru tibau nighe ba.
11 As a result, because I was angry with them, I solemnly declared, ‘They will not enter [the land of Canaan] where I would let them rest [MTY]!’”
Udi nafo na nwansu isilin nanya tinana nayi nighe, na iba piru nanya nshinu nighe ba”.
12 So, my fellow believers, be careful that none of you is so evil that you stop trusting [in Christ]. That would cause you to reject God who is all-powerful.
Sun seng, linuana, bara iwa lawa nin nayi ananzang an salin yinnu nanya mine, kibinayi ka naki ba kpilliu minu kiti Kuttele nlai.
13 Instead, each of you must encourage each other every day, while [you still have] the opportunity [IDM], in order that none of you may stubbornly [reject God] by [letting others] deceive you (OR, as you deceive yourselves), [with the result that] you [(sg)] sin [PRS].
Nin nani tan atimine agang nibinayi ko lome liri, nin ndandaunu nafo na idin yicu kitimone, bara na warum mine was yita gbas bara karusuzo kulapi.
14 [We must encourage one another], because we [(inc)] benefit from [all] Christ [has done] only if we firmly keep trusting [in him] from the time when we first confidently [trusted in him] until [the time when] we die [EUP].
Bara arike tiso anan munu nati in Kristi, tiwa min uciu nibinayi bite gangang. kiti me unuzun nburne udu imalline.
15 [We can do this] by paying attention to [what the Psalmist wrote in that Scripture passage in which] God said, Now, when you hear me speaking [to you(pl)] [MTY], do not stubbornly disobey me as [your ancestors stubbornly disobeyed me] when they rebelled [against me].
Kitene nilele, ina bellin, “kitimone, assa ulatisa liwui me yenje uwati kugbas nin kibinayi fe, nafo na an Isirala was nanya kugbullu”.
16 ([You must keep trusting in God] because you must remember who it was who rebelled against God although they heard him speaking to them./Do you remember who it was who rebelled against God although they heard [him speaking to them]?) [RHQ] It was people who had certainly experienced [LIT] God’s power. It was all those people whom Moses led miraculously out of Egypt. [RHQ]
Ame ghari ule na awa latiza Kutelle asu Kugbullu? na inughere alenge na Musa wa nutun nani nanya Masare?
17 And ([you must remember] who it was that God was disgusted with for 40 years./do you [remember] who it was that God was disgusted with for 40years?) [RHQ] It was those same people who had sinned like that, and who as a result died in the desert! [RHQ]
Nin naya ghari Kutelle wa nana ayi udu akus akut anase? Na nin nalelere na iwa su alapi, inughe na abi mine wa nnon nanya kushoe?
18 And ([you must remember] about whom God solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I would let them rest.”/do you [remember] about whom [God] solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I [would let them] rest”?) [RHQ] It was those Israelites who disobeyed God.
Udu kiti naya ghari Kutelle wa sillo, na inghe ba piru nanya nnshinu me ba, andi na alenge na isalin ndortu nghe ba?
19 So, from that example we [(inc)] realize that it was because they did not keep trusting [in God] that they were unable to enter [the land where they would rest].
Tina yene nworu na iwase upiru nanya nshinu me bara usalin nyinnu mine.
