Hebrews 4
1 [The Israelites did not enter the place where they would rest]. But [God] has still promised us that we can enter the place of resting [in heaven eternally]. So we must beware [of the possibility] that [God] may consider that some of you have failed to enter the [place of] resting [eternally as the Israelites did not enter the place where they would rest].
Su lagilu lilii lwa kwingira pahala pakuwi pa kwoyera lyankali, tulikali weri nakawera muntu yoseri yakasinda kwingira mukwoyera aku.
2 We have heard the message [about Christ], just like [the Israelites] heard [what God promised]. But [just like] the message did not benefit [most of] those who heard it because they did not believe it as [Joshua and Caleb did, it] will not [benefit us eternally if we do not keep believing it].
Toziya Shisoweru Shiwagira shibwerwa kwa twenga ntambu yashibweritwi kwa wantu walii wagona, kumbiti ujumbi yawawupikaniriti uwapananiti ndiri mota yoseri toziya woseri yawawupikaniriti, wawuwankiti ndiri kwa njimiru.
3 We who have believed [in Christ] are able to enter the place of resting [eternally. We know there is a place where we will rest eternally] because God said, Because I was angry with them, I solemnly declared, “They will not enter [the land where] I would let them rest.” [God said that] even though he ceased his work [of creating things] after he created the world.
Twenga yatujimira kwingira kwoyera aku kwakalagiliti Mlungu. Ntambu yakalagiliti Mlungu, “Nkalariti nulirapa, ‘Hapeni wingiri pahala paneni pakwoyera.’” Mlungu katakuliti aga ata handa lihengu lyakuwi lya kunyawa pasipanu lipeliti.
4 What someone wrote somewhere [in the Scriptures] about the seventh day [after he had spent six days creating the world], supports that: Then, on the seventh day, God rested from his work [of creating everything].
Toziya pahala tunga, Malembu Mananagala gatakulila lishaka lya saba handa, “Mlungu kalekiti mahengu gakuwi goseri, kwoyeriti mulishaka lya saba.”
5 But note again what God said about the Israelites [in the] passage that I quoted previously: They will not enter [the land where] I would let them rest.
Na panu shitwatira ashi shitakulwa kayi, “Hapeni wingiri pahala pangu pa kwoyera.”
6 Some people experience entering that [place of resting eternally. But] those [Israelites] who first had the good message preached to them {first heard the good message} [about what God promised them] did not enter [that place of resting], because they refused to believe [God].
Ayi ilanguziya kuwera lagila lya kwingira mukwoyera lyankali, toziya walii yawashipikaniriti Shisoweru Shiwagira pakwanja wajimiriti ndiri na wasinditi kwingira.
7 [But God] appointed another time [when we may enter that place of resting]. That time is now! [We know that is true because] much later than when [the Israelites rebelled against God in the desert], he caused [King] David to write what I have already quoted, Now, when you understand what God is saying [to you], do not stubbornly disobey him.
Mlungu katuliti lishaka limonga kayi, lyalishemwa “Leru,” Kalonga shakapanu kwa njira ya Dawudi, visoweru vyawalembiti kala, “Leru handa pampikanira liziwu lya Mlungu, namuwera wakakatala.”
8 If Joshua had led the Israelites to enter the place of resting, God would not have spoken later about another [time when we could rest] [MET]. [So we know God was speaking about another time when some people would enter that place of resting eternally].
Handa Yoshuwa mekawapanani wantu awa mwoyeru, su Mlungu mekatakuliri ndiri lishaka limonga.
9 So, just like [God rested on] the seventh day [after he finished making everything], there remains a time when God’s people will rest eternally.
Su hangu kwankali kwoyera kwa wantu wa Mlungu gambira Mlungu ntambu yakwoyeriti lishaka lya saba.
10 Specifically, whoever enters God’s place of resting has ceased doing things [to gain God’s favor], just like God ceased doing his work [of creating everything].
Toziya ulii yakingira pahala pa kwoyera pa Mlungu hakaleki lihengu lyakuwi gambira Mlungu viraa ntambu yakalekiti mulihengu lyakuwi na kwoyeriti lishaka lya saba.
11 God severely punished the [Israelites because they disbelieved his message]. So we must strive to experience entering that [place of] resting [eternally], in order that he will not severely punish any of us for not believing [his message].
Su tukamali kwingira mukwoyera amu, su nakawera muntu yoseri pakati petu yakaguwa kwa kulema kumpikinira Mlungu ntambu yawatenditi womberi.
12 [Beware of being insincere about doing this], because the message God [has given us] very powerfully penetrates our thinking more than a two-edged sword [penetrates flesh] [MET]. It penetrates [deeply] into our souls and spirits, as [a sharp sword can penetrate] into our joints and marrow. That [is, by his message God] [PRS] discerns all that we think about, and he discerns all that we desire [to do] [MTY] (OR, [His message] exposes [to us] all our thoughts and all our desires).
Shisoweru sha Mlungu shiwera na ukomu shiwera na likakala, shana ukola gambira upanga yawukola uwega zoseri mbili. Shipena mpaka mngati mumoyu na rohu, gambira upanga yawukola yawuhanja nakamu mpaka mngati mwa viungiru na ufomboru. Visoweru avi vigubutula nfiru na maholu ga rohu zya wantu.
13 God knows everything about everyone. Everything is completely exposed [DOU] to him, [and he is] the one [SYN] who will say whether he approves of what we have done.
Kwahera shiwumbi shoseri shashififikiti kulongolu kwa Mlungu, vyoseri vitulwa paweru kulongolu kwa masu gakuwi, kwakuwi hatutakuli visoweru vyetu vyoseri.
14 We have a great Supreme Priest who ascended through the heavens [when he returned to God’s presence]. He is Jesus, (God’s Son/the man who is also God). So let us firmly profess [what we believe about him].
Su tuwera na Mtambika Mkulu yakingiriti mpaka kumpindi kwa Mlungu, ndo Yesu Mwana gwa Mlungu, tugakoli nentu gatulonga.
15 Our Supreme Priest can indeed [LIT] compassionately deal with us who tend to sin easily, because he also was tempted [to sin] in every way that we are [tempted to sin], and yet he did not sin.
Mtambika Mkulu gwetu ayu katuwonera lusungu kwa legulegu yatwenga, toziya yomberi kajeritwi ntambu yatujerwa kumbiti katenditi ndiri vidoda.
16 So, let us come boldly to [Christ] [MTY], who rules [MET] [from heaven] and does for us what we do not deserve, in order that we might experience [his acting] mercifully [toward us], and in order that we might experience his helping us in a kind way whenever we need [help].
Su tuweri pakwegera pa shibanta sha ufalumi sha maheri ga Mlungu pota lyoga, twanki lusungu na manemu ga kututanga shipindi sha mafiliru.
