< Hebrews 8 >

1 The main point of [all] that [I] have written is that we have a Supreme Priest like that. He has sat down to rule [MTY] with God [EUP] at the place of greatest honor in heaven.
Henu lijambo lya twijobha ndo e'le: tujhe ni kuhani mbaha jhaatamili pasi mu kibhoko kya kulia bhwa kiti kya enzi Kumbinguni.
2 He ministers in the Most Holy Place, that is, in the true place [of worship in heaven]. That is a place that [Moses’] tent [represented]. The Lord set up the true place of worship. No human [set it up].
Muene ndo n'tumishi mu mahali patakatifu, lihema lya bhukweli ambalyo Bwana alibhekhili, sio munu jhejhioha ghwa kufwa.
3 Every Supreme Priest was appointed {[God] appointed every Supreme Priest} to offer [to God] gifts and sacrifices [for people who sinned]. So, since [Christ became a Supreme Priest], he also had to offer something.
Kwa ndabha khila kuhani mbaha ibhekibhwa kuhomesya zawadi kwa dhabihu; kwa e'lu ni muhimu kujha ni khenu kya kuhomesya.
4 Since there are already [Jewish] priests who offer gifts as God’s laws [require], if Christ were [now living] on the earth, he would not be a Supreme Priest.
Henu kama Kristu ajhele panani pa nchi, muene ngaajhelepi kuhani zaidi jha apu. Kwa kujha tayari bhala bhabhahomisi fipawa kulengana ni sheria.
5 The [Jewish] priests perform rituals which are only a model [DOU] of [what Christ would do in heaven] [MTY]. What [God] told Moses when Moses was about to set up the tent [for worshipping him supports the idea that those rituals were only a model. God said], “Be sure that you [(sg)] make everything according to the model that I showed you on [Sinai] Mountain!”
Bhahudumili khila ambakyo kyajhele nakala ni kivuli kya fenu fya kumbinguni, sabhwa kama Musa bho aonyibhu ni LK'yara bho ilonda kujenga lihema. “Langayi,” K'yaar akajobha, “kwamba tengenesiajhi khila khenu kul'engana ni muundo bhwa ulasibhu panani pa kidonda”.
6 But now as it is, [Christ] ministers in a more excellent way [than the Jewish priests do]. Likewise, the [new] covenant that he established [between God and people] is better [than the old one. When the new covenant was established] {[God established the new covenant]}, he promised us better things [than the laws that God gave Moses did].
Lakini henu Kristu ajhamb'el'eli huduma jhinofu nesu kwandabha muene kabhele ndo mpatanishi bhwa liagano linofu, ambalyo limalikuimarisibhwa kwa ahadi jhinofu.
7 If that first covenant had been perfectly adequate [LIT], God would not have thought that he needed another [covenant/agreement to replace it]. But [it was not adequate, so he needed a new one].
Hivyo kama liagano lya kubhwandelu ngalibelikujha ni makosa, ndipo ngajhijhelepi haja jha kulonda liagano lya bhubhele.
8 Because God declared [that the Israelites] were guilty [of not obeying the first covenant, he wanted a new covenant. This is what] ([a prophet/Jeremiah]) [wrote about that]: The Lord says, “Listen! There will soon be a time when I will make a new covenant with the people [MTY] of Israel and the people [MTY] of Judah.
Kwa kujha wakati K'yara aghamanyili makosa kwa bhanu akajobha, “Langayi, magono ghihida, ijobha Bwana, wakati panibeta kutengenesya agano lipya, pamonga ni nyumba jha Israeli, ni nyumba jha Yuda.
9 That covenant will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I led them out of Egypt [MET] [like a father leads a child] by the hand. They did not continue to [obey] my covenant, so I rejected them,” says the Lord.
Libetalepi kujha kama agano lyanabhombili ni bha dadijhabhi ligono ambalyo nabhatolili kwa kibhoko kubhalongosya kuhoma nchi jha Misri. Kwa kujha bhajhendelili lepi mu liagano lya nene, ni nene nabhajali lepi kabhele, 'ijobha Bwana.
10 “This is the covenant that I will make with the Israelites [MTY], after [the first covenant has ended] [MTY],” says the Lord: “I will enable them to understand my laws [MTY], and I will enable them to obey them (OR, truly know them) [MTY] sincerely. I will be their God, and they will be my people [DOU].
Kwa kujha e'lu ndo liagano nibetakubhomba mu nyumba jha Israeli baada jha magono aghu,' ijobha Bwana. 'nibetakubheka sheria sya jhoni mu mabhuasu gha bhene, na nibetakusilemba mu mioyo ghya bhene. Nibetakujha K'yara ghwa bhene, na bhene bhibetakujha bhanu bha nene.
11 [As a result], no one will [need to] teach a fellow citizen or tell his fellow kinsmen, ‘[You need to] know the Lord,’ because all [my people] will know me: [My people] of every status [will know me].
Bhibetalepi kumanyisana khila mkonga ni jirani ghwa muene, ni khila mmonga ni ndongomunu, ni kujobha, “Ummanyayi Bwana,” naha bhoha bhibetakunimanya nene, kuhoma n'debe mpaka mbaha ghwa bhene.
12 I will mercifully [forgive them for] the wicked things they have done. I will no longer [consider] that [they are guilty for] [DOU] [their] sins.”
Nahu nibetakulasya rehema kwa matendo gha bhene ghaghabelikujha gha haki, na nibetalepi kusikhomboka dhambi sya bhene kabhele.”
13 Since God spoke about a new [covenant], he considered that the first [covenant] was no longer in use, and that it would soon disappear, just like [anything that] gets old [will disappear] [MET, DOU].
Kwa kujobha “Mpya,” alibhombili liagano lya kuanza kujha lilala. Ni e'lu ambalyo alitangasili kujha lilala lijhele tayari kuhoka.
