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.
Lyabile likowe lyatulibaya nga lino: tubile ni kuhani nkolo ywatamile pae mu'luboko lya mmalyo wa iteo sa enzi kumaunde.
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].
Ywembe nga mtumishi mu'pandu patakatifu, hema lya kweli ambalo Ngwana alibekite, mundu kwaa yeyoti wa waa.
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 mana kila kuhani nkolo ubekwa kutoa zawadi ni dhabihu; kwa eyo ibile muhimu kuba ni kilebe sa kutoa.
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.
Nga kati Kristo ywabile nnani ya nnema, ywembe mana abile kwaa kuhani zaidi ya palyo. Kwa mana babile tayari balo balyotoa ipawa lengana ni saliya.
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!”
Batihudumu kilebe ambacho chabile nakala ni kivuli sa ilebe ya kumaunde, sawa kati Musa ywakanyilwe ni Nnongo palyo apala chenga hema. “Lola,” Nnongo kabaya kuwa, “chenga kila kilebe lengana ni muundo waubweni nnani ya kitombe.”
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 Kristo atipokya huduma yabile bora muno kwa mana ywembe kae nga mpatanishi wa liagano linoyite, ambalo labile tayari kwa ahadi inoyite.
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].
Eyo kati liagano lya kwanza lyabile kwaa ni makosa, kubile kwaa ni haja ya kulipala liagano lya ibele.
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 mana palyo Nnongo atigundua makosa kwa bandu kabaya, “Linga, lisoba lyaisa,'abaya Ngwana,'palyo nalowa tengeneza liagano lyayambe pamope ni nyumba ya Israeli, ni nyumba ya 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.
Lyabile kwaa kati agano lya nilipangilepamope ni tate babe masoba amabgo natibatola kwa luboko kuayongolya kuoma nnema wa Misri. Kwa mana kabayendelya kwaa mu'liagano lyangu, nanenga nibajali kae,'abaya Ngwana.
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 mana yee elo agano nalowa kulipanga kwa nyumba ya Israeli baada ya masoba ago,'abaya Ngwana,'nalowa beka saliya zango mu'mawazo gabe, nalowa kuziandika mu'myoyo yabe. Nalowa kuba Nnongo babe, nabo bababile bandu bango.
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].
Kabapundishana kwaa kila yumo na jirani yake, no kila yumo na nongowe, yake, kabaya, “Myowe Ngwana,” eyo boti kabanitanga nenga, boka nchunu mpaka nkolo wabe.
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.”
Kwa eyo nalowa kuabonekiya rehema kwa makowe yabe, galyo ya haki, kana nigakumbukye masambi gabe kae.”
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 kubaya “Waayambe” alipangite liagano lya kwanza kuwa lyazamani. Na elo nga ambalo atilitangaza kuba lyazamani lyalibile tayari yomoka.
