Hebrews 9
1 [To continue]: In the first [covenant, God] regulated how people [should perform] rituals, and [he told them to make] [MTY] a sanctuary.
Nene nin nalikawali nburne wadi nin kiti ntumuzunu Kutelle, kikane inye, a duka ntimuzune,
2 [That sanctuary] was a tent that [the Israelites] set up. In its outer room there was the lampstand and the table [on which they put] the bread that [the priests] presented [to God. That room] was called ‘the holy place’.
Bara nanya kilari nliran, ina kele kutyi ku, kongo na idin yicu kiti kilau, nanya kiti kane upitila liyisin duku, a kutebul, a uborodi yita ku.
3 Behind the curtain inside [the holy place] there was [another] room. That was called ‘the very holy place’.
Nin mamal kuzeni kibulun kin be nkon kutyi duku idin yicu kiti kilau kang.
4 It had an altar, [made from] gold, [for burning] incense. [It also had the chest which they called] the chest of the covenant. All its sides were covered with gold. In it was the golden pot which contained [pieces of the food they called] manna. [That was the food with which God miraculously fed the people before they entered the promised land]. In the chest there was also Aaron’s walking stick that budded [to prove that he was God’s true priest]. In the chest were also the stone tablets [on which God had written] the Ten Commandments.
Kidinin nbagadi fizinariya bara upizuru nwesu kulapi tutun kite dinin nakpati nalikawali, kanga na ina yacu vat nin nazurfa, nanya lisu fizinariya min umanna, ucah Haruna na tillo, allo natala aba duku an nalikawali.
5 On top of [the chest] were [figures of] winged creatures [that symbolized God’s] glory. Their [wings] overshadowed the chest’s lid where [the high priest sprinkled the blood] (to [atone for/to forgive]) [those who had sinned. I] do not [need] to write about these things in detail now.
Kitine nakpati nalikawali, kuyeli ngongon ncherebin di kitene mmarapin nse nwesu kulapi, konga na tiwasa ti belle nene ba.
6 After all those things were prepared {After they had prepared all those things like that} [in the two rooms of the tent], the [Jewish] priests habitually went into the outer [room of the] tent to perform their rituals.
Asa ikele imone, ame upirist ko kome kubi asa a pira kutyi ndase anan su uhidimomi.
7 But into the inner room, only the Supreme Priest [went], once a year. He always took [LIT] the blood [of animals that they had slaughtered]. He offered them [to God] for his own [sins] and for the sins that other people had committed. They included sins that they did not realize [were sinful].
Ame upirist udia asa apira kutyi kunba ame usame urum ko lome likus, na sa ugutunu mmyii bara litime nan naniti mye bara utazinu kugbas.
8 By those things the Holy Spirit indicated that [just like God] did not reveal the way [for ordinary people] to enter into the inner room while the outer room still existed [MET], [similarly he did not reveal the way for ordinary people to enter the presence of God while the Jewish system of offering sacrifices was in effect].
Nfip milau din dursuzu nworu libau ndu kiti kilauwe Isa puno ba, andi kiti nliran ncizinue duku liyisin.
9 [The things that the priests did inside the outer room] [MTY] symbolized [what was true] during the time [when the first covenant was in effect]. According to [the first covenant] (OR, [In that outer room]), [priests] offered gifts and other sacrifices to God. But [by offering them], the people who brought them were unable to make themselves feel that they were no longer guilty for having sinned.
ulere umusali nko kube, vat unizu nin ngutunu mmii na idin nnizu nene, na a wasa ata nibinai nanan durtu Kutelle lau ba.
10 [They brought those gifts and made those sacrifices] according to [regulations concerning] things to eat and drink, and [according to rules that required people to] wash various things. [God] declared that those regulations about our bodies were to be in effect until [he put into effect the new covenant]; that was a better system.
Inine uliari nin nsonu cas, umunu imusi tibuki nkusu tone vat udukari bara kidowo, na ina ni kamin upese iba da ciu unin kite.
11 But when Christ came as our Supreme Priest, [he brought] the good things that are now available. When he appeared, [he went into God’s presence in heaven. That is like a] [MET] very great and perfect tent not made by humans {which no human made} [SYN]; that is, it is not part of the world [God] created. It was better [than the tent Moses set up here on earth].
Kristi na dak nafo upirist udia, un nimon icine na ina dak, unzu ndia nin gbardang nlau kilari Kutelle, kanga na acara nnitari na ke ba, kanga na kidi kin nyulele ba.
12 [When a Supreme Priest goes into the inner room in the tent each year, he takes] goats’ blood and calves’ blood [to offer as a sacrifice]. But Christ did not [do that. It was as though] he went into that very holy place only once, taking his own blood with him. By doing that, he eternally redeemed us. (aiōnios g166)
Na iwadi bara nmii niyin sa aluka, barci nmii mere Kristi wa piru kiti kilau kubi kurum bara kogha, ase nari usortu sa ligan. (aiōnios g166)
13 The priests sprinkle on people goats’ blood and bulls’ blood and [the water that has been filtered through] the ashes of a [red] heifer that has been [completely burned. By performing that ritual, they can ritually] cleanse the bodies of those who are [ceremonially] unclean. Furthermore, performing those rituals enabled people to have fellowship with God again.
Bara andi nmii niyin nan nadaki ciu uzaminu ntong kuluka kiti nale na idi lau ba, asa mikusu nani ita lau nidowo.
14 [So, because we know what] Christ [accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died for us] [PRS, MTY], we will be very certain that we are not guilty [of having] done those things [that those who are spiritually] dead do. [As a result], we can serve God, who is all-powerful. [The priests always offer to God animals] with no defects. Similarly, when Christ offered himself [as a sacrifice] to God, he was sinless [MET]. He did that as a result of [God’s] eternal Spirit [helping him]. (aiōnios g166)
Ani iziyari bati nmii Kristi, ulenge kiti nfip min sali ligan, awa nii litime ame anansali kulap kiti Kutelle, a kusu nibinai bit nin nadadu tikul tinan tumuzuno Kutelle nlaiya? (aiōnios g166)
15 [By] dying [for us], [Christ] ([redeemed/] free from the penalty for their sins) even those who disobeyed the [conditions of] (OR, [during the time of]) the first covenant. So, [because] no [one could be made perfect by obeying the old covenant], now Christ establishes [between God and people] a new covenant. He does that in order that those whom God has chosen may eternally have [the blessings that God] has promised them. (aiōnios g166)
Bara nanere, Kristi di kiyitik nalikawali apese, uwa so nani, bara awa kuu anan bunku nari unuzu nalikawali nburne, unuzu nsu nduk kulapi bara aworu alenge na Kutelle na yicila nani iseru lukawali ngadu sa ligan. (aiōnios g166)
16 A covenant [is like a will. In the case of a will], [in order to put its provisions into effect], someone must prove that the one who made it has died.
Bara asa umong nsuna uliru kiti na nan kidung mye, uso gbasari idursu ukul nnit une ulenge na an su uliruwe.
17 A will goes into effect [only when the one who makes the will] has died. It is not in effect when the one who made it is still alive.
Bara uciu nliru uso dole cas kiti nle na ukul duku, bara na uso dole kiti nle na adinin nlai ba.
18 And so [God] put the first covenant into effect only [LIT] by means of [animals’] blood that was shed [when they were slaughtered].
Nanere na iwa tunno alkawali nburne sa nmii ba.
19 After Moses had declared to all the Israelites everything that God commanded in the laws [that God gave him], he took calves’ and goats’ blood [mixed] with water. He [dipped into it] scarlet wool [that he tied around] a sprig of hyssop. Then he sprinkled [with some of the blood] the scroll itself containing God’s laws. Then he sprinkled [more of that blood on all the] people,
Bara na Musa wa nii ko uyeme uduka nanya lidu, kiti vat nanit, a wa yiru nmii naluka nan niyin nin nmyen, aca ashine a kufan izob a zamina vat kubanga nan nanite vat,
20 saying to them, “This is the blood [which brings into effect] the covenant that God commanded that you [obey].”
anin woro “monere nmii nalikawali na Kutelle wa ni uduka kitimine”.
21 Likewise, he sprinkled with that blood the tent and every object that they used in performing rituals.
Nanya nimon irume, awa zamin nmii nanya kuteen nliran nan vat nakpangiri na idin su katuwa npirist mung.
22 It was by [sprinkling] blood that they [ritually] cleansed almost everything. That was what [was stated in] God’s laws. If blood is not shed [when people offer a sacrifice, God] cannot forgive [the person who is making the sacrifice].
“Nin nbellen lidu kusan vat nimon asa ikusu nin nmii, sa ugutunu nmii na ushawu kulapi di ba.
23 So, by rituals like that, it was necessary for [the priests] to cleanse the things that symbolized what Christ does [MTY] in heaven. But God has to [consecrate] the [people who will enter] [MTY] heaven [by means of] better sacrifices than those.
Bara nani uwa so gbas nworu imon nanya kitene iba kusu, nin ngutunu nmiii ninawa ntene,
24 Christ did not enter a sanctuary that humans made. That one only represented the true [sanctuary]. Instead, he entered heaven itself, in order to now be in God’s presence [to plead with] God for us.
Bara na Kristi wa piru nanya kiti kilau kanga na ina ke nin nacara nanit, kanga na kidi kuyeli nicine, nin nani apira kitene kane nin litime kikanga na ana duk ubun nmuro Kutelle bara arike.
25 The [Jewish] Supreme Priest enters the very holy place once every year, taking blood that is not his own, [to offer it as a sacrifice]. But when Christ entered heaven, it was not in order to offer himself repeatedly like that.
Na awa do kikane bara ani litime ko kome kubi ba, nafo na upirist udia din suzu, ulenge na adin picu kiti kila, likus udu likus nin nmong nmii ugang.
26 [If that were so], he would have needed to suffer [and shed his blood] repeatedly since [the time when God] created the world. But instead, in this final age, [Christ] has appeared once in order that by sacrificing himself he could cause [that people] no longer will be [punished for their] sins. (aiōn g165)
Andi nani kidegenere, uba so gbasari kitime kubi kurumari, udu kibi nimalin nworu awa nuzu akalla kulapi nin ngutunu nmii litime. (aiōn g165)
27 All people must die once, and after that [God] will judge them [for their sins].
Ina ceo unit akuu urum, mamal nani udak nwucu kidegen.
28 Likewise, when Christ [died], [God] offered him once to be a sacrifice, to punish him instead of the many [people who had] sinned. He will come [to earth] a second time, not [in order to sacrifice himself again for those who] have sinned, but in order to [complete] his saving those who expectantly wait for him.
nanere tutun Kristi, ulenge na iwa nakpa ghe urum ada yaun kulapi nanit gbardang, aba kuru adak unba, na nin woro adas nnono nin kulapi ba, bara udu tucu nalenge na idin ncaa mye nin nayi asheu.
