< 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.
Henu hata agano lya kubhwandelu lyalijhele ni sehemu jha ibada pa duniani apa ni taratibu sya ibada.
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’.
Kwani mulihema kwajhele ni kichumba kyakaandalibhu, kuchumba kya kwibhala, pakutibhu mahali patakatifu. Mu lieneo l'ela pajheke ni kinara kya taa, meza ni mikate ghya wonyesho.
3 Behind the curtain inside [the holy place] there was [another] room. That was called ‘the very holy place’.
Ni kumbele jha pazia lya bhubhele kwajhele ni kichumba kh'enge, pakutibhu mahali patakatifu nesu.
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.
Mwajhele ni madhabahu gha dhahabu kwa kufukizila uvumba. Kabhele mwajhele ni lisanduku lya agano, ambalyo lajhele lijhengibhu kwa dhahabu sitopo. Mugati mwajhele ni bakuli lya dhahabu lyalijhe ni manna, ndonga jha Haruni jhajhameli mat'ondo ni s'ela mbao sya maganga gha agano.
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.
Panani pa lisanduku lya agano maumbo jha maserafi gha utukufu kug'upika mababatilu gha bhene palongolo pa kiti kya upatanisu, ambakyo kwa henu twibhwesya lepi kujhelesya kwa kina.
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.
Baada jha fenu efe kujha fimaliku andalibhwa, Makuhani kawaida bhijhingila kichumba kya kwibhala kya lihema kuhomesya huduma sya bhene.
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].
Lakini kuhani mbaha ijhingila khela kichumba kya bhubhele muene mara jhimonga khila mwaka, ni bila kuleka kupisya dhabihu kwa ndabha jha muene binafsi, ni kwa dhambi sya bhanu bhabhasibhombili bila kusudila.
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].
Roho Mtakatifu ishuhudila kujha, njela jha mahali patakatifu nesu jhakona kufunulibhwa kwa fela lihema lela lya kubhwandelu lyakona lijhema.
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.
E'le ndo kielelesu kya muda obhu kwa henu. Fyoha zawadi ni dhabhihu ambafyo fihomesibhwa henu fibhuesya lepi kukamilisya dhamiri jhaiabudu.
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.
Fyakula ni finywaji fiene fiunganisibhu kwa namna jha taratibu sya ibada jhakwisuka. Fyoha efe fyajhele taratibu sya mb'el'e fyaandalibhu hadi ihidajhi amri mpya jhajhibetakubhekibhwa mahali pa muene.
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].
Kristu ahidili kama kuhani mbaha ghwa mambo manifu ambagho ghahidili. kup'etela ubhaha ni ukamilifu bhwa lihema libhaha ambajho jhabhombili lepi ni mabhoko gha bhanu, ambabho bhaulimwengu lepi obhu bhwabhubhombibhu.
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)
lepi sio kwa damu jha mene ni litoli, bali kwa damu jha muene kujha Kristu ajhingili mahali patakatifu nesu mara jhimonga kwa khila mmonga ni kutuhakikishila ukombozi bhwa tete bhwa milele. (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.
Kama kwa damu jha mene ni makambaku gha ng'ombi ni kunyunyisibhwa kwa malienge ghya lilobhi kati jha abhu bhabhabeli kujha kinofu bhatengibhu kwa K'yara ni kubhomba mibhele ghya bhene minofu,
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)
Je nesu lepi damu jha Kristu ambajhe kup'etela Roho ghwa milele akwihomisi muene bila mawaa kwa K'yara, kusudi dhamiri sya tete kuhoma matendo mafu kun'tumikila K'yara jhaajhe muomi? (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)
Kwa ndabha ejhu, Kristu ndo mjumbe ghwa agano jipya. Ejhe ndo sababu ambajho mauti jhibhalekili huru bhoha bhabhajhele bha agano lya kubhwandelu kuhoma mu hatia sya dhambi sya bhene, ili kwamba bhoha bhabhakutibhu ni K'yara bhabhwesiajhi kujhamb'el'ela ahadi jha urithi bhwa bhene bhwa milele. (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.
Kama lijhele agano lyalisindamala, ndo lazima kuthibitishibhwa kwa kifo kya munu jhola jhaalibhombili.
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.
Kwani agano libetakujha ni nghofu mahali kwihomela mauti kwa ndabha jhijhelepi nghofu wakati n'kolo kulibhomba akonaiishi.
18 And so [God] put the first covenant into effect only [LIT] by means of [animals’] blood that was shed [when they were slaughtered].
Hivyo sio lela liagano lya kwanza lyabhakibhu bila damu.
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,
Bho Musa ahomisi khila lilaghisu lya sheria kwa bhanu bhoha, atolili damu jha ng'ombi ni mene, pamonga ni masi, kutambala kidung'u ni hisopo, ni kubhanyunyisili gombo lyene ni bhanu bhoha.
20 saying to them, “This is the blood [which brings into effect] the covenant that God commanded that you [obey].”
Kisha ajobhili, “Ejhe ndo damu jha agano ambajho K'yara abhapelili amri kwa muenga”.
21 Likewise, he sprinkled with that blood the tent and every object that they used in performing rituals.
Mu hali j'helaj'hela, anyunyisili damu panani pa lihema ni fenu fyoha fyafyatumibhu kwa huduma jha ukuhani.
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].
Ni kul'engana ni sheria, karibila khela khenu kitakasibhwa ni damu. Bila kujhitisya damu bhujhelepi msamaha.
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.
Henu jhajhele lazima kujha nakala sya fenu fya kumbinguni sharti fisukibhwayi kwa ejhe dhabihu jha bhanyama. Hata nahu, fenu fya kumbinguni fyene filondekeghe kusukibhwa kwa ejhe dhabihu jhajhijhele bora nesu.
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.
Kwani Kristu ajhingilepi mahali patakatifu nesu papabhombiki ni mabhoko, ambajho ndo nakala jha khenu halisi. Badala jhiake ajhingili mbingu jhiene, mahali ambapo henu ajhele, palongolo pa mihu gha K'yara kwandabha jha tete.
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.
Ajhingili lepi kula kwandabha jha kwihomesya sadaka kwa ndabha jha muene mara kwa mara, kama kyaibhomba kuhani mbaha, ambajhe ijhingila mahali patakatifu nesu mwaka baada jha mwaka pamonga ni damu jha bhamana,
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)
kama ejhu jhajhele bhukweli, basi ngajhijhele lazima kwa muene kutesibhwa mara simehele nesu kuhomela kubhuandelu kwa ulimwengu. Lakini henu ndo mara jhimonga hadi kumwishu bhwa miaka jhajhikifunuili kujibhosya dhambi kwa dhabihu jha muene. (aiōn g165)
27 All people must die once, and after that [God] will judge them [for their sins].
Kama kyajhijhele kwa khila munu kufwa mara jhimonga, ni baada jha ejhu jhihida hukumu,
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.
nahu ndo Kristu ni muene ambajhe ahomesibhu mara jhimonga kusibhosya dhambi sya bhamehele, ibetakuhomela mara jha bhubhele, sio kwa kusudila lya kushughulikila dhambi, bali kwa ukombozi kwa bhala bhabhakandendela kwa saburi.
