< Hebrews 4 >
1 Therefore, let us be very careful so that none of you might seem to have failed to reach the promise left behind for you to enter God's rest.
Lino Lesa walatulayeti tukatambule kupumwina nkwalikwamba, twela kuba bantu bacetuka kwambeti kapatakaba muntu naba umo eshakalilwe kutambula kupumwina uko nkwalalaya.
2 For we were told the good news just as they were. But that message did not benefit those who did not unite in faith with those who obeyed.
Pakwinga nenjafwe tulanyumfu Mulumbe Waina mbuli naboyo ncebalonyumfwa. Mulumbe ngobalanyumfwa paliya ncewalensa, pakwinga balanyumfowa baliya kutambula mu lushomo sobwe.
3 For we who have believed enter that rest, just as he said, “As I swore in my wrath, They will never enter my rest.” Even so, his works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Neco afwe otwashoma Lesa tulakutambulunga kupumwina nkwalatulaya. Cili mbuli mwine ncalambeti, “Ee, ndalakalala ne kulumbileti, ‘Nteti bakengile mucishi ncendalikuyanda kubapeti bakapumwinemo.’” Lesa walambeco nambi calikubeti ncito yakendi ya kulenga cishi yalikuba yapwa.
4 For he has somewhere spoken about the seventh day: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”
Pakwinga mu Mabala napamo palembweti, “Lesa mpwalapwisha ncito yakendi yonse walapumwina pa busuba bwa busanu ne bubili.”
5 And again in this same passage he said, “They will never enter my rest.”
Kayi pa makani opelawa Lesa walambeti, “Nteti bakengilepo mu musena wakendi wa kupumwinamo.”
6 Therefore, because it is still reserved for some to enter his rest, and since many Israelites who heard the good news did not enter it because of disobedience,
Lesa walabambeti nabambi nibakengile mu mumusena wa kupumwininamo. Nomba abo balatanguna kunyumfwa Mulumbe Waina baliya kwingilamo cebo ca kukana kushoma ncalamba Lesa.
7 God has again set a certain day calling it “Today.” After many days, he spoke through David, as it was earlier said, “Today if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
Ecebo Lesa ncalabambila bushiku nabumbi ubo mbwalakungeti “Lelo”. Ebushiku mbwalikwamba Lesa kupitila muli Dafeti, mpopalapita byaka bingi mpwalamba mu Mabala awa ngotulambapo kendi alambangeti, “Na lelo munyumfwe liswi lya Lesa, kamutayumisha myoyo”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken about another day.
Na Yoswa nalacikonsha kwingisha bantu mu kupumwina nkwalalaya Lesa, nshinga Lesa nalabula kwambapo sha busuba nabumbi.
9 Therefore there is still a Sabbath rest reserved for God's people.
Pacebo ico, bushiku bwa kupumwina kwa bantu ba Lesa mpobucili, mbuli Lesa ncalapumwina pa busuba bwa busanu ne bubili.
10 For he who enters into God's rest has himself also rested from his deeds, just as God did from his.
Pakwinga muntu lengili mukupumwina kwa Lesa ekwambeti lapumwini ku ncito shakendi mbuli Lesa ncalapumwina mpwalapwisha ncito shakendi.
11 Therefore let us be eager to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the kind of disobedience that they did.
Neco katwelekeshani cangofu kukutambula kupumwina uko, kutineti kapataba muntu naba umo eshakalilwe kukutambula cebo ca kukana kushoma.
12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword. It pierces even to the division of soul from spirit, and joints from marrow. It is able to know the heart's thoughts and intentions.
Pakwinga Maswi a Lesa nayumi kayi akute ngofu. Alumata kupita cibeshi calumata konse konse. Akute kutimbula pakati ne kushika pekala buyumi ne mushimu, kayi ne pekala mafupa ne mikolofupa. Kayi Maswi a Lesa akute kuyubulula bintu mbyebakute kuyeya ne mbyebasuni bantu.
13 Nothing created is hidden before God. Instead, everything is bare and open to the eyes of the one to whom we must give account.
Paliya cintu ncela kwalilwa Lesa kucibona, ukute kubibona bilengwa byonse mbuli ncebibele pakwinga byonse bili pantangalala, ni kulyendiye nkotwela kucanika ne mulandu wa bintu mbyotwali kwinsa.
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us firmly hold to our beliefs.
Neco katupitilishani kwitatisha mwangofu lushomo lwetu, pakwinga tukute Shimulumbo Mukulene wapita bonse, uyo walakengila kwilu kuli Lesa. Uyu ni Yesu Mwanendi Lesa.
15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot feel sympathy for our weaknesses. Instead, we have someone who has in all ways been tempted as we are, except that he is without sin.
Shimulumbo Mukulene ngotukute nteyo wela kubula kutunyumfwila nkumbo otwalefuka sobwe. Shimulumbo wetu walasunkwa munshila shonse mbuli ncetulasunkwanga, nsombi nendi paliya bwipishi mbwalensa.
16 Let us then go with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Neco katubani bashinisha kayi katuseng'enani pepi ku cipuna ca Bwami bwa Lesa uko kuli kwina moyo, nkweshakatunyumfwile nkumbo ne kutubonesha kwina moyo pa cindi ncetulayandanga lunyamfo.
