< Hebrews 9 >
1 Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.
Rĩu-rĩ, kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa kĩa mbere nĩ kĩarĩ na mawatho maakoniĩ ũhoro wa kũhooya Ngai, o na ningĩ nĩ kwarĩ na handũ-harĩa-haamũre gũkũ thĩ.
2 For a tabernacle was prepared. The first room, in which were the lampstand, the table, and the bread of the presence, was called the holy place.
Nĩ kwarĩ na hema yathondeketwo, na kanyũmba kayo ka mbere nĩ haarĩ na mũtĩ ũrĩa wa gũcuuria matawa, na metha, na mĩgate ĩrĩa mĩamũre; hau nĩho heetagwo “Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru.”
3 Behind the second curtain was another room, called the most holy place.
Thuutha wa gĩtama gĩa keerĩ haarĩ na kanyũmba geetagwo, “Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno,”
4 It had a golden altar for incense. It also had the ark of the covenant, which was completely overlaid with gold. Inside it was a golden jar holding the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.
na hau nĩho haarĩ kĩgongona gĩa thahabu gĩa gũcinĩrwo ũbumba, na nĩho haarĩ ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro rĩrĩa rĩahumbĩrĩtwo na thahabu kũndũ guothe. Thĩinĩ wa ithandũkũ rĩu nĩ haarĩ na nyũngũ ya thahabu yarĩ na mana, na rũthanju rwa Harũni rũrĩa rwathundũkĩte, na ihengere cia mahiga iria ciandĩkĩtwo.
5 Above the ark of the covenant, glorious cherubim overshadowed the atonement lid, which we cannot now talk about in detail.
Igũrũ wa ithandũkũ rĩu nĩ haarĩ na akerubi a Riiri, mahumbĩrĩte gĩtĩ-gĩa-tha. No rĩu tũtingĩhota gũtaarĩria wega rĩu ũhoro wa kĩndũ o kĩndũ.
6 After these things were prepared, the priests always entered the outer room of the tabernacle to perform their services.
Nacio indo ciothe ciarĩkia kũbangwo ũguo-rĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai nao maatoonyaga kanyũmba kau ka mbere hĩndĩ ciothe nĩguo marute wĩra wao wa ũtungata.
7 But only the high priest entered the second room once each year, and not without blood that he offered for himself and for the people's unintentional sins.
No rĩrĩ, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene nowe wiki watoonyaga kanyũmba karĩa ga thĩinĩ, na aatoonyaga o ihinda o rĩmwe mwaka, na ndangĩatoonyire atakuuĩte thakame ya kũruta igongona nĩ ũndũ wake mwene na nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma andũ marĩa meekĩte matekũmenya.
8 The Holy Spirit showed that the way into the most holy place had not yet appeared as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.
Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo Roho Mũtheru oonanagia naguo atĩ njĩra ya gũtoonya Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno ndĩakoretwo ĩguũranĩirio ihinda rĩrĩa rĩothe hema ya mbere yarĩ ho.
9 This was an illustration for the present time. Both the gifts and sacrifices that are now being offered are not able to perfect the worshiper's conscience.
Gĩkĩ gĩkĩrĩ o kĩonereria kĩa matukũ maya tũrĩ, atĩ maruta na magongona marĩa maarutagwo matingĩahotire gũtheria thamiri ya mũndũ ũrĩa mũhooi Ngai.
10 They are only concerned with food and drink and various ceremonial washings, regulations for the body until the time of the new order.
Maũndũ macio makoniĩ o ũhoro wa kũrĩa na kũnyua, na magongona ma mĩthemba mĩingĩ ya gwĩtheria na mawatho ma na igũrũ tu, marĩa maathanĩtwo mekagwo nginya ihinda rĩrĩa maũndũ makeerũhio rĩgaakinya.
11 Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come. He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that was not made by human hands, one not belonging to this created world.
Rĩrĩa Kristũ ookire arĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene wa maũndũ mega marĩa marĩ kuo-rĩ, nĩagereire hema-inĩ ĩrĩa nene na nginyanĩru ĩrĩa ĩtathondeketwo na moko ma andũ, naguo ũguo nĩ kuuga ti ya mũmbĩre wa thĩ ĩno.
12 It was not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood that he entered into the most holy place once for all and secured our eternal redemption. (aiōnios )
Ndaatoonyire na ũndũ wa thakame ya mbũri na njaũ; nowe aatoonyire Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno riita o rĩmwe rĩa kũigana na ũndũ wa thakame yake we mwene, arĩkĩtie gũkũũra andũ na ũkũũri ũrĩa ũtagaathira. (aiōnios )
13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a heifer's ashes on those who have become unclean sets them apart to God for the cleansing of their flesh,
Thakame ya mbũri na ndegwa, na mũhu wa moori ĩcinĩtwo, ciaminjaminjĩrio arĩa marĩ na thaahu, nĩciamatheragia na ikaniina thaahu mĩĩrĩ yao.
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios )
Githĩ thakame ya Kristũ, ũrĩa werutire arĩ igongona rĩtarĩ kaũũgũ harĩ Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa Roho wa tene na tene, ndĩngĩgĩtheria thamiri ciitũ makĩria nĩguo itigane na ciĩko iria cierekagĩria mũndũ gĩkuũ-inĩ, nĩguo tũtungatagĩre Ngai ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo! (aiōnios )
15 For this reason, he is the mediator of a new covenant. This is so that, since a death has taken place to free those under the first covenant from their sins, those who are called will receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. (aiōnios )
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, Kristũ nĩwe mũiguithania wa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩerũ, nĩguo arĩa metĩtwo mahote kũgaĩrwo igai rĩrĩa rĩĩranĩirwo rĩtagaathira, kuona atĩ rĩu nĩakuĩte arĩ mũkũũri wa kũmakũũra kuuma mehia-inĩ marĩa meekĩtwo kĩrĩkanĩro-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩa mbere. (aiōnios )
16 For where there is a will, the death of the person who made it must be proven.
Tondũ ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ kwĩgaya-rĩ, nĩ kwagĩrĩire kũmenyeke wega atĩ ũcio wĩgaĩte nĩakuĩte,
17 For a will is only in force when there has been a death, because it has no force while the one who made it is still alive.
nĩ ũndũ kwĩgaya kũgĩaga na hinya rĩrĩa mũndũ ũrĩa wĩgaĩte aarĩkia gũkua; kwĩgaya gũtirĩ hinya rĩrĩa rĩothe ũrĩa wĩgaĩte arĩ muoyo.
18 So not even the first covenant was established without blood.
Ũguo noguo o nakĩo kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa mbere gĩtingĩagĩire na hinya hatarĩ thakame.
19 For when Moses had given every command in the law to all the people, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water, red wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Musa aarĩkirie kũhe andũ othe maathani mothe marĩa maandĩkĩtwo watho-inĩ-rĩ, nĩoire thakame ya njaũ, o hamwe na maaĩ, na guoya mũtune, na mathĩgĩ ma mũthobi akĩminjaminjĩria ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo o na andũ othe.
20 Then he said, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded for you.”
Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩyo thakame ya kĩrĩkanĩro, kĩrĩa Ngai amwathĩte mwathĩkagĩre.”
21 In the same manner, he sprinkled the blood on the tabernacle and all the containers used in the service.
Ningĩ o ũndũ ũmwe, akĩminjaminjĩria Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo thakame o hamwe na indo iria ciothe ciahũthagĩrwo gũtungatĩra Ngai nacio.
22 According to the law, almost everything is cleansed with blood. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
Na ti-itherũ, kũringana na watho hakuhĩ indo ciothe itheragio na thakame, na hatarĩ gũitwo gwa thakame-rĩ, gũtirĩ kũrekerwo kwa mehia.
23 Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in heaven should be cleansed with these animal sacrifices. However, the heavenly things themselves had to be cleansed with much better sacrifices.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, nĩ kwagĩrĩire mĩhaano ya indo iria irĩ igũrũ ĩtheragio na magongona macio, no indo cia igũrũ cio nyene itheragio na magongona mega kũrĩ macio.
24 For Christ did not enter into the most holy place made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one. Instead he entered into heaven itself, to appear now in God's presence for us.
Nĩgũkorwo Kristũ ndaatoonyire handũ-harĩa-haamũre haakĩtwo na moko ma andũ hahaanaine na handũ harĩa ha ma; nowe aatoonyire igũrũ kuo kwene, kũrĩa rĩu arũgamĩte mbere ya Ngai nĩ ũndũ witũ.
25 He did not go there in order to offer himself many times, as does the high priest, who enters the most holy place year by year with the blood of another.
O na ndaatoonyire igũrũ nĩguo erutage igongona kaingĩ kaingĩ ta ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mũnene aatoonyaga Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno o mwaka arĩ na thakame ĩtarĩ yake mwene.
26 If that had been the case, then he would have had to suffer many times since the beginning of the world. But now he has appeared at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn )
Kũngĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, Kristũ angĩtũũraga anyariiragwo kuuma rĩrĩa thĩ yombirwo. No rĩu, matukũ-inĩ maya ma kũrigĩrĩria, nĩaguũranĩirio riita rĩmwe rĩa kũigana nĩguo eherie wĩhia na ũndũ wa kwĩruta atuĩke igongona we mwene. (aiōn )
27 Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that comes judgment,
Na o ta ũrĩa gũtuĩtwo atĩ andũ makuage o riita rĩmwe, na thuutha wa ũguo magatuĩrwo ciira-rĩ,
28 so also, Christ was offered once to take away the sins of many, and will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but for the salvation of those who are waiting for him.
ũguo no taguo Kristũ aarutirwo igongona riita o rĩmwe nĩguo eherie mehia ma andũ aingĩ; nake nĩakaguũranĩrio riita rĩa keerĩ, no tigeetha akuue mehia, no nĩgeetha arehere arĩa mamwetagĩrĩra ũhonokio.
