Ahibirania 1
1 Matukũ-inĩ ma tene Ngai nĩarĩirie maithe maitũ na tũnua twa anabii maita maingĩ, na njĩra mwanya mwanya,
God, who in many parts and in many ways spoke in ancient times to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by his Son,
2 no matukũ-inĩ maya ma kũrigĩrĩria-rĩ, ithuĩ nĩatwarĩirie na njĩra ya Mũriũ, ũrĩa aatuire mũgai wa indo ciothe, o we ũrĩa thĩ yothe yombirwo na ũndũ wake. (aiōn g165)
whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom, also, he made the ages; (aiōn g165)
3 Mũrũwe-rĩ, nĩwe wonanagia ũkengi wa riiri wake, na nĩwe mũhianĩre mũkinyanĩru kũna wa ũrĩa Ngai atariĩ, ningĩ nĩwe ũnyiitĩrĩire indo ciothe na kiugo gĩake kĩrĩ hinya. Nake aarĩkia gũtheria andũ mehia-rĩ, nĩaikarire thĩ guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa Ũnene kũu igũrũ.
who, being the effulgence of his glory and the exact representation of his essence, and upholding all things by his own powerful word, when he had by himself made expiation for our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtuĩka mũnene gũkĩra araika, o ta ũrĩa rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa aagaĩirwo rĩrĩ inene gũkĩra rĩao.
having become so far superior to the angels, as the name which he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
5 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nĩ mũraika ũrĩkũ Ngai arĩ eera atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa; ũmũthĩ nĩndatuĩka Thoguo”? O na kana akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ ngũtuĩka Ithe, nake atuĩke Mũrũ wakwa”?
For to which of the angels did he at any time say: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again: I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 Na ningĩ-rĩ, Ngai aarehe irigithathi rĩake gũkũ thĩ, oigire atĩrĩ, “Araika othe a Ngai nĩmamũinamĩrĩre, mamũhooe.”
And again, when he brings the first-begotten into the world, he says: And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 Akĩaria ũhoro wa araika oigire atĩrĩ, “Atũmaga araika ake matuĩke huho, nacio ndungata ciake agacitua nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki.”
And of the angels he says: Who makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 No ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ Mũriũ ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Ngai, gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene nĩgĩgatũũra tene na tene, nakĩo kĩhooto nĩkĩo gĩgaatuĩka mũthĩgi wa ũthamaki waku. (aiōn g165)
But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is from age to age: a scepter of rectitude is the scepter of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 Wee wendete ũthingu no ũgathũũra waganu; nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Ngai, o we Ngai waku, nĩakwambararĩtie gũkĩra athiritũ aku othe na ũndũ wa gũgũitĩrĩria maguta ma gĩkeno.”
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore, God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 Ningĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, “Wee Mwathani, o kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ, nĩwaarire mĩthingi ya thĩ, o narĩo igũrũ nĩ wĩra wa moko maku.
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning, didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
11 Icio nĩgũthira igaathira, no wee nĩgũtũũra ũgaatũũra; igaathira o ta nguo.
They shall perish; but thou remainest: and they all shall grow old as a garment;
12 Ũgaacikũnja o ta ũrĩa nguo ndaaya ikũnjagwo; ikaagarũrũka o ta ũrĩa nguo igarũrũkaga. No wee ndũgarũrũkaga, na mĩaka yaku ndĩrĩ hĩndĩ ĩgaathira.”
and as a mantle thou shalt fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nĩ mũraika ũrĩkũ Ngai arĩ eera atĩrĩ, “Ikara thĩ guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo, nginya rĩrĩa ngaatũma thũ ciaku ituĩke gaturwa ka makinya maku”?
But to which of the angels has he said at any time: Sit on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool?
14 Githĩ araika othe ti maroho ma gũtungata, matũmĩtwo matungatagĩre arĩa makaagaya ũhonokio?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister to those who shall inherit salvation?
