< Ahibirania 1 >

1 Matukũ-inĩ ma tene Ngai nĩarĩirie maithe maitũ na tũnua twa anabii maita maingĩ, na njĩra mwanya mwanya,
GOD, who spake to the fathers of old at various times, and in different manners by the prophets,
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)
in these last days hath spoken to us by a Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (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 splendour of his glory, and the very impress of his substance, and upholding all things with his powerful word, by himself having effected the cleansing of our sins, he sat down at the right hand of Majesty on high;
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtuĩka mũnene gũkĩra araika, o ta ũrĩa rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa aagaĩirwo rĩrĩ inene gũkĩra rĩao.
made as much superior to the angels, as he hath inherited a more distinguished name than they.
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 ever said he, “My Son art thou, I have to-day 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 introduces the first-begotten into the world, he saith, “Let all the angels of God also worship him.”
7 Akĩaria ũhoro wa araika oigire atĩrĩ, “Atũmaga araika ake matuĩke huho, nacio ndungata ciake agacitua nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki.”
And concerning the angels indeed he thus speaks: “Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministering servants 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 unto eternity; a sceptre of rectitude is the sceptre 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, hath anointed thee with the oil of exultation above those who partake with thee.”
10 Ningĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, “Wee Mwathani, o kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ, nĩwaarire mĩthingi ya thĩ, o narĩo igũrũ nĩ wĩra wa moko maku.
“And thou from the beginning, O Lord, hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thine hands.
11 Icio nĩgũthira igaathira, no wee nĩgũtũũra ũgaatũũra; igaathira o ta nguo.
They will be destroyed, but thou remainest; and they all will 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 cloak thou wilt wrap them up, and they will undergo a change: but thou art the same, and thy years will never end.”
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”?
Unto which indeed of the angels said he ever, “Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies for a footstool of thy feet?”
14 Githĩ araika othe ti maroho ma gũtungata, matũmĩtwo matungatagĩre arĩa makaagaya ũhonokio?
Are they not all ministerial spirits, sent to perform service on account of those who are about to inherit salvation?
