Ahibirania 1
1 Matukũ-inĩ ma tene Ngai nĩarĩirie maithe maitũ na tũnua twa anabii maita maingĩ, na njĩra mwanya mwanya,
God, who at sundry times, and various ways, spake of old unto the fathers by the prophets, hath 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 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 refulgence of his glory and the imprest image of his person, and sustaining all things by his powerful word, having by Himself performed the purging away of 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.
Being as much superior to the angels, as He inheriteth a name more excellent 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 did He ever 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 when He again introduceth the First-born into the world, he saith, "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 as to the angels He saith, "Who maketh his angels spirits 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 for ever and ever; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness: (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 lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thine associates."
10 Ningĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, “Wee Mwathani, o kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ, nĩwaarire mĩthingi ya thĩ, o narĩo igũrũ nĩ wĩra wa moko maku.
And in another place, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast founded 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 shall all 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 wilt thou 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 hath He ever said, "Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?"
14 Githĩ araika othe ti maroho ma gũtungata, matũmĩtwo matungatagĩre arĩa makaagaya ũhonokio?
Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to attend on those who shall be heirs of salvation?
