< Ahibirania 2 >
1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩtwagĩrĩirwo kũrũmbũiya mũno ũhoro ũrĩa twanaigua, nĩguo tũtikae gũtũgũgio tweherio kuuma harĩ guo.
Therefore ought we more diligently to observe the things which we have heard, lest perhaps we should let them slip.
2 Tondũ-rĩ, angĩkorwo ũhoro ũrĩa waririo nĩ araika warĩ mũrũmu-rĩ, na mũndũ o wothe wareganaga na ũhoro ũcio na akaũremera nĩaherithagio o ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire-rĩ,
For if the word, spoken by angels, became steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward:
3 tũngĩkĩaga atĩa kũherithio tũngĩnyarara ũhonokio mũnene ũũ? Ũhonokio ũyũ, ũrĩa waambire kũhunjio nĩ Mwathani, nĩwacookire gwĩkĩrwo hinya kũrĩ ithuĩ nĩ andũ arĩa maamũiguire.
How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? which having begun to be declared by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard him.
4 Ningĩ Ngai agĩĩkĩra ũhoro ũyũ ũira atĩ nĩ wa ma na ũndũ wa kuonania marũũri na morirũ, o na kũringa ciama cia mĩthemba mĩingĩ, na akĩheana iheo cia Roho Mũtheru kũrĩ andũ kũringana na wendi wake.
God also bearing them witness by signs, and wonders, and divers miracles, and distributions of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will.
5 Thĩ ĩrĩa tũkwaria ũhoro wayo, araika tio maaheetwo wathani wayo.
For God hath not subjected unto angels the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 No nĩ harĩ mũndũ mũna ũheanĩte ũira handũ hamwe akoiga atĩrĩ: “Mũndũ akĩrĩ kĩ tondũ ũikaraga ũkĩmwĩciiragia, nake mũrũ wa mũndũ akĩrĩ kĩ atĩ nĩkĩo ũmũmenyagĩrĩra?
But one in a certain place hath testified, saying: What is man, that thou art mindful of him: or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
7 Watũmire atigie o hanini aiganane na araika, na ũkĩmũhumba thũmbĩ ya riiri o na gĩtĩĩo,
Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels: thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, and hast set him over the works of thy hands:
8 na ũkĩiga indo ciothe rungu rwa magũrũ make aciathage.” Nake akĩiga indo ciothe rungu rwa mũndũ-rĩ, hatirĩ kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ Ngai aatigire gĩtarĩ watho-inĩ wa mũndũ. No rĩu tũtionaga indo ciothe irĩ watho-inĩ wa mũndũ.
Thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in that he hath subjected all things to him, he left nothing not subject to him. But now we see not as yet all things subject to him.
9 No tuonaga Jesũ, ũrĩa gwa kahinda kanini watuĩtwo mũnini gũkĩra araika, no rĩu ekĩrĩtwo thũmbĩ ya riiri na ya gĩtĩĩo nĩ tondũ nĩanyariirĩkire na agĩkua, nĩgeetha, nĩ ũndũ wa Wega wa Ngai atuĩke wa gũcama gĩkuũ handũ ha andũ othe.
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour: that, through the grace of God, he might taste death for all.
10 Nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwagĩrĩire atĩ Ngai, ũrĩa wombire indo ciothe na itũũraga nĩ ũndũ wake-rĩ, atũme mwambĩrĩria wa ũhonokio wao aagĩrĩre kũna kũna na ũndũ wa kũnyamario nĩguo arehe ciana nyingĩ riiri-inĩ wake.
For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, who had brought many children into glory, to perfect the author of their salvation, by his passion.
11 Jesũ ũrĩa ũtũmaga andũ matuĩke atheru, o hamwe na acio matuĩtwo atheru, othe matuĩkaga andũ a nyũmba ĩmwe. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ ndaconokaga akĩmeeta ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe.
For both he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying:
12 Akoiga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngoimbũra rĩĩtwa rĩaku kũrĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Baba; nĩngainaga nyĩmbo cia gũkũgooca ndĩ kĩũngano-inĩ.”
I will declare thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
13 Ningĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ngũiga mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ Ngai.” O na ningĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha, na ciana iria Ngai aaheete.”
And again: I will put my trust in him. And again: Behold I and my children, whom God hath given me.
14 Kuona atĩ ciana icio irĩ na mwĩrĩ na thakame-rĩ, we o nake aatuĩkire o tao mwĩrĩ-inĩ, nĩgeetha na ũndũ wa gĩkuũ gĩake ahote kwananga ũrĩa ũrĩ na hinya wa gĩkuũ, nake nĩwe mũcukani,
Therefore because the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner hath been partaker of the same: that, through death, he might destroy him who had the empire of death, that is to say, the devil:
15 na ohore arĩa matũire mohetwo ũkombo-inĩ matukũ mao mothe nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra gĩkuũ.
And might deliver them, who through the fear of death were all their lifetime subject to servitude.
16 Nĩgũkorwo ti-itherũ ti araika ateithagia, no ateithagia rũciaro rwa Iburahĩmu.
For no where doth he take hold of the angels: but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold.
17 Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio no nginya angĩahaananirio na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe maũndũ-inĩ mothe, nĩguo atuĩke mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ tha na mwĩhokeku agĩtungatĩra Ngai, na nĩguo arute horohio nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma kĩrĩndĩ.
Wherefore it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful priest before God, that he might be a propitiation for the sins of the people.
18 Nĩgũkorwo we mwene nĩathĩĩnĩkire rĩrĩa aageragio-rĩ, nĩahotaga gũteithia andũ arĩa mageragio.
For in that, wherein he himself hath suffered and been tempted, he is able to succour them also that are tempted.
