< Ahibirania 2 >

1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩtwagĩrĩirwo kũrũmbũiya mũno ũhoro ũrĩa twanaigua, nĩguo tũtikae gũtũgũgio tweherio kuuma harĩ guo.
So then, we really must pay the utmost attention to the things we have heard, so that we not drift away.
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 through angels became binding, and every violation and disobedience received a deserved penalty,
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 are careless about that tremendous salvation?—it received its beginning through the Lord's declaration and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him[S],
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 adding His[F] attestation by signs, wonders, various miracles, and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.
5 Thĩ ĩrĩa tũkwaria ũhoro wayo, araika tio maaheetwo wathani wayo.
Because it is not to angels that He has subjected the coming inhabited earth, about which we are speaking;
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?
rather, there is a place where someone testified saying: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or son of man that you care for him?
7 Watũmire atigie o hanini aiganane na araika, na ũkĩmũhumba thũmbĩ ya riiri o na gĩtĩĩo,
You made him lower than the angels, for a little while; You crowned him with glory and honor,
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.
You subjected all things under his feet.” It follows that in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not so subjected. However, we do not yet see everything subjected to him, at present.
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 do see Jesus, who ‘was made lower than the angels, for a little while’ (in order to suffer death), ‘crowned with glory and honor’—this, by the grace of God, so that He[S] might taste death on behalf of everyone.
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.
Because it was appropriate to Him[F], for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons into glory, to complete the Author of their salvation through sufferings.
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[S] who is sanctifying and those who are being sanctified are all from One, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them ‘brothers’,
12 Akoiga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngoimbũra rĩĩtwa rĩaku kũrĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Baba; nĩngainaga nyĩmbo cia gũkũgooca ndĩ kĩũngano-inĩ.”
saying, “I will declare Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing praise to You.”
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[F]”; and again, “Here am I and the children whom God has 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,
Since, then, the children have flesh and blood as their share, He[S] Himself likewise partook of the same, in order that through His death He might abolish the one who had the power of death—that is, the devil—
15 na ohore arĩa matũire mohetwo ũkombo-inĩ matukũ mao mothe nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra gĩkuũ.
and set free these [the children] who during their whole lifetime were subject to slavery through fear of death.
16 Nĩgũkorwo ti-itherũ ti araika ateithagia, no ateithagia rũciaro rwa Iburahĩmu.
(Now surely He does not assist angels, but He does assist Abraham's seed.)
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.
That is why He was obliged to become like those ‘brothers’ in all respects, so that He could be a merciful and faithful high priest, in what concerns God, with a view to making propitiation for the sins of the people.
18 Nĩgũkorwo we mwene nĩathĩĩnĩkire rĩrĩa aageragio-rĩ, nĩahotaga gũteithia andũ arĩa mageragio.
For in that in which He Himself endured suffering, having been tested, He is able to assist those who are being tested.
