< Ahibirania 2 >
1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩtwagĩrĩirwo kũrũmbũiya mũno ũhoro ũrĩa twanaigua, nĩguo tũtikae gũtũgũgio tweherio kuuma harĩ guo.
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest haply we 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 through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just retribution,
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 at the first was spoken through the Lord, and was confirmed to us through those who 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, both with signs and wonders, and divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his will?
5 Thĩ ĩrĩa tũkwaria ũhoro wayo, araika tio maaheetwo wathani wayo.
For not to angels did he put in subjection the world to come, of 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?
But one in a certain place bore testimony, saying, “What is man, that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man, that thou carest for him?
7 Watũmire atigie o hanini aiganane na araika, na ũkĩmũhumba thũmbĩ ya riiri o na gĩtĩĩo,
Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst 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.
thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he put all things in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under 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 him who was made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, on account of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor; that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.
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 through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect 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 that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren;
12 Akoiga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngoimbũra rĩĩtwa rĩaku kũrĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Baba; nĩngainaga nyĩmbo cia gũkũgooca ndĩ kĩũngano-inĩ.”
saying, “I will declare thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I sing praise to 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 the children which God gave 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,
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner shared in the same, that through death he might bring to nought him 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 might deliver those who, through fear of death, were all their life-time subject to bondage.
16 Nĩgũkorwo ti-itherũ ti araika ateithagia, no ateithagia rũciaro rwa Iburahĩmu.
For surely he doth not help angels, but he helpeth the offspring of Abraham.
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.
Whence it was right for him to be in all respects made like to his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high-priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
18 Nĩgũkorwo we mwene nĩathĩĩnĩkire rĩrĩa aageragio-rĩ, nĩahotaga gũteithia andũ arĩa mageragio.
For in that he himself hath suffered, being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
