< Ahibirania 4 >
1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, kuona atĩ kĩĩranĩro gĩa gũtoonya ũhurũko-inĩ wake kĩrĩ o ho-rĩ, nĩtwĩmenyererei gũtikagĩe o na ũmwe wanyu ũtagagĩkinyĩra.
Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.
2 Nĩgũkorwo o na ithuĩ nĩtũhunjĩirio Ũhoro-ũyũ-Mwega o tao; no ũhoro ũrĩa maaiguire ndũigana kũmaguna, tondũ arĩa maũiguire matiawamũkĩrire na wĩtĩkio.
For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.
3 Na rĩrĩ, ithuĩ arĩa twĩtĩkĩtie nĩ ithuĩ tũtoonyaga kĩhurũko-inĩ kĩu, o ta ũrĩa Ngai oigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩĩhĩta na mwĩhĩtwa ndakarĩte, ngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Matirĩ hĩndĩ magaatoonya kĩhurũko-inĩ gĩakwa.’” O na gũtuĩka wĩra wake nĩwathirĩte kuuma o rĩrĩa thĩ yombirwo.
For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 Nĩgũkorwo nĩ harĩ handũ hana aarĩtie ũhoro wa mũthenya wa mũgwanja, akoiga atĩrĩ: “Nake Ngai akĩhurũka mũthenya wa mũgwanja, agĩtigana na wĩra wake wothe.”
For he hath said somewhere of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;
5 O na ningĩ hau mbere nĩoigĩte atĩrĩ, “Matirĩ hĩndĩ magaatoonya ũhurũko-inĩ wakwa.”
and in this [place] again, They shall not enter into my rest.
6 Nĩtũkuona atĩ nĩ kũrĩ amwe matigaire gũtoonya kĩhurũko-inĩ kĩu kĩeranĩirwo, nĩgũkorwo arĩa maahunjĩirio Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega mbere matiatoonyire tondũ nĩmagire gwathĩka.
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o rĩngĩ Ngai akĩamũra mũthenya mũna, akĩwĩĩta Ũmũthĩ, thuutha wa matukũ maingĩ gũthira rĩrĩa aaririe na kanua ka Daudi, ta ũrĩa oigĩte hau mbere atĩrĩ: “Ũmũthĩ, mũngĩigua mũgambo wake, mũtikoomie ngoro cianyu.”
he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.
8 Tondũ korwo Joshua nĩamaheete ũhurũko-rĩ, Ngai ndangĩacookire kwaria ũhoro wa mũthenya ũngĩ thuutha ũcio.
For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
9 Tondũ ũcio nĩgũtigaire Thabatũ ya kũhurũka ya andũ a Ngai;
There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.
10 nĩgũkorwo mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũtoonyaga kĩhurũko-inĩ kĩa Ngai o nake nĩahurũkaga agatigana na wĩra wake, o ta ũrĩa Ngai aahurũkire agĩtigana na wĩra wake.
For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, nĩtwĩrutanĩrie na kĩyo gũtoonya ũhurũko-inĩ ũcio, nĩgeetha gũtikanagĩe mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ũkaagũa nĩ ũndũ wa kũrũmĩrĩra kĩonereria kĩa ũremi wao.
Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience.
12 Nĩgũkorwo ũhoro wa Ngai ũrĩ muoyo na ũrĩ hinya. Nĩ mũũgĩ gũkĩra rũhiũ rwa njora rũnooretwo mĩena yeerĩ, ũgatheeca ũkagayũkania muoyo na roho, o na ũkagayania marũngo na maguta marĩa makoragwo mahĩndĩ-inĩ, na ningĩ ũgatuĩra meciiria na matua ma ngoro.
For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Gũtirĩ kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩa iria ciombirwo kĩhithĩtwo kuuma maitho-inĩ ma Ngai. Indo ciothe nĩhumbũrie na ikaguũrio mbere ya maitho ma ũrĩa tũkaahe ũhoro witũ.
And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kuona atĩ tũrĩ na mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mũnene mũno ũrĩa ũhungurĩte agakinya o igũrũ, na nĩwe Jesũ mũrũ wa Ngai-rĩ, nĩtũrũmiei na hinya wĩtĩkio ũrĩa tuumbũraga.
Having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
15 Nĩgũkorwo tũtirĩ na mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mũnene ũtangĩhota gũtũiguĩra tha ũhũthũ-inĩ witũ, no nĩ tũrĩ na ũmwe wanagerio ikĩro-inĩ ciothe o ta ithuĩ, no ndaigana kwĩhia.
For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin.
16 Hakĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, nĩtũkuhĩrĩriei gĩtĩ kĩa Ũnene kĩrĩa kĩa Wega wake tũrĩ na ũũmĩrĩru, nĩgeetha tũkaiguĩrwo tha, na tuone Wega wake wa gũtũteithagia hĩndĩ ĩrĩa tũbatarĩte.
Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help [us] in time of need.
