< 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 therefore fear, lest, a promise being left [us] of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to 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 unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard [it].
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 which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall 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 spake in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God did rest 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, If they shall 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 must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
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.”
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will 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 Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 Tondũ ũcio nĩgũtigaire Thabatũ ya kũhurũka ya andũ a Ngai;
There remaineth therefore a rest to 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, he also hath ceased from his own 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 labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
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] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of 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.
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened unto 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.
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.
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 an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was 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 come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
