Ahibirania 5
1 Rĩu-rĩ, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene o wothe athuuragwo kuuma gatagatĩ ka andũ na agatuuo wa kũmarũgamĩrĩra maũndũ-inĩ marĩa makoniĩ Ngai, nĩguo arutage maruta na magongona nĩ ũndũ wa kũhoroheria mehia.
For, every high-priest who from among men is taken, on behalf of men, is appointed, as to the things pertaining unto God, that he may be offering [both] gifts and sacrifices for sins, —
2 Nake nĩahotaga gũkirĩrĩria arĩa matarĩ na ũmenyo o na arĩa maturuurĩte, kuona atĩ o nake nĩarĩ ũhũthũ wake.
Able, to have a measure of feeling, for the ignorant and erring, —since, he also, is compassed with weakness;
3 Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũtũmaga arute magongona ma kũhoroheria mehia make mwene, o ta ũrĩa amarutaga nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma kĩrĩndĩ.
And, for this cause, is he obliged—as for the people, so also, for himself, —to be offering for sins;
4 Gũtirĩ mũndũ wĩheaga gĩtĩĩo kĩu we mwene; no nginya akorwo etĩtwo nĩ Ngai, o ta ũrĩa Harũni eetirwo.
And, not unto himself, doth one take the honour, but when called by God, just as, even Aaron:
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o nake Kristũ ndaigana kwĩyoera ũgooci wa gũtuĩka mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene. No nĩ Ngai wamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa; ũmũthĩ nĩndatuĩka Thoguo.”
Thus, also the Christ, glorified not himself to become a high-priest, but he that spake unto him—My Son, art, thou, I, this day, have begotten thee;
6 Na handũ hangĩ oigĩte atĩrĩ, “Wee ũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nginya tene, o ta ũrĩa Melikisedeki aatariĩ.” (aiōn g165)
As also, in a different place, he saith—Thou, art a priest, age-abidingly, according to the rank of Melchizedek: (aiōn g165)
7 Matukũ-inĩ marĩa Jesũ aatũũraga gũkũ thĩ-rĩ, nĩahooyaga na agathaitha Ngai, agĩkayaga mũno agĩitaga maithori kũrĩ ũcio ũngĩahotire kũmũhonokia kuuma gĩkuũ-inĩ, na nĩaiguagwo nĩ ũndũ wa kwĩnyiihia gwake.
Who, in the days of his flesh, having offered up, both supplications and entreaties unto him that was able to save him out of death, with mighty outcries and tears, and been hearkened to by reason of his devoutness,
8 O na gũtuĩka aarĩ mũriũ, nĩerutire gwathĩka nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa aanyariirĩkire,
Even though he was a son, yet learned, from what things he suffered, obedience;
9 na aarĩkia gũtuuo mwagĩrĩru kũna, agĩtuĩka kĩhumo kĩa ũhonokio ũrĩa ũtagaathira harĩ arĩa othe mamwathĩkagĩra, (aiōnios g166)
And, being made perfect, became, to all them that obey him, Author of salvation age-abiding; (aiōnios g166)
10 nake Ngai akĩmũtua mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mũnene o ta ũrĩa Melikisedeki aatariĩ.
Being addressed by God as high-priest—according to the rank of Melchizedek.
11 Nĩtũrĩ na maũndũ maingĩ tũngĩmwĩra makoniĩ ũhoro ũyũ, no nĩ hinya kũmũtaarĩria tondũ mũtinyiitaga maũndũ narua.
Concerning whom, great, is our discourse, and of difficult interpretation, to express, seeing that, slothful, have ye become in the hearing;
12 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, o na gũtuĩka rĩu mwagĩrĩirwo nĩgũkorwo mũrĩ arutani-rĩ, nĩmũbatarĩte mũndũ wa kũmũruta maũndũ marĩa mwarutĩtwo kĩambĩrĩria ma kiugo kĩa Ngai o rĩngĩ. Inyuĩ mũbataire kũheo iria, no ti irio nyũmũ!
For, even when ye ought to be teachers, by reason of the time, again, have ye, need, that one be teaching, you, what are the first principles of the oracles of God, and have become such as have, need, of milk, not, of strong food;
13 Mũndũ o wothe ũnyuuaga iria, tondũ no gakenge-rĩ, ndangĩmenya wega ũhoro wa ũrutani wa ũthingu.
For, every one partaking of milk, is unskilled in discourse of righteousness, for he is, a babe;
14 No irio iria nyũmũ nĩ cia andũ arĩa agima, arĩa nĩ ũndũ wa kũmenyera gũcihũthĩra kaingĩ, nĩmerutĩte gũkũũrana wega na ũũru.
But, to such as are mature, pertaineth, the strong food, to them who, by reason of habit, have their organs of perception well trained for discriminating both good and evil.
