< Ahibirania 9 >
1 Rĩu-rĩ, kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa kĩa mbere nĩ kĩarĩ na mawatho maakoniĩ ũhoro wa kũhooya Ngai, o na ningĩ nĩ kwarĩ na handũ-harĩa-haamũre gũkũ thĩ.
Then truly the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
2 Nĩ kwarĩ na hema yathondeketwo, na kanyũmba kayo ka mbere nĩ haarĩ na mũtĩ ũrĩa wa gũcuuria matawa, na metha, na mĩgate ĩrĩa mĩamũre; hau nĩho heetagwo “Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru.”
For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the show bread; which is called the sanctuary.
3 Thuutha wa gĩtama gĩa keerĩ haarĩ na kanyũmba geetagwo, “Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno,”
And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
4 na hau nĩho haarĩ kĩgongona gĩa thahabu gĩa gũcinĩrwo ũbumba, na nĩho haarĩ ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro rĩrĩa rĩahumbĩrĩtwo na thahabu kũndũ guothe. Thĩinĩ wa ithandũkũ rĩu nĩ haarĩ na nyũngũ ya thahabu yarĩ na mana, na rũthanju rwa Harũni rũrĩa rwathundũkĩte, na ihengere cia mahiga iria ciandĩkĩtwo.
Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
5 Igũrũ wa ithandũkũ rĩu nĩ haarĩ na akerubi a Riiri, mahumbĩrĩte gĩtĩ-gĩa-tha. No rĩu tũtingĩhota gũtaarĩria wega rĩu ũhoro wa kĩndũ o kĩndũ.
And over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
6 Nacio indo ciothe ciarĩkia kũbangwo ũguo-rĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai nao maatoonyaga kanyũmba kau ka mbere hĩndĩ ciothe nĩguo marute wĩra wao wa ũtungata.
Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
7 No rĩrĩ, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene nowe wiki watoonyaga kanyũmba karĩa ga thĩinĩ, na aatoonyaga o ihinda o rĩmwe mwaka, na ndangĩatoonyire atakuuĩte thakame ya kũruta igongona nĩ ũndũ wake mwene na nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma andũ marĩa meekĩte matekũmenya.
But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
8 Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo Roho Mũtheru oonanagia naguo atĩ njĩra ya gũtoonya Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno ndĩakoretwo ĩguũranĩirio ihinda rĩrĩa rĩothe hema ya mbere yarĩ ho.
The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
9 Gĩkĩ gĩkĩrĩ o kĩonereria kĩa matukũ maya tũrĩ, atĩ maruta na magongona marĩa maarutagwo matingĩahotire gũtheria thamiri ya mũndũ ũrĩa mũhooi Ngai.
Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
10 Maũndũ macio makoniĩ o ũhoro wa kũrĩa na kũnyua, na magongona ma mĩthemba mĩingĩ ya gwĩtheria na mawatho ma na igũrũ tu, marĩa maathanĩtwo mekagwo nginya ihinda rĩrĩa maũndũ makeerũhio rĩgaakinya.
Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
11 Rĩrĩa Kristũ ookire arĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene wa maũndũ mega marĩa marĩ kuo-rĩ, nĩagereire hema-inĩ ĩrĩa nene na nginyanĩru ĩrĩa ĩtathondeketwo na moko ma andũ, naguo ũguo nĩ kuuga ti ya mũmbĩre wa thĩ ĩno.
But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12 Ndaatoonyire na ũndũ wa thakame ya mbũri na njaũ; nowe aatoonyire Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno riita o rĩmwe rĩa kũigana na ũndũ wa thakame yake we mwene, arĩkĩtie gũkũũra andũ na ũkũũri ũrĩa ũtagaathira. (aiōnios )
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (aiōnios )
13 Thakame ya mbũri na ndegwa, na mũhu wa moori ĩcinĩtwo, ciaminjaminjĩrio arĩa marĩ na thaahu, nĩciamatheragia na ikaniina thaahu mĩĩrĩ yao.
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh:
14 Githĩ thakame ya Kristũ, ũrĩa werutire arĩ igongona rĩtarĩ kaũũgũ harĩ Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa Roho wa tene na tene, ndĩngĩgĩtheria thamiri ciitũ makĩria nĩguo itigane na ciĩko iria cierekagĩria mũndũ gĩkuũ-inĩ, nĩguo tũtungatagĩre Ngai ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo! (aiōnios )
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios )
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, Kristũ nĩwe mũiguithania wa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩerũ, nĩguo arĩa metĩtwo mahote kũgaĩrwo igai rĩrĩa rĩĩranĩirwo rĩtagaathira, kuona atĩ rĩu nĩakuĩte arĩ mũkũũri wa kũmakũũra kuuma mehia-inĩ marĩa meekĩtwo kĩrĩkanĩro-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩa mbere. (aiōnios )
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. (aiōnios )
16 Tondũ ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ kwĩgaya-rĩ, nĩ kwagĩrĩire kũmenyeke wega atĩ ũcio wĩgaĩte nĩakuĩte,
For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 nĩ ũndũ kwĩgaya kũgĩaga na hinya rĩrĩa mũndũ ũrĩa wĩgaĩte aarĩkia gũkua; kwĩgaya gũtirĩ hinya rĩrĩa rĩothe ũrĩa wĩgaĩte arĩ muoyo.
For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator lives.
18 Ũguo noguo o nakĩo kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa mbere gĩtingĩagĩire na hinya hatarĩ thakame.
Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
19 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Musa aarĩkirie kũhe andũ othe maathani mothe marĩa maandĩkĩtwo watho-inĩ-rĩ, nĩoire thakame ya njaũ, o hamwe na maaĩ, na guoya mũtune, na mathĩgĩ ma mũthobi akĩminjaminjĩria ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo o na andũ othe.
For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
20 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩyo thakame ya kĩrĩkanĩro, kĩrĩa Ngai amwathĩte mwathĩkagĩre.”
Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God has enjoined to you.
21 Ningĩ o ũndũ ũmwe, akĩminjaminjĩria Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo thakame o hamwe na indo iria ciothe ciahũthagĩrwo gũtungatĩra Ngai nacio.
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 Na ti-itherũ, kũringana na watho hakuhĩ indo ciothe itheragio na thakame, na hatarĩ gũitwo gwa thakame-rĩ, gũtirĩ kũrekerwo kwa mehia.
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, nĩ kwagĩrĩire mĩhaano ya indo iria irĩ igũrũ ĩtheragio na magongona macio, no indo cia igũrũ cio nyene itheragio na magongona mega kũrĩ macio.
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 Nĩgũkorwo Kristũ ndaatoonyire handũ-harĩa-haamũre haakĩtwo na moko ma andũ hahaanaine na handũ harĩa ha ma; nowe aatoonyire igũrũ kuo kwene, kũrĩa rĩu arũgamĩte mbere ya Ngai nĩ ũndũ witũ.
For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25 O na ndaatoonyire igũrũ nĩguo erutage igongona kaingĩ kaingĩ ta ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mũnene aatoonyaga Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno o mwaka arĩ na thakame ĩtarĩ yake mwene.
Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 Kũngĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, Kristũ angĩtũũraga anyariiragwo kuuma rĩrĩa thĩ yombirwo. No rĩu, matukũ-inĩ maya ma kũrigĩrĩria, nĩaguũranĩirio riita rĩmwe rĩa kũigana nĩguo eherie wĩhia na ũndũ wa kwĩruta atuĩke igongona we mwene. (aiōn )
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world has he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn )
27 Na o ta ũrĩa gũtuĩtwo atĩ andũ makuage o riita rĩmwe, na thuutha wa ũguo magatuĩrwo ciira-rĩ,
And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 ũguo no taguo Kristũ aarutirwo igongona riita o rĩmwe nĩguo eherie mehia ma andũ aingĩ; nake nĩakaguũranĩrio riita rĩa keerĩ, no tigeetha akuue mehia, no nĩgeetha arehere arĩa mamwetagĩrĩra ũhonokio.
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin to salvation.
