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.
Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly 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 a tabernacle was prepared. In the first room were the lampstand, the table, and the bread of the Presence; this is called the Holy Place.
3 Thuutha wa gĩtama gĩa keerĩ haarĩ na kanyũmba geetagwo, “Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno,”
Behind the second veil was a room called the Holy of Holies.
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.
It had a golden censer and the ark of the covenant, which was overlaid on all sides with gold. In the ark were the golden jar containing the manna, the rod of Aaron that had budded, and the tablets 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.
Above the ark were the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.
6 Nacio indo ciothe ciarĩkia kũbangwo ũguo-rĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai nao maatoonyaga kanyũmba kau ka mbere hĩndĩ ciothe nĩguo marute wĩra wao wa ũtungata.
When these things were all in place, the priests regularly entered the first room of the tabernacle, performing their sacred duties.
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 room, the high priest alone entered only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the unintentional sins 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.
By this arrangement the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the holy places had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.
9 Gĩkĩ gĩkĩrĩ o kĩonereria kĩa matukũ maya tũrĩ, atĩ maruta na magongona marĩa maarutagwo matingĩahotire gũtheria thamiri ya mũndũ ũrĩa mũhooi Ngai.
This is a symbol for the present time, during which gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper,
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.
but deal only with food and drink, and various washings and regulations for the flesh, imposed 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 when Christ came as high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands (that is, not of this creation),
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 g166)
he entered once for all into the holy places, not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)
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 goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are defiled, sanctify for the purification 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 g166)
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify your consciences from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios g166)
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 g166)
That is why he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant. (aiōnios g166)
16 Tondũ ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ kwĩgaya-rĩ, nĩ kwagĩrĩire kũmenyeke wega atĩ ũcio wĩgaĩte nĩakuĩte,
For in the case of a will, it is necessary to establish the death of the one who made it,
17 nĩ ũndũ kwĩgaya kũgĩaga na hinya rĩrĩa mũndũ ũrĩa wĩgaĩte aarĩkia gũkua; kwĩgaya gũtirĩ hinya rĩrĩa rĩothe ũrĩa wĩgaĩte arĩ muoyo.
because a will takes effect only after the person's death; it is never in force while the person who made it is alive.
18 Ũguo noguo o nakĩo kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa mbere gĩtingĩagĩire na hinya hatarĩ thakame.
That is why even the first covenant was not inaugurated 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 proclaimed every commandment of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll itself and all the people,
20 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩyo thakame ya kĩrĩkanĩro, kĩrĩa Ngai amwathĩte mwathĩkagĩre.”
saying, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has ordained for you.”
21 Ningĩ o ũndũ ũmwe, akĩminjaminjĩria Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo thakame o hamwe na indo iria ciothe ciahũthagĩrwo gũtungatĩra Ngai nacio.
In the same way, he sprinkled with blood the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship.
22 Na ti-itherũ, kũringana na watho hakuhĩ indo ciothe itheragio na thakame, na hatarĩ gũitwo gwa thakame-rĩ, gũtirĩ kũrekerwo kwa mehia.
Indeed, according to the law nearly everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there 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.
So it was necessary for the copies of the things in heaven to be purified with these sacrifices, but for the heavenly things themselves to be purified 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 did not enter holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true ones; he entered heaven itself, so that he might now appear before God on our behalf.
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 did he enter heaven to offer himself many times, as the high priest enters the holy places year after year with blood that is not his own,
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 g165)
for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to remove sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)
27 Na o ta ũrĩa gũtuĩtwo atĩ andũ makuage o riita rĩmwe, na thuutha wa ũguo magatuĩrwo ciira-rĩ,
And just as it is appointed for men to die once and then face 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 also Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly waiting for him.
