< Ahibirania 1 >
1 Matukũ-inĩ ma tene Ngai nĩarĩirie maithe maitũ na tũnua twa anabii maita maingĩ, na njĩra mwanya mwanya,
In manifold portions and in all manners, spake Aloha with our fathers by the prophets from the first: but in these last days he hath spoken with us by his Son;
2 no matukũ-inĩ maya ma kũrigĩrĩria-rĩ, ithuĩ nĩatwarĩirie na njĩra ya Mũriũ, ũrĩa aatuire mũgai wa indo ciothe, o we ũrĩa thĩ yothe yombirwo na ũndũ wake. (aiōn )
whom he constituted the heir of every thing, and by whom he made the worlds; (aiōn )
3 Mũrũwe-rĩ, nĩwe wonanagia ũkengi wa riiri wake, na nĩwe mũhianĩre mũkinyanĩru kũna wa ũrĩa Ngai atariĩ, ningĩ nĩwe ũnyiitĩrĩire indo ciothe na kiugo gĩake kĩrĩ hinya. Nake aarĩkia gũtheria andũ mehia-rĩ, nĩaikarire thĩ guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa Ũnene kũu igũrũ.
who himself is the resplendence of his glory, and the image of his Being, and upholdeth all (things) by the power of his word; and he, in his (own) person, hath made purification of sins, and hath sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtuĩka mũnene gũkĩra araika, o ta ũrĩa rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa aagaĩirwo rĩrĩ inene gũkĩra rĩao.
And this (person) is altogether more excellent than the angels, by so much as the name he hath inherited (is) more excellent than theirs.
5 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nĩ mũraika ũrĩkũ Ngai arĩ eera atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa; ũmũthĩ nĩndatuĩka Thoguo”? O na kana akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ ngũtuĩka Ithe, nake atuĩke Mũrũ wakwa”?
For unto which one from (among) the angels at any time said Aloha, Thou art MY SON; I to-day have begotten thee? And again, I will be to him the Father, and he shall be to me the Son?
6 Na ningĩ-rĩ, Ngai aarehe irigithathi rĩake gũkũ thĩ, oigire atĩrĩ, “Araika othe a Ngai nĩmamũinamĩrĩre, mamũhooe.”
But again, when bringing in the First-begotten into the world, he said, Let all the angels of Aloha worship him.
7 Akĩaria ũhoro wa araika oigire atĩrĩ, “Atũmaga araika ake matuĩke huho, nacio ndungata ciake agacitua nĩnĩmbĩ cia mwaki.”
But concerning the angels, thus hath he spoken: Who hath made his angels spirit, and his ministers a flaming fire.
8 No ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ Mũriũ ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Ngai, gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene nĩgĩgatũũra tene na tene, nakĩo kĩhooto nĩkĩo gĩgaatuĩka mũthĩgi wa ũthamaki waku. (aiōn )
But concerning the Son he hath said, Thy throne, Aloha, (is) for ever and ever, a right sceptre (is) the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn )
9 Wee wendete ũthingu no ũgathũũra waganu; nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Ngai, o we Ngai waku, nĩakwambararĩtie gũkĩra athiritũ aku othe na ũndũ wa gũgũitĩrĩria maguta ma gĩkeno.”
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hast hated iniquity; therefore Aloha thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of exultation more (abundantly) than thy fellows.
10 Ningĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, “Wee Mwathani, o kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ, nĩwaarire mĩthingi ya thĩ, o narĩo igũrũ nĩ wĩra wa moko maku.
And again, Thou in the beginning hast laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
11 Icio nĩgũthira igaathira, no wee nĩgũtũũra ũgaatũũra; igaathira o ta nguo.
They pass away, but thou art enduring; and all they as vestments shall become old,
12 Ũgaacikũnja o ta ũrĩa nguo ndaaya ikũnjagwo; ikaagarũrũka o ta ũrĩa nguo igarũrũkaga. No wee ndũgarũrũkaga, na mĩaka yaku ndĩrĩ hĩndĩ ĩgaathira.”
and as a garment thou shalt fold them up, they shall be changed; but thou (shalt be) as Thou Art, and thy years shall not fail
13 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nĩ mũraika ũrĩkũ Ngai arĩ eera atĩrĩ, “Ikara thĩ guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo, nginya rĩrĩa ngaatũma thũ ciaku ituĩke gaturwa ka makinya maku”?
But to which from (among) the angels hath he said at any time, Sit at my right hand, until I put thine adversaries a footstool beneath thy feet?
14 Githĩ araika othe ti maroho ma gũtungata, matũmĩtwo matungatagĩre arĩa makaagaya ũhonokio?
Are not all they spirits of ministration, who (are) sent forth in service on behalf of those who are hereafter to inherit salvation?
