Ebrania 3

1 Ku lulo, anya ndugu eligwa, anya muhangu nia witangwi nua kilunde, musigile uYesu, Mutuung'wa hangi Kuhani nu Mukulu nua ulapi nuitu.

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:

2 Ai watulaa muhuiili kung'wa Itunda nai umusague, anga uMusa nai watuile muhuiili ga nu mito lihi nilang'wa Itunda.

Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house.

3 Ku nsoko uYesu wa aigwe kutula ni ikulyo ikulu kukila nai ukete uMusa, ku nsoko uyo nuizengaa ito nuialigwa kutula ni ikulyo ikulu kukila ito ikola.

For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house, hath greater honour than the house.

4 Ku nsoko kila ito lizengwa nu muntu nua kituunga, kuiti uyo nuizengaa kila kintu ingi Itunda.

For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things, is God.

5 Kulu kuulu uMusa ai watulaa muhuiili anga munya mulimo mi ito lihi nilang'wa Itunda, wazepumya ukuiili kutula makani nu ikatambulwa itungo nilipembilye.

And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said:

6 Kuiti uKristo ingi ng'wana mu wimiili nu ito nilang'wa Itunda. Usese ingi ito nilakwe anga kukaye kuambiila mu ki huiila ni nzagamba a kihuiila.

But Christ as the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end.

7 Ku lulo, ingi anga u Ng'wau Ng'welu nuiligityaa, “Lelo, anga wijaa u luli nulakwe.

Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: Today if you shall hear his voice,

8 Leka kuzipya i nkolo ako kutula nkaku anga i Aisraeli nai azipilye mu upiluki, mu matungo a ugeng'wa mu wii.

Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation; in the day of temptation in the desert,

9 Ili ai latulaa itungo naza i a tata itu ai ampilukile ku kungema, hangi itungo, ku myaka makumi anne, ai ihengile i ntendo niane.

Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,

10 Ku lulo shanga ai ndooeigwe nu ulelwa nuanso. Nikaligitya, “Akulimila kila nkua mu nkolo niao, hangi shanga alingile i nzila niane.

Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways,

11 Ingi anga iti nai ndapile mi ikuo nilane; shanga akingila mi iloeelya nilane.”

As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.

12 Mutule miakendegeeli, anyandugu, iti kina ileke kutula ikoli ikolo nimbi na kuhita kuhuiila ku ung'wi nuanyu, nkolo naza ikulongola kuli ni Itunda ni mupanga.

Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.

13 Badala akwe, Misambiilye kila luhiku kila ung'wi nu muya, iti kila nitangilwe lelo muhung'we nsula, iti kina ung'wi mukati anyu waleke kutendwa kutula mukaku ku ukongelwa nua milandu.

But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called today, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14 Ku ndogoelyo katuile kianya muhangu ang'wa Kristo anga itule kuuambinkana nu ukamatiku nuitu ku ngulu mu ng'wenso kupuma u ng'wandyo kupikiila i mpelo.

For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.

15 Kutula ili yakondyaa kuligitigwa, “Lelo anga mulutegeelye u luli nu lakwe, muleke kuzipya i nkolo nianyu kutula nkaku, anga iAisraeli nai aizipilye ku itungo nila upiluki.”

While it is said, Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation.

16 Ingi a nyenyu awo nai amigulye Itunda nu kupiluka? Shanga ai atuile awo ihi naza uMusa ai watulaa waatongeela kupuma ku Misri?

For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

17 Hangi a nyenyu naza Itunda ai uatakiie ku myaka makumi anne? Shanga palung'wi ni awo nai itumile i milandu, naza i miili ao naikule ai ilae mi ikungulu?

And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?

18 Hangi a nyenyu nai ualapie Itunda kina shanga akingila mi iloeelya nilakwe, anga ize shanga wawo naza shanga amigulye nuanso?

And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?

19 Kuihenga kina shanga ai ahumile kingila mi iloeelya nilakwe ku nsoko a kuhita kuhuiila.

And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
