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.
Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, 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 was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in 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 he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, just as he who built the house has more honor 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 someone; but he who built 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.
Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,
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 is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope.
7 Ku lulo, ingi anga u Ng'wau Ng'welu nuiligityaa, “Lelo, anga wijaa u luli nulakwe.
Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, "Today if you will 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.
do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
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 tested me and challenged me, and saw my works for forty years.
10 Ku lulo shanga ai ndooeigwe nu ulelwa nuanso. Nikaligitya, “Akulimila kila nkua mu nkolo niao, hangi shanga alingile i nzila niane.
Therefore I was displeased with this generation, and said, 'They always err in their heart, but they did not know my ways;'
11 Ingi anga iti nai ndapile mi ikuo nilane; shanga akingila mi iloeelya nilane.”
as I swore in my wrath, 'They will not 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.
Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away 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 day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by 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 have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to 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 will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."
16 Ingi a nyenyu awo nai amigulye Itunda nu kupiluka? Shanga ai atuile awo ihi naza uMusa ai watulaa waatongeela kupuma ku Misri?
For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, did not all those who 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?
With whom was he displeased forty years? Was not it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
18 Hangi a nyenyu nai ualapie Itunda kina shanga akingila mi iloeelya nilakwe, anga ize shanga wawo naza shanga amigulye nuanso?
To whom did he swear that they would not enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?
19 Kuihenga kina shanga ai ahumile kingila mi iloeelya nilakwe ku nsoko a kuhita kuhuiila.
We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
