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, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus Christ, the apostle and high priest of our confession,
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 the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God's 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.
Yet Jesus is considered worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself.
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 the builder of 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.
Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, which provided testimony to what would be spoken later.
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 over God's house as a Son. And we are his house if indeed we hold our confidence firm to the end along with the hope in which we boast.
7 Ku lulo, ingi anga u Ng'wau Ng'welu nuiligityaa, “Lelo, anga wijaa u luli nulakwe.
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, “Today, if you 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 rebellion, on the day of testing 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 tried me, tested 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 angry with that generation and said, ‘They always go astray in their hearts; they have not known 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 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.
Brothers, make sure that none of you has an evil heart of unbelief that turns 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 encourage one another each day, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you will 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 sharers in Christ, if indeed we hold our original 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.”
As it is said, “Today, if you 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 some did rebel when they heard God's voice, but not all whom Moses led out of Egypt.
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?
Now with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not 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?
And to whom did God swear that they would not enter his rest, if not to those who were disobedient?
19 Kuihenga kina shanga ai ahumile kingila mi iloeelya nilakwe ku nsoko a kuhita kuhuiila.
So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were not able to enter.
