Abhaebrania 12
1 Kulwejo, nalwakutyo chiindilwe ne lile enene elyabhabhambasi, chese bhuli chinu chinu echikola nichiigwa amwi ne chibhibhi chinu chichisingie kwo bhwangu. Chibhilime kwa jinyimbo ja jijabhuli mubhubhambasi bhunu bhuli imbele yeswe.
Therefore seeing we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Chimulolele Yesu, unu alibhwambilo na unu katula okuchisimbagisha mulikisha lyeswe, unu kwalikondelewe linu litulilweo imbeleyae gwamwiile omusalabha, agaile jinswalo jae, nenyanja ansi ya mukubhoko kwe bhulyo kwe chitebhe cho bhungoma echa Nyamuanga.
Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Kulwokubha mumwiganilishe omwene unu ekomesishe mumagambo go bhusoko okusoka kubhanu bhebhibhibhi, ingulu yae omwene koleleki mutaja kuigwa no kukabha mumyoyo jemwe.
For consider him that endured such hostility by sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Muchali kunyanka no kunyansibhwa ingulu ye bhibhibhi okukingila okuwelwamo amanyinga.
Ye have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
5 Nalindi mwalabhiwe okutulwamwo omwoyo kunu okubholesha kuti bhana bha chilume: “Mwana wani, utagagega kwo bhwangu okusubhilwa na Latabhugenyi, na utafwa mwoyo anu ulatongelwa no mwene.”
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh to you as to children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked by him:
6 Kulwokubha Latabhugenyi kamugonya wona wona unu Kenda, na kamugonya bhuli mwana unu kamulamila.
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 Mwikomeshe mumalegejo lwo kusubhilwa. Nyamuanga kafulubhenda nemwe lwa kutyo kafulubhenda na bhana, angu nimwanaki unu atakuonyibhwa?
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 Nawe labha ataliokuonyibhwa, kuunu eswe ona echisangila, mbe emwe muteile na mutali bhana bhae.
But if ye are without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Okukila gona, chaliga chili na bhalata bhwa kuchalo abhokuchigonya, na chaliga chilibhololo kubhene. Angu jitachiile okukila okumungwa Latabhugenyi we chinyamwoyo no kulama?
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
10 Kwe chimali bhalata bheswe bhachibhumaga ku miyaka mitilu lwakutyo jabhonekanaga kubhene jabhwana, nawe Nyamuanga kachigonya koleleki chibhe bhelu kumwene.
For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Italio chikukujulo chinu echikondelesha kwo mwanya ogwo. Echibha no bhwaswe. Kulwejo, eiya niibhula amatwasho go mulembe kubhanu bheigisibhwe nabho.
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them who are exercised by it.
12 Kulwejo mwimushe amabhoko gemwe ganu galengae no kukola ebhijwi bhyemwe bhinu bhyalengae okubha namanaga lindi;
Therefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 mugolole jinjila jebhigele bhyemwe, koleleki wona wona unu ali mulema atakutangasibhwa mukubhula nawe abhone okwiulisibhwa.
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
14 Muige omulembe nabhanu bhona, nalindi obhwelu bhunu unu atali nbhwo atamulola Latabhugenyi.
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Mubhe bhengeso koleleki atabhao unu alyaulwa kula ne chigongo cha Nyamuanga, na lindi litajakubhao lisina lyo bhusungu linu lilisebhuka no kuleta jinyanko no kujiga bhamfu.
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and by it many be defiled;
16 Mwiyangalile atabhao unu kasiyana nolo munu unu atali mulengelesi lwa Esau, unu kwainjuno ya lilya lya lusiku lumwi agusishe echibhalo cho mwibhulwa.
Lest there be any immoral, or profane person, as Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright.
17 Kulwokubha omumenya ati inyumeyo, ejile enda okulya omwandu gwa mabhando, alemelwe, kwainsonga atabhwene kuta imbele ye semwene, nolo kutyo aigile muno kwa masiga.
For ye know that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
18 Kulwokubha mutejile ku chima chinu echitula okukunyibhwako, Echima chinu echaka omulilo, echisute, okwitwa emyoyo no kuingisibhwa.
For ye are not come to the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor to blackness, and to darkness, and tempest,
19 Mutejile kwo bhulaka bhwa ganyawegona, nolo kwe misango jinu ejisokana no bhulaka bhunu bhuli unu kabhungwa atajakusabhwa musango gwona gwona okwaikwa kubhene.
And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 Kulwokubha bhatatulile kusimbagilila kuchinu chalamuhwe: “Ikabha ati nolo ntyanyi inu eikinga kuchima, nibhusibhusi chibhumwe namabhui.”
( For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with an arrow:
21 Eyokubhaisha muno ganu alolele Musa naikati,”Nobhaya muno kundengo yo kuyalala.”
And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and tremble: )
22 Inyuma yago, nimuja muchima cha Sayuni na mumusi gwa Nyamuanga unu alamile, Yerusalemu eyamulwile, na kubhamalaika elefu ekumi bhanu bhana olumula.
But ye are come to mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 Mwejile mulikofyanyisho mu lya abhebhulwa bho kwamba bhona bhanu bhandikilwe mulwile, ku Nyamuanga omulamusi wa bhona, na kumyoyo ja bhelu bhanu bhakumisibhwe.
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, who are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 Mwijile ku Yesu omugwatanyisha wa indagano inyaya, na kwa manyinga inu yasamuliwe inu eisimula jakisi okukila amanyinga ga Habili.
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 Wiyangalile utaja kumulema oumwi unu kaika. Kulwokubha labha bhatesumbile bhejile bhamugwata oumwi wabhanu abhaonyishe muchalo, nichimali chitalisumba chilibha chainduka kula okusoka kuunu kachilola okusoka mulwile.
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Kumwanya ogwo obhulaka bhwae bhuliyugula echalo. Nawe woli alagile okusimula, “Lichalio olugendo olundi lindi nitakuyugula echalo chenyele, tali no lwile ona.”
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 Amagambo ganu, “Kwiya lumwi lindi,” eyolesha okusosibhwao kwe bhinu bhinu ebhisibhwa, bhinu ni, bhinu bhinu bhimogelwe, koleleki ebhinu bhinu bhitakuyalasibhwa bhisigale.
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Kulwejo, chilamile obhukama bhunu bhitakuyalasibhwa, chikondelelwe mumwanya gwo kumulamya Nyamuanga kwo kwikilisha amwi no kwikeya,
Therefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 kulwokubha Nyamuanga weswe ni mulilo gunu ogulya.
For our God is a consuming fire.
