Abhaebrania 5
1 Kulwokubha bhuli mugabhisi mukulu, unu auhye okusoka agati ya bhanu, asolelwe okwimelegulu kubhinu bhinu ebhilubhana na Nyamuanga, koleleki abhone okusosha ebhiyanwa ne bhyogo ingulu ye bhibhibhi.
Every High Priest, taken from among men, is appointed as a representative of his fellow-men in their relations with God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices in expiation of sins.
2 Katula okwifulubhyenda kwo bhufula na bhamumu na bhabhambasi kulwokubha omwene ona ajongewe no bhulenga.
And he is able to sympathise with the ignorant and deluded, since he is himself subject to weakness,
3 Kwainsonga eyo, jimwiile okusosha echiyanwa ingulu ye bhibhibhi bhyae lwakutyo kakola kubhibhibhi bhya bhanu.
and is therefore bound to offer sacrifices for sins, not only for the People, but equally so for himself.
4 Na atalio omunu unu kagega echibhalo chinu ingulu yae omwene, nawe nibhusibhusi, abhilikilwe na Nyamuanga, lwakutyo aliga ali Haruni.
Nor does any one take that high office upon himself, till he has been called to do so by God, as Aaron was.
5 Nolo Kristo atekusishe omwene kwokwikola mugabhisi mukulu. Nawe Nyamuanga aikile kumwene ati, “Awe nawe omwana wani, lelo nabha Esomwana wao.”
In the same way, even the Christ did not take the honour of the High Priesthood upon himself, but he was appointed by him who said to him — ‘Thou art my Son; this day I have become thy Father’;
6 Nilwakutyo kaika lindi mulubhaju olundi, “Awe nawe omugabhisi kajanende lwa kutyo aliga ali Melkizedeki.” (aiōn g165)
and on another occasion also — ‘Thou art a priest for all time of the order of Melchizedek.’ (aiōn g165)
7 Omwanya gwa katungu kae chinyamubhili, asabhaga no kusabhila, amusabhile Nyamuanga kwa masiga, kumwene unu katula omukisha okusoka mukufwa. Kulwainsonga yo bhwololo bhwae ku Nyamuanga, onguhye.
Jesus, in the days of his earthly life, offered prayers and supplications, with earnest cries and with tears, to him who was able to save him from death; and he was heard because of his devout submission.
8 Nolwo kutyo aliga ali mwana, eigiye okugwa kumagambo ganu gamunyashaga.
Son though he was, he learned obedience from his sufferings;
9 Akumisibhwe na kwa injila inu akolelwe kubhuli munu unu kamwikilisha kubha nsonga yo mwelulo gwa kajanende, (aiōnios g166)
and, being made perfect, he became to all those who obey him the source of eternal Salvation, (aiōnios g166)
10 kwo kwaulwa na Nyamuanga kuti mugabhisi Mukulu okusiga Melkizedeki.
while God himself pronounced him a High Priest of the order of Melchizedek.
11 China mamfu agokwaika ingulu ya Yesu, nawe nibhikomee okubhelesha kulwokubha emwe muli bhalenga bho kungwa.
Now on this subject I have much to say, but it is difficult to explain it to you, because you have shown yourselves so slow to learn.
12 Nolo kutyo kwo mwanya gunu yaliga jibheyile kubha bheigisha, bhuchalio obhukalalie bhwo kubheigisha ameigishogo kwamba ga ligambo lya Nyamuanga. Omwenda amata okusiga ebhilyo bhikomee.
For whereas, considering the time that has elapsed, you ought to be teaching others, you still need some one to teach you the very alphabet of the Divine Revelation, and need again to be fed with ‘milk’ instead of with ‘solid food.’
13 Kulwokubha ona ona unu kanywa amatala atana bhusombokewe mumisango jo bhulengelesi, kulwokubha achali mwana.
For every one who still has to take ‘milk’ knows nothing of the Teaching of Righteousness; he is a mere infant.
14 Kulubhaju olundi, ebhilyo ebhikomee nikubhanu abhakulu, bhaliya kunsonga yo bhwenge bhwebhwe abhaula obhulengelesi no bhubhibhi bheigisibhwe okumenya elyekisi na libhibhi.
But ‘solid food’ is for Christians of mature faith — those whose faculties have been trained by practice to distinguish right from wrong.
