Waebrania 4
1 Ulwakuva, tunogiewa ukhuva miho, ukuva mugaati mulyufwe sapilondiwa umunu yumo avyakhiva ivoneka eilemwa ukhufikha kuludeva ulyakukyanya ulwa Nguluve.
Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be deemed to have fallen short of it.
2 Ulwakuva lweli, tupulike eilimenyu ilya lugatalukho ilya Nguluve ilyuvatuvulile ufwe ndava Islaeli uvuvale nalyo, hange ilimenyu ielyo salyavatange vavo vapulikhe uvusavakhongine nulwidiko ulwa.
For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it.
3 Ufwe yufwe, tweedike ulweolieko-ufwe fwe tulimugaati tulingila mundugataluko lula, nduvuinchova, “Nduvunaijyiegile munduvipo lwango, Vusavalingiela mundugataluko lwango.” Anchovile ile, ulwakuva imbombo nchoni inchavombiwe ncha silile ukhuhuma kuvutengulilo uwakhilunga.
Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world.
4 Ulwakuva unchovile badebe khusiku iyalekhela khumo, “UNguluve agaatalwike ilijuuva eilya lekhela khumo akhanchileka imbombo nchoni.”
For somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this manner: “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works.”
5 Ulwakhuma munchovile, “Vusavalingiela ndugaataluko ulwamwene.”
And again, as He says in the passage above: “They shall never enter My rest.”
6 Ulwakhuva eiwo, ukhuhuma ndugaataluko ulwa Nguluve pwu kuvale avasigiile ukwingiela, ukhuhuma kuvanya Islaeli avingi uvuvapulike eilimenyu ielinonu ilyalugaataluko lyamwene ilyakwingiela savaingeele ulwakhuva savapulikhagaa,
Since, then, it remains for some to enter His rest, and since those who formerly heard the good news did not enter because of their disobedience,
7 UNguluve hange aviekhile ilijuuva ilienge elyutwita “Ilelo.” Umwene aviekhile ilijuuva ile ukhugeendela khwa Ndaveti, uvianchovile kunsiekhe untali khugala agaanchoviwe kuvutengulilo, '“Ilelo mungapulikage ilimenyu lya mwene, mlekhe ukhunchivieka inumbu nchenyo ukhuva ng'afu.”
God again designated a certain day as “Today,” when a long time later He spoke through David as was just stated: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”
8 Ingave uYoshua avapile ulugataluko, uNguluve pwusakhale inchova kulijuuva ilienge khavili.
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
9 Ulwakhuva yiesigile isabato iyalugaataluko khuvanu ava Nguluve.
There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
10 Ulwakuva uveingile mundugaatalukho ulwa Nguluve vie mwene agaatalwikhe ukhukongana ni mbombo inchamwene, nduvu uNguluve avombile khumwene.
For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His.
11 Pwutuvinchage nukhunogwa ukwingiela mundugaataluko lula.
Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience.
12 Ulwakuva ilimenyu lya Nguluve lyumi hange lilina makha mundu yitema khunu na khunu. Khange linyanya ukhuluteilila ukhuwesa ukhugaava inumbula inchamepo, ni mono inchili mugaati mufilungielo fya mwene.
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
13 Iliwesya ukhuvomba amasaage ga wiegaane wa numbula ya mwene. Khisikuli ikhivumbikhe ikyefihili khumiho gaa Nguluve. Ulwakhuva khila khinu khilipavuvalafu khivonekha khumiho khumunu uvalala ivonesya imbaleelo.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
14 Pavulongolo tulava nu untekhenchi umbaha uvingile khukyanya, uYesu umwana va Nguluve, khumakha twibatelile ulweidiko lwetu.
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.
15 Ulwakuva asikuli untekhenchi umbaha uvisiwesya ukwitwika iekhisa nu uvudekhedekhe weitu, ulwakhuva umwene vyalikhugeilwa khunjila nchoni nduufwe, apange umwene uvyalivuvule imbivi.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.
16 Pwu twinchage namakha pakhinyalwangula ikyantwa ikyaluhungu, pwutwupilile ikhisa nukwupilila uluhungu ulwakhututanga unsiekhe wuu tulemilwe.
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
