< Waebrania 12 >
1 Henu, kwa kujha tusyonghokibhu ni libhengu libhaha lya mashahidi na tutaghayi khila khenu kyakikatujhele mela pamonga ni dhambi ambajho jhikatusyonghoka kwa bhujhojhofu. Tujumbayi lubhelu kwa saburi mu masindanu ghaghabhekibhu palongolo pa jhoto.
Therefore let us also, being surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth easily beset us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us;
2 Tughalasijhi mihu gha jhotu kwa Yesu, jhaajhele mwanzilishi ni n'kolo kutimisya imani jha jhotu ambajhe kwa ndabha jha kuhobhoka jhaabhekibhu palongolo pa muene asindamela nsalaba ajhijimuili soni jha muene, na atamili pasi kibhoko kya kulia kya kiti kya enzi kya K'yara.
looking to the author and perfecter of the faith, Jesus, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Ndabha mun'tafakariajhi muene jha asindamele malobhi gha kudadisya kuhoma kwa bhenye dhambi, dhidi jha muene ili kwamba musihidi mkatonda au kusirika mioyo ghya muenga.
For consider him that endured such contradiction by sinners against him, lest ye faint in your souls, and become weary.
4 Mlombosibhu lepi au kutesibhwa mwisindana ni dhambi kiasi kya kumalikibhwa damu.
Not yet have ye resisted unto blood, in your contest against sin;
5 Kabhele mujhebhelili kule kupelibhwa muoyo ambako kukabhalasya kama bhana bhakigosi: “Mwanabhangu, usighatoli kwa bhujhojhofu makerebhukilu gha Bwana, bhwala usikati tamaa pawirekebisibhwa ni muene.”
and ye have forgotten the exhortation, which reasoneth with you as with sons: “My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when reproved by him;
6 Kwa kujha Bwana akan'kerebhukila jhejhioha ambajhe an'ganilu, ni kun'tobha khila muana ambajhe akan'jhamb'el'ela.
for whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth; and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”
7 Sindamalayi majaribu kama kukerebhukibhwa. K'yara ishughulika namu kama kyaishughulika ni bhana, ndabha muana jholekhu ambajhe dadijhe ibhwesyalepi kun'kerebhukila?
It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he, whom the father chasteneth not?
8 Lakini kama kujhelepi kukerebhukibhwa, ambako tete twebhoha twishiriki, basi muenga haramu na sio bhanamunu.
But if ye are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons.
9 Zaidi jha ghoha, twajhele ni bha dadijhitu kidunia bhakutukerukila, na twabhaheshimuili. Je jhikatulondeka lepi nesu kun'tii Dadi ghwa kiroho ni kutama?
Furthermore, we were chastened by the fathers of our flesh, and we gave them reverence; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
10 Kwa hakika bha dadi jhitu bhatutobhili kwa miaka midebe kama kyajhabhonekene kinofu kwa bhene, lakini K'yara ikatutobha kwa faida jha tete ili tushirikiajhi bhutakatifu bhwa muene. Ijhelepi adhabu jha jhifurahisya kwa bhwakati obhu.
For they indeed for a few days chastened us, according as it seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Jhijha ni maumifu. Hata naha, baadajhe jhihogola litunda lya amani jha utauwa kwa bhala bhabhamanyisibhu nakhu.
Now all chastening for the present indeed seemeth to be not joyous, but grievous; but afterward it yieldeth the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.
12 Henu mujhinulayi mabhoko gha ghatepetili ni kubhomba mafugumilu ghinu ghaghajhele dhaifu kujha ghaghajhele ni nghofu kabhele;
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 Munyosiaghe map'etelu gha njayu sya muenga, ili kwamba jhejhioha jhaajhe ndemefu ibetalepi kulongosibhwa mu kujhesibhwa lakini abhwesyajhi kuponyesibhwa.
and make straight paths for your feet, that the lame may not be turned out of the way, but may rather be healed.
14 Mulondayi amani ni bhanu bhoha, ni kabhele utakatifu ambabho bila obhu ajhelepi jhaibeta kumbona Bwana.
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord;
15 Mujhiaghe bhaangalifu ili kwamba asijhi jhaibeta kubhekibhwa patali ni neema jha K'yara, ni kabhele lisihidi lishina lya bhuchungu lyalibetakutuka ni kusababisya malombosi ni kusitula bhamana.
looking diligently, lest any one come short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and the many be thereby defiled;
16 Mulangajhi kujha ijhelepi zinaa au munu jha abeli kujha mtauwa kama vile Esau, ambajhe kwa ndabha jha mlo umonga ahemelisi haki jha muene jha kuhogoleka.
lest there be any fornicator, or profane person as Esau, who for one meal sold even his birthright.
17 Kwa kujha mumanyili kujha baadajhe, bho inoghela kurithi baraka, abelekelibhu, kwa ndabha akabhilepi fursa jha kutubu pamonga ni dadi munu, hata ingawa alondili nesu kwa mahosi.
For ye know that when he afterward wished to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it earnestly with tears.
18 Kwa kujha mwahidililepi mu kidonda ambakyo kibhwesya kukamulibhwa, kidonda kya kijhaka muoto, ngisi, kudumulibhwa muoyo ni mb'elu.
For ye have not come to a mount that can be touched, and burning with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 Mwahidilepi kwa njueghu sya tarumbeta, au kwa malobhi ghaghitokana ni njueghu ambajho jhasababisi khila bhabhap'eliki bhasisomi lilobhi lyolyoha lelakujobhibhwa kwa bhene.
and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which voice they who heard, entreated that no more should be spoken to them;
20 Kwa kujha bhabhwesilepi kusindamala khela kyakyaamulibhu: “Ikajhiajhi hata mnyama jha ikamula kidonda, lazima atobhibhwayi kwa maganga.”
for they could not bear that which was commanded, “If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned;” and,
21 Ghakutisya nesu gha aghabhuene Musa ajobhili, “Nitilili nesu kiasi kya kujhoghaniki”.
so terrible was the sight, Moses said: “I exceedingly fear and tremble;”
22 Badala jhiake, muhidili pa kidonda Sayuni ni mu mji bhwa K'yara jha ajhe muomi, Yerusalemu jha kumbinguni, ni kwa malaika elfu kumi bhabhisherekela.
but ye have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads, the general assembly of angels;
23 Muhidili mu lukhomanu lya bhahogolenu bha kubhwandelu bhoha bhabhasajilibhu kumbinguni, kwa K'yara hakimu ghwa bhoha, ni roho sya bhatakatifu ambabho bhakamilisibhu.
and to the church of the first-born, who are enrolled in heaven; and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect;
24 Muhidili kwa Yesu mpatanisi bhwa agano lipya, ni kwa damu jhajhinyunyisibhu ambajho jhijobha manofu matopu kuliko damu jha Habili.
and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant; and to a sprinkling with that blood which speaketh something better than Abel.
25 Langayi usihidi ukambela mmonga ambajhe ijobha. Kwa kujha kama bhajhepilepi pabhambelili mmonga jha abhaonyili paduniani, kwa bhukweli tubetalepi kujhepa ikajhiajhi tubeta kusanuka patali kuhoma kwa jhola jha ikatuonya kuhoma kummbinguni.
See that ye refuse not him who speaketh. For if they did not escape, who refused him who spoke his will on earth, much more shall not we, if we turn away from him who speaketh from heaven;
26 Kwa bhwakati obhu sauti jha muene jhahugunisi dunia. Lakini henu ahaidi ni kujobha, “Jhakona mara jhenge kabhele nibetalepi kuhugusya dunia jhiene, bali ni mbingu kabhele.”
whose voice then shook the earth; but now he hath promised, saying, “Yet once more will I shake, not the earth only, but also the heaven.”
27 Malobhi agha, “Mara jhimonga kabhele,” jhilasya kubhosibhwa kwa fenu fela kabhele fyafilendemesya, efe ndo fenu fela ambavyo fibhombibhu, ili kwamba fenu fela fyafilendemesyalepi fibakilayi.
And this expression, “Yet once more,” signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, in order that those things which are not shaken may abide.
28 Henu, tujhamb'el'elejhi bhufalme ambabho bhwilendemesya lepi, tuhobhokayi mu hali jha kumwabudu K'yara kwa kujhedekela pamonga ni kutangulila kwa e'khu,
Wherefore receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear.
29 Kwa ndabha K'yara ghwa jhotu ndo muoto bhwa wilya.
For our God is a consuming fire.
