Maheberu 2

1 Nihakwinabulyo tuswanela kutwaliza hahulu maikuto etu kuzitubazuwi, kokuti kanji tuzwi kuzili.

For this reason we should give heed more abundantly to the things [we have] heard, lest in any way we should slip away.

2 Mukuti haiba mulaezo ubawambwa cha mañeloi uyelele, imi bubi bonse ni kusazumina zitambule inkoto,

For if the word which was spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and disobedience received just retribution,

3 linu aho mutubanduke bule haiba nitusatokomeli impuluso inkando? Iyi nji mpuluso ibawambwa kuntanzi nji Simwine yabezuzilikizi kwetu chabo babaizuwi.

how shall we escape if we have been negligent of so great salvation, which, having had its commencement in being spoken [of] by the Lord, has been confirmed to us by those who have heard;

4 Chenako iswana Ireeza nezuzilikiza chachisupo, imakazo, ni chenkezo zikolete, ni chakuabela impo zaLuhuho Lujolola chakuya chetato yakwe.

God bearing, besides, witness with [them] to [it], both by signs and wonders, and various acts of power, and distributions of [the] Holy Spirit, according to his will?

5 Mukuti kanaibali mañeloi kuti Ireeza aba biki mwikonde inkanda i keza, kuamana ni zitukwete kuwamba.

For he has not subjected to angels the habitable world which is to come, of which we speak;

6 Nihakwinabulyo, zumwi abapaki kumwi, nati, “Muntu chinzi, kuti mubilaezwe chakwe? Kapa mwana muntu, kuti mumutokomele?

but one has testified somewhere, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him, or son of man that thou visitest him?

7 Ubatendi muntu kuba mwikonde lyamañeloi; ubamuzwatiki inkuwani yekanya ni kukutekeha.

Thou hast made him some little inferior to the angels; thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, [and hast set him over the works of thy hands; ]

8 Ubabiki zintu zonse mwikonde lyamatende akwe.” Chokuti ibali chakwe Ireeza hababiki mwikonde lyakwe zintu zonse. Kanaabasiyi chimwi chintu nichisena mwikonde lyakwe. Kono hanu katwini kuboni zintu zonse kuba mwinkonde lyakwe.

thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things to him, he has left nothing unsubject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him,

9 Kono tubaboni umwina yababikwa mwikonde lyamañeloi chenakozana: Jesu, iye, chebaka lyamasukuluka akwe ni fu, abazwatikwa inkuwani yekanya ni kukutekwa. Chobulyo hanu chachisemo che Ireeza, abatamuni ifu chebaka lyamuntu ni muntu.

but we see Jesus, who [was] made some little inferior to angels on account of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; so that by the grace of God he should taste death for every thing.

10 Mukuti kubayelele kwe Ireeza, kakuli zintu zonse zina kwateni chebaka lyakwe ni chenzila yakwe, kuleta bana bangi kwikanya. Kubayelele kwali kutenda muyendisi wempuluso yabo chenzila yamanyando akwe.

For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make perfect the leader of their salvation through sufferings.

11 Mukuti bonse nozuna yojoloza nabana bajolozwa bena matangilo aswana. Chobulyo kena insoni ya kubasumpa bakwakwe.

For both he that sanctifies and those sanctified [are] all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

12 Uti, “Kanibabaze izina lyako kubakwabangu, Kanizimbe kuamana nawe kuzwilila mukati kenkopano.”

saying, I will declare thy name to my brethren; in [the] midst of [the] assembly will I sing thy praises.

13 Mi hape, “Kanibe nisepo kwali.” Mi hape, “Lole, Ime zunu ni bahwile abo babanihi Ireeza.”

And again, I will trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children which God has given me.

14 Hakwinabulyo, mukuti bana be Ireeza baliyabela mubili ni malaha, Jesu nayebulyo abaliyabeli zintu ziswana nabo, njokuti chenzila yefu kasiye wina maata heulu lyefu, uzo, nji diyabulusi.

Since therefore the children partake of blood and flesh, he also, in like manner, took part in the same, that through death he might annul him who has the might of death, that is, the devil;

15 Ichi chibabi bulyo kuti nalukulule abo bonse chakutiya ifu babali kuhala buhalobwabo bonse mubuhikana.

and might set free all those who through fear of death through the whole of their life were subject to bondage.

16 Mukuti cheniti kahena kuti ubilela chamañeloi; kono, ubilezwa chalutanga lwa Abrahama.

For he does not indeed take hold of angels [by the hand], but he takes hold of the seed of Abraham.

17 Chobulyo kubayelele kwali kuti a be sina banakwabo munzila zonse, kokuti nabe ni chisemo ni intumelo sina hali muprisita mukulwana kuyendelela ni zintu ze Ireeza, mi chobulyo mwalete chiamana ni inswalelo yazive zabantu.

Wherefore it behoved him in all things to be made like to [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people;

18 Kakuli Jesu iye mwine abasukuluki mi abalikwa, uwola kutusa abo bakwete kulikwa.

for, in that himself has suffered, being tempted, he is able to help those that are being tempted.
