Maheberu 4
1 Chobulyo, tutokomele kuti kanji kuwaniki niyobonahala kukangwa kukasika hesepiso ibashali kumasulenu enu kuti mukenjile mupumulo ya Ireeza.
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left [us] of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 Mukuti tubawambilwa makande malotu sina njabo. Kono uwo mulaezo kanaubawoli kutusa abo basenababena hamwina mwitumelo nabo babakuteki.
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard [it].
3 Mukuti iswe tubazumini katwinjile mweyo ipumulo, sina mwabawambili, “Sina hanibakoki chabukali, Kufwa bulyo kwinjila mupumulo yangu.” Nihakwinabulyo, mitendo yakubumba ibamani kumatangilo ekanda.
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 Mukuti abawambi kumwi kwamana nizuba Lesabata, “Ireeza abapumuli izuba Lesabata kumisebezi yakwe yonse,”
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 Hape abawambi, “Mubakafwe benjile ipumulo yangu.”
And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Chobulyo, lisibikilwe kuti bamwi kuti benjile mupumulo, imi sina habali bangi Maisilaele babazuwi makande malotu basanababenjili chebaka lyakusakuteka,
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Ireeza hape abacho kubikwe limwi izuba lisupwa, “Sunu.” Kuzwa kumasule amazuba amwi, Abawambi chakusebelisa Davida, Sina habawambi kutanzi nati, “Sunu haiba muzuwa inzwi lyakwe kanjimukukutuhalisi inkulo zenu,”
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 Mukuti haiba Joshua ababahele ipumulo, Ireeza nasana abawambi kuamana ni limwi izuba.
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 Linuhaho kusina yimwi Isabata yepumulo ibikilwe bantu ba Ireeza.
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 Mukuti yese winjili mupumulo ya Ireeza iye mwine chenjila mupumulo yamitendo yakwe, Sina Ireeza mwabatendeli kuyakwe.
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God [did] from his.
11 Chobulyo, tube nichiseho kwinjila mweyo ipumulo, kokuti kanji nikuwaniki yetenawile mumukwa wakusakuteka ubabatendi.
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
12 Mukuti izwi lye Ireeza lihala imi lihwela imi lishengete kuhita mukwale ucheka mambali wonse. Lihweza bulyo ni kulukulula mozo ni luhuho, ni kukopanya kuzwila kumuhomo. Liwola kwiziba minahano ni milelo izwililila kunkulo.
For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Kakwina chibabumbwa chilipatite habusu bwa Ireeza. Kunzeyobulyo, zintu zonse ziza hanze ni kwiyaluka habusu bwakwe iye utulitabilila kwali.
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Chobulyo, kubona twina mupurista mukulwana iye yabahiti kumawulu akwiwulu, Jesu mwana wa Ireeza, tukwatilile kakukola kuchitubazumini.
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.
15 Mukuti katwina muprista mukulwana yasawoli kutufwila inse kabufokoli bwetu. Nihakubabulyo, twina umwi iye yabalikwa munzila zonse sina mutulikilwa, nihakwinabulyo iye kena chive.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin.
16 Linuhaho tuyende kakukola hachihuna chachisemo, mukuti tuwane kutambula inse ni kuwana chisemo chitusa mwinako ichisakahala.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
