Maheberu 6
1 Linuhaho, tuhale ka matangilo amulaezo wa Kereste niku yenda habusu bwakuluka. Kanji kuzali hape matangilo akubaka kuzwa kumisebezi ifwile niye tumelo yina kwa Ireeza,
Therefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Meshikha, let us press on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,
2 kamba matangilo abuluti bwe kolobezo, kukambika mayaza, kubuka kwabantu bafwile, ni katulo iyakusamani. (aiōnios g166)
of the teaching of washings, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of everlasting judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Mutupange bulyo izi haiba Ireeza utuzuminina.
And this we will do if God permits.
4 Mukuti kese nikuyoleke kwabo baba boniswa, baba sozwa impo zewulu babayabelwe Luhuho Luchenete,
For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Rukha d'Qudsha,
and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, (aiōn g165)
6 kono abo chibawa mukube kukutu kubozekezwa hape kuti bakabake. Ili njibaka kakuli ba kokotela Mwana wa Ireeza abo bene, imi chiba muswabisisa ipatalaza.
and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.
7 Mukuti ikanda inywa kuvula iza chenanako kuyili, imi iha kuzala kwezi byalatu zinaituso kwabo baba sevezi-iyi nji ikanda itambula imbuyoti zizwa kwe Ireeza.
For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it, and brings forth a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing from God;
8 Kono haiba niyibika miya ni lubangu, kayina intuso imi yina hafuhi ni chikuto. Mamaninizo yina mukujincwa.
but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
9 Kono tuhindwa nizitu zishiyeme kuamana nanwe, ba sakakahala, zintu ziamana ni puluso, nihakuba kuti tuwamba buti.
But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.
10 Mukuti Ireeza kahena kuti kashiyeme kuti azibale irato lya misevezi yenu imu ba bonisi mwizina lyakwe, kakuli muba tusi bazumine imi musikwete kubatusa.
For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.
11 Hape kunungwa ku kando zumwi nizumwi kwenu atondeze ichiseho kukasika kuma maninizo kuamana nikwizula kwesepo ikolete.
We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,
12 Linukuti kanji mubi mubakata, kono mulikanyise abo chetumelo ni inkulo inde baba yoli insepiso.
that you won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherited the promises.
13 Mukuti Ireeza hapanga isepiso kwa Abrahama, aba nkoki chakwe mwine, mukuchokuti kana abali kuola kunkoka chazumwi yomuhita.
For when God made a promise to Avraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself,
14 Chati, “Muniwole kukufuyola, imi muni kwinjise chabungi.”
saying, "I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you."
15 Cheyinzila, Abrahama abawani chabasepiswe kumasule akulindila ninkulo inde.
Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 Mukuti bantu bankoka chozumwi mukulwana kubahita. Kuma manimani azumwi ni zumwi kwiza kukawuhana, kuli sumina kutenda kaku bonisana.
For people swear oaths by something greater, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
17 Linu Ireeza haliketela kubonisa kabungi kubayola insepiso inamazimo amutendo usenazintu zisa chichululwa, aba zuzilizi chakukonkeleza.
In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;
18 Abapangi bulyo kuti zintu zobele zisa chichululwa-kakuyoleki kuti Ireeza achenge -Iswe, abo tubatilili kumatililo, twina ku inguzu zakukozana chakuondisa chesepo ibabikwa habusu bwetu.
that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
19 Twina iyi insepo itokomelwe imi isepahala ikwete ihuho zetu, insepo injila mukati kachibaka china kumasule yesila.
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the curtain;
