Maheberu 8
1 Cwale nto yeama seni bulela kise: Nina ni muprisita yomuhulu yabekali kwiyanza lyachilyo lachihuna cha Simwine Yomaniniza mumawulu akwiwulu.
The pith of all that we have been saying is this; we do have such a High Priest; and he has taken his seat on the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens,
2 Muhikana muchibaka chijolola, itabernakele yeniti ibatomwa ni Simwine, isiñi muntu.
a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.
3 Mukuti zumwi ni zumwi muprisita mukulwana abahewa chitulo kuha impo ni zitabelo. Chobulyo kuyelele kuba ni chimwi chakuha.
For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; whence it follows that this High Priest also must have some offering to make.
4 Linu haiba Kresite abena muchisi, kanabali kuswanela kuba muprisita, mukuti kwina abo baha impo chakuya camulao.
Now were he on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there are here those who present the gifts according to the Law -
5 Basebeza muchibaka ni muzunde wazintu zakwiwulu. Kukola fela sina nji Mushe mwabakalimelwe kwe Ireeza munako yasake natange kuzaka itabernakele: “Ubone kuti,” Ireeza nati, “upanga zintu zonse chakuya chamazimo abatondezwa kwako helundu.”
those priests who serve a mere outline and shadow of the heavenly reality, just as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to build the Tabernacle. "See", he says, "that you make everything on the pattern showed you on the mountain."
6 Kono hanu Kresite abatambuli ikolo lina nenza ni kuhita. Liswanela sina hali hape yokaupa zetumelelano yina neza, izimene hesepiso yina nenza.
But Jesus has obtained a better ministry, by so much as he is also Mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted upon better promises.
7 Mukuti haiba yina itumelelano yetanzi kanaibena bubilala, kana kubali kuyelele kuti kube ni yimwi itumelelano yabubeli.
For if the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second.
8 Mukuti munako Ireeza hawana bubilala kubantu, abati, “Mutekeleze, mazuba akezite — kuwaba Simwinw — heti ninipange itumelelano inhya ni zubo ya Isilaele hamwina ni zubo ya Juda.
But finding fault with them, He says. "There are days coming," says the Lord, "When I will establish with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant;
9 Ketiniswane ni swane sina nji tumelelano inibapangi ni bazazi babo betazi mwizuba linibahinda chamayanza abo kubaetelela kubazwisa mukanda ya Egepita. Mukuti kanababazwili habusi ni tumelelano yangu, mi nibabasiyi — kuwamba Simwine.
Not according tot he covenant which I made with their forefathers, On the day when I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in my covenant, And therefore I disregarded them," says the Lord.
10 Mukuti iyi nji tumelelano yeti ninitende ni zubo ya Isilaele muasule aana mazuba — kuwamba Simwine. Kanibike milao yangu muboko bwabo, imi hape kaniziñole munkulo zabo. Kanibe Ireeza wabo, imi kababe bantu bangu.
"For this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel, After these days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their minds, And upon their hearts will I write them; And I will be their God, And they shall be my people;
11 Ketinibalute zumwi kuyabambene naye ni kumwi kumwina kwabo, nati, 'Izibe Simwine.' Mukuti bonse kabanizibe, kuzwa kuyofokola, kutwala kumukando hahulu mukati kabo.
And they shall not teach every man his fellow citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.
12 Mukuti kanifwile inse zitandantu zabo zisalukite, imi ketininihupule zive zabo ni kamuta.”
For I will have mercy upon their wrong-doings, And their sins I will remember no more."
13 Chakuwamba “chihya,” abachiti chilikani chentazi kuba cha kale, mi chisasina mussebezi ni kusupala chichina hafuhi niku mana.
By calling the covenant "new," He has made the first one obsolete; and whatever is becoming obsolete and aged, is near to vanishing.
