Maheberu 9
1 Linu ni haiba chilikani chamatangilo chiba kwina milao ya kulapela mane nichibaka chijolola chefasi.
Now indeed even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and an earthly sanctuary.
2 Aho i tabenakele iba lukiswe. Chibaka camatangilo, mwi tabenakele, mubakwina matomeno e lambi, i ntafule, chinkwa cha kuba, chibali kusumpwa chibaka chijolola.
For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part were the lamp stand, the table, and the show bread, which is called the Holy Place.
3 Kwishilya lya majila abubeli akuhanzika kubena chimwi chibaka, chisumpwa chibaka chijolola ahulu.
After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,
4 Chibakwina katala ke gauda ka insense. Hape mubakwina i aleka ya chilikani, chibaku lamitwe chokuizula ni gauda. Mukati kayo kubena kapali mubena maana, inkoli ya Aroni iba tumpite, ni matapa a mabwe a chilikani.
having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;
5 He uulu lye aleka ya chilikani, mashurubime ekanya a bwikilize chifupi cha kubolinsana hamwina, chitusawoli kuwamba hanu chakwizula.
and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can’t speak now in detail.
6 Hakumana ku bakanywa izizintu, ba purisita inako yonse babali kwinjila muchibaka chakunze che tabenakele kutenda mitendo yabo.
Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,
7 Kono kwanda a mupurisita yohanzi njabali kuwola kwinjila kuchibaka cha bubeli kamwina muchilimo, mi isiñi nikusena malaha aba lichitili chitabelo iye mwine mane nibantu baba tendi zibe isi chakulikeza.
but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people.
8 Luhuho lujolola luba bonisi kuti inzila iya muchibaka chijolola ahulu kena ibeni ku patululwa kubona fela itabanakele ya tanzi ibakusi zimene.
The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn’t yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing.
9 Ichi chibali chisupo che inu inako. zonse impo ni zitabelo zikwete kuhewa lyahanu kaziwoli ku shiyamisa sinte minahano ya balapeli.
This is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshipper perfect,
10 Batwalize bulyo muhupulo kuzilyo ni kunywa mane nizimwi zintu zishelana shelana za mikiti ya kushanza. Iyi yonse ibali milao chenyama iba helwe kusikila intaelo inhya hete ni babumbwa.
being only (with foods and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.
11 Krisite abezi nali muprisita mukulwana wazintu zi lotu zibezi. Abenjili che tabenakele i nkando ni kushiyama ahulu isena iba tendwa chamayanza abantu, iyo isali ye fasi libabumbwa.
But Messiah having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
12 Kahena ibali cha malaha empene ni a manamani, kono chamalaha akwe mwine abe njili limwina muchibaka chijolola ahulu ni kubukeleza ku uliwa kwetu kwa kuyakwile. (aiōnios g166)
nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)
13 Kono haiba malaha empene ni ba mpho mi ni kusansela kwe twe lye nkomwana ya citole habo bababi nikwe awola kuba kungwila kwa Ireeza chakuba joloza mwi nyama,
For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh,
14 mukusike hi chamalaha aKrisite, iye chaluuho lwakuya kusamani aba liihi mwine nikusena chinyansahala kwa Ireeza, kushanza maano etu kumitendo ifwile kutendela Ireeza yo hala? (aiōnios g166)
how much more will the blood of Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios g166)
15 Ka cheli ibaka, muzimanini wachilkani chihya. kwina bulyo nji kuti, kuzwa ifu haliba hindi chibaka chaku sumununa abo babena muchilikani chamatangilo kuzwa muzibe zabo, bana ba sumpitwe muba tambule insepiso yakuyola kwa kuya kusamani. (aiōnios g166)
For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)
16 Aho hena iñolo lye nkabelo, ifu lya muntu yaba itendi liswanela ku bonekiswa.
For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.
17 Mukuti iñolo lyenkabelo li boniswa bulyo haiba chikwaba nifu, kakuti kalina maata haiba walitenda nasihala.
For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.
18 Mane nihaiba cilikani ca matangilo kena ciba bumbwa ni kusena malaha.
Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.
19 Mi mukuti Mushe haha intaelo ya mulao kubantu bonse, abahindi malaha amanamani ni impene, ni menzi, bwanda busubila, ni haisopa ni kusansela iñolo lye pampili ilee mane ni bantu bonse.
For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Torah, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
20 Kuzwaho nati, “Aa malaha acilikani awo Ireeza aba laeli kwenu.”
saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.”
21 Mwinzila iswana, aba sanseli malaha he tabenakele mane ni ha zi belekiso zonse zibali kutendiswa mwi nsebelezo.
He sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in the same way with the blood.
22 Chakuya chamulawo, mukuti bungi bwa zintu zi ba kujolozwa cha malaha. Chikusena kwitila kwamalaha kakwina inswalelo.
According to the Torah, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.
23 Kuzwaaho kuba kuswanela kuti zintu zikola ubu zamwi wulu zi jolozwe hamwina ni zitabelo za zinyolozi. Nihakuba bulyo, zintu zamwi wulu zine zi swanela kujolozwa nenza ahulu kazitabelo sakata.
It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 Mukuti Kresite kana abenjili muchibaka chijolola ahulu chiba tendwa ni mayanza, icho chiswaniswo bulyo chache initi. Kusibulyo abenjili mwi wulu line, kuti hanu ali bonekise mwa Ireeza kwetu.
For Messiah hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;
25 Kena abayi kwateni kuti akalinele tungi tungi, ubu mwabakutendela muprisita mukulwana, ya ba kwinjila muchibaka chijolola ahulu chilimo ni chilimo ni malaha achimwi.
nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,
26 Kambe mu kubekalile bulyo, linu ni kubaswaneli kuti anyande tungi tungi kuzwa kuma tangilo a mutomo we nkanda. Kono hanu inako imwina bulyo ku ma manimani azilimo zaba sinulwilwa kuti azwise chibe cha chitabelo chakwe mwine. (aiōn g165)
or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)
27 Zumwi ni zumwi ubikilwe kufwa limwina, mikuzwa aho kwiza i nkatulo.
Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgement,
28 Mwinzila iswana, Kresite naye, yaba neelwa limwina ku zwisa zibe za bangi, mwaboneke lwa bubeli, isi chakubonana nichibi, kono chempuluso yabana baba mulindili chenkulo inde.
so Messiah also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
