Maheberu 1
1 Kuntanzi Ireeza abawambi kubashemi betu chabapolofita, chenako ziingi ni munzila zishelene.
God, who at sundry times, and various ways, spake of old unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son,
2 Kono munzila zamazuba amanimani, abawambi kwetu cha Mwanakwe yabaketi, kuba swaana wazintu zonse. Ireeza hape ababumbi Inkanda chakwe. (aiōn g165)
whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds. (aiōn g165)
3 Nji yobenyisa ikanya ye Ireeza, muchibumbantu chena muchili. Mane uwondise zintu zonse hamwina chalinzwi lyaziho zakwe. Heti chamana kujoloza zive, nekala hansi kwiyanza lyabulyo lya Nfumwetu wakwiwulu.
Who being the refulgence of his glory and the imprest image of his person, and sustaining all things by his powerful word, having by Himself performed the purging away of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high.
4 Ababi sina mukando kumañeloi, sina izina lyabayoli halishiyeme kuzamba mazina abo.
Being as much superior to the angels, as He inheriteth a name more excellent than they.
5 Chakuti Ireeza kanabachiwambi kumañeloi, “U Mwanangu, sunu chinaba ni Iso”? “Kanibe ni mushemi kwali, imi iye mwabe mwanangu”?
For to which of the angels did He ever say, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?" and again, "I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to me a Son?"
6 Hape, Ireeza haleta bana bentanzi munkanda, nati, “Wonse mañelo a Ireeza atameha kumulapela.”
and when He again introduceth the First-born into the world, he saith, "And let all the angels of God worship Him."
7 Kuamana ni mañeloi nati, “iye yo litendela luhuho lwamañeloi akwe, ni malimi amulilo abahikana bakwe.”
And as to the angels He saith, "Who maketh his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire:"
8 Kono kuamana ni Mwanakwe abati, Chihuna chako, Ireeza, chakuya kusena mamanimani. Mubuso wako mubuso wakuluka. (aiōn g165)
but to the Son, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness: (aiōn g165)
9 Usaka kutenda zishiyeme, mi utoyete batenda zibilala. Hakwinabulyo Ireeza, Ireeza wako, yabakusiingi ioli yentabo kuhitiliza bamwenu.”
thou lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thine associates."
10 “Kuntanzi, Simwine, ubatendi matangilo enkanda. Iwulu, nje mitendo yamanza ako,
And in another place, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands:
11 Kazimane, kono iwe mozwile habusu. Bonse kabasukehe sina kabaali kejila.
they shall perish, but thou remainest; and they shall all grow old as a garment,
12 Kamuzibunge sina ngubo imi kazisanduke sina inkalulo yejila. Kono iwe uswana bulyo. imi zilimo zako kazimani.”
and as a mantle wilt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail."
13 Kono nji kwelihi kumañeloi Ireeza kwabawambi chenako ihi ne ihi, “Wikale kwi yanza lyangu lyabulyo kusikila inako yete nitende zila zako chihuna chamatende ako”?
But to which of the angels hath He ever said, "Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?"
14 Kahena luhuho lonse lwamañeloi lutusa, mi lutumwa kubabalela kwabo beti nibayole impuluso?
Are they not all ministring spirits, sent forth to attend on those who shall be heirs of salvation?
