Ba-Ebre 10
1 Mobeko ya Moyize ezali kaka elilingi ya biloko oyo ekoya, ezali penza bosolo na yango te; yango wana, ezali na makoki te ya kokomisa ya kokoka, bato oyo bapusanaka pene ya Nzambe na nzela ya bambeka ya ndenge moko kaka oyo bapesaka tango nyonso mpe mobu na mobu.
For the law having a shadow of the coming good things — not the very image of the matters, every year, by the same sacrifices that they offer continually, is never able to make perfect those coming near,
2 Soki ezalaki na makoki yango, mbele bato oyo bapesaka bambeka yango balingaki wuta kala kotika kopesa yango, pamba te balingaki kopetolama mbala moko mpo na libela, mpe balingaki lisusu komitungisa te mpo na masumu na bango.
since, would they not have ceased to be offered, because of those serving having no more conscience of sins, having once been purified?
3 Nzokande, mobu na mobu, bambeka wana ezalaki kozongisa masumu na makanisi na bango,
but in those [sacrifices] is a remembrance of sins every year,
4 pamba te makila ya bangombe ya mibali mpe ya bantaba ezali na makoki te ya kolongola masumu.
for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Yango wana, tango Klisto ayaki na mokili, alobaki: « Ozalaki na posa te ya bambeka to ya makabo, kasi osalaki ngai nzoto.
Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, 'Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not will, and a body Thou didst prepare for me,
6 Osepelaki te na bambeka ya kotumba mpe na bambeka mpo na masumu.
in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, Thou didst not delight,
7 Bongo nalobaki: ‹ Tala ngai oyo, nayei, nayei, oh Nzambe, mpo na kosala mokano na Yo, kolanda ndenge ekomami na tina na ngai kati na buku. › »
then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me, ) to do, O God, Thy will;'
8 Alobaki liboso: « Ozalaki na posa te mpe osepelaki te na bambeka, na makabo, na bambeka ya kotumba mpe na bambeka mpo na masumu. » Nzokande ezalaki kopesama kolanda Mibeko.
saying above — 'Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' — which according to the law are offered —
9 Alobaki lisusu: « Tala ngai oyo, nayei mpo na kosala mokano na Yo. » Boye, alongolaki losambo ya liboso mpo na kotia losambo ya mibale.
then he said, 'Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish;
10 Mpe ezali mpo na mokano yango ya Nzambe nde topetolamaka na masumu, na nzela ya mbeka ya nzoto na Ye moko Yesu-Klisto, oyo akabaki mbala moko mpo na libela.
in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,
11 Mpo na kosala mosala na ye ya bonganga, Nganga-Nzambe nyonso azalaki kokende na esika na ye ya mosala mokolo na mokolo, mpe azalaki kopesa mbala na mbala bambeka ya ndenge moko oyo ezalaki kutu na makoki te ya kolongola masumu ya bato.
and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins.
12 Kasi sima na Klisto kobonza mbeka moko kaka mpo na masumu, avandi mpo na libela na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Nzambe.
And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered — to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, —
13 Wuta tango wana, azali kozela ete Nzambe akomisa banguna na Ye enyatelo makolo na Ye.
as to the rest, expecting till He may place his enemies [as] his footstool,
14 Pamba te, na nzela ya likabo moko kaka, akomisaki bato ya kokoka mpo na libela, ba-oyo apetolaki na masumu.
for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified;
15 Molimo Mosantu mpe azali kotatola epai na biso na tina na Ye, pamba te alobaki liboso:
and testify to us also doth the Holy Spirit, for after that He hath said before,
16 « Tala boyokani oyo nakosala elongo na bango sima na mikolo wana, elobi Nkolo: Nakotia mibeko na Ngai kati na makanisi na bango, mpe nakokoma yango kati na mitema na bango. »
'This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,'
17 Bongo na sima, abakisaki: « Nakokanisa lisusu te, ezala masumu na bango to mabe na bango. »
and 'their sins and their lawlessness I will remember no more;'
18 Nzokande, soki Nzambe alimbisi moto masumu, ezalaka lisusu te na likabo ya kopesa mpo na masumu.
and where forgiveness of these [is], there is no more offering for sin.
19 Yango wana, bandeko na ngai, tozali solo na elikya ete tokokota na Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule mpo ete Yesu asopaki makila na Ye.
Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus,
20 Afungolelaki biso nzela ya sika mpe ya bomoi na nzela ya rido ya Tempelo, oyo ezali nzoto na Ye moko.
which way he did initiate for us — new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh —
21 Boye, tozali na Mokonzi Monene ya Banganga-Nzambe, oyo azali Mokonzi ya Ndako ya Nzambe.
and a high priest over the house of God,
22 Na bongo, topusana pene ya Nzambe na motema mobimba, na kondima nyonso, na motema oyo epetolami na makanisi nyonso ya mabe, mpe na nzoto oyo esukolami na mayi ya peto.
may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;
23 Tobatela makasi elikya oyo tozali kondima ete ezali ya solo, pamba te Ye oyo apesaki biso bilaka akosaka te.
may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful [is] He who did promise),
24 Tosenzelana biso na biso mpo na kotindikana na bolingo mpe na misala ya malamu.
and may we consider one another to provoke to love and to good works,
25 Tokima Bandako ya Nzambe na biso te, ndenge bato mosusu bamesana kosala; kasi tolendisana biso na biso, wana bozali komona ete mokolo ya Nkolo ekomi pene.
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as a custom of certain [is], but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day coming nigh.
26 Pamba te, soki tokobi kosala masumu na nko sima na koyeba bosolo, mbeka mosusu mpo na bolimbisi ya masumu ekozala lisusu te;
For we — wilfully sinning after the receiving the full knowledge of the truth — no more for sins doth there remain a sacrifice,
27 ekotikala kaka kozela na somo penza kosambisama mpe moto makasi oyo ekozikisa banguna ya Nzambe.
but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers;
28 Soki babomaka na mawa te moto oyo abuki Mobeko ya Moyize, na litatoli ya bato mibale to misato,
any one who did set at nought a law of Moses, apart from mercies, by two or three witnesses, doth die,
29 ekozala boni mpo na moto oyo atioli Mwana na Nzambe, amoni pamba makila ya boyokani, oyo epetolaki ye, mpe afingi Molimo ya ngolu?
of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?
30 Toyebi malamu Ye oyo alobaki: « Ngai nde nazongisaka mabe na mabe, Ngai nde nakofuta moto na moto; » mpe: « Nkolo akosambisa bato na Ye. »
for we have known Him who is saying, 'Vengeance [is] Mine, I will recompense, saith the Lord;' and again, 'The Lord shall judge His people;' —
31 Ezali somo makasi kokweya na maboko ya Nzambe na bomoi!
fearful [is] the falling into the hands of a living God.
32 Bokanisa lisusu mikolo ya liboso, na tango Nzambe afungolaki bino miso mpo ete bokoma komona pole, boyikaki mpiko kati na bapasi ya makasi.
And call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, ye did endure much conflict of sufferings,
33 Ezalaki na batango oyo bazalaki kofinga bino, konyokola bino na miso ya bato; ezalaki mpe na batango oyo bozalaki kokabola pasi elongo na bato oyo bazalaki konyokwama.
partly both with reproaches and tribulations being made spectacles, and partly having become partners of those so living,
34 Bokabolaki pasi elongo na bakangami ya boloko, mpe bondimaki na esengo nyonso ete babotola ata biloko na bino, pamba te boyebaki ete bozali na bomengo ya kitoko koleka, bomengo oyo ekowumela libela na libela.
for also with my bonds ye sympathised, and the robbery of your goods with joy ye did receive, knowing that ye have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one.
35 Boye, bobungisa elikya na bino te, pamba te lifuti monene ekangani na yango.
Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward,
36 Na bongo, boyika mpiko mpo ete, sima na bino kokokisa mokano ya Nzambe, bozwa biloko oyo alakaki.
for of patience ye have need, that the will of God having done, ye may receive the promise,
37 Etikali moke, moke penza, ete Ye oyo asengeli koya aya, mpe akoya kala te.
for yet a very very little, He who is coming will come, and will not tarry;
38 Moto na ngai ya sembo akobika na nzela ya kondima; kasi soki azongi sima, nakosepela na ye te.
and 'the righteous by faith shall live,' and 'if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'
39 Biso tozali te na molongo ya bato oyo bazongaka sima mpo na kobungisa bomoi na bango, kasi tozali na molongo ya bato oyo bazali na kondima mpo ete tobikisama.
and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.
