Ba-Ebre 2
1 Yango wana, tosengeli kozwa lisusu na motuya makasi mateya oyo toyokaki mpo ete tobunga te.
Because of this it behoveth [us] more abundantly to take heed to the things heard, lest we may glide aside,
2 Pamba te soki sango oyo epesamaki, na tango ya kala, na nzela ya ba-anjelu, ezalaki na motuya makasi na ndenge ete bato oyo batiolaki yango mpe batosaki yango te bazwaki etumbu oyo ekokaki mpo na bango,
for if the word being spoken through messengers did become stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience did receive a just recompense,
3 ndenge nini biso tozanga kozwa etumbu soki tozwi na pamba lobiko ya boye? Solo, Ye moko Nkolo nde asakolaki liboso na tina na lobiko yango; bongo na sima, bato oyo bayokaki sango yango batalisaki biso bosolo na yango.
how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation? which a beginning receiving — to be spoken through the Lord — by those having heard was confirmed to us,
4 Nzambe mpe azalaki kokokisa bosolo ya litatoli na bango na nzela ya bilembo ya kokamwa, na nzela ya misala minene, ya bikamwa ya ndenge na ndenge mpe ya makabo ya Molimo Mosantu, oyo azalaki kopesa bango kolanda mokano na Ye.
God also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders, and manifold powers, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.
5 Nzambe atiaki te mokili oyo ezali koya, mokili oyo tozali kolobela, na se ya bokonzi ya ba-anjelu.
For not to messengers did He subject the coming world, concerning which we speak,
6 Nzokande, ezali na moko oyo atatolaki boye kati na Makomi: « Moto azali nini mpo ete okanisa ye? Mwana na moto azali nani mpo ete obatela ye?
and one in a certain place did testify fully, saying, 'What is man, that Thou art mindful of him, or a son of man, that Thou dost look after him?
7 Okitisaki ye na se ya ba-anjelu mpo na mwa tango moke, kasi olatisaki ye motole ya nkembo mpe ya lokumu,
Thou didst make him some little less than messengers, with glory and honour Thou didst crown him, and didst set him over the works of Thy hands,
8 mpe otiaki biloko nyonso na se ya matambe na ye. » Awa Nzambe atiaki nyonso na se ya bokonzi na ye, atikaki ata eloko moko te oyo ezangaki kozala na se ya bokonzi na ye. Nzokande, ezali solo ete, kino sik’oyo, tomoni nanu te ete nyonso ezali na se ya bokonzi na ye.
all things Thou didst put in subjection under his feet,' for in the subjecting to him the all things, nothing did He leave to him unsubjected, and now not yet do we see the all things subjected to him,
9 Kasi tala makambo oyo tozali komona: Yesu oyo akitisamaki na se ya ba-anjelu mpo na mwa tango moke, alati sik’oyo motole ya nkembo mpe ya lokumu mpo ete andimaki pasi oyo ememaki Ye kino na kufa. Na bongo, na ngolu ya Nzambe, Yesu akufaki nde mpo na bato nyonso.
and him who was made some little less than messengers we see — Jesus — because of the suffering of the death, with glory and honour having been crowned, that by the grace of God for every one he might taste of death.
10 Emonanaki malamu ete, mpo na komema bana ebele na nkembo, Nzambe oyo akela biloko nyonso mpe azali Nkolo na yango akomisa ya kokoka na nzela ya pasi, mokonzi oyo asengelaki komema bango na lobiko.
For it was becoming to Him, because of whom [are] the all things, and through whom [are] the all things, many sons to glory bringing, the author of their salvation through sufferings to make perfect,
11 Pamba te Mobulisi ya basumuki mpe bato oyo babulisami bazali kaka na Tata moko. Yango wana Yesu azalaki na soni te ya kobenga bango bandeko na Ye,
for both he who is sanctifying and those sanctified [are] all of one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 tango alobaki: « Nakotatola Kombo na Yo epai ya bandeko na Ngai, nakokumisa Yo na banzembo kati na mayangani. »
saying, 'I will declare Thy name to my brethren, in the midst of an assembly I will sing praise to Thee;' and again, 'I will be trusting on Him;'
13 Yesu alobaki lisusu: « Nakotia elikya na Ngai kati na Ye; » Mpe lisusu: « Ngai oyo, Ngai elongo na bana oyo Nzambe apesa Ngai. »
and again, 'Behold I and the children that God did give to me.'
14 Boye, lokola bana yango bazali na nzoto mpe makila, Ye mpe asanganaki elongo na bomoto na bango mpo ete, na nzela ya kufa na Ye, asilisa nguya ya Satana oyo azalaki kosimba nguya ya kufa,
Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death — that is, the devil —
15 mpe akangola bato nyonso oyo, bomoi na bango mobimba, bakomaki bawumbu likolo na kobanga kufa.
and might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death, throughout all their life, were subjects of bondage,
16 Pamba te ezali penza ya solo ete Yesu ayaki te mpo na kosunga ba-anjelu, kasi mpo na kosunga nde bakitani ya Abrayami.
for, doubtless, of messengers it doth not lay hold, but of seed of Abraham it layeth hold,
17 Yango wana asengelaki kozala ndenge moko na bandeko na Ye na makambo nyonso mpo ete akoma Mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, oyo atonda na boboto, mpe oyo bakoki kotiela motema na makambo oyo etali boyokani ya moto elongo na Nzambe, mpe mpo ete akoka kosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu ya bato.
wherefore it did behove him in all things to be made like to the brethren, that he might become a kind and stedfast chief-priest in the things with God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people,
18 Pamba te, lokola Ye moko amonaki pasi tango amekamaki, akoki mpe kosunga bato oyo bazali komekama.
for in that he suffered, himself being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
