Abaebbulaniya 1
1 Edda, Katonda yayogeranga ne bajjajjaffe mu ngeri nnyingi ez’enjawulo ng’ayita mu bannabbi;
In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,
2 naye mu nnaku zino ez’oluvannyuma yayogera naffe ng’ayita mu Mwana, gwe yalonda okuba omusika wa byonna, era mu oyo mwe yatondera ensi n’ebintu byonna ebirimu. (aiōn g165)
in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages; (aiōn g165)
3 Amasamasa n’ekitiibwa kya Katonda, era ky’ekifaananyi kye ddala bw’ali, era abeezaawo buli kintu olw’ekigambo kye eky’amaanyi. Bwe yamala okukola ekikolwa eky’okututukuza okuva mu bibi, n’atuula ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda mu Bwakabaka obw’omu ggulu.
who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might — through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,
4 Bw’atyo n’asinga bamalayika, nga kyeragira ku linnya lye okuba ery’ekitiibwa okusinga amannya gaabwe.
having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they.
5 Kubanga ani ku bamalayika gwe yali ayogeddeko nti, “Ggwe oli Mwana wange, Leero nkuzadde?” Era nate nti, “Nze nnaabeeranga Kitaawe gy’ali naye anaabeeranga Mwana wange gye ndi?”
For to which of the messengers said He ever, 'My Son thou art — I to-day have begotten thee?' and again, 'I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?'
6 Era nate bw’aleeta Omwana we omubereberye mu nsi, agamba nti, “Bamalayika ba Katonda bonna bamusinzenga.”
and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, 'And let them bow before him — all messengers of God;'
7 Era ayogera ku bamalayika nti, “Afuula bamalayika be ng’empewo, n’afuula n’abaweereza be ng’ennimi z’omuliro.”
and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, 'Who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire;'
8 Naye ku Mwana ayogera nti, “Entebe yo ey’Obwakabaka, Ayi Katonda, ya lubeerera emirembe n’emirembe; obutuukirivu, gwe muggo ogw’obwakabaka bwo. (aiōn g165)
and unto the Son: 'Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age; a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy reign; (aiōn g165)
9 Wayagala obutuukirivu n’okyawa obujeemu. Katonda, era Katonda wo kyeyava akufukako amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni agaleeta essanyu okusinga banno.”
thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee — God, thy God — with oil of gladness above thy partners;'
10 Ayongera n’agamba nti, “Mukama ku lubereberye wassaawo omusingi gw’ensi, era n’eggulu mirimu gwa mukono gwo.
and, 'Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;
11 Ebyo biriggwaawo, naye ggwe olibeerera emirembe gyonna, era byonna birikaddiwa ng’ekyambalo bwe kikaddiwa.
these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old,
12 Era olibizingako ng’ekooti bwe zingibwako, era birikyusibwa ng’ekyambalo bwe kikyusibwa. Naye ggwe oba bumu, so n’emyaka gyo tegirikoma.”
and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.'
13 Ani ku bamalayika gwe yali agambye nti, “Tuula wano ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo, okutuusa lwe ndifufuggaza abalabe bo, ne bafuuka entebe y’ebigere byo”?
And unto which of the messengers said He ever, 'Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?'
14 Bamalayika bonna, myoyo egitumibwa okuweereza abo abagenda okusikira obulokozi.
are they not all spirits of service — for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation?
