Abaebbulaniya 10
1 Amateeka kisiikirize busiikirize eky’ebirungi ebigenda okujja, go ku bwagwo tegamala, kubanga ssaddaaka ezo ze zimu eza buli mwaka ze bawaayo obutayosa ezitayinza kutukuza abo abaziwaayo.
For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the real forms of those things themselves. Those who approach God can never be made perfect by the same sacrifices that the priests continually bring year after year.
2 Ssaddaaka ezo zandibadde tezikyaweebwayo, kubanga abaaziwaayo, omulundi ogumu gwandibamaze okubatukuza, ne bataddayo kweraliikirira olw’ebibi byabwe.
Otherwise, would the sacrifices not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed one time and would no longer have any consciousness of sin.
3 Naye ssaddaaka eza buli mwaka zaabajjukizanga ebibi byabwe.
But with those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year.
4 Kubanga omusaayi gw’ente ennume n’embuzi tegusobola kuggyawo bibi.
For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Noolwekyo Kristo bwe yali ng’ajja mu nsi kyeyava agamba nti, “Ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo tewabyagala. Naye wanteekerateekera omubiri.
When Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you did not desire, but a body you have prepared for me;
6 Ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi, tewabisiima.
with burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not take pleasure.
7 Kyennava njogera nti, ‘Nzuno, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu mizingo gy’ebyawandiikibwa: Nzize okukola by’oyagala, ng’Ebyawandiikibwa bwe binjogerako.’”
Then I said, 'See, here I am— as it is written about me in the scroll— to do your will.'”
8 Nga bwe kyogera waggulu nti, Ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo, n’ebiweebwayo ebiramba ebyokebwa, n’ebiweebwayo olw’ebibi tewabyagala so tewabisiima, so nga biweebwayo ng’amateeka bwe galagira,
First he said, “It was neither sacrifices, nor offerings, nor whole burnt offerings, nor sacrifices for sin that you desired. Nor did you take pleasure in them.” These are sacrifices that are offered according to the law.
9 n’alyoka agamba nti, “Nzuuno nzize okukola by’oyagala.” Noolwekyo aggyawo enkola esooka alyoke anyweze enkola eyookubiri.
Then he said, “See, here I am to do your will.” He takes away the first practice in order to establish the second practice.
10 Twatukuzibwa olw’okwagala kwe, omubiri gwa Yesu Kristo bwe gwaweebwayo omulundi ogumu ku lwaffe ffenna.
By that will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 Buli kabona ayimirira buli lunaku ng’aweereza, n’awaayo ssaddaaka mu ngeri y’emu, ezitayinza kuggyawo bibi,
Day after day every priest stands and performs his service to God. He offers the same sacrifices again and again—sacrifices that can never take away sins.
12 naye Kristo bwe yamala okuwaayo ssaddaaka ey’emirembe gyonna, olw’ebibi, n’alyoka atuula ku mukono ogwa ddyo ogwa Katonda.
But when Christ offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God.
13 Okuva mu kiseera kino alindirira abalabe be bafuulibwe entebe y’ebigere bye.
He is waiting until his enemies are made a stool for his feet.
14 Kubanga olw’ekiweebwayo ekyo ekimu, abaatukuzibwa yabawa obutuukirivu obw’emirembe gyonna.
For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
15 Mwoyo Mutukuvu naye akikakasa bw’ayogera nti,
The Holy Spirit also testifies to us. First he said,
16 “Eno y’endagaano gye ndikola nabo, oluvannyuma lw’ennaku ezo, bw’ayogera Mukama. Nditeeka amateeka gange ku mitima gyabwe, era ndiwandiika amateeka gange mu myoyo gyabwe.”
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.
17 Ayongerako kino nti, “Sirijjukira nate bibi byabwe newaakubadde obujeemu bwabwe.”
Their sins and lawless deeds I will remember no longer.”
18 Naye kaakano awali okusonyiyibwa ebintu ebyo, waba tewakyali kyetaagisa kuwaayo kiweebwayo olw’ebibi.
Now where there is forgiveness for these, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin.
19 Kale abooluganda nga bwe tulina obuvumu okuyingira mu Watukuvu w’Awatukuvu olw’omusaayi gwa Yesu,
Therefore, brothers, we have confidence to enter into the most holy place by the blood of Jesus.
20 eyatuggulirawo ekkubo eriggya era eddamu eriyita mu lutimbe, gwe mubiri gwe,
That is the new and living way that he has opened for us through the curtain, that is, by means of his flesh.
21 kale nga bwe tulina Kabona Asinga Obukulu nga y’afuga ennyumba ya Katonda,
Because we have a great priest over the house of God,
22 tusembere awali Katonda n’omwoyo ogw’amazima ogujjudde okukkiriza nga tulina emitima egitukuzibbwa okuva mu ndowooza embi, era nga n’emibiri gyaffe ginaazibbwa n’amazzi amatukuvu.
let us approach with true hearts in the full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Kale tunyweze essuubi lye twatula nga tetusagaasagana, kubanga eyasuubiza mwesigwa,
Let us also hold tightly to the confession of our hope without wavering, because God, who has promised, is faithful.
24 era tussengayo omwoyo buli muntu eri munne, nga twekubiriza mu kwagala ne mu kukola ebikolwa ebirungi.
Let us consider how to motivate one another to love and good deeds.
25 Tuleme kulekayo kukuŋŋaana, ng’abamu bwe bakola, naye buli muntu agumye munne, na ddala nga bwe mulaba nti, Olunaku lw’okudda kwa Mukama waffe lusembedde.
Let us not stop meeting together, as some have done. Instead, encourage one another more and more, and all the more as you see the day coming closer.
26 Singa tukola ebibi mu bugenderevu, nga tumaze okumanya amazima, waba tewakyaliwo ssaddaaka eweebwayo olw’ekibi.
For if we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, a sacrifice for sins no longer exists.
27 Wabula ekiba kisigadde kwe kulindirira okusalirwa omusango ogw’ekibonerezo eky’omuliro ogw’amaanyi ogugenda okumalawo abalabe ba Katonda.
Instead, there is only a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume God's enemies.
28 Omuntu yenna eyajeemeranga amateeka ga Musa yattibwanga awatali kusaasirwa, bwe waabangawo abajulirwa babiri oba basatu abamulumiriza.
Anyone who has rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy at the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29 Noolwekyo omuntu alinnyirira Omwana wa Katonda, era n’omusaayi gw’endagaano ogunaazaako ebibi n’aguyisa ng’ogwa bulijjo, era n’anyoomoola Omwoyo ow’ekisa, talibonerezebwa n’obukambwe obusingawo?
How much worse punishment do you think one deserves who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, who treated the blood of the covenant as unholy—the blood by which he was sanctified—and insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 Kubanga tumumanyi oyo eyagamba nti, “Okuwoolera eggwanga kwange. Nze ndisasula.” Era nti, “Mukama y’aliramula abantu be.”
For we know the one who said, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will pay back.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
31 Kintu kya ntiisa okugwa mu mikono gya Katonda omulamu!
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!
32 Mujjukire ennaku ez’edda bwe mwategeera Kristo, ne mugumiikiriza okubonyaabonyezebwa okw’amaanyi.
But remember the former days, after you were enlightened, how you endured a great struggle in suffering.
33 Oluusi mwavumibwanga era ne muyigganyizibwa mu lwatu, ate olulala ne mussa kimu n’abo abaabonaabona nga mmwe.
You were exposed to public ridicule by insults and persecution, and you were sharing with those who went through such suffering.
34 Mwalumirwa wamu n’abasibe, era mwagumiikiriza n’essanyu bwe mwanyagibwako ebyammwe kubanga mwamanya nti mulina ebisinga obulungi era eby’olubeerera ebibalindiridde.
For you had compassion on those who were prisoners, and you accepted with joy the seizure of your possessions. You knew that you yourselves had a better and everlasting possession.
35 Kale munywererenga ku buvumu bwammwe bwe mulina, obuliko empeera ennene.
So do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
36 Kubanga kibasaanira okugumiikiriza nga mukola Katonda by’ayagala mulyoke mufune ebyo bye yasuubiza.
For you need patience, so that you may receive what God has promised, after you have done his will.
37 Wasigadde akaseera katono nnyo, oyo ow’okujja ajje era talirwa.
“For in a very little while, the one who is coming will indeed come and not delay.
38 Omutuukirivu wange, anaabanga mulamu lwa kukkiriza, kyokka bw’adda emabega simusanyukira.
My righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.”
39 Naye ffe tetuli ba kudda mabega mu kuzikirira, wabula tulina okukkiriza okunywevu okutuleetera okulokoka.
But we are not any of those who turn back to destruction. Instead, we are some of those who have faith for keeping our soul.
