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 having but a faint shadow of good things to come, and not the full image of the things, can never, even by the great annual sacrifices which they offer statedly, make the comers thereunto perfect.

2 Ssaddaaka ezo zandibadde tezikyaweebwayo, kubanga abaaziwaayo, omulundi ogumu gwandibamaze okubatukuza, ne bataddayo kweraliikirira olw’ebibi byabwe.

For then they would have ceased to be offered, because the sacrificers, being once purified, would no longer retain any consciousness of sins.

3 Naye ssaddaaka eza buli mwaka zaabajjukizanga ebibi byabwe.

Whereas in these very sacrifices there is a recalling of sins to mind every year.

4 Kubanga omusaayi gw’ente ennume n’embuzi tegusobola kuggyawo bibi.

For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

5 Noolwekyo Kristo bwe yali ng’ajja mu nsi kyeyava agamba nti, “Ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo tewabyagala. Naye wanteekerateekera omubiri.

Wherefore upon his coming into the world He saith, "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire, but a body hast thou prepared me:

6 Ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’ekibi, tewabisiima.

in whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure:

7 Kyennava njogera nti, ‘Nzuno, nga bwe kyawandiikibwa mu mizingo gy’ebyawandiikibwa: Nzize okukola by’oyagala, ng’Ebyawandiikibwa bwe binjogerako.’”

then said I, Lo I come, as in the volume of the book it is written of me, to do thy will, O God."

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,

Having said before, "Thou didst not desire, nor hadst pleasure in, sacrifice and offering, and whole burnt-offerings, and sacrifices for sin," (which are offered by the law) then He adds,

9 n’alyoka agamba nti, “Nzuuno nzize okukola by’oyagala.” Noolwekyo aggyawo enkola esooka alyoke anyweze enkola eyookubiri.

"Lo I come to do thy will, O God." (He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second.)

10 Twatukuzibwa olw’okwagala kwe, omubiri gwa Yesu Kristo bwe gwaweebwayo omulundi ogumu ku lwaffe ffenna.

By which will we are 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,

And indeed every priest under the law standeth daily ministring, and frequently offering the same sacrifices, which 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 He having offered one sacrifice for sins, is for ever sat down at the right hand of God;

13 Okuva mu kiseera kino alindirira abalabe be bafuulibwe entebe y’ebigere bye.

waiting for the future, till his enemies be put under his feet.

14 Kubanga olw’ekiweebwayo ekyo ekimu, abaatukuzibwa yabawa obutuukirivu obw’emirembe gyonna.

For by one offering He hath perfected for ever those that are sanctified.

15 Mwoyo Mutukuvu naye akikakasa bw’ayogera nti,

And of this the holy Ghost also beareth witness with us:

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.”

for after He had said, "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and on their minds will I inscribe them;

17 Ayongerako kino nti, “Sirijjukira nate bibi byabwe newaakubadde obujeemu bwabwe.”

He adds, and their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more."

18 Naye kaakano awali okusonyiyibwa ebintu ebyo, waba tewakyali kyetaagisa kuwaayo kiweebwayo olw’ebibi.

Now where there is such a remission of these, there needs no more offering for sin.

19 Kale abooluganda nga bwe tulina obuvumu okuyingira mu Watukuvu w’Awatukuvu olw’omusaayi gwa Yesu,

Having therefore, brethren, free admission into the holy places by the blood of Jesus,

20 eyatuggulirawo ekkubo eriggya era eddamu eriyita mu lutimbe, gwe mubiri gwe,

the new and living way which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say,

21 kale nga bwe tulina Kabona Asinga Obukulu nga y’afuga ennyumba ya Katonda,

his flesh, and having a great high-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 draw near with sincerity, in the full assurance of faith, having our hearts cleansed from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Kale tunyweze essuubi lye twatula nga tetusagaasagana, kubanga eyasuubiza mwesigwa,

Let us inflexibly retain the profession of our hope,

24 era tussengayo omwoyo buli muntu eri munne, nga twekubiriza mu kwagala ne mu kukola ebikolwa ebirungi.

(for He is faithful who hath promised) and let us observe each other to the incitement of love and good works:

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.

not forsaking our assemblies, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more as ye see the day approaching.

26 Singa tukola ebibi mu bugenderevu, nga tumaze okumanya amazima, waba tewakyaliwo ssaddaaka eweebwayo olw’ekibi.

For if we sin wilfully after having received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins;

27 Wabula ekiba kisigadde kwe kulindirira okusalirwa omusango ogw’ekibonerezo eky’omuliro ogw’amaanyi ogugenda okumalawo abalabe ba Katonda.

but a dreadful expectation of judgement, and a fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

28 Omuntu yenna eyajeemeranga amateeka ga Musa yattibwanga awatali kusaasirwa, bwe waabangawo abajulirwa babiri oba basatu abamulumiriza.

If any one that violateth the law of Moses, dieth without mercy under 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?

of how much greater punishment, think ye, shall he be counted worthy, who hath trampled under foot the Son of God, and accounted the blood of the covenant, by which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and abused 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 who hath said, "To me belongeth vengeance, I will recompense, saith the Lord:" and again, "The Lord will judge his people."

31 Kintu kya ntiisa okugwa mu mikono gya Katonda omulamu!

It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 Mujjukire ennaku ez’edda bwe mwategeera Kristo, ne mugumiikiriza okubonyaabonyezebwa okw’amaanyi.

But call to remembrance the former days, in which after being enlightened, ye sustained a great conflict of sufferings;

33 Oluusi mwavumibwanga era ne muyigganyizibwa mu lwatu, ate olulala ne mussa kimu n’abo abaabonaabona nga mmwe.

partly, being made a public spectacle by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, as ye became associates of those who were so treated:

34 Mwalumirwa wamu n’abasibe, era mwagumiikiriza n’essanyu bwe mwanyagibwako ebyammwe kubanga mwamanya nti mulina ebisinga obulungi era eby’olubeerera ebibalindiridde.

for ye sympathized with me in my bonds, and ye took joyfully the plundering of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

35 Kale munywererenga ku buvumu bwammwe bwe mulina, obuliko empeera ennene.

Cast not away therefore your couragious profession, which hath a great recompence of reward.

36 Kubanga kibasaanira okugumiikiriza nga mukola Katonda by’ayagala mulyoke mufune ebyo bye yasuubiza.

For ye have need of patience, that having done the will of God ye may receive the promise.

37 Wasigadde akaseera katono nnyo, oyo ow’okujja ajje era talirwa.

For yet a little while, and He, that is coming, will come, and will not delay:

38 Omutuukirivu wange, anaabanga mulamu lwa kukkiriza, kyokka bw’adda emabega simusanyukira.

and the just shall live by faith, but if any draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

39 Naye ffe tetuli ba kudda mabega mu kuzikirira, wabula tulina okukkiriza okunywevu okutuleetera okulokoka.

But we are not of those who withdraw to perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
