Abaebbulaniya 4

1 Noolwekyo ng’ekisuubizo eky’okuyingira mu kiwummulo kye, bwe kikyaliwo, twerinde, omuntu yenna ku mmwe aleme kulabika nga takituuseemu.

Wherefore, let us be afraid, lest a promise of entrance into the rest, being left, any of you should seem to fall short of it.

2 Kubanga naffe tubuuliddwa Enjiri, nga nabo bwe baagibuulirwa. Kyokka baalema okukkiriza ekigambo kye baawulira, era tebaalina kye baagasibwa.

For glad tidings have been proclaimed to us, as well as to them: but the word which they heard did not profit them; not being mixed with faith in them who heard it.

3 Kubanga ffe abakkiriza, ffe tuyinza okuyingira mu kiwummulo kye, nga bwe yayogera nti, “Kyennava ndayira nga nsunguwadde nti, ‘Tebaliyingira mu kiwummulo kyange.’” Omulimu gwe gwaggwa ku kutondebwa kw’ensi.

For we, who have believed, do enter into the rest, as he said, "So, I swore, in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest"; namely, from the works that were finished at the formation of the world.

4 Kubanga waliwo w’ayogerera nti, “Katonda bwe yamala okukola emirimu gye gyonna n’awummulira ku lunaku olw’omusanvu.”

For he has spoken somewhere concerning the seventh day, thus: "And God rested on the seventh day, from all his works."

5 Ayongera n’agamba nti, “Tebaliyingira mu kiwummulo kyange.”

And in this, again, "They shall not enter into my rest."

6 Kyaterekerwa abamu okuyingiramu, ate ng’abo abaasooka okubuulirwa Enjiri, tebaayingira olw’obujeemu.

Since, then, it remains for some to enter into it, and that they who first received the good tidings, did not enter in on account of unbelief:

7 Katonda kyeyava ateekateeka nate olunaku, n’alutuuma leero, bwe yayogerera mu Dawudi, oluvannyuma lw’ekiseera ekiwanvu nti, “Leero bwe munaawulira eddoboozi lye, Temukakanyaza mitima gyammwe.

again, he limits a certain day, saying, by David, "To-day," after so long a time; as it is said, "To-day, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts."

8 Kubanga singa Yoswa yabatwala mu kifo eky’okuwummula, Katonda teyandiyogedde ku lunaku olulala olw’okuwummula.”

For, if Joshua has caused them to rest, he would not, after that, have spoken of another day.

9 Naye Katonda atusuubizza olunaku olwa Ssabbiiti lwe tuliwummula, newaakubadde nga terunnatuuka.

There remains, therefore, a divine rest for the people of God.

10 Kubanga oyo ayingira mu kiwummulo kya Katonda, awummula emirimu gye nga Katonda bwe yawummula ng’amaze emirimu gye.

For he who has entered into his rest, has himself, also, rested from his own works, like as God, also, rested from his.

11 Noolwekyo tufubenga okuyingira mu kiwummulo ekyo, omuntu yenna alemenga kugoberera ekyokulabirako ekibi eky’abajeemu.

Wherefore let us carefully strive to enter into THIS REST, lest any one should fall after the same example of unbelief.

12 Ekigambo kya Katonda kiramu era kikola. Kisala okusinga ekitala eky’obwogi obubiri, era kiyitamu ne kituukira ddala ku mmeeme n’omwoyo, n’ennyingo n’obusomyo, era kyawula ebirowoozo n’okufumiitiriza kw’omutima.

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

13 Katonda amanyi ebintu byonna, so tewali kitonde na kimu ekikwekeddwa amaaso ge. Alaba buli kintu, era tulyogera mazima nga tumutegeeza buli kimu.

And there is no creature concealed from his sight, for all things are naked and open to the eyes of him, to whom we must give an account.

14 Noolwekyo nga bwe tulina Kabona Asinga Obukulu, eyagenda mu ggulu, ye Yesu, Omwana wa Katonda, tunyweze okukkiriza kwe twayatula.

Now, having a great High Priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

15 Tulina Kabona Asinga Obukulu alumirwa awamu naffe mu bunafu bwaffe, eyakemebwa mu byonna nga ffe, kyokka n’atakola kibi kyonna.

For we have not a High Priest who can not sympathize with our weaknesses; but one who was tried in all points, according to the likeness of his nature to our ours, without sin.

16 Kale tusembererenga entebe ya Katonda ey’obwakabaka ey’ekisa n’obuvumu, tufune okusaasirwa n’ekisa tubeerwe mu kwetaaga kwaffe.

Let us, therefore, approach, with boldness, to the throne of favor, that we may receive mercy, and obtain favor for the purpose of seasonable help.
