Abaebbulaniya 9
1 Endagaano ey’olubereberye, yalina amateeka agaalagirwa ag’okusinzanga Katonda, era waaliwo n’eweema entukuvu ey’oku nsi.
Now indeed even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and an earthly sanctuary.
2 Mu weema eno mwalimu ebisenge bibiri. Mu kisenge ekisooka nga mwe muli ekikondo ekya zaabu eky’ettaala, n’emmeeza okwabeeranga emigaati emyawule, ekisenge kino kyayitibwanga Ekifo Ekitukuvu.
For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part were the lamp stand, the table, and the show bread, which is called the Holy Place.
3 Era waaliwo olutimbe olwokubiri ng’emabega waalwo we wali ekifo ekiyitibwa Awatukuvu w’Awatukuvu.
After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,
4 Mu kifo ekyo mwalimu ekyoterezo ky’obubaane ekya zaabu, n’essanduuko ey’endagaano, eyabikkibwako zaabu ku buli ludda. Mu ssanduuko nga mulimu ekibya ekya zaabu ekyalimu emmaanu, n’omuggo gwa Alooni nga gutojjedde, n’ebipande eby’amayinja eby’Amateeka Ekkumi eby’endagaano.
having a golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;
5 Ku kisaanikira ky’essanduuko nga kuliko bakerubbi ab’ekitiibwa nga basiikirizza entebe ey’okusaasira; ebintu ebyo tetuyinza kubyogerako kaakano kinnakimu.
and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we cannot speak now in detail.
6 Ebintu byonna nga bimaze okutegekebwa bwe bityo, bakabona baayingiranga mu kisenge ekisooka buli lunaku ne bakola emirimu gyabwe egy’okuweereza.
Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,
7 Naye Kabona Asinga Obukulu yekka ye yayingiranga mu kisenge eky’omunda omulundi gumu buli mwaka. Yagendangayo n’omusaayi, gwe yawangayo ku lulwe n’olw’ebibi by’abantu bye baakolanga mu butanwa.
but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people.
8 Mu bino byonna, Mwoyo Mutukuvu atutegeeza bulungi nti, Ekkubo erituuka mu bifo ebitukuvu lyali terinnamanyika, ng’eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu ey’olubereberye ekyaliwo, n’enkola ey’edda ng’ekyaliwo.
The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place was not yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing.
9 Amakulu geekyo mu kiseera kya leero, ge gano: ebirabo ne Ssaddaaka ebyaweebwangayo tebiyinza kutukuza mutima gw’oyo asinza.
This is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshiper perfect,
10 Bikoma ku byakulya na byakunywa na ku bulombolombo obw’okunaaba, n’ebiragiro abantu bye baalina okukwata n’okugondera okutuusa ku biro eby’okuzza ebintu obuggya.
being only (with foods and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.
11 Kristo yajja nga Kabona Asinga Obukulu ow’ebintu ebirungi ebyali bigenda okujja. Yayingira mu weema esinga obukulu n’okutuukirira, etaakolebwa na mikono gya bantu, etali ya mu nsi muno.
But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
12 Teyayingira na musaayi gwa mbuzi wadde ogw’ente ennume, naye yayingira mu Watukuvu w’Awatukuvu omulundi gumu gwokka n’omusaayi gwe; bw’atyo ye yennyini n’atufunira obulokozi obutaggwaawo. (aiōnios g166)
nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained consummate (aiōnios g166) redemption.
13 Obanga omusaayi gw’embuzi, n’ente ennume, n’evvu ly’ente enduusi, bimansirwa ku abo abalina ebibi, ne bibatukuza mu mubiri;
For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh,
14 omusaayi gwa Kristo ataliiko kamogo, eyeewaayo ye yennyini eri Katonda olw’Omwoyo ataggwaawo, tegulisinga nnyo okutukuza emyoyo gyaffe okuva mu bikolwa ebifu tulyoke tuweereze Katonda omulamu? (aiōnios g166)
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the consummate (aiōnios g166) Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15 Noolwekyo Kristo ye mutabaganya mu ndagaano empya, okufa bwe kwabaawo olw’okununulibwa okuva mu byonoono eby’omu ndagaano eyasooka, abo abaayitibwa ab’obusika obutaggwaawo balyoke baweebwe ekisuubizo. (aiōnios g166)
For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the consummate (aiōnios g166) inheritance.
16 Kubanga ekiraamo kiteekebwa mu nkola ng’eyakikola amaze kufa.
For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.
17 Kubanga kikola ng’eyakikola afudde, kubanga tekiba na makulu eyakikola bw’aba ng’akyali mulamu.
For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.
18 Era n’endagaano ey’olubereberye teyakolebwa awatali musaayi.
Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.
19 Kubanga Musa bwe yamala okuwa abantu bonna Amateeka, n’atwala omusaayi gwa zisseddume n’ogw’embuzi, n’amazzi, n’addira obutabi obw’akawoowo obwa ezobu, n’ebyoya by’endiga ebiriko omusaayi, n’amansira ku kitabo kyennyini era ne ku bantu.
For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,
20 N’ayogera nti, “Guno gwe musaayi gw’endagaano Katonda gye yabalagira okukwata.”
saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.”
21 Era bw’atyo n’amansira ne ku weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne ku byonna ebyakozesebwanga mu kusinza.
He sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in the same way with the blood.
22 Era mu mateeka buli kintu kitukuzibwa na musaayi, era awatali kuyiwa musaayi tewabaawo kusonyiyibwa.
According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.
23 Ebifaananyi by’ebintu eby’omu ggulu kyebiva byetaaga okutukuzibwa ne ssaddaaka, naye ebintu eby’omu ggulu byennyini biteekwa kutukuzibwa na ssaddaaka ezisinga ezo.
It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 Kubanga Kristo teyayingira mu kifo kya Watukuvu w’Awatukuvu ekyakolebwa n’emikono gy’abantu, naye yayingira mu ggulu mwennyini gy’ali kaakano mu maaso ga Katonda ku lwaffe.
For Christ has not entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;
25 Kristo teyayingira mu ggulu kwewangayo mirundi mingi, nga Kabona Asinga Obukulu bw’ayingira mu Watukuvu w’Awatukuvu buli mwaka n’omusaayi ogutali gugwe,
nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,
26 kubanga kyali kimugwanira okubonaabonanga emirundi mingi okuva ku kutondebwa kw’ensi. Naye kaakano yajja omulundi gumu ku nkomerero y’omulembe, ne yeewaayo yennyini ng’ekiweebwayo. (aiōn g165)
or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the consummation of the ages (aiōn g165), he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 Ng’abantu bwe baterekerwa okufa omulundi gumu n’oluvannyuma okulamulwa ne kutuuka,
Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,
28 era ne Kristo bw’atyo yaweebwayo omulundi gumu ne yeetikka ebibi by’abantu bonna. Alirabika nate omulundi ogwokubiri, si kuddamu kwetikka bibi byaffe, wabula okuleeta obulokozi eri abo abamulindirira.
so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
