Abaebbulaniya 9
1 Endagaano ey’olubereberye, yalina amateeka agaalagirwa ag’okusinzanga Katonda, era waaliwo n’eweema entukuvu ey’oku nsi.
Then verily the first [covenant] had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly 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 there was a tabernacle made; the first, in which [was] the candlestick, and the table, and the show-bread; which is called the sanctuary.
3 Era waaliwo olutimbe olwokubiri ng’emabega waalwo we wali ekifo ekiyitibwa Awatukuvu w’Awatukuvu.
And after the second vail, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
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.
Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid around with gold, in which [was] the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables 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 over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy-seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
6 Ebintu byonna nga bimaze okutegekebwa bwe bityo, bakabona baayingiranga mu kisenge ekisooka buli lunaku ne bakola emirimu gyabwe egy’okuweereza.
Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service [of God]:
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 [went] the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered 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 this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while the first tabernacle was yet standing:
9 Amakulu geekyo mu kiseera kya leero, ge gano: ebirabo ne Ssaddaaka ebyaweebwangayo tebiyinza kutukuza mutima gw’oyo asinza.
Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
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.
[Which stood] only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed [on them] until the 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 being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
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)
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood; he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us]. (aiōnios g166)
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 bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctify to the purifying 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 shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios g166)
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)
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they who are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)
16 Kubanga ekiraamo kiteekebwa mu nkola ng’eyakikola amaze kufa.
For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 Kubanga kikola ng’eyakikola afudde, kubanga tekiba na makulu eyakikola bw’aba ng’akyali mulamu.
For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
18 Era n’endagaano ey’olubereberye teyakolebwa awatali musaayi.
Hence even the first [testament] was not 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 Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book and all the people,
20 N’ayogera nti, “Guno gwe musaayi gw’endagaano Katonda gye yabalagira okukwata.”
Saying, This [is] the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined to you.
21 Era bw’atyo n’amansira ne ku weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, ne ku byonna ebyakozesebwanga mu kusinza.
Moreover, he sprinkled likewise with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 Era mu mateeka buli kintu kitukuzibwa na musaayi, era awatali kuyiwa musaayi tewabaawo kusonyiyibwa.
And almost all things are by the law cleansed with blood; and without shedding of blood 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] therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified 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 hath not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures 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 entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
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)
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)
27 Ng’abantu bwe baterekerwa okufa omulundi gumu n’oluvannyuma okulamulwa ne kutuuka,
And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the 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 was once offered to bear the sins of many; and to them that look for him he will appear the second time without sin to salvation.
