Bhaebhulania 9
1 Bhai, malagano ga ntai gashinkukola ikubho yakwe ya kwaajuga a Nnungu, na liema lya ukonjelo lya pa shilambolyo.
It is true that even the first covenant had its regulations for divine worship, and its sanctuary – though only a material one.
2 Pabha liema lyashinkualaywa, kati ja kungoposhelo pujashemwaga pa Ukonjelo. Mwenemo pashinkupagwa pabhishilwe kandili, na mesha, na mikate ja ukonjelo.
For a tent was constructed, with an outer part which contained the stand for the lamps, and the table, and the consecrated bread. This is called the sanctuary.
3 Kunyuma ukungushi, jashinkupagwa kati jina jashemwaga pa Ukonjelo gwa Puya.
The part of the tent behind the second curtain is called the inner sanctuary.
4 Mwenemo mwashinkupagwa shitala sha shaabhu sha tutumishiya lubhani na lishanduku lya malagano, lipashilwe shaabhu mmbali yowe. Nkati lyene lishandukulyo, lyashinkupagwa shibhiga shipashilwe shaabhu shatajilwe mana na ntindisho gwa a Aluni gwa ipuka na ibhao ibhili ya maganga yajandikwe malagano.
In it is the gold incense-altar, and the ark containing the covenant, completely covered with gold. In the ark is a gold casket containing the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets on which the covenant was written;
5 Panani lishandukulyo yashinkupagwa igobhi ibhili ya malaika ya ukonjelo gwa a Nnungu, mapapiko gabhonji galibhika nng'wili pa leshelela yambi. Ikabheje nnaino nngabha malanga ga talashiya genego kwa kaje.
while above it, and overshadowing the cover on which atonement was made, are the cherubim of the presence. Now is not the time to discuss these things in detail.
6 Bhai nnei ni shiyashite pangwa indu yowe, bhaabhishila bhatendaga jinjilangana kila lyubha nniema lya palanga kuutenda ikubho yabhonji ya kwaajuga a Nnungu,
Such, then, was the arrangement of the tent. Into the outer part priests are constantly going, in the discharge of their sacred duties;
7 Ikabheje bhakulungwa bhaabhishila jikape bhajinjilaga nniema lya bhili, kamo kwa shaka. Bhatendaga pinjikwa kupeleka minyai ja bhannyama, jibhashoyaga kwa ligongo lya yambi yabho bhayene, na yambi ya bhandunji ibhatendilenje gwangali kumumanya.
but into the inner only the high priest goes, and that but once a year, and never without taking the blood of a victim, which he offers on his own behalf, and on behalf of the errors of the people.
8 Kwa nneyo, Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo atendaga langula kuti mpanda gwa jinjila pa Ukonjelo Gwa puya, gwaaliji ukanabhe ugulwa mobha gowe ga lonjeya kwa liema lya ntai.
By this the Holy Spirit is teaching that the way into the sanctuary was hidden, as long as the outer part of the tent still remained.
9 Genego gashinkubha shilanda sha mobha ga nnaino gano, shilanguya kuti mbepei na yukilo, ikakuntenda mundu atindibhalila akamilishe muntima.
For that was only a type, to continue down to the present time; and, in keeping with it, both gifts and sacrifices are offered, though incapable of satisfying the conscience of the worshiper;
10 Yene yoweyo ni shalia ya nshiilu, ga yalya, na ya papila, na namuna ja nabha. Yeneyo yashinkuamulishwa kukagulwa mpaka mobha a Nnungu pushibhaalaye indu yowe gwa ambi.
the whole system being concerned only with food and drink and various ablutions – external ceremonials imposed until the coming of the new order.
11 Ikabheje a Kilishitu gubhaishe, bhali bhakulungwa bhaabhishila bha indu ya mmbone iishe nnaino. Bhenebho gubhapite nniema lya kamilika lyangaalaywa kwa makono ga bhandu, yani nngabha liema lya pa shilambolyo pano.
But, when Christ came, he appeared as high priest of that better system which was established; and he entered through that nobler and more perfect tent, not made by human hands – that is to say, not a part of this present creation.
12 Bhashinkujinjila pa Ukonjelo kaje kamope gubhapeleshe minyai, nngabha ja mmbui na ng'ombe, ikabhe minyai jabho bhayene, nkupinga tugombolwe piti piti kwa bhei jikulungwa. (aiōnios g166)
Nor was it with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, that he entered, once and for all, into the sanctuary, and obtained our eternal deliverance. (aiōnios g166)
13 Bhandu bhalebhilenje bhashinkutakaywanga kwa mishiywa minyai ja ng'ombe na mmbui, na liu lya litumbwe lya ng'ombe lya likolo lyalitiniywe.
For, if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of the ashes of a heifer, purify those who have been defiled (as far as ceremonial purification goes),
14 Bhai kwa minyai ja a Kilishitu indu yaikulungwa ikatendeka? Kwa mashili gaka Mbumu jwa pitipiti, a Kilishitu bhashinkwiishoya bhayene kubha mbepei ja ukonjelo kwa a Nnungu. Minyai jabho shijitutakaye ng'aniyo yetu ya muntima, ipeleshela shiwo, nkupinga twaatumishile a Nnungu bhakwete gumi. (aiōnios g166)
how much more will the blood of the Christ, who, through his eternal Spirit, offered himself up to God, as a victim without blemish, purify our consciences from a lifeless formality, and fit us for the service of the living God! (aiōnios g166)
15 Kwa nneyo a Kilishitu ni bhaalundanya bha malagano ga ambi, na bhene bhashemilwenje na a Nnungu, shibhaposhelanje ulishi gwa pitipiti gubhabhishilwenje na a Nnungu. Shiwo shabho shinakwaagombolanga bhandunji na yambi yabhonji ibhatendilenje mobha ga malagano ga bhukala. (aiōnios g166)
And that is why he is the intermediary of a new covenant; in order that, as a death has taken place to effect a deliverance from the offenses committed under the first covenant, those who have received the call may obtain the eternal inheritance promised to them. (aiōnios g166)
16 Malajilo ga ulishi pugaakagulwa mpaka imanyishe kuti ajandishe jula awile.
Whenever such a covenant as a will is in question, the death of the testator must of necessity be alleged.
17 Malajilo ga ulishi gakakola mashili mpaka awe alajile, pabha malajilo ga ulishi gakakola malombolelo ibhaga alajile ali jwankoto.
For such a covenant takes effect only on death, it does not come into force as long as the testator is alive.
18 Pabha nkali malagano ga ntai gakanatendeshe gwangali jitika minyai.
This explains why even the first covenant was not ratified without the shedding of blood.
19 A Musha pubhatandubhaga kulunguya ku bhandu bhowe, amuli yowe ya shalia, nitolaga minyai ja litumbwe lya ng'ombe na mmbui na mashi, na maamba ga nkongo gwa ishopo na mabhetya ganashe ga ngondolo, gubhamishiye nshitabhu sha malajilo shila, na ku bhandunji bhowe.
For, when every command had been announced to all the people by Moses in accordance with the Law, he took the blood of the calves and of the goats, with water, scarlet wool, and a bunch of hyssop, and sprinkled even the book of the Law, as well as all the people,
20 A Musha bhalinkuti, “Jejino ni minyai ja malagano gunng'amulishwenje na a Nnungu.”
saying, as he did so – “This is the blood that renders valid the covenant which God has commanded to be made with you.”
21 Nneyo peyo a Musha gubhamishiye minyai jila nniema na indu itumika nkwaajuga a Nnungu
And in the same way he also sprinkled with the blood the tent and all the things that were used in public worship.
22 Elo, kwa tolelela shalia tome indu yowe inatakaywa kwa minyai, gwangali jitika minyai yambi ikaaleshelelwa.
Indeed, under the Law, almost everything is purified with blood; and, unless blood is shed, no forgiveness is to be obtained.
23 Yene indui puyaaliji malinga shilanda sha indu ya kunnungu, yashinkutakaywa kwa shana nneyo. Ikabheje indu ya kunnungu inaapinjikwa kutakaywa na mbepei ya mmbone kupunda yeneyo.
While, then, it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly realities to be purified by such means as these, the heavenly realities themselves required better sacrifices.
24 Pabha a Kilishitu bhangajinjila pa Ukonjelo pashenjilwe na bhandunji, paliji shilanda sha kweli. Ikabhe bhashinkujinjila kunnungu kuyene, nnaino kubhali kwa a Nnungu, kwa ligongo lyetu uwe.
For it was not into a sanctuary made by human hands, which merely foreshadowed the true one, that Christ entered, but into heaven itself, so that he might now appear in the presence of God on our behalf.
25 Bhakulungwa bhaabhishila bha Bhayaudi, bhanajinjila pa Ukonjelo kila shaka bhali bhajigele minyai jika nnyama. Ikabheje a Kilishitu bhangajinjila mwenemo nkupinga bhaishoye bhayene mbepei papagwinji,
Nor yet was it to offer himself may times, as year after year the high priest entered the sanctuary with an offering of blood – but not his own blood;
26 pabha ikaliji nneyo, a Kilishitu bhakapotekwe papagwinji kuumila kupanganywa kwa shilambolyo. Ikabheje nnaino, mobha pugabhandishila kumpelo, bhenebho bhashinkukoposhela kamope pubhaishoshiye bhayene kubha mbepei ja leshelela yambi. (aiōn g165)
for then Christ would have had to undergo death many times since the creation of the world. But now, once and for all, at the close of the age, he has appeared, in order to abolish sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)
27 Bhai malinga shiikubha, mundu anawa kamope na awaga anaukumulwa na a Nnungu.
And, as it is ordained for people to die but once (death being followed by judgment),
28 Nneyo peyo, a Kilishitu na bhalabho bhashinkwiishoya bhayene kubha mbepei kamope, kwa ligongo lya leshelela ilebho ya bhandu bhabhagwinji. Pushibhaishe gwa bhili nngabha kuleshelela ilebho, ikabheje kukwaatapulanga bhene bhakwaalindanga kwa amu bhala.
so it is with the Christ. He was offered up once and for all, to bear away the sins of many; and the second time he will appear – but without any burden of sin – to those who are waiting for him, to bring salvation.
