Vaebulania 4
1 Hinu, ndava Chapanga atipeli lilagizi ya kupokela pumulilo na tijiyangalila muni hati mmonga winu, angahotola kupata pumulilo lenilo.
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 Ndava muni tete mewawa tikokosiwi Lilovi la Bwina ngati chevakokosiliwi vandu va kadeni, vayuwini lilovi nambu yavatangatili lepi chindu, muni vala vevayuwini vaupokili lepi kwa sadika.
For to us was the gospel preached, as well as to them: but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 Nambu, tete vetisadika tipata pumulilo lenilo lealagizi Chapanga. Ngati cheajovili, “Penalapili mu ligoga langu, ‘Kuvya katu yati viyingila lepi pandu pangu pa pumulilo.’” Chapanga ajovili ago pamonga lihengu yaki amali kuyimala kutumbula peawumbili mulima.
For we who have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 Muni Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova pandu nunuyu ndava ya ligono la saba, “Chapanga apumulili ligono la saba, alekili mahengu gaki goha.”
For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God rested the seventh day from all his works.
5 Kangi lijambu lenili lijoviwi mewa, “Viyingila lepi katu pamulima wenikuvapela vapumulila.”
And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Vandu vala vevayuwini hoti Lilovi la Bwina vapokili lepi pumulilo lenilo, ndava vabeli kuyidakila, nambu leajovili Chapanga lakona livili kwa vangi kupumulila.
Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter into it, and they to whom it was first preached entered not because of unbelief:
7 Nambu Chapanga avikili ligono lingi lelikemelewa “Lelu,” Akajova miyaka yamahele mwanakandahi mu njila ya Daudi malovi gegamali kuluwuliwa, “Ngati myuwana lwami lwa Chapanga lelu, mkoto kukita mitima yinu yinonopa.”
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 Ngati Yoshua avapelili vandu avo pumulilo lenilo, Chapanga ngaajovili lepi ndava ya ligono lingi.
For if Joshua had given them rest, then he would not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 Ndava yeniyo, kupumulila kwa vandu va Chapanga kwakona kuvili, ngati Chapanga cheapumulili ligono la saba.
There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 Muni, kila mweiyingila pandu pa pumulilo leajovili Chapanga yati ipumulila kuhuma mulihengu laki ngati mewa Chapanga cheapumulili kuhuma mulihengu laki.
For he that hath entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Hinu, tikangamalayi kupokela pumulila lenilo, muni akotoka kuvya mundu pagati yitu mweibela kuyidakila ngati chavahengili vene.
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
12 Lilovi la Chapanga ndi mumi na lina makakala. Na litema kuliku upanga wowoha wewitema pandi zoha. Kangi liholota mbaka pevikonganika mtima na mpungu, na mewawa litema mbaka muvinjukulundu na mahuta ga majege pevikonganika, kangi liyuyuka kuhamula mnogo na maholo ga mitima ya vandu.
For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged 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 intents of the heart.
13 Kawaka chiwumbi chochoha chechifiyiki palongolo ya Chapanga, kila chindu chigubukuliwi njwe palongolo ya mihu gaki, mwene ndi mweihamula kila chindu chetihenga.
Neither is there any creature that is hidden in his sight: but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 Hinu, tiyikamula bwina sadika yetiwungama. Muni tivii na Mteta Mkulu mweiyingili mbaka kunani kwa Chapanga, Yesu Mwana wa Chapanga.
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that hath passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 Ndava muni tivii na Mteta Mkulu wa Chapanga mweakutihengela lipyana, ndava ungolongondi witu, mwene alingiwi ngati tete mukila namuna nambu ambudili lepi Chapanga.
For we have not an high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but who was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
16 Hinu, na tichihegelela chigoda cha ulongosi cha Chapanga pepavi na ubwina, changali wogohi mweavi na ubwina, tipokela lipyana na mota wa kututangatila lukumbi lwa mang'ahiso.
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
