Vaebulania 6
1 Hinu, tigaleka pamuhana mawuliwu ga kutumbula kumvala Kilisitu, tihegelela kulongolo mu mawuliwu gegakangili, na lepi kuyendelela kuvika mkingisa ndava kulekana na matendu gangali mana, na kuuvala kumsadika Chapanga,
So let us get beyond the teaching of the elementary doctrines of Christ, and let us be borne along toward what is mature. Let us not be continually laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, faith in God,
2 mawuliwu kuuvala ubatizu na mawuliwu ga kuvikiwa mawoko na mawuliwu ga kuyuka na kuhamuliwa magono goha gangali mwishu. (aiōnios g166)
of the teaching regarding ablutions and the laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Na ago yati tihenga Chapanga akaganayi.
And this we will do, if God permit.
4 Ndava muni yinonopa kuvakita vandu vamuwuyila Chapanga kavili, vandu vala vevavi mu lumuli vamali kupokela chipanji cha kunani kwa Chapanga, vamali kumpokela Mpungu Msopi ngati vandu vangi,
For in the case of those who have been once for all enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the Future Age, (aiōn g165)
6 kangi vakuyileka sadika yavi, nakuhotoleka kuvakita venavo vamuwuyila Chapanga kangi. Venavo vakumvamba pamsalaba kavili Mwana wa Chapanga na kumpela soni pavandu.
and then fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance. For they repeatedly crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and expose him to an open shame.
7 Ndima yipokela fula yeyitonya pamahele, na yiwusa mabenu, gegakumpela chiyonjokesu mlimaji, mgunda wenuwo umotisiwi na Chapanga.
For land that has drunk the showers that now and again fall upon it, and produced vegetation useful for those for whom it was tilled, receives a blessing from God;
8 Nambu mgunda weumelesa minga na matutu, wangali lihengu, papipi Chapanga kupewa likoto na Chapanga kangi kutinyiswa pa motu.
but if it produces thorns and thistles, it is considered worthless, and is in danger of being cursed, and its end will be to be burned.
9 Vankozi vitu, pamonga tijova chenichi, timanyi chakaka kuvya muvi na mambu gabwina neju, gegihuma mu usangula winu.
But though we thus speak, we are persuaded better things of you, beloved, and things that accompany salvation.
10 Ndava muni Chapanga ibuda lepi kuhamula lihengu linu na uganu wemlangisi ndava yaki namuna chamuvatangatili na chemwiyendelela kuvatangatila vandu vaki.
For God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you showed for his cause, in sending help to your fellow Christians, as you are still doing.
11 Mnogo witu ndi kuvya kila mmonga winu alangisa ukangamala wulawula mbaka pa mwishu, muni mambu gala gemuhuvalila gahotola kutimila.
but I am longing that each of you continue to show the same diligence to realize the fulness of your hope, even to the end.
12 Tiganili lepi mvya vakata, nambu muvayigila vala vevisadika na kusindimala muni mpokela gala geajovili Chapanga.
Then do not become slack, but be imitators of those who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises.
13 Chapanga pealagini na Ibulahimu, muni kwavi lepi mkulu kuliku Chapanga alapili kwa kuhengela liina laki mwene,
For when God make the promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself, saying.
14 Chapanga amlagili Ibulahimu, “Chakaka yati nikukumotisa na kukupela vana ngoo.”
Surely I will bless you, and bless you; I will increase you, and increase you.
15 Ibulahimu alindili kwa usindimala kangi apokili chila chealagini Chapanga.
And so by patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the promise.
16 Vandu pevilapa, vilapa kwa liina la mweavi mkulu kuliku vene na chilapu chilangisa kuvya chechijoviwi ndi chakaka, chilapu chitepulanisa ndindani yoha.
I am referring to the oath because men swear by what is greater than themselves, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
17 Ndava Chapanga aganili kuvalangisa hotohoto vala vevipokela lilagizu laki kwa kulapa, mu kukita chenicho alangisi vala veavikini nawu lilagizu kuvya katu ing'anamusa lepi cheigana.
On which principle God, wishing to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his purpose, mediated with an oath;
18 Hinu, kuvi na vindu vivili, lilagizu na chilapu, vihotola lepi kung'anamuka mu vindu vyenivyo vivili Chapanga ihotola lepi kujova udese. Hinu tete vetijumbalili kwaki, tikangamaliswa mtima kukamulila neju huvalila lelivikiwi palongolo yitu.
that by means of two immutable things - his promise and his oath - in which it is impossible for God to break faith, we refugees may have strong encouragement to grasp the hope set before us.
19 Huvalila yeniyi ngati nanga muwumi witu. Huvalila yeniyi yiyimili na yivi makakala, liholota pagati ya lipazia, mbaka pandu Pamsopi neju, Munyumba ya Chapanga yeyivili kunani kwa Chapanga,
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, secure and strong, and passing into the sanctuary which is beyond the veil;
