Waebulaniya 12
1 Su toziya twenga tuzyengetwa na shipinga shikulu sha wakapitawu. Su tuwusiyi kila shipingiru shashitupingira, na vidoda virii vyavitulemetera na tutugi mbiru kwa uhepelera mukutuga kwakutulitwi kulongolu kwatwenga.
For that reason, since we are surrounded by such a great crowd of people who gave evidence of their trust in God, let's get rid of everything that holds us back, the seductive sins that trip us up, and let's keep on running the race placed before us.
2 Tumloli Yesu mweni ndo yakanjishiti njimiru ya twenga na mweni hakaitendi teratera. Toziya ya nemeru yayiweriti yankumuhepera, yomberi kahepeleriti kuhowa palupingika, pota kulishera kusoniziwa kwakuwi, na vinu kankulikala uwega wa kumliwu wa shibanta sha ukulu sha Mlungu.
We should keep on looking to Jesus, the one who begins and completes our trust in God. Because of the joy ahead of him Jesus endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and sat down at the right hand of God's throne.
3 Mumuholi Yesu ntambu yakahepeleriti pakakalaziyitwi na yawatenda vidoda. Su namfuwa moyu ama namtoka.
Think about Jesus who endured such hostility from sinful people so you don't grow tired and become discouraged.
4 Mukukanka vidoda, mwenga msoka ndiri kwita mwazi gwenu.
Your resistance so far hasn't cost you blood as you fight against sin.
5 Mwenga mulyaluwiti visoweru vilii vyaviwapanana moyu, Mlungu kankuwagambira mwenga handa wana wakuwi? “Mwana gwangu, nagubeza azabu ya Mtuwa, ama naguwuya kumbeli pakakukalipira.
Have you forgotten God's appeal to you when he reasons with you as his children? He says, “My child, don't treat the Lord's discipline lightly, and don't give up when he corrects you either.
6 Toziya Mtuwa kamfunda kila yakamfira, kamwazibu kila yakamjimira kuwera mwana gwakuwi.”
The Lord disciplines everyone he loves, and he punishes everyone he welcomes as his child.”
7 Muhepeleri pamwazibiwa handa mafundu toziya Mlungu kawatendera mwenga handa wana wakuwi. Hashi, kwana mwana yakafundwa ndiri na tati gwakuwi?
Be patient as you experience God's discipline because he is treating you as his children. What child doesn't experience a father's discipline?
8 Handa pamwazibiwa ndiri gambira wana wamonga, su mwenga mwawana wa wakuwi ndiri wanakaka.
If you are not disciplined, (which everyone has experienced), then you are illegitimate and not true children.
9 Kayi, twenga tuwapanana ligoya watati wetu wa pasipanu yawatuleriti na yawatwazibu. Su tufiruwa kumjimira nentu Tati gwetu gwa kumpindi su tupati kulikala.
For if we respected our earthly fathers who disciplined us, shouldn't we even more be subject to the discipline of our spiritual Father which leads to life?
10 Watati wa twenga pasipanu watufunda kwa shipindi shididini, handa womberi weni ntambu yawawoniti kuwera iherepa, kumbiti Mlungu kankutuazibu kwajili ya mota yetu twaweni, su tuweri wananagala gambira mweni.
They disciplined us for a short while as they thought appropriate, but God does so for our benefit in order that we can share his holy character.
11 Vinu kwazibiwa shitwatira ndiri sha kunemiziya kumbiti su sha kwinginiziya. Kumbiti walii yawafunditwi kuwera na ligoya upeleru hawabenangi lifupu lya ponga kulawa mumakaliru yagamfiriziya Mlungu.
When it happens, all discipline seems painful and not something to be happy about. But later on it produces peace in those who have been trained in this way so that they do what is good and right.
12 Su mugapanani makakala mawoku genu yagawera legulegu na kugangamaziya manung'unu genu yagawera legulegu.
So strengthen your feeble hands, and your weak knees!
13 Mwendereyi kugendagenda munjira yainyoshikiti, su shirii shashilewerekiti nashitilinduka, kumbiti shiponiziwi.
Make straight paths to walk on, so that those who are crippled won't lose their way, but will be healed.
14 Msakuli nentu kuwera na ponga na wantu woseri na mulikali makaliru ga unanagala, toziya pota unanagala kwahera muntu yakaweza kumwona Mtuwa.
Do your best to live in peace with everybody, and look for holiness—if you don't have this you won't see the Lord.
15 Mulikali weri muntu yoseri nakahowiziya manemu ga Mlungu. Muliloleri weri su lushigira lwalutomora shing'ong'u nalulawira pakati pa mwenga na kuwadodisiya wavuwa.
Make sure that none of you lack God's grace, in case some cause of bitterness arises to give trouble and end up corrupting many of you.
16 Mulikali weri muwamu mwenu napawera na muntu muhumba ama muntu yakamguwira ndiri Mlungu gambira Esawu, yakawuziti wiwuka wakuwi wa kwanja kwa shiboga sha mala yimu.
Make sure there's nobody who is sexually immoral, or irreligious, like Esau was. He sold his birthright for a single meal.
17 Mwenga muvimana handa pakafiriti kupata kayi tekelera ilii yayiweriti yakuwi, kabeliritwi toziya kapatiti kayi ndiri lupenyu lwa kugalambiziya shilii shakatenditi, ata pakakisakuliti kwa masozi.
You remember that even when he wanted to receive the blessing later on he was refused. Even though he really tried, and cried hard, Esau couldn't change what he had done.
18 Mwenga msokiti ndiri kulugongu lwamuweza kulukola na lwalwakiti motu ama papawera na luwindu dunu na lipuga,
You haven't arrived at a physical mountain that can be touched, that burned with fire, to a stormy place of black darkness,
19 na liziwu lya mbalapi na liziwu lya visoweru. Walii yawapakiniriti liziwu ali waluwiti nawapikanira kayi shisoweru shimonga.
where the sound of a trumpet and a voice speaking was heard—and those who heard the voice begged never to hear it speak to them again.
20 Toziya wadahiti ndiri kuhepelera lilagaliru lyalilaviyitwi, “Ata handa nkanyama pakashinkula lugongu alu, hakagumwi mabuwi mpaka kafuwi.”
For they couldn't take what they were told to do, such as, “Even if a farm animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.”
21 Goseri aga gawonekaniti gakutiliziya nentu, Musa kalongiti, “Nankutira na kubegema.”
The sight was so terrifying that Moses himself said, “I'm so scared I'm shaking!”
22 Kumbiti mwenga msoka mulugongu lwa Sayuni, lushi lwa Mlungu yakawera na ukomu, Yerusalemu lwa kumpindi, kwakuweriti wantumintumi wa kumpindi yawawalangikika ndiri, munemeleri.
But you have arrived at Mount Zion, the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem, with its thousands and thousands of angels.
23 Msoka mulijojiniru likulu lya wantu wa Mlungu yawashemwa wiwuka wa kwanja, weni matawu gawu galembwa kumpindi. Mgoloka kulongolu kwa Mlungu yakawera mtoza gwa woseri, na kulongolu kwa rohu zya wantu waheri kulongolu kwa Mlungu yawatenditwi teratera.
You have come to the church of the firstborn whose names are written down in heaven, to God, the judge of everyone, and to those good people whose lives are complete.
24 Msoka kwa Yesu, yomberi ndo mkolaniziya mulipatanu lya syayi, na kwa mwazi gwakuwi gwagumyatiriti kuwera gutakula vitwatira viheri kuliku mwazi gwa Abeli.
You have come to Jesus, who shares with us the new agreed relationship, to the sprinkled blood that means more than that of Abel.
25 Su mulikali weri namwiza kulema kumpikinira ayu yakatakula na mwenga. Gambira walii yawalemiti kumpikinira ulii yakawaberiziyiti pasipanu walopoziwitwi ndiri, twenga hatudahi hashi kushapira handa patulema kumpikinira ulii yakatuberiziya kulawa kumpindi!
Make sure you don't reject the one who is speaking! If they didn't escape when they rejected God on earth, it is even more certain that we won't escape if we turn away from God who warns us from heaven!
26 Mushipindi shilii liziwu libegiziyiti isi, kumbiti vinu kalagila, “Hanupabegiziyi pasipanu kayi kwa mala yimonga, pasipanu hera ndiri kumbiti na kumpindi viraa.”
Back then God's voice shook the earth, but his promise is now: “One more time I'm going to shake not only the earth, but heaven too.”
27 Visoweru avi “kayi kwa mala yimonga” vyankutulanguziya kuwera vintu vyoseri vyavinyawitwi havibegeziwi na kuwuka su visigali vilii vyavibegiziwa ndiri.
This expression, “one more time,” indicates that all creation that is shaken is removed so that everything that is not shaken may remain.
28 Twenga, tulongi mayagashii, toziya twankuwanka ufalumi yawubegiziwa ndiri. Tuweri na mayagashii na kumguwira Mlungu kwa ntambu yayimfiriziya, na kwa kuguwira na lyoga,
Since we're receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have a gracious attitude, so we can serve God in a way that pleases him, with reverence and respect.
29 toziya Mlungu gwetu nakaka ndo motu gwaguhalibisiya.
For “our God is a fire that consumes.”
