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.
Therefore, surrounded as we are by such a vast cloud of witnesses, let us fling aside every encumbrance and the sin that so readily entangles our feet. And let us run with patient endurance the race that lies 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.
simply fixing our gaze upon Jesus, our Prince Leader in the faith, who will also award us the prize. He, for the sake of the joy which lay before Him, patiently endured the cross, looking with contempt upon its shame, and afterwards seated Himself-- where He still sits--at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Mumuholi Yesu ntambu yakahepeleriti pakakalaziyitwi na yawatenda vidoda. Su namfuwa moyu ama namtoka.
Therefore, if you would escape becoming weary and faint-hearted, compare your own sufferings with those of Him who endured such hostility directed against Him by sinners.
4 Mukukanka vidoda, mwenga msoka ndiri kwita mwazi gwenu.
In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted so as to endanger your lives;
5 Mwenga mulyaluwiti visoweru vilii vyaviwapanana moyu, Mlungu kankuwagambira mwenga handa wana wakuwi? “Mwana gwangu, nagubeza azabu ya Mtuwa, ama naguwuya kumbeli pakakukalipira.
and you have quite forgotten the encouraging words which are addressed to you as sons, and which say, "My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's discipline, and do not faint when He corrects you;
6 Toziya Mtuwa kamfunda kila yakamfira, kamwazibu kila yakamjimira kuwera mwana gwakuwi.”
for those whom the Lord loves He disciplines: and He scourges every son whom He acknowledges."
7 Muhepeleri pamwazibiwa handa mafundu toziya Mlungu kawatendera mwenga handa wana wakuwi. Hashi, kwana mwana yakafundwa ndiri na tati gwakuwi?
The sufferings that you are enduring are for your discipline. God is dealing with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
8 Handa pamwazibiwa ndiri gambira wana wamonga, su mwenga mwawana wa wakuwi ndiri wanakaka.
And if you are left without discipline, of which every true son has had a share, that shows that you are bastards, and not true sons.
9 Kayi, twenga tuwapanana ligoya watati wetu wa pasipanu yawatuleriti na yawatwazibu. Su tufiruwa kumjimira nentu Tati gwetu gwa kumpindi su tupati kulikala.
Besides this, our earthly fathers used to discipline us and we treated them with respect, and shall we not be still more submissive to the Father of our spirits, and live?
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.
It is true that they disciplined us for a few years according as they thought fit; but He does it for our certain good, in order that we may become sharers in His own 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.
Now, at the time, discipline seems to be a matter not for joy, but for grief; yet it afterwards yields to those who have passed through its training a result full of peace--namely, righteousness.
12 Su mugapanani makakala mawoku genu yagawera legulegu na kugangamaziya manung'unu genu yagawera legulegu.
Therefore strengthen the drooping hands and paralysed knees,
13 Mwendereyi kugendagenda munjira yainyoshikiti, su shirii shashilewerekiti nashitilinduka, kumbiti shiponiziwi.
and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put entirely out of joint
14 Msakuli nentu kuwera na ponga na wantu woseri na mulikali makaliru ga unanagala, toziya pota unanagala kwahera muntu yakaweza kumwona Mtuwa.
but may rather be restored. Persistently strive for peace with all men, and for that growth in holiness apart from which no one will 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.
Be carefully on your guard lest there be any one who falls back from the grace of God; lest any root bearing bitter fruit spring up and cause trouble among you, and through it the whole brotherhood be defiled;
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.
lest there be a fornicator, or an ungodly person like Esau, who, in return for a single meal, parted with the birthright which belonged to him.
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.
For you know that even afterwards, when he wished to secure the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no opportunity for undoing what he had done, though he sought the blessing earnestly with tears.
18 Mwenga msokiti ndiri kulugongu lwamuweza kulukola na lwalwakiti motu ama papawera na luwindu dunu na lipuga,
For you have not come to a material object all ablaze with fire, and to gloom and darkness and storm and trumpet-blast and the sound of words--
19 na liziwu lya mbalapi na liziwu lya visoweru. Walii yawapakiniriti liziwu ali waluwiti nawapikanira kayi shisoweru shimonga.
a sound of such a kind that those who heard it entreated that no more should be added.
20 Toziya wadahiti ndiri kuhepelera lilagaliru lyalilaviyitwi, “Ata handa nkanyama pakashinkula lugongu alu, hakagumwi mabuwi mpaka kafuwi.”
For they could not endure the order which had been given, "Even a wild beast, if it touches the mountain, shall be stoned to death;"
21 Goseri aga gawonekaniti gakutiliziya nentu, Musa kalongiti, “Nankutira na kubegema.”
and so terrible was the scene that Moses said, "I tremble with fear."
22 Kumbiti mwenga msoka mulugongu lwa Sayuni, lushi lwa Mlungu yakawera na ukomu, Yerusalemu lwa kumpindi, kwakuweriti wantumintumi wa kumpindi yawawalangikika ndiri, munemeleri.
On the contrary you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the ever-living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to countless hosts 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.
to the great festal gathering and Church of the first-born, whose names are recorded in Heaven, and to a Judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,
24 Msoka kwa Yesu, yomberi ndo mkolaniziya mulipatanu lya syayi, na kwa mwazi gwakuwi gwagumyatiriti kuwera gutakula vitwatira viheri kuliku mwazi gwa Abeli.
and to Jesus the negotiator of a new Covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks in more gracious tones 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!
Be careful not to refuse to listen to Him who is speaking to you. For if they of old did not escape unpunished when they refused to listen to him who spoke on earth, much less shall we escape who turn a deaf ear to Him who now speaks from Heaven.
26 Mushipindi shilii liziwu libegiziyiti isi, kumbiti vinu kalagila, “Hanupabegiziyi pasipanu kayi kwa mala yimonga, pasipanu hera ndiri kumbiti na kumpindi viraa.”
His voice then shook the earth, but now we have His promise, "Yet again I will, once for all, cause not only the earth to tremble, but Heaven also."
27 Visoweru avi “kayi kwa mala yimonga” vyankutulanguziya kuwera vintu vyoseri vyavinyawitwi havibegeziwi na kuwuka su visigali vilii vyavibegiziwa ndiri.
Here the words "Yet again, once for all" denote the removal of the things which can be shaken--created things--in order that the things which cannot be 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,
Therefore, receiving, as we now do, a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us cherish thankfulness so that we may ever offer to God an acceptable service, with godly reverence and awe.
29 toziya Mlungu gwetu nakaka ndo motu gwaguhalibisiya.
For our God is also a consuming fire.
