Waebulaniya 3
1 Su walongu wangu, wantu wa Mlungu yamushemitwi na Mlungu, mumuholi Yesu yakatumitwi na Mlungu kuwera Ntumintumi na Mtambika Mkulu gwa njimiru yeni yatutakula.
So, my brothers and sisters who live for God and who share in this heavenly calling, we need to think carefully about Jesus—the one we say is sent by God, and is the High Priest.
2 Yomberi kaweriti mjimirika kwa Mlungu yakamsyaguliti kutenda lihengu lyakuwi gambira Musa ntambu yakaweriti mjimirika kuwatendera wantu woseri wa Israeli, yawashemitwi numba ya Mlungu.
He was faithful to God in the work he was chosen to do, just like Moses was faithful to God in God's house.
3 Kumbiti Yesu kafiruwa kupananwa ukulu nentu kuliku Musa mana mnyawa numba wampanana ligoya nentu kuliku numba yeni.
But Jesus deserves much greater glory than Moses, in the same way that the builder of a house deserves more credit than the house.
4 Kila numba wayinyawa na muntu tunga, kumbiti Mlungu ndo mnyawa gwa vintu vyoseri.
Every house has its builder; God is the builder of everything.
5 Musa kaweriti mjimirika mnumba yoseri ya Mlungu handa ntumintumi, na kalaviyiti ukapitawu wa vitwatira Mlungu hakavitakuli shakapanu.
As a servant, Moses was faithful in God's house. He provided evidence of what would be announced later.
6 Kumbiti Kristu ndo mjimirika gambira mwana munumba ya Mlungu, twaweni twenga ndo numba yakuwi, handa patulikolerana na ugangamala na kulitumbira vitwatira vyatulitumbira.
But Christ is a son, in charge of God's house. And we are God's house as long as we hold on with confidence to the hope we boast we believe in.
7 Su ntambu Rohu Mnanagala yakalongiti Mumalembu, “Leru handa pampikanira liziwu lya Mlungu,
This is why the Holy Spirit says, “If you hear what God is saying to you today,
8 namtenda myoyu yenu kuwera ikamala mumsindu ntambu yaiwera mushipindi sha majeru kushiwala,
don't have a hard-hearted attitude like the time you rebelled against him, when you tested him in the wilderness.
9 Aku wazewi wenu wanjeriti, tembera wagawoniti matendu gangu
Your fathers put me through it, trying my patience, and they saw the evidence I gave them for forty years.
10 kwa vinja milongu msheshi. Su nushikalaliriti shiyiwuku shawu, na nongiti, kila shipindi maholu gawu gagalambuka, ‘Na wazimaniti ndiri njira zyangu.’
That generation made me angry and so I said, ‘They're always mistaken in what they think, and they don't know me or what I'm doing.’
11 Su nkalaliti, nulirapiti, ‘Hapeni wingiri nakamu pahala paneni pa kwoyera.’”
So in my frustration I vowed, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”
12 Su walongu mulikali weri nakiza yoseri pakati penu yakawera na moyu gudoda na yakajimira ndiri ata kulisega na Mlungu yakawera mkomu.
Brothers and sisters, make sure that none of you has an evil mindset that's given up trusting in the God of life.
13 Kumbiti pamwendereya kushipikinira shisoweru “Leru” pashisomwa Mumalembu Mananagala, mulipanani moyu kila lishaka. Su nakawera yumu gwenu yakatendwa moyu gwakuwi kuwera gukamala kwa kupayirwa na vidoda.
Encourage each other every day while you still have “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and become hard-hearted.
14 Mana twenga twankulikolerana pamuhera mngati mwa Kristu payiwera twankutenda kwa nakaka mpaka upeleru kwa litumbiru lyatuweriti nalu pakwanja.
For we are partners with Christ as long as we hold on to our confidence in God from beginning to end.
15 Malembu galonga hangu, “Leru handa pamupikanira liziwu lya Mlungu, namuwera wakakatala gambira, shipindi shilii sha msindu.”
As Scripture says, “If you hear what God is saying to you today, don't have a hard-hearted attitude like the time you rebelled against him.”
16 Ashina gaa yawapikaniriti liziwu lya Mlungu kumbiti pamuhera na hangu waweriti na msindu? Ndo woseri walii yawalongoziwitwi na Musa kulawa Misri.
Who was it that rebelled against God, even though they heard what he said? Wasn't it all those who were led out of Egypt by Moses?
17 Mlungu kawakalaliriti ashina gaa kwa vinja milongu msheshi? Kawakalaliriti walii yawatenditi vidoda, mawuti gawu ganangika kulii kushiwala.
Who was God upset with for forty years? Wasn't it those who sinned, those who were buried in the desert?
18 Mlungu pakalirapiti kuwera hapeni wingiri pahala pangu pa kwoyera, kaweriti kankuwatakulira ashina gaa? Kaweriti kankuwatakulira walii yawamtendiriti msindu.
Who was God speaking of when he vowed they should not enter into his rest? Wasn't it those who disobeyed him?
19 Su tuwona handa wingira ndiri aku toziya walemiti kujimira.
So we see that they were not able to enter because they didn't trust him.
