Waebulaniya 4
1 Su lagilu lilii lwa kwingira pahala pakuwi pa kwoyera lyankali, tulikali weri nakawera muntu yoseri yakasinda kwingira mukwoyera aku.
Wherefore, let us be afraid, lest a promise of entrance into the rest, being left, any of you should seem to fall short of it.
2 Toziya Shisoweru Shiwagira shibwerwa kwa twenga ntambu yashibweritwi kwa wantu walii wagona, kumbiti ujumbi yawawupikaniriti uwapananiti ndiri mota yoseri toziya woseri yawawupikaniriti, wawuwankiti ndiri kwa njimiru.
For glad tidings have been proclaimed to us, as well as to them: but the word which they heard did not profit them; not being mixed with faith in them who heard it.
3 Twenga yatujimira kwingira kwoyera aku kwakalagiliti Mlungu. Ntambu yakalagiliti Mlungu, “Nkalariti nulirapa, ‘Hapeni wingiri pahala paneni pakwoyera.’” Mlungu katakuliti aga ata handa lihengu lyakuwi lya kunyawa pasipanu lipeliti.
For we, who have believed, do enter into the rest, as he said, "So, I swore, in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest"; namely, from the works that were finished at the formation of the world.
4 Toziya pahala tunga, Malembu Mananagala gatakulila lishaka lya saba handa, “Mlungu kalekiti mahengu gakuwi goseri, kwoyeriti mulishaka lya saba.”
For he has spoken somewhere concerning the seventh day, thus: "And God rested on the seventh day, from all his works."
5 Na panu shitwatira ashi shitakulwa kayi, “Hapeni wingiri pahala pangu pa kwoyera.”
And in this, again, "They shall not enter into my rest."
6 Ayi ilanguziya kuwera lagila lya kwingira mukwoyera lyankali, toziya walii yawashipikaniriti Shisoweru Shiwagira pakwanja wajimiriti ndiri na wasinditi kwingira.
Since, then, it remains for some to enter into it, and that they who first received the good tidings, did not enter in on account of unbelief:
7 Mlungu katuliti lishaka limonga kayi, lyalishemwa “Leru,” Kalonga shakapanu kwa njira ya Dawudi, visoweru vyawalembiti kala, “Leru handa pampikanira liziwu lya Mlungu, namuwera wakakatala.”
again, he limits a certain day, saying, by David, "To-day," after so long a time; as it is said, "To-day, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts."
8 Handa Yoshuwa mekawapanani wantu awa mwoyeru, su Mlungu mekatakuliri ndiri lishaka limonga.
For, if Joshua has caused them to rest, he would not, after that, have spoken of another day.
9 Su hangu kwankali kwoyera kwa wantu wa Mlungu gambira Mlungu ntambu yakwoyeriti lishaka lya saba.
There remains, therefore, a divine rest for the people of God.
10 Toziya ulii yakingira pahala pa kwoyera pa Mlungu hakaleki lihengu lyakuwi gambira Mlungu viraa ntambu yakalekiti mulihengu lyakuwi na kwoyeriti lishaka lya saba.
For he who has entered into his rest, has himself, also, rested from his own works, like as God, also, rested from his.
11 Su tukamali kwingira mukwoyera amu, su nakawera muntu yoseri pakati petu yakaguwa kwa kulema kumpikinira Mlungu ntambu yawatenditi womberi.
Wherefore let us carefully strive to enter into THIS REST, lest any one should fall after the same example of unbelief.
12 Shisoweru sha Mlungu shiwera na ukomu shiwera na likakala, shana ukola gambira upanga yawukola uwega zoseri mbili. Shipena mpaka mngati mumoyu na rohu, gambira upanga yawukola yawuhanja nakamu mpaka mngati mwa viungiru na ufomboru. Visoweru avi vigubutula nfiru na maholu ga rohu zya wantu.
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged 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 purposes of the heart.
13 Kwahera shiwumbi shoseri shashififikiti kulongolu kwa Mlungu, vyoseri vitulwa paweru kulongolu kwa masu gakuwi, kwakuwi hatutakuli visoweru vyetu vyoseri.
And there is no creature concealed from his sight, for all things are naked and open to the eyes of him, to whom we must give an account.
14 Su tuwera na Mtambika Mkulu yakingiriti mpaka kumpindi kwa Mlungu, ndo Yesu Mwana gwa Mlungu, tugakoli nentu gatulonga.
Now, having a great High Priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
15 Mtambika Mkulu gwetu ayu katuwonera lusungu kwa legulegu yatwenga, toziya yomberi kajeritwi ntambu yatujerwa kumbiti katenditi ndiri vidoda.
For we have not a High Priest who can not sympathize with our weaknesses; but one who was tried in all points, according to the likeness of his nature to our ours, without sin.
16 Su tuweri pakwegera pa shibanta sha ufalumi sha maheri ga Mlungu pota lyoga, twanki lusungu na manemu ga kututanga shipindi sha mafiliru.
Let us, therefore, approach, with boldness, to the throne of favor, that we may receive mercy, and obtain favor for the purpose of seasonable help.
