Waebulaniya 4
1 Su lagilu lilii lwa kwingira pahala pakuwi pa kwoyera lyankali, tulikali weri nakawera muntu yoseri yakasinda kwingira mukwoyera aku.
Therefore let us be on our guard lest perhaps, while He still leaves us a promise of being admitted to His rest, some one of you should be found to have fallen 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 Good News has been brought to us as truly as to them; but the message they heard failed to benefit them, because they were not one in faith with those who gave heed to 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.
We who have believed are soon to be admitted to the true rest; as He has said, "As I swore in My anger, they shall not be admitted to My rest," although God's works had been going on ever since the creation of the world.
4 Toziya pahala tunga, Malembu Mananagala gatakulila lishaka lya saba handa, “Mlungu kalekiti mahengu gakuwi goseri, kwoyeriti mulishaka lya saba.”
For, as we know, when speaking of the seventh day He has used the words, "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 He has also declared, "They shall not be admitted to 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 is still true that some will be admitted to that rest, and that because of disobedience those who formerly had Good News proclaimed to them were not admitted,
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.”
He again definitely mentions a certain day, "To-day," saying long afterwards, by David's lips, in the words already quoted, "To-day, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts."
8 Handa Yoshuwa mekawapanani wantu awa mwoyeru, su Mlungu mekatakuliri ndiri lishaka limonga.
For if Joshua had given them the true rest, we should not afterwards hear God speaking of another still future day.
9 Su hangu kwankali kwoyera kwa wantu wa Mlungu gambira Mlungu ntambu yakwoyeriti lishaka lya saba.
It follows that there still remains a sabbath 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 been admitted to His rest, has rested from His works as God did from His.
11 Su tukamali kwingira mukwoyera amu, su nakawera muntu yoseri pakati petu yakaguwa kwa kulema kumpikinira Mlungu ntambu yawatenditi womberi.
Let it then be our earnest endeavour to be admitted to that rest, so that no one may perish through following 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 God's Message is full of life and power, and is keener than the sharpest two-edged sword. It pierces even to the severance of soul from spirit, and penetrates between the joints and the marrow, and it can discern the secret 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 no created thing is able to escape its scrutiny; but everything lies bare and completely exposed before the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
14 Su tuwera na Mtambika Mkulu yakingiriti mpaka kumpindi kwa Mlungu, ndo Yesu Mwana gwa Mlungu, tugakoli nentu gatulonga.
Inasmuch, then, as we have in Jesus, the Son of God, a great High Priest who has passed into Heaven itself, let us hold firmly to our profession of faith.
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 is unable to feel for us in our weaknesses, but one who was tempted in every respect just as we are tempted, and yet did not sin.
16 Su tuweri pakwegera pa shibanta sha ufalumi sha maheri ga Mlungu pota lyoga, twanki lusungu na manemu ga kututanga shipindi sha mafiliru.
Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our times of need.
