Bhaebrania 12
1 Ishi piotizyu ugulilwe ni bhango igosi ilya keti titaje kila sheshitutamya peka ni mbibhi zyezihutuzyungura nanali tushimbile husaburi humashinda gegabhi shilwe mwilongolela yitu.
Seeing, therefore, that there is on every side of us such a throng of witnesses, let us also lay aside everything that hinders us, and the sin that clings about us, and run with patient endurance the race that lies before us,
2 Timenye uYesu yahandisizye na amalizye ulwitiho lwitu, huwinza wewubhi hwilwe mwilongolela lyakwe, ahajimbilye munshikhobhekhanyo ahazisufizye insoni zyakwe ahakhiye hunkono ugwalile, pitengo ilyapamwanya ilya Ngulubhi.
our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfect example of our faith, who, for the joy that lay before him, endured the cross, heedless of its shame, and now ‘has taken his seat at the right hand’ of the throne of God.
3 Musiibhanje umwene yahajimbiliye inongwa izyavisye afume hubhabhomba imbabhi ashile umwene yayo aje msahalite nafwe amoyo ginyu.
Weigh well the example of him who had to endure such opposition from ‘people who were sinning against themselves,’ so that you should not grow weary or faint-hearted.
4 Semlabhile na yimbe le mushindana ni mbibhi kiasi shahwitishe idanda.
You have not yet, in your struggle with sin, resisted to the death;
5 Habhili msahiwe hubhapele umwoyo huhubhwatwala huje mlibhana bhishilume: “Mwana wani usahegwe hupupusu amagalushila ga Gosi, habhili usaholowe lwe Ungulubhi ahulinganya.
and you have forgotten the encouraging words which are addressed to you as God’s children – ‘My child, think not lightly of the Lord’s discipline, do not despond when he rebukes you;
6 Pipo Ugosi ahumwela wonti yaganile ahunsovya umwana wakwe yahumposhela.
For it is him whom he loves that he disciplines, and he chastises every child whom he acknowledges.’
7 Jimba injelo ndeshe awelelwe Ungulubhi babhomba namwendeshe shabhomba na bhana bhabhakwe, ishi mwana bhuli ye uyise wakwe saga ahuwela?
It is for your discipline that you have to endure all this. God is dealing with you as his children. For where is there a child whom his father does not discipline?
8 Nkushe nahumo uhwawelwe hwe ati twenti tiwelwa basi amwe saga mulibhanabhakwe.
If you are left without that discipline, in which all children share, it shows that you are bastards, and not true children.
9 Zaidi yipo tali na yise bhitu abha munsi abhahutiwele twabhapiye inshinshi. Je sihwanziwa ati humwitishe uGosi wishimwoyo na akhale?
Further, when our earthly fathers disciplined us, we respected them. Should we not, then, much rather yield submission to the Father of souls, and live?
10 Huhakika ayise bhitu bhatishetile humaha madodo shilolosya hwabhene sheshisho, lakini Ungulubhi ahutisheta hufaida yakwe tibhe nke tibhe bhagolosu.
Our fathers disciplined us for only a short time and as seemed best to them; but God disciplines us for our true good, to enable us to share his holiness.
11 Nahumo ashetwe hwehuleta ashe. Huwakati uwo abhe. Hubhabha. Hata shinisho agigolosu hubhala bhebhamaayizizwe nago.
No discipline is pleasant at the time; on the contrary, it is painful. But afterward its fruit is seen in the peacefulness of a righteous life which is the lot of those who have been trained under it.
12 Isi mubhusye amakhono ginyu gega yetile, na mafugamo ginyu gesagali ni nguvu gabhe ni nguvu habhili;
Therefore ‘lift again the down-dropped hands and straighten the weakened knees;
13 mugolosye injendo zyinyayo zyinyu, ili huje wowonti yali nu nishilema salongozwe huteganu abhe mwumi.
make straight paths for your feet,’ so that the lame limb may not be put out of joint, but rather be cured.
14 Muwanze utenganu na bhantu bhonti nuwo ugolosu bila yuwo ugolosu mumo yayinda Ungulubhi.
Try earnestly to live at peace with everyone, and to attain to that purity without which no one will see the Lord.
15 Mwenyelezyaje asahabhe umuntu wowonti yahwepa mushibanza isha Ngulubhi, huje lisahinze ishina ilyibhu bhuchungu lyelibhamele na sababisye ishida hu bhantu abhinji huneshe Ungulubhi.
Take care that no one fails to use the loving help of God, ‘that no bitterness is allowed to take root and spring up, and cause trouble,’ and so poison the whole community.
16 Mwenye huje nazimo izinaa au umuntu yesegolosu ndeshe u Esau, ye pipo yishalye sheka ahakazizye ihaki yakwe iyapapwe.
Take care that no one becomes immoral, or irreligious like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.
17 Pipo muminye aje shamandi ahanyonywa aoyane insayo ahakhanwa, pipo saga ahapite ifasi iya khomoshe peka nuyise wakwe pope haat nkahanzale hani humansozi.
For you know that even afterward, when he wished to claim his father’s blessing, he was rejected – for he never found an opportunity to repair his error – though he begged for the blessing with tears.
18 Pipo semwahaminye igamba lyelinga khatwa, Igamba lyelihwaha umwoto, alete azilamwe ahavurungwi.
It is not to tangible ‘flaming fire’ that you have drawn near, nor to ‘gloom, and darkness, and storm,
19 Semwahamnye indudwe mizwi lisababisya bhebhahwinvwa bhasahalabhe izwi lyolyonti ayangwe hwa bhene.
and the blast of a trumpet, and an audible voice.’ Those who heard that voice entreated that they might hear no more,
20 Pipo sebhabhweziye agulilile zila zyezyamulilwe: “Huje hata mnyama asahakhate igamba lazima akhomwe na mawe.”
for they could not bear to think of the command – ‘If even an animal touches the mountain, it is to be stoned to death;’
21 Aga hwogofye hani gagalolile uMusa ahajile, “Inogope hani mpaka na yinje”.
and so fearful was the sight that Moses said – ‘I tremble with fear.’
22 Badala yakwe mwinzile mwigamba i Sayuni na mukhaya ya Ngulubhi yalimwumi, i Yerusalemu iya humwanya na hwa bhantumi elfu kumi bhebhaseshelela.
No, but it is to Mount Zion that you have drawn near, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to countless hosts of angels,
23 Mwinzile mwibhunganyo ilya bhapapwe abhahwande bhonti bhebhandi hwilwe humwanya hwa Ngulubhi uhakimu wa bhonti, nu umpepo umfinjile bhasimishiziwilwe.
to the festal gathering and assemblage of God’s firstborn whose names are enrolled in heaven, to God the judge of all people, to the spirits of the righteous who have attained perfection,
24 Mwinzile hwa Yesu unkhomanyiwi ndajizyo ipya na hwidanda yiyitilizizwe yeyiyanga aminza hani kuliko idanda lya Habili.
to Jesus, the intermediary of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that tells of better things than the blood of Abel.
25 Unyenyaje usahankhane weka ya yanga. Nkushe sagabha hepushe lwebhahankhana weka ya bhasuntile pansi ipa lyoli setwaiyepuha nketigulana apatali afume hwula yahutusoha afume humwanya.
Beware how you refuse to hear him who is speaking. For, if the Israelites did not escape punishment, when they refused to listen to him who taught them on earth the divine will, far worse will it be for us, if we turn away from him who is teaching us from heaven.
26 Hu wakati uwo izwi lyake lyayinzizye insi. Lakini umwene atipiye habhili simbayizye nnsi nyeene hata imwanya yope.”
Then his voice shook the earth, but now his declaration is – ‘Still once more I will cause not only the earth to tremble, but also the heavens.’
27 Amazwi inga, “Mara moja habhili,” ilolesya ahwefwe hu vintu vyevinzwa visyale, hivi ni, vitu vile ambavyo vimeumbwa, ili kwamba vile vitu visivyotetemeshwa vibakie.
And those words ‘still once more’ indicate the passing away of all that is shaken – that is, of all created things – in order that only what is unshaken may remain.
28 Ishi tiposhele ubhumwini bhwe saga bhuyizwa tishanje hwi lihumpute Ungulubhi hwa humitishe peka na hwoshe hwisho,
Therefore, let us, who have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken, be thankful, and so offer acceptable worship to God, with awe and the deepest respect.
29 maana Ungulubhi witu moto webhulya.
For our God is ‘a consuming fire.’
