Bhaebrania 8
1 Eshi nongwa zyatiyanga zya zyezi: tilinawo odimi ogosi yakheyepansi huuchoolelo owa itengo elyeenzi mwanya.
To sum up what I have been saying: Such is the high priest that we have, one who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God’s Majesty in heaven,
2 Emwene dimo wadimiatakatifu, emputilo eyeloli ambaogosi abheshele siumnte wawonti ya mfwa.
where he serves in the sanctuary, in that true tent set up by the Lord and not by man.
3 Shila dimi ogosi abhewha afumie ezawadi ne dhabihu; kwa hiyo shinza abhenahantu ahafumie.
Every high priest is appointed for the purpose of offering gifts and sacrifices to God; it follows, therefore, that this high priest must have some offering to make.
4 Eshi nkashele oKristi alipa mwanya pansi amwene nanda sagali dimi lwesho. Afwataneje bhalitayalibhwala fumizye, evipawa alengane nendapizyo.
If he were, however, still on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there are already priests who offer the gifts as the Law directs.
5 Bhabhombile ahantu hahalu hasageye vintu evyamwanya swa nashi oMusa nakhajilwaga no Ngolobhe. “Lula,” Ongolobhe ayanjile, “shila hantu alengane neshilenga nyizyo shohalangwile pamwanya pigamba.”
(These priests, it is true, are engaged in a service which is only a copy and shadow of the heavenly realities, as is shown by the directions given to Moses when he was about to construct the tent. ‘Look to it,’ are the words, ‘that you make every part in accordance with the pattern shown you on the mountain.’)
6 Lelo eshi oKristi aposheye embombo enyinza tee afatanaje umwene nantele yalenganya wegano enyiza, lyalilenganyiziwe elenguvu enyinza.
But Jesus, as we see, has obtained a ministry as far excelling theirs, as the covenant of which he is the intermediary, based, as it is, on better promises, excels the former covenant.
7 Heshi nkashele olagano olwa whande handa selwali namakosa handa setali ne haja ahwanze ilagano elyabhele.
If that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second.
8 Afwatanaje Ongolobhe nagahama manya amakosa agabhantu ayanjile, “Enya, ensiku zihwenza ayanga oGosi, 'owakati embalenganye ilagano ipya pandwemo ne nyumba ya Israeli, ne nyumba iya Yuda.
But, finding fault with the people, God says – ‘“A time is coming,” says the Lord, “When I will ratify a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah –
9 Sagalibhabhe nashi ilagano lyalyabhombeshe pandemo na bababhabho isikunehabhejile humakhono abhalongozye afume hunsi ya Misri. Afataneje sebhahendeleye hwilagano lyane, nanesenabhasajile nantele ayanga oGosi.
Not such a covenant as I made with their ancestors on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not abide by their covenant with me, and therefore I disregarded them,” says the Lord.
10 Afwateje eli lilagano embalibhombe hunyumba eya Israeli hunsiku ezi,' ayanga Ogosi. 'emabheshe endajizyo zyane hunsebho zyabho, embasimbe humo yogabho embabhe Ngolobhe wao, bhape bhabhe bhantu bhane.
“This is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel after those days,” says the Lord. “I will impress my laws on their minds, and will inscribe them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.
11 Sebhabhamanyizanye kila mntu no jilani wakwe, na kila mntu noholo wakwe, nkayanjile, “Mmanyaje aje yo Gosi, “bhonti bhabhamanyeane ahwande umwana hadi ogasiwao.
There will be no need for anyone to instruct their fellow citizen, or for a person to say to their relatives ‘Learn to know the Lord’; for everyone will know me, from the lowest to the highest.
12 Embalanje ulusajilo humbombo zyabho zyashelesezyi haki, nasembazizushe embibhi zyabho nantele.”
For I will be merciful to their wrongdoings, and I will no longer remember their sins.”’
13 Senayanga “Mpya,” abhombile ilagano elyahwande abhe ligosi ligosi. Na elyo lyalitangazizye abheligosi ligosi lisageye hashe asogole.
By speaking of a new covenant, God at once renders the former covenant obsolete; and whatever becomes obsolete and loses its force is virtually annulled.
