Bahebera 3
1 Jalo he, bakaulengwe ba Modimo o lo itlhaoletseng, lona ba lo tlhophetsweng legodimo, ke batla gore jaanong lo akanye ka Jesu yo, yo e leng Morongwa wa Modimo ebile e le Moperesiti yo Mogolo wa tumelo ya rona.
For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith;
2 Gonne Jesu o ne a ikanyega mo Modimong o o mo tlhophileng go nna Moperesiti yo Mogolo, fela jaaka Moshe le ene a ne a dira mo tlung ya Modimo ka go ikanyega.
Who kept faith with God who gave him his place, even as Moses did in all his house.
3 Mme Jesu o na le kgalalelo e kgolo go gaisa Moshe, fela jaaka motho yo o agang ntlo e ntle a galalediwa thata go gaisa jaaka ntlo ya gagwe e galalediwa.
And it was right for this man to have more honour than Moses, even as the builder of a house has more honour than the house.
4 Le batho ba le bantsi ba ka aga matlo, mme Modimo ke One fela o o dirileng dilo tsotlhe.
For every house has a builder; but the builder of all things is God.
5 Legale, Moshe o dirile tiro e ntle a dira mo tlung ya Modimo, mme o ne a le motlhanka fela; le tiro ya gagwe e ne e le ya go supa thata le go bolela dilo tse di neng di tlaa diragala kwa morago.
And Moses certainly kept faith as a servant, in all his house, and as a witness of those things which were to be said later;
6 Mme Keresete, Morwa Modimo yo o ikanyegang, ke motlhokomedi yo o feletseng tota wa ntlo ya Modimo. Mme rona Bakeresete re ntlo ya Modimo, o nna mo go rona! Fa re tshegetsa bopelokgale jwa rona go ya bokhutlong le boitumelo jwa rona le boikanyo mo Moreneng.
But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end.
7 Mme ere ka Keresete a le mogolo thata, Mowa O O Boitshepo o re tlhagisa go mo reetsa, go ela tlhoko go utlwa lentswe la gagwe gompieno, le go itsa dipelo tsa rona go nna kgatlhanong nae, jaaka bana ba Iseraele ba ne ba dira. Ba ne ba ithatafatsa dipelo go nna kgatlhanong le lorato lwa one ba bo ba o ngongoregela mo sekakeng a santse a ba leka.
And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears,
Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land,
9 Mme Modimo o ne wa nna pelotelele mo go bone ka dingwaga di le masome a le mane, le fa ba ne ba leka bopelotelele jwa one mo go utlwisang botlhoko; o ne wa nna wa ba direla dikgakgamatso tse di kgolo gore ba bone.
When your fathers put me to the test, and saw my works for forty years.
10 Mme Modimo wa re, “Ke ne ke ba gakaletse thata, gonne dipelo tsa bone di ne di aga di lebile go sele mo boemong jwa gore di lebe kwa go nna, le gone ga ba ise ba ke ba bone ditsela tse ke neng ke batla ba tsamaya ka tsone.”
So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways;
11 Mme Modimo wa ba gakalela, wa ikana gore ga o kitla o ba leseletsa go tla kwa lefelong la one la boikhutso.
And being angry I made an oath, saying, They may not come into my rest.
12 Ke gone tlhokomelang dipelo tsa lona, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, e se re kgotsa lwa fitlhela gore le tsone di bosula ebile ga di dumele di lo gogela kgakala le Modimo o o tshelang.
My brothers, take care that there is not by chance in any one of you an evil heart without belief, turning away from the living God:
13 Buisa-nyang ka dilo tse malatsi otlhe nako e santse e lo atlegetse, gore le fa e le ope wa lona a seka a thatafalela Modimo, a foufaditswe ke tsietso ya sebe.
But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin:
14 Gonne fa re ikanyega go ya bokhutlong, re ikanya Modimo fela jaaka re ne ra dira fa re simolola go nna Bakeresete, re tlaa nna le seabe mo go tsotlhe tse e leng tsa ga Keresete.
For if we keep the substance of the faith which we had at the start, even till the end, we have a part with Christ;
15 Mme jaanong ke nako. Lo seka lwa ba lwa lebala tlhagiso e e reng, “Fa lo utlwa lentswe la Modimo gompieno le bua le lona, se o thatafaletseng dipelo tsa lona jaaka bana ba Iseraele ba ne ba dira fa ba o tsogologela mo sekakeng.”
As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry.
16 Mme e ne e le bomang batho ba ke buang ka bone, ba ba neng ba utlwa lentswe la Modimo le bua le bone mme ba otsogologela? Ke ba ba neng ba tswa kwa Egepeto ba eteletswe pele ke Moshe.
Who made him angry when his voice came to them? was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses?
17 Mme e ne e le mang yo o neng a gakatsa Modimo mo dingwageng tsele tsotlhe tse di masome a le mane? E ne e le bone batho ba, ba ba neng ba leofa mme ka ntlha ya go leofa ba swela mo sekakeng.
And with whom was he angry for forty years? was it not with those who did evil, who came to their deaths in the waste land?
18 Mme Modimo o ne o bua le mang fa o ikana o re ga ba kitla ba tsena mo lefatsheng le o le solofeditseng batho ba one? O ne o bua le botlhe ba ba neng ba sa o utlwe.
And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders?
19 Gape ke eng fa ba ne ba sa tsene? Ke ka ntlha ya gore ba ne ba sa o ikanye.
So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief.
