VaHebheru 1
1 Kare, Mwari akataura kumadzitateguru edu kubudikidza navaprofita panguva zhinji, uye nenzira dzakasiyana-siyana,
God, who at many times and in many ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,
2 asi mumazuva ano okupedzisira akataura kwatiri nomuMwanakomana wake, waakaita mudyi wenhaka yezvinhu zvose, uye naiyewo waakaita naye nyika. (aiōn g165)
Hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)
3 Mwanakomana ndiye chadzera chokubwinya kwaMwari uye ndiye mufananidzo wake chaiwo, anochengeta zvinhu zvose neshoko rake rine simba. Mushure mokunge apedza kunatswa kwezvivi, akagara kurudyi rwamambo kudenga.
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 Saka akava mukuru kupfuura vatumwa sezvo zita raakapiwa nhaka yaro rakanyanya kunaka kupfuura ravo.
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 Nokuti ndoupi pakati pavatumwa, Mwari waakamboti kwaari: “Ndiwe Mwanakomana wangu; nhasi ndava baba vako?” kana kutizve, “Ndichava Baba vake, naiye achava Mwanakomana wangu?”
For to which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 Uyezve, Mwari paanouyisa dangwe rake munyika, anoti: “Vatumwa vose vaMwari ngavamunamate.”
And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 Achitaura pamusoro pavatumwa anoti, “Anoita vatumwa vake mhepo, varanda vake mirazvo yomoto.”
And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 Asi pamusoro poMwanakomana anoti, “Chigaro chenyu choushe, imi Mwari, chichagara nokusingaperi-peri, uye kururama kuchava tsvimbo youshe hwenyu. (aiōn g165)
But to the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 Makada kururama uye mukavenga kusarurama; naizvozvo Mwari, Mwari wenyu, akakuisai pamusoro peshamwari dzenyu nokukuzodzai namafuta okufara.”
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.
10 Anotizve, “Pakutanga, imi Ishe, makateya nheyo dzenyika, uye matenga ndiwo basa ramaoko enyu.
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thy hands:
11 Zvichaparara, asi imi mucharamba muripo; zvichasakara zvose senguo.
They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall become old as doth a garment;
12 Muchazvipeta sejasi; senguo zvichashandurwa. Asi imi munoramba makadaro, uye makore enyu haatozogumi.”
And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 Ndoupi pakati pavatumwa akambonzi naMwari: “Gara kurudyi rwangu kusvikira ndaita vavengi vako chitsiko chetsoka dzako?”
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
14 Ko, vatumwa vose havasi mweya inoshumira yakatumwa kuzobatsira vaya vachadya nhaka yoruponeso here?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall inherit salvation?
