< VaHebheru 2 >
1 Saka tinofanira kuteerera zvikuru, izvo zvatakanzwa, kuitira kuti tirege kutsauka.
THEREFORE we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 Nokuti kana shoko rakataurwa navatumwa rakanga rakasimba, uye kana kudarika nokusateerera kwose kwakapiwa chirango chakafanira,
For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
3 ko, isu tichapunyuka sei kana tisina hanya noruponeso rwakakura zvakadai? Ruponeso urwu rwakatanga kuziviswa naIshe, rwakasimbiswa kwatiri naavo vakamunzwa.
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
4 Mwariwo akarupupurira nezviratidzo, zvishamiso, mabasa esimba akasiyana-siyana, uye nezvipo zvoMweya Mutsvene nokuda kwake.
God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
5 Hapazi pasi pavatumwa pakaiswa nyika inouya, yatiri kutaura nezvayo.
For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 Asi mumwe akapupura kwazvo pane imwe nzvimbo achiti: “Ko, munhu chii zvamunomufunga, kana mwanakomana womunhu zvamune hanya naye?
But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
7 Makamuita muduku zvishoma kuvatumwa; makamushongedza korona yokubwinya nokukudzwa
Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
8 uye mukaisa zvinhu zvose pasi petsoka dzake.” Pakuisa zvinhu zvose pasi pake, Mwari haana kusiya chinhu chimwe chete chisina kuiswa pasi pake. Asi panguva ino hationi zvinhu zvose zvakaiswa pasi pake.
Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
9 Asi tinoona Jesu, akaitwa muduku zvishoma kuvatumwa, zvino ashongedzwa korona yokubwinya nokukudzwa nokuti akatambudzika murufu, kuitira kuti nenyasha dzaMwari anzwe rufu nokuda kwavose.
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10 Mukuuyisa vanakomana vazhinji pakubwinya, zvakanga zvakafanira kuti Mwari iye akaitirwa zvinhu zvose uye akaita kuti zvinhu zvose zvivepo, aite muvambi woruponeso rwazvo rwakakwana nenzira yokutambudzika.
For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
11 Vose, iye anoita kuti vanhu vave vatsvene uye avo vanoitwa vatsvene ndevemhuri imwe chete. Saka Jesu haana nyadzi kuti avaidze hama.
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Anoti, “Ndichaparidza zita renyu kuhama dzangu; pamberi peungano ndichaimba nziyo dzokukurumbidzai.”
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
13 Uyezve anoti, “Ndichavimba naye.” Uyezve anoti, “Ndiri pano, navana vandakapiwa naMwari.”
And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
14 Sezvo vana vane ropa nenyama, naiyewo akagovana navo pakuva nyama kwavo, kuitira kuti rufu rwake ruparadze iye ane simba rorufu, iye dhiabhori
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 uye agosunungura vaya vakanga vakasungwa muuranda upenyu hwavo hwose nokutya kwavo rufu.
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 Nokuti zvirokwazvo havasi vatumwa vaakabatsira, asi zvizvarwa zvaAbhurahama.
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17 Nokuda kwemhaka iyi aifanira kuitwa sehama dzake munzira yose, kuitira kuti agova muprista mukuru ane tsitsi uye akatendeka muushumiri kuna Mwari, uye kuti ayananise vanhu nokuda kwezvivi zvavo.
Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 Nokuti iye amene akatambudzika paakaedzwa, anokwanisa kubatsira vanoedzwa.
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
