VaHebheru 3
1 Naizvozvo, hama tsvene, vagovani neni pakudanwa kunobva kudenga, isai pfungwa dzenyu pana Jesu, Mupostori nomuprista mukuru uyo watinopupura nezvake.
Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
2 Akanga akatendeka kuna iye akamugadza, saMozisi akanga akatendeka muimba yose yaMwari.
He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.
3 Jesu akaonekwa kuti akafanira kukudzwa kupfuura Mozisi, somuvaki weimba anokudzwa kupfuura imba yacho.
For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
4 Nokuti imba imwe neimwe inovakwa nomunhu, asi Mwari ndiye muvaki wezvinhu zvose.
And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
5 Mozisi akanga akatendeka somuranda muimba yose yaMwari, achipupura pamusoro pezvaizotaurwa munguva yaizotevera.
Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.
6 Asi Kristu akatendeka somwanakomana pamusoro peimba yaMwari. Uye isu tiri imba yake, kana tikabatisisa pakushinga kwedu netariro yatinozvirumbidza pamusoro payo.
But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.
7 Naizvozvo, sezvinotaura Mweya Mutsvene achiti: “Nhasi, kana muchinzwa inzwi rake,
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,
8 musaomesa mwoyo yenyu sezvamakaita panguva dzokumukira, panguva yokuedzwa murenje,
do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,
9 mandakaedzwa namadzibaba enyu uye kwamakore makumi mana vakaona zvandakaita.
where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.
10 Ndokusaka ndakatsamwira rudzi irworwo, uye ndikati, ‘Mwoyo yavo inogara ichitsauka, havana kuziva nzira dzangu.’
Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’
11 “Naizvozvo ndakapika mhiko pakutsamwa kwangu ndikati, “‘Havangazopindi pazororo rangu.’”
So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”
12 Hama dzangu, chenjererai kuti pakati penyu pasava nomunhu ano mwoyo usingatendi, une zvivi, unotsauka kubva kuna Mwari mupenyu.
See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.
13 Asi simbisanai zuva rimwe nerimwe, kana kuchinzi Nhasi, kuitira kuti kusava nomumwe wenyu anoomeswa nokunyengera kwezvivi.
But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
14 Takauya kuzogovana muna Kristu kana tichibatisisa kuvamba kwokutenda kwedu kusvikira pakuguma.
We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.
15 Sezvazvakataurwa zvichinzi: “Nhasi, kana muchinzwa inzwi rake, musaomesa mwoyo yenyu sezvamakaita panguva dzokumukira.”
As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”
16 Ndivanaaniko vakanzwa uye vakamukira? Havazivo here vaya vose vakatungamirirwa naMozisi pakubuda muIjipiti?
For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
17 Uye ndivanaaniko vaakatsamwira kwamakore makumi mana? Havazivo here vaya vakatadza, vane mitumbi yakawira murenje?
And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
18 Uye ndivanaaniko vakapikirwa mhiko naMwari kuti havangapindi muzororo rake kana vasiri ivo vaya vasina kuteerera?
And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?
19 Saka tinoona kuti havana kukwanisa kupinda, nokuda kwokusatenda kwavo.
So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.
