VaHebheru 3
1 Naizvozvo, hama tsvene, vagovani neni pakudanwa kunobva kudenga, isai pfungwa dzenyu pana Jesu, Mupostori nomuprista mukuru uyo watinopupura nezvake.
Whence, holy brethren, partners, in a heavenly calling, attentively consider the Apostle and High—priest of our confession—Jesus
2 Akanga akatendeka kuna iye akamugadza, saMozisi akanga akatendeka muimba yose yaMwari.
As one, faithful, to him who made him: as, Moses also, in [all] his house.
3 Jesu akaonekwa kuti akafanira kukudzwa kupfuura Mozisi, somuvaki weimba anokudzwa kupfuura imba yacho.
For, of more glory than Moses, hath, this one been counted worthy—by as much as more honour than, the house, hath, he that prepared it;
4 Nokuti imba imwe neimwe inovakwa nomunhu, asi Mwari ndiye muvaki wezvinhu zvose.
For, every house, is prepared by someone, —but, he that hath prepared all things, is, God.
5 Mozisi akanga akatendeka somuranda muimba yose yaMwari, achipupura pamusoro pezvaizotaurwa munguva yaizotevera.
Even Moses, indeed, was faithful in all his house, as an attendant, for a witness of the things which were to be spoken;
6 Asi Kristu akatendeka somwanakomana pamusoro peimba yaMwari. Uye isu tiri imba yake, kana tikabatisisa pakushinga kwedu netariro yatinozvirumbidza pamusoro payo.
But, Christ, as, a Son, over his house, —whose house are, we, —if, the freedom of speech and boast of the hope, [throughout, firm, ] we hold fast.
7 Naizvozvo, sezvinotaura Mweya Mutsvene achiti: “Nhasi, kana muchinzwa inzwi rake,
Wherefore, —according as saith the Holy Spirit—To-day, if, unto his voice ye would hearken, do not
8 musaomesa mwoyo yenyu sezvamakaita panguva dzokumukira, panguva yokuedzwa murenje,
harden your hearts, —as in the embitterment, in the day of testing in the desert,
9 mandakaedzwa namadzibaba enyu uye kwamakore makumi mana vakaona zvandakaita.
When your fathers tested by proving, and saw my works forty years.
10 Ndokusaka ndakatsamwira rudzi irworwo, uye ndikati, ‘Mwoyo yavo inogara ichitsauka, havana kuziva nzira dzangu.’
Wherefore I was sore vexed with this generation, and said, Always err they in their heart; —howbeit, they, learned not my ways:
11 “Naizvozvo ndakapika mhiko pakutsamwa kwangu ndikati, “‘Havangazopindi pazororo rangu.’”
So I sware in mine anger—they shall not enter into my rest!—
12 Hama dzangu, chenjererai kuti pakati penyu pasava nomunhu ano mwoyo usingatendi, une zvivi, unotsauka kubva kuna Mwari mupenyu.
Be taking heed, brethren, lest at any time, there shall be in any one of you, a wicked heart of unbelief, in revolting from a Living God.
13 Asi simbisanai zuva rimwe nerimwe, kana kuchinzi Nhasi, kuitira kuti kusava nomumwe wenyu anoomeswa nokunyengera kwezvivi.
But be exhorting one another, on each successive day, —while the To-day is being named! lest any from among you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
14 Takauya kuzogovana muna Kristu kana tichibatisisa kuvamba kwokutenda kwedu kusvikira pakuguma.
For, partners of the Christ, have we become, —if, at least, the beginning of the confidence, throughout, firm, we hold fast:
15 Sezvazvakataurwa zvichinzi: “Nhasi, kana muchinzwa inzwi rake, musaomesa mwoyo yenyu sezvamakaita panguva dzokumukira.”
So long as it is said—To-day, if, unto his voice, ye would hearken, do not harden your hearts, —as in the embitterment.
16 Ndivanaaniko vakanzwa uye vakamukira? Havazivo here vaya vose vakatungamirirwa naMozisi pakubuda muIjipiti?
For, who, though they heard, caused embitterment? Nay, indeed! did not all who come forth out of Egypt through Moses?
17 Uye ndivanaaniko vaakatsamwira kwamakore makumi mana? Havazivo here vaya vakatadza, vane mitumbi yakawira murenje?
But, with whom, was be sore vexed forty years? Was it not with them who sinned, whose dead bodies fell in the desert?
18 Uye ndivanaaniko vakapikirwa mhiko naMwari kuti havangapindi muzororo rake kana vasiri ivo vaya vasina kuteerera?
But, unto whom, sware he, that they should not enter into his rest, —save unto them who were obstinate?
19 Saka tinoona kuti havana kukwanisa kupinda, nokuda kwokusatenda kwavo.
And we see, that they were not able to enter, because of unbelief.
