VaHebheru 3
1 Naizvozvo, hama tsvene, vagovani neni pakudanwa kunobva kudenga, isai pfungwa dzenyu pana Jesu, Mupostori nomuprista mukuru uyo watinopupura nezvake.
Therefore, holy brethren, sharers with others in a heavenly invitation, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest whose followers we profess to be.
2 Akanga akatendeka kuna iye akamugadza, saMozisi akanga akatendeka muimba yose yaMwari.
How faithful He was to Him who appointed Him, just as Moses also 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, in so far as he who has built a house has higher honour than the house itself.
4 Nokuti imba imwe neimwe inovakwa nomunhu, asi Mwari ndiye muvaki wezvinhu zvose.
For every house has had a builder, and the builder of all things is God.
5 Mozisi akanga akatendeka somuranda muimba yose yaMwari, achipupura pamusoro pezvaizotaurwa munguva yaizotevera.
Moreover, Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant in delivering the message given him to speak;
6 Asi Kristu akatendeka somwanakomana pamusoro peimba yaMwari. Uye isu tiri imba yake, kana tikabatisisa pakushinga kwedu netariro yatinozvirumbidza pamusoro payo.
but Christ was faithful as a Son having authority over God's house, and we are that house, if we hold firm to the End the boldness and the hope which we boast of as ours.
7 Naizvozvo, sezvinotaura Mweya Mutsvene achiti: “Nhasi, kana muchinzwa inzwi rake,
For this reason--as the Holy Spirit warns us, "To-day, if you hear His voice,
8 musaomesa mwoyo yenyu sezvamakaita panguva dzokumukira, panguva yokuedzwa murenje,
do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time of the provocation on the day of the temptation in the Desert,
9 mandakaedzwa namadzibaba enyu uye kwamakore makumi mana vakaona zvandakaita.
where your forefathers so sorely tried My patience and saw all that I did during forty years.
10 Ndokusaka ndakatsamwira rudzi irworwo, uye ndikati, ‘Mwoyo yavo inogara ichitsauka, havana kuziva nzira dzangu.’
Therefore I was greatly grieved with that generation, and I said, 'They are ever going astray in heart, and have not learnt to know My paths.'
11 “Naizvozvo ndakapika mhiko pakutsamwa kwangu ndikati, “‘Havangazopindi pazororo rangu.’”
As I swore in My anger, they shall not be admitted to My rest" --
12 Hama dzangu, chenjererai kuti pakati penyu pasava nomunhu ano mwoyo usingatendi, une zvivi, unotsauka kubva kuna Mwari mupenyu.
see to it, brethren, that there is never in any one of you--as perhaps there may be--a sinful and unbelieving heart, manifesting itself in revolt from the ever-living God.
13 Asi simbisanai zuva rimwe nerimwe, kana kuchinzi Nhasi, kuitira kuti kusava nomumwe wenyu anoomeswa nokunyengera kwezvivi.
On the contrary encourage one another, day after day, so long as To-day lasts, so that not one of you may be hardened through the deceitful character of sin.
14 Takauya kuzogovana muna Kristu kana tichibatisisa kuvamba kwokutenda kwedu kusvikira pakuguma.
For we have, all alike, become sharers with Christ, if we really hold our first confidence firm to the End;
15 Sezvazvakataurwa zvichinzi: “Nhasi, kana muchinzwa inzwi rake, musaomesa mwoyo yenyu sezvamakaita panguva dzokumukira.”
seeing that the warning still comes to us, "To-day, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time of the provocation."
16 Ndivanaaniko vakanzwa uye vakamukira? Havazivo here vaya vose vakatungamirirwa naMozisi pakubuda muIjipiti?
For who were they that heard, and yet provoked God? Was it not the whole of the people who had come out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses?
17 Uye ndivanaaniko vaakatsamwira kwamakore makumi mana? Havazivo here vaya vakatadza, vane mitumbi yakawira murenje?
And with whom was God so greatly grieved for forty years? Was it not with those who had sinned, and whose dead bodies fell in the Desert?
18 Uye ndivanaaniko vakapikirwa mhiko naMwari kuti havangapindi muzororo rake kana vasiri ivo vaya vasina kuteerera?
And to whom did He swear that they should not be admitted to His rest, if it was not to those who were disobedient?
19 Saka tinoona kuti havana kukwanisa kupinda, nokuda kwokusatenda kwavo.
And so we see that it was owing to lack of faith that they could not be admitted.
