VaHebheru 4

1 Naizvozvo, sezvo chipikirwa chokupinda muzororo rake chichiripo, ngatichenjerei kuti kurege kuva nomumwe wenyu angatadza kusvikako.

Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

2 Nokuti nesuwo takanzwa vhangeri richiparidzwa kwatiri, saivo; asi shoko ravakanzwa harina kuvabatsira, nokuti ivo vakarinzwa havana kuribatanidza nokutenda.

And, truly, the good news came to us, even as it did to them; but the hearing of the word did them no good, because they were not united in faith with the true hearers.

3 Zvino isu tinotenda tinopinda muzororo iroro, sezvakareva Mwari achiti, “Naizvozvo ndakapika mhiko mukutsamwa kwangu, kuti, ‘Havazopindi muzororo rangu.’” Uye kunyange zvakadaro basa rake akapedza kubva pakusikwa kwenyika.

For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

4 Nokuti pane imwe nzvimbo akataura mashoko aya pamusoro pezuva rechinomwe. “Zvino pazuva rechinomwe Mwari akazorora kubva pabasa rake rose.”

For in one place he has said of the seventh day, And God had rest from all his works on the seventh day;

5 Uyezve mundima iri pamusoro anoti, “Havazopindi muzororo rangu.”

And in the same place he says again, They will not come into my rest.

6 Ichokwadi kuti vamwe vachapinda muzororo iroro, uye vaya vakatanga kuparidzirwa vhangeri kare havana kupinda, nokuda kwokusateerera kwavo.

So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders,

7 Naizvozvo Mwari akaisazve rimwe zuva rinonzi Nhasi, paakataura kare kubudikidza naDhavhidhi, sezvazvakataurwa pakutanga zvichinzi: “Nhasi, kana muchinzwa inzwi rake, musaomesa mwoyo yenyu.”

After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart,

8 Nokuti dai Joshua akanga avapa zororo, Mwari angadai asina kuzotaurazve nezverimwe zuva.

For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have said anything about another day.

9 Naizvozvo richiripo, zororo reSabata ravanhu vaMwari;

So that there is still a Sabbath-keeping for the people of God.

10 nokuti ani naani anopinda muzororo raMwari anozororawo pabasa rake, sezvakaita Mwari pane rake.

For the man who comes into his rest has had rest from his works, as God did from his.

11 Naizvozvo ngatishingairirei kuti tipinde muzororo iro, kuitira kuti pashayikwe achawa nokuda kwokutevera muenzaniso wavo wokusateerera.

Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.

12 Nokuti shoko raMwari ibenyu uye rine simba. Rinopinza kukunda munondo unocheka kumativi maviri, rinobaya kunyange kusvikira panoparadzana mwoyo nomweya, namafundo nomongo; rinotonga mifungo nendangariro dzomwoyo.

For the word of God is living and full of power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through and making a division even of the soul and the spirit, the bones and the muscles, and quick to see the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

13 Hakuna chisikwa chakavanzika pamberi paMwari. Zvinhu zvose zviri pachena uye zvakafukurwa pameso aiye watinofanira kuzvidavirira kwaari.

And there is nothing made which is not completely clear to him; there is nothing covered, but all things are open to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

14 Naizvozvo, zvatino muprista mukuru kwazvo, akapinda napakati pamatenga, Jesu Mwanakomana waMwari, ngatibatisisei kutenda kwatinopupura.

Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.

15 Nokuti hatina muprista mukuru asingagoni kutinzwira tsitsi pautera hwedu, asi tinaye akaedzwa pazvinhu zvose, sesu, asi asina chivi.

For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.

16 Ngatiswederei tisingatyi pachigaro choushe chenyasha, kuitira kuti tigogamuchira ngoni uye tigowana nyasha, tibatsirwe panguva yokushayiwa.

Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.
