VaHebheru 4
1 Naizvozvo, sezvo chipikirwa chokupinda muzororo rake chichiripo, ngatichenjerei kuti kurege kuva nomumwe wenyu angatadza kusvikako.
Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.
2 Nokuti nesuwo takanzwa vhangeri richiparidzwa kwatiri, saivo; asi shoko ravakanzwa harina kuvabatsira, nokuti ivo vakarinzwa havana kuribatanidza nokutenda.
For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faith by those who heard.
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 we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 Nokuti pane imwe nzvimbo akataura mashoko aya pamusoro pezuva rechinomwe. “Zvino pazuva rechinomwe Mwari akazorora kubva pabasa rake rose.”
For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works;”
5 Uyezve mundima iri pamusoro anoti, “Havazopindi muzororo rangu.”
and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”
6 Ichokwadi kuti vamwe vachapinda muzororo iroro, uye vaya vakatanga kuparidzirwa vhangeri kare havana kupinda, nokuda kwokusateerera kwavo.
Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good news was preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,
7 Naizvozvo Mwari akaisazve rimwe zuva rinonzi Nhasi, paakataura kare kubudikidza naDhavhidhi, sezvazvakataurwa pakutanga zvichinzi: “Nhasi, kana muchinzwa inzwi rake, musaomesa mwoyo yenyu.”
he again defines a certain day, “today”, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts.”
8 Nokuti dai Joshua akanga avapa zororo, Mwari angadai asina kuzotaurazve nezverimwe zuva.
For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
9 Naizvozvo richiripo, zororo reSabata ravanhu vaMwari;
There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
10 nokuti ani naani anopinda muzororo raMwari anozororawo pabasa rake, sezvakaita Mwari pane rake.
For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
11 Naizvozvo ngatishingairirei kuti tipinde muzororo iro, kuitira kuti pashayikwe achawa nokuda kwokutevera muenzaniso wavo wokusateerera.
Let’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
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 active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
13 Hakuna chisikwa chakavanzika pamberi paMwari. Zvinhu zvose zviri pachena uye zvakafukurwa pameso aiye watinofanira kuzvidavirira kwaari.
There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.
14 Naizvozvo, zvatino muprista mukuru kwazvo, akapinda napakati pamatenga, Jesu Mwanakomana waMwari, ngatibatisisei kutenda kwatinopupura.
Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Yeshua, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.
15 Nokuti hatina muprista mukuru asingagoni kutinzwira tsitsi pautera hwedu, asi tinaye akaedzwa pazvinhu zvose, sesu, asi asina chivi.
For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
16 Ngatiswederei tisingatyi pachigaro choushe chenyasha, kuitira kuti tigogamuchira ngoni uye tigowana nyasha, tibatsirwe panguva yokushayiwa.
Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.
