VaHebheru 2

1 Nekuda kweizvozvi tinofanira kuchenjerera zvikuru kuzvinhu zvatakanzwa, zvimwe tingakukurwa.

We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

2 Nokuti kana shoko rakataurwa nevatumwa rakange rakasimba, uye kudarika kwese nekusateerera kwakagamuchira kutsiva kwakarurama,

For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment,

3 isu tichapukunyuka sei kana tisina hanya neruponeso rukuru rwakadai? Irwo pakutanga rwakataurwa naIshe, rukasimbiswa kwatiri naivo vakanzwa,

how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

4 Mwari achivapupurirawo zvese nezviratidzo nezvishamiso, nemasimba akasiyana-siyana, nezvipo zveMweya Mutsvene, zvichienderana nechido chake.

and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.

5 Nokuti haana kuisa nyika inouya pasi pevatumwa, yatinotaura nezvayo.

For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.

6 Asi umwe pane imwe nzvimbo wakapupura achiti: Munhu chii, kuti mumurangarire? kana mwanakomana wemunhu, kuti muve nehanya naye?

But somewhere it is testified in these words: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

7 Makamuderedza zvishoma kuvatumwa; makamushongedza korona nekubwinya nerukudzo, ndokumumisa pamusoro pemabasa emaoko enyu.

You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor

8 Zvinhu zvese makaisa pasi petsoka dzake. Nokuti pane izvozvi wakaisa zvese pasi pake, haana kusiya chinhu chisina kuiswa pasi pake. Asi ikozvino tigere kuona zvinhu zvese zvakaiswa pasi pake.

and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.

9 Asi tinoona Jesu, akaderedzwa zvishoma kuvatumwa, nekuda kwedambudziko rerufu, akashongedzwa korona nekubwinya nerukudzo, kuti iye nenyasha dzaMwari aravire rufu achiitira wese.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

10 Nokuti zvakange zvakamufanira, iye zvinhu zvese zviripo nekuda kwake, uye kubudikidza naye zvese zviripo, pakuisa vanakomana vazhinji mukubwinya, apedzeredze mutungamiriri weruponeso rwavo kubudikidza nematambudziko.

In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.

11 Nokuti neanovaitisa vatsvene naivo vanoitwa vatsvene vese vakabva kune umwe; nemhaka iyi haanyadziswi kuvaidza hama,

For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.

12 achiti: Ndichaparidzira zita renyu kuhama dzangu, pakati pekereke ndichakuimbirai rumbidzo.

He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”

13 Uyezve: Ini ndichavimba naye. Uyezve: Tarirai ini nevana Mwari vaakandipa.

And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”

14 Naizvozvo sezvo vana vari vagovani venyama neropa, naiye pachake wakagovana navo izvozvi; kuti kubudikidza nerufu iye aparadze uyo ane simba rerufu, iye dhiabhorosi,

Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil,

15 agosunungura avo vese kubudikidza nekutya rufu vaiva pasi peuranda upenyu hwese.

and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

16 Nokuti zvirokwazvo haazvitoreri vatumwa, asi wakazvitorera mbeu yaAbhurahama.

For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham.

17 Naizvozvo wakafanira pazvinhu zvese kufananidzwa nehama dzake, kuti ave mupristi mukuru ane tsitsi nekutendeka pazvinhu zvaMwari, kuti aite muripo wezvivi zvevanhu.

For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.

18 Nokuti pane izvozvo iye amene wakatambudzika achiedzwa, anogona kubatsira vanoedzwa.

Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.
