VaHebheru 2
1 Nekuda kweizvozvi tinofanira kuchenjerera zvikuru kuzvinhu zvatakanzwa, zvimwe tingakukurwa.
So then, we really must pay the utmost attention to the things we have heard, so that we not drift away.
2 Nokuti kana shoko rakataurwa nevatumwa rakange rakasimba, uye kudarika kwese nekusateerera kwakagamuchira kutsiva kwakarurama,
For if the word spoken through angels became binding, and every violation and disobedience received a deserved penalty,
3 isu tichapukunyuka sei kana tisina hanya neruponeso rukuru rwakadai? Irwo pakutanga rwakataurwa naIshe, rukasimbiswa kwatiri naivo vakanzwa,
how shall we escape if we are careless about that tremendous salvation?—it received its beginning through the Lord's declaration and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him[S],
4 Mwari achivapupurirawo zvese nezviratidzo nezvishamiso, nemasimba akasiyana-siyana, nezvipo zveMweya Mutsvene, zvichienderana nechido chake.
God adding His[F] attestation by signs, wonders, various miracles, and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.
5 Nokuti haana kuisa nyika inouya pasi pevatumwa, yatinotaura nezvayo.
Because it is not to angels that He has subjected the coming inhabited earth, about which we are speaking;
6 Asi umwe pane imwe nzvimbo wakapupura achiti: Munhu chii, kuti mumurangarire? kana mwanakomana wemunhu, kuti muve nehanya naye?
rather, there is a place where someone testified saying: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or son of man that you care for him?
7 Makamuderedza zvishoma kuvatumwa; makamushongedza korona nekubwinya nerukudzo, ndokumumisa pamusoro pemabasa emaoko enyu.
You made him lower than the angels, for a little while; 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.
You subjected all things under his feet.” It follows that in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not so subjected. However, we do not yet see everything subjected to him, at present.
9 Asi tinoona Jesu, akaderedzwa zvishoma kuvatumwa, nekuda kwedambudziko rerufu, akashongedzwa korona nekubwinya nerukudzo, kuti iye nenyasha dzaMwari aravire rufu achiitira wese.
But we do see Jesus, who ‘was made lower than the angels, for a little while’ (in order to suffer death), ‘crowned with glory and honor’—this, by the grace of God, so that He[S] might taste death on behalf of 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.
Because it was appropriate to Him[F], for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons into glory, to complete the Author of their salvation through sufferings.
11 Nokuti neanovaitisa vatsvene naivo vanoitwa vatsvene vese vakabva kune umwe; nemhaka iyi haanyadziswi kuvaidza hama,
For both He[S] who is sanctifying and those who are being sanctified are all from One, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them ‘brothers’,
12 achiti: Ndichaparidzira zita renyu kuhama dzangu, pakati pekereke ndichakuimbirai rumbidzo.
saying, “I will declare Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing praise to You.”
13 Uyezve: Ini ndichavimba naye. Uyezve: Tarirai ini nevana Mwari vaakandipa.
And again, “I will put my trust in Him[F]”; and again, “Here am I and the children whom 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,
Since, then, the children have flesh and blood as their share, He[S] Himself likewise partook of the same, in order that through His death He might abolish the one who had the power of death—that is, the devil—
15 agosunungura avo vese kubudikidza nekutya rufu vaiva pasi peuranda upenyu hwese.
and set free these [the children] who during their whole lifetime were subject to slavery through fear of death.
16 Nokuti zvirokwazvo haazvitoreri vatumwa, asi wakazvitorera mbeu yaAbhurahama.
(Now surely He does not assist angels, but He does assist Abraham's seed.)
17 Naizvozvo wakafanira pazvinhu zvese kufananidzwa nehama dzake, kuti ave mupristi mukuru ane tsitsi nekutendeka pazvinhu zvaMwari, kuti aite muripo wezvivi zvevanhu.
That is why He was obliged to become like those ‘brothers’ in all respects, so that He could be a merciful and faithful high priest, in what concerns God, with a view to making propitiation for the sins of the people.
18 Nokuti pane izvozvo iye amene wakatambudzika achiedzwa, anogona kubatsira vanoedzwa.
For in that in which He Himself endured suffering, having been tested, He is able to assist those who are being tested.
