VaHebheru 4
1 Naizvozvo ngatitye zvimwe chivimbiso chekupinda muzororo rake chichiripo umwe wenyu aonekwe achitaira kuchisvikira.
LET us fear then lest, though a promise be left of entering into his rest, any one of you should appear to fail of obtaining it.
2 Nokuti nesuwo takaparidzirwa evhangeri, sekwavariwo; asi shoko ravakanzwa harina kuvabatsira, sezvo risina kuvhenganiswa nerutendo kune avo vakanzwa.
For we are hearing the same gospel preached as they did; but the word heard did not profit them, not being incorporated by faith with those who heard it.
3 Nokuti isu vakatenda tinopinda pazororo, sezvaakareva achiti: Sezvo ndakapika pakutsamwa kwangu ndikati: Havangatongopindi muzororo rangu; kunyange mabasa akange apedzwa kubva pakuvambwa kwenyika.
For we who have believed, have entered into the rest, even as he said, “So, I sware in my wrath, that they shall not enter into my rest;” and that notwithstanding the works were done from the foundation of the world.
4 Nokuti wakataura pane imwe nzvimbo pamusoro pezuva rechinomwe sezvizvi: Mwariwo wakazorora nezuva rechinomwe pamabasa ake ese;
For he said in a certain passage concerning the seventh day to this purport, “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”
5 nepanozve: Havangatongopindi muzororo rangu.
And in this passage again, “They shall not enter into my rest.”
6 Naizvozvo zvazvichipo kuti vamwe vachapinda mariri, uye vakatanga kuparidzirwa evhangeri havana kupinda nekusateerera,
Forasmuch therefore as it remaineth for some to enter into it, and they who first had the gospel preached to them entered not in because of unbelief;
7 anogurazve rimwe zuva, achiti: Nhasi, achitaura kubudikidza naDhavhidhi, nguva huru yakadai yapfuura, sezvakwakataurwa, kuchinzi: Nhasi kana muchinzwa inzwi rake, musaomesa moyo yenyu.
again he limiteth a certain day, saying by David, To-day, after so long a time; as it is said, “To-day if ye will hear his voice harden not your hearts.”
8 Nokuti dai Joshua akange avapa zororo, haazaizoreva pashure peizvi pamusoro perimwe zuva.
For if Joshua had given them the rest, he would not afterwards have spoken of another day.
9 Naizvozvo rasarirwa vanhu vaMwari zororo resabata.
A sabbatical rest then still remaineth for the people of God.
10 Nokuti wakapinda muzororo rake iyewo wakazorora pamabasa ake, saMwari pane ake.
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath rested from his works, as God did from his own.
11 Naizvozvo ngatishingairire kupinda muzororo iroro, kuti kusava neanowira mumuenzaniso iwoyo wekusateerera.
Let us then earnestly endeavour to enter into that rest, lest any person fall after the same example of unbelief.
12 Nokuti shoko raMwari ibenyu, uye rine simba, uye rinopinza kukunda munondo unocheka kumativi maviri, uye rinobaya kusvikira panoparadzana moyo nemweya, nepemafundo nemongo; uye mutongi wendangariro nezvinangwa zvemoyo.
For the word of God is quickening, and energetic, and sharper than every two-edged sword, and piercing through and through, so as to divide both soul and spirit, both joints and spinal marrow, and critically judges the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Hakunawo chisikwa chisingaratidziki pamberi pake; asi zvinhu zvese zvakashama uye zvakazarurirwa meso aiye watinozvidavirira kwaari.
Even creation is not invisible before him, but all things are naked, and fully displayed before his eyes, to whom we must give our account.
14 Naizvozvo zvatine mupristi mukuru kwazvo, wakapfuurira kumatenga, Jesu Mwanakomana waMwari, ngatibatisise kupupura kwedu.
Having then a great high-priest passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession.
15 Nokuti hatina mupristi mukuru asingagoni kunzwiswa tsitsi neutera hwedu, asi wakaedzwa pazvinhu zvese sesu, asina chivi.
For we have not an high-priest incapable of a fellow-feeling with our infirmities, but one tempted in all points, in exact resemblance with ourselves, sin excepted.
16 Naizvozvo ngatiswederei nekushinga kuchigaro cheushe chenyasha, kuti tigamuchire tsitsi, tiwane nyasha, tibatsirwe panguva yakafanira.
Let us therefore approach with boldness the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace for seasonable help.
