VaHebheru 1

1 Mwari iye ataura kare nenzira dzakawanda kumadzibaba nevaporofita muzvikamu nezvikamu,

God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners,

2 pamazuva awa ekupedzisira akataura kwatiri muMwanakomana, waakagadza mudyi wenhaka wezvinhu zvese, waakaitawo naye nyika, (aiōn g165)

hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in [his] Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)

3 iye ari kupenya kwekubwinya, nemufananidzo chaiwo wekuvapo kwake, uye achitakura zvinhu zvese neshoko resimba rake, wakati aita kubudikidza naiye pachake kunatswa kwezvivi zvedu, akagara pasi kuruoko rwerudyi rweuMambo huri kunzvimbo dzekumusoro,

who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

4 apfuudzwa vatumwa zvikuru pakunaka, sezvo akange awana nhaka yezita gurusa kupfuura ivo.

having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

5 Nokuti ndekune upi wevatumwa kwaakamboti: Ndiwe Mwanakomana wangu, nhasi ini ndakubereka? Uyezve: Ini ndichava kwaari Baba, uye iye achava Mwanakomana kwandiri?

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son?

6 Uye kana achiuisazve dangwe panyika anoti: Nevatumwa vese vaMwari ngavamunamate.

And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

7 Nekuvatumwa zvirokwazvo anoti: Iye anoita vatumwa vake mweya, nevaranda vake murazvo wemoto;

And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels winds, And his ministers a flame of fire:

8 asi kuMwanakomana anoti: Chigaro chenyu cheushe, Mwari, chiripo nekusingaperi-peri, tsvimbo yekururama itsvimbo yeushe hwenyu. (aiōn g165)

but of the Son [he saith], Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)

9 Makada kururama, ndokuvenga kuipa; naizvozvo Mwari, iye Mwari wenyu, wakakuzodzai nemafuta emufaro kupfuura vamwe venyu.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

10 Uye kuti: Imwi Ishe, pakutanga makateya nheyo dzenyika, nematenga mabasa emaoko enyu;

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands:

11 izvo zvichaparara, asi imwi mucharamba muripo; uye zvese zvichasakara senguvo;

They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

12 uye sechifukidzo muchazvipeta, uye zvichashandurwa; asi imwi makangodaro, nemakore enyu haangagumi.

And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail.

13 Asi ndekune upi wevatumwa kwaakambotaura achiti: Gara kuruoko rwangu rwerudyi, kusvikira ndaita vavengi vako chitsiko chetsoka dzako?

But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

14 Ko havasi vese mweya inoshumira yakatumwa kuzoshumira nekuda kwevachazodya nhaka yeruponeso here?

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?
