VaHebheru 1

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

IN many ways, and many forms, God anciently conversed with our fathers, by the prophets:

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

But in these latter days, he hath conversed with us, by his Son; whom he hath constituted heir of all things, and by whom 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 is the splendor of his glory, and the image of himself, and upholdeth all by the energy of his word; and by himself he made a purgation of sins, and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

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

And he is altogether superior to the angels, as he hath also inherited a name which excelleth theirs.

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

For to which of the angels did God ever say, 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 again, when bringing the first begotten into the world, he said: Let all the angels of God worship him.

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

But of the angels he thus said: Who made his angels a wind, and his ministers a flaming fire.

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

But of the Son he said: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a righteous sceptre 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 rectitude, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness more than thy associates.

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

And again, Thou hast from the beginning laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands:

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

they will pass away, but thou endurest; and they all, like a robe, wax old;

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

and like a cloak, thou wilt fold them up. They will be changed; but thou wilt be as thou art, and thy years will not be finished.

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

And to which of the angels did he ever say: Sit thou at my right hand, until I shall place thy enemies a footstool under thy feet?

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

Are they not all spirits of ministration, who are sent to minister on account of them that are to inherit life?
