Bahebeli 1
1 Mumasuba akunyuma Lesa walikwamba kubamashali betu tunkanda twingi kayi munshila shashiyana shiyana kupitila mubashinshimi.
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 Nomba mucindi cino camapwililisho Lesa latwambilinga kupitila mu Mwanendi, ngwalasebensesha pa kulenga kwilu ne cishi ca panshi, kayi engwalasala kwambeti pa cindi ca mapwililisho bintu byonse bikabe byakendi. (aiōn g165)
has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. (aiōn g165)
3 Kubekema kwa bulemuneno bwa Lesa kulabonekelenga mu Mwanendi, kayi ewakoshana ne Lesa, ewabikwabilila bintu byonse kupitila mumaswi akendi angofu. Mpwalatusambisha bwipishi walaya kwikala Kwilu kucikasa calulyo ca Bwami bwa Lesa.
His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 Mwanendi Lesa nimukulene kupita bangelo, pakwinga lina ndyakute lyapita maina abangelo.
having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.
5 Pakwinga kufumowa kaindi paliya mungelo Lesa ngwalambileti, “Njobe Mwaname lelo ame njame Baiso” Lesa uliya kwambilapo mungelo naba umo kwambeti, “Ninkabe Baishi neye nakabe Mwaname.”
For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”
6 Nomba Lesa mpwalikutuma Mwanendi wakusomona pa cishi ca panshi walambeti, “Bangelo ba Lesa bonse bela kumukambilila”
When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
7 Nomba kwamba sha bangelo Lesa walambeti, “Nkute kusandula bangelo kuba lukupwe kayi nkute kusandula basebenshi bakendi kuba nsakamwenge sha mulilo.”
Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”
8 Nomba ku Mwanendi, Lesa walambeti, “Obe Lesa, bwami bwakobe nteti bukapwe! Nukendeleshe bantu bakobe mubululami. (aiōn g165)
But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of your Kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 Walasuna bululami ne kupela bwipishi. Neco ame Lesa wakobe, ndakusala ne kukupa bulemu bunene kupita banobe bonse ne kukunanika mafuta akondelesha.”
You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
10 Kayi Lesa walambeti, “Obe Mwami pakutanguna njobe walalenga cishi capanshi kayi ne makasa akobe walalenga kwilu.”
And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 Ibi nibikapwe, nsombi obe nukabengaponga cindi conse. Byonse nibikakuluketi byakufwala.
They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
12 Nukabipete pete pamo, eti munganjo. Kayi nibikashinte kubeti byakufwala. Nsombi amwe nkamushinti sobwe, nkamubelenge byaka byenu pakwinga buyumi bwenu nkabupu.
You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail.”
13 Lesa nkalambilapo umo wa bangelo kwambeti, “Ikala ku cikasa cakame ca lulyo mpaka nanshi nkakome balwani bakobe bakabe cakulyatapo myendo yakobe!”
But which of the angels has he told at any time, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”
14 “Sena bangelo bonse nteyo mishimu ikute kutumwa ne Lesa kuya kusebensela bantu beti bakapuluke?”
Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
