Bahebeli 5
1 Shimilumbo Mukulene uliyense ukute kusalwa kufuma pakati pa bantu banendi, ne kubikwa ne Lesa kwambeti abaimaninenga kuli Lesa. Ncito yakendi ni yakubenga bipo ne milumbo kwambeti Lesa alekelele bwipishi bwa bantu.
For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 Pacebo cakwambeti neye walefuka, encakute kubela wabomba moyo kubantu bakute kwinsa byaipa mwakubula kwinshiba.
The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.
3 Neco pakuba muntu walefuka nkela kutwala milumbo kuli Lesa ya kufunya bwipishi bwa bantu banendi bonka sobwe, nsombi ne bwipishi bwakendi.
Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.
4 Nkakute kulisala ne kulipa bulemu mwine bwakuba Shimilumbo Mukulene sobwe, nsombi Lesa eukute kumukuweti abe Shimilumbo Mukulene mbuli ncalakuwa Aloni.
Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.
5 Copeleco, neye Klistu uliya kulipa bulemu mwine bwakuba Shimilumbo Mukulene sobwe, nsombi Lesa ewalamwambileti, “Njobe mwaname ame lelo ndaba Baiso.”
So also Christ did not glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.”
6 Kayi mu Mabala, napambi palembweti, “Nukabengowa Shimilumbo cindi conse mbuli bushimilumbo bwa Melekisedeki.” (aiōn g165)
As he says also in another place, "You are a priest for the age (aiōn g165), after the order of Melchizedek."
7 Yesu kacili muntu pacishi capanshi walikupaila ne kusenga kuli Lesa mwakompolola kalila misonshi kuli Lesa uyo wela kumupulusha ku lufu. Cebo cakulicepesha kayi ne kulibenga, Lesa walamukumbula.
He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
8 Nikukabeti Yesu walikuba Mwanendi Lesa, mapensho ngalakumanya alamwiyisha kunyumfwila Lesa.
though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
9 Mpwalaba welela cakupwililila walaba citatiko calupulusho lwa cindi conse ku bantu balamunyumfwilinga. (aiōnios g166)
Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of consummate (aiōnios g166) salvation,
10 Neco Lesa walamubika kuba Shimilumbo Mukulene, bushimilumbo bwa Melekisedeki.
named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
11 Nkute makani angi akwamba, nomba ayuma kwamba kuli njamwe pakwinga nkamukute kunyumfwa bwangu.
About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.
12 Nambi canga celela kwambeti pacino cindi mube beshikwiyisha, mulayandanga muntu wela kumwiyisha biyo bitanshi bya maswi a Lesa. Mu musena wakwambeti mulye byakulya byakutamfuna, mucili mwelela kunwowa mukupa.
For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.
13 Uliyense ucinwa mukupa ulyeti mwana kateta wabula lwinshibo mubintu byalulama.
For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.
14 Nomba byakulya byakutamfuna ni bya makulene, abo bela kusebensesha ngofu sha lwinshibo lwakushiyanisha pakati pa caina ne caipa kwelela.
But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
