Bahebeli 9
1 Cipangano ca kaindi calikukute milawo ya nkambililo kayi ne milawo yapa musena wa kukambililapo webakwa ne bantu.
Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary.
2 Bantu balebaka Tente ya Lesa. Cipinda cakutanguna calikukwiweti Musena Waswepa. Umo mucipinda mwalikuba pakubika lampi, tebulu kayi ne shinkwa walikubengwa kuli Lesa
For a tabernacle was prepared. The first room, in which were the lampstand, the table, and the bread of the presence, was called the holy place.
3 Kunyuma kwa cikwisa cashinkilila pakati, kwalikuba musena walikukwiweti, Musena Waswepeshesha.
Behind the second curtain was another room, called the most holy place.
4 Umu emwalikuba nteme ya golide pakutentela lubani, ne libokoshi lya cipangano lyamatwa ne golide kayi ne nsupa ya golide mwalikuba mana. Kayi mwalikuba nkoli ya Aloni isa yalasonsa matewu, ne mabwe abili asa palikuba palembwa Milawo likumi.
It had a golden altar for incense. It also had the ark of the covenant, which was completely overlaid with gold. Inside it was a golden jar holding the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.
5 Pa libokoshi palikuba Bakelubi bakubesa balikwimanina bulemeneno bwa Lesa, mifunsha ya mapepe abo yalikuba yafukatila pa musena wakulelekelapo bwipishi. Nomba cindi cino nteco cakwamba byonse ncebyalikuba sobwe.
Above the ark of the covenant, glorious cherubim overshadowed the atonement lid, which we cannot now talk about in detail.
6 Ubu ebubambo bwa bintu ncebyalikuba. Beshimilumbo balikwingila mu cipinda cakutanguna ca Tente busuba ne busuba kuya kusebensa ncito shabo.
After these things were prepared, the priests always entered the outer room of the tabernacle to perform their services.
7 Enka Shimilumbo Mukulene ewalikwingila mu cipinda catubili ca Tente kankanda kamo pa caka. Walikumantilila milopa yakubenga kuli Lesa cebo ca bwipishi bwakendi, ne bwa bantu banendi abo balikwipisha mwakutenshiba.
But only the high priest entered the second room once each year, and not without blood that he offered for himself and for the people's unintentional sins.
8 Mushimu Uswepa ulatwiyishinga pantangalala pabubambo ubu kwambeti nshila ya kwingilila mu Musena Waswepeshesha, nkaina icaluka pakwinga tente yakutanguna mpoicili.
The Holy Spirit showed that the way into the most holy place had not yet appeared as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.
9 Ici ecitondesho cilatondekenga ku cindi cino. Uku ekwambeti bipo bya milumbo ya banyama byalikubengwa kuli Lesa nkabyela kululamika moyo wa muntu lakambililinga Lesa.
This was an illustration for the present time. Both the gifts and sacrifices that are now being offered are not able to perfect the worshiper's conscience.
10 Pakwinga bintu ibyo bilambangowa pabyakulya ne pa byakunwa kayi ne pamiyambo ya kobenkana ya nswepeshelo. Yonseyi ni milawo yakunsa yasebensanga kushikila cindi Lesa nceti akekalike bubambo bwalinolino.
They are only concerned with food and drink and various ceremonial washings, regulations for the body until the time of the new order.
11 Nomba, Klistu Shimilumbo Mukulene wa bintu byaina bili pano lashiki. Tente njala sebenselengamonga ni inene, kayi yelela kwine, nteyo yebakwa ne makasa abantu sobwe, uku ekwambeti nteyo ya lubasu lwa pa cishi capanshi.
Christ came as a high priest of the good things that have come. He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that was not made by human hands, one not belonging to this created world.
12 Klistu mpwalengila mu Musena Waswepeshesha uli mutente walengilamo kankanda kamowa. Uliya kumantilila milopa ya mpongo, ne ya ng'ombe kwambeti abengeti milumbo, nsombi walamanta milopa yakendi yalatuletela lupulusho lwamuyayaya. (aiōnios g166)
It was not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood that he entered into the most holy place once for all and secured our eternal redemption. (aiōnios g166)
13 Milopa ya mpongo, ne yang'ombe kayi ne milota ya ng'ombe nimbwa bacende njali kusansila bantu babula kuswepa pamenso a Lesa. Kuswepesha uku kwalikubowa kwa kuswepesha mubili.
For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a heifer's ashes on those who have become unclean sets them apart to God for the cleansing of their flesh,
14 Neco ici pakubeco, inga yalo milopa ya Klistu inga ishika kupeyo! Kupitila mu Mushimu wamuyayaya, neye walalibenga kuba mulumbo welela cakupwililila kuli Lesa. Milopa ya Klistu nikaswepeshe miyeyo yetu kushiya miyambo yakuswepesha yabula nchito, kwambeti tusebensele Lesa muyumi. (aiōnios g166)
how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios g166)
15 Pacebo ici Klistu elabambanga cipangano ca linolino, neco abo balakwiwa ne Lesa bela kutambula colwe citapu ico ncalalaya, ingacibeco pakwinga pali lufu lwa muntu ulo lwalasungulula bantu kubwipishi mbobalikwinsa kapacili cipangano cakutanguna. (aiōnios g166)
For this reason, he is the mediator of a new covenant. This is so that, since a death has taken place to free those under the first covenant from their sins, those who are called will receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)
16 Na pali cipangano calembwa cakushiyila buboni muntu umbi, pela kuba lushinisho lwakwambeti uyo walacilemba lafu.
For where there is a will, the death of the person who made it must be proven.
17 Pakwinga cipangano ngaciba cabula ncito na muntu walacilemba ucili muyumi, nsombi na lafu empocikute kusebensa.
For a will is only in force when there has been a death, because it has no force while the one who made it is still alive.
18 Ecebo cakendi cipangano cakutanguna calabako cebo cakusebensha milopa.
So not even the first covenant was established without blood.
19 Cakutanguna Mose walabambila bantu byonse byalalembwa mu Milawo ya Lesa. Encali kumantila milopa ya ng'ombe ne yampongo ne kwisankanya ne menshi, ne kusansa palibuku lya Milawo, kayi ne pa bantu bonse, pakusebensesha katondo ka hisopu kasungililwa bweya bwa mbelele bufubela.
For when Moses had given every command in the law to all the people, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water, red wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people.
20 Walambeti, “Iyi ni milopa ilaboneshengeti cipangano ncalamba Lesa mwela kucikonka.”
Then he said, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded for you.”
21 Kayi Mose walikusansa milopa pa Tente ya Lesa ne pa bintu byonse byakusebensesha pa kukambilila.
In the same manner, he sprinkled the blood on the tabernacle and all the containers used in the service.
22 Kwelana ne Milawo ya Mose, bintu byonse byali kuswepa ne milopa, kayi kwambeti bwipishi bulekelelwe palikuyandika kwita milopa.
According to the law, almost everything is cleansed with blood. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
23 Ibi bintu byemaninakowa bintu bya kwilu binebine, ibyo byela kuswepeshewa munshila ilico. Nomba kwambeti bintu bya kwilu biswepeshewe, bilayandikinga milumbo inene yaina kupitilila.
Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in heaven should be cleansed with these animal sacrifices. However, the heavenly things themselves had to be cleansed with much better sacrifices.
24 Lino Klistu uliya kwingila mu Musena Waswepa walebakwa ne makasa abantu sobwe uwo walikubowa cinkosha ca winewine. Nendi walengila Kwilu uko nkwalatwimanininga kuli Lesa pa cino cindi.
For Christ did not enter into the most holy place made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one. Instead he entered into heaven itself, to appear now in God's presence for us.
25 Shimilumbo Mukulene wa Bayuda walikwingila mu Musena Waswepeshesha kankanda kamo pa caka, kali wamanta milopa yanyama. Nomba nendi Klistu uliya kulibenga mulumbo wakendi tunkanda twingi sobwe.
He did not go there in order to offer himself many times, as does the high priest, who enters the most holy place year by year with the blood of another.
26 Necalikubeco, nalikupitowa mu makatasho angi kufumowa kukulengwa kwa cishi capanshi. Nomba lino pakuboneti mapwililisho a cishi ali pepi, nendi walabonekowa kankanda kamo kwisa kufunya bwipishi kupitila mu mulumbo ngwalalibenga mwine. (aiōn g165)
If that had been the case, then he would have had to suffer many times since the beginning of the world. But now he has appeared at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)
27 Muntu wela kufwa kankanda kamo nanshi, kufumapo lombolosho
Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that comes judgment,
28 Kwelana neco, Klistu nendi walatwala mulumbo kankanda kamowa kufunya bwipishi bwa bantu bangi. Nakese katubili nteko kusa kufunya bwipishi sobwe, nsombi kwisa kupulusha bantu balamupembelelenga.
so also, Christ was offered once to take away the sins of many, and will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but for the salvation of those who are waiting for him.
