Wahebrania 1
1 Zamani Mungu alisema na baba zetu kwa njia ya manabii mara nyingi na kwa njia mbalimbali,
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 lakini katika siku hizi za mwisho anasema nasi kwa njia ya Mwanawe, ambaye amemweka kuwa mrithi wa vitu vyote, na ambaye kupitia kwake aliuumba ulimwengu. (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 ages (aiōn g165).
3 Mwana ni mngʼao wa utukufu wa Mungu na mfano halisi wa nafsi yake, akivihifadhi vitu vyote kwa neno lake lenye uweza. Akiisha kufanya utakaso kwa ajili ya dhambi, aliketi mkono wa kuume wa Aliye Mkuu huko mbinguni.
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 Kwa hiyo alifanyika bora kuliko malaika, kama jina alilorithi lilivyo bora kuliko lao.
having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.
5 Kwa maana ni malaika yupi ambaye wakati wowote Mungu alipata kumwambia, “Wewe ni Mwanangu; leo mimi nimekuzaa?” Au tena, “Mimi nitakuwa Baba yake, naye atakuwa Mwanangu?”
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 Tena, Mungu amletapo mzaliwa wake wa kwanza ulimwenguni, anasema, “Malaika wote wa Mungu na wamsujudu.”
When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
7 Anenapo kuhusu malaika asema, “Huwafanya malaika wake kuwa pepo, watumishi wake kuwa miali ya moto.”
Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”
9 Umependa haki na kuchukia uovu; kwa hiyo Mungu, Mungu wako, amekuweka juu ya wenzako kwa kukupaka mafuta ya furaha.”
You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
10 Pia asema, “Hapo mwanzo, Ee Bwana, uliweka misingi ya dunia, nazo mbingu ni kazi ya mikono yako.
And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 Hizo zitatoweka, lakini wewe utadumu; zote zitachakaa kama vazi.
They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
12 Utazikungʼutakungʼuta kama joho, nazo zitachakaa kama vazi. Lakini wewe hubadiliki, nayo miaka yako haikomi kamwe.”
You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years will not fail.”
13 Je, ni kwa malaika yupi ambaye Mungu amepata kumwambia wakati wowote, “Keti mkono wangu wa kuume, hadi nitakapowaweka adui zako chini ya miguu yako”?
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 Je, malaika wote si roho watumikao, waliotumwa kuwahudumia wale watakaourithi wokovu?
Are not they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
