Wahebrania 1
1 Nyakati zilizopita Mungu alizungumza na mababu zetu kupitia manabii mara nyingi na kwa njia nyingi.
At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes:
2 Lakini katika siku hizi tulizonazo, Mungu ameongea nasi kupitia Mwana, ambaye alimweka kuwa mrithi wa vitu vyote, na ambaye kupitia yeye pia aliumba ulimwengu. (aiōn g165)
in these last dayes hee hath spoken vnto vs by his Sonne, Whom he hath made heire of al things, by whome also he made the worldes, (aiōn g165)
3 Mwanawe ni nuru ya utukufu wake, tabia pekee ya asili yake, na anayeendeleza vitu vyote kwa neno la nguvu zake. Baada ya kukamilisha utakaso wa dhambi, aliketi chini mkono wa kulia wa enzi huko juu.
Who being the brightnes of the glory, and the ingraued forme of his person, and bearing vp all things by his mightie worde, hath by himselfe purged our sinnes, and sitteth at the right hand of the Maiestie in the highest places,
4 Amekuwa bora kuliko malaika, kama vile jina alilolirithi lilivyo bora zaidi kuliko jina lao.
And is made so much more excellent then the Angels, in as much as hee hath obteined a more excellent Name then they.
5 Kwa maana ni kwa malaika gani aliwahi kusema, “Wewe ni mwanangu, leo nimekuwa baba yako?” Na tena, “Nitakuwa baba kwake, naye atakuwa mwana kwangu?”
For vnto which of the Angels saide he at any time, Thou art my Sonne, this day begate I thee? and againe, I will be his Father, and he shalbe my Sonne?
6 Tena, wakati Mungu alipomleta mzaliwa wa kwanza ulimwenguni, husema, “Malaika wote wa Mungu lazima wamwabudu.”
And againe, when he bringeth in his first begotten Sonne into the worlde, hee saith, And let all the Angels of God worship him.
7 Kuhusu malaika asema, “Yeye ambaye hufanya malaika zake kuwa roho, na watumishi wake kuwa ndimi za moto.”
And of the Angels he saith, He maketh the spirites his messengers, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 Lakini kuhusu Mwana husema, “Kiti chako cha enzi, Mungu, ni cha milele na milele. Fimbo ya ufalme wako ni fimbo ya haki. (aiōn g165)
But vnto the Sonne he saith, O God, thy throne is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnes. (aiōn g165)
9 Umependa haki na kuchukia uvunjaji wa sheria, kwa hiyo Mungu, Mungu wako, amekupaka mafuta ya furaha kuliko wenzako.”
Thou hast loued righteousnes and hated iniquitie. Wherefore God, eue thy God, hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes.
10 Hapo mwanzo, Bwana, uliweka msingi wa dunia. Mbingu ni kazi za mikono yako.
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast established the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thine handes.
11 Zitatoweka, lakini wewe utaendelea. Zote zitachakaa kama vazi.
They shall perish, but thou doest remaine: and they all shall waxe olde as doeth a garment.
12 Utazikunjakunja kama koti, nazo zitabadilika kama vazi. Lakini wewe ni yuleyule, na miaka yako haitakoma.”
And as a vesture shalt thou folde them vp, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy yeeres shall not faile.
13 Lakini ni kwa malaika yupi Mungu alisema wakati wowote, “Keti mkono wangu wa kulia mpaka nitakapowafanya adui zako kuwa kiti cha miguu yako”?
Vnto which also of the Angels saide he at any time, Sit at my right hand, til I make thine enemies thy footestoole?
14 Je, malaika wote siyo roho zilizotumwa kuwahudumia na kuwatunza wale watakaourithi wokovu?
Are they not al ministring spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shalbe heires of saluation?
