Wahebrania 1
1 Nyakati zilizopita Mungu alizungumza na mababu zetu kupitia manabii mara nyingi na kwa njia nyingi.
Elohim, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
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)
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (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 brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 Amekuwa bora kuliko malaika, kama vile jina alilolirithi lilivyo bora zaidi kuliko jina lao.
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than 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 unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 Tena, wakati Mungu alipomleta mzaliwa wa kwanza ulimwenguni, husema, “Malaika wote wa Mungu lazima wamwabudu.”
And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of Elohim 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, Who maketh his angels spirits, 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 unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O Elohim, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 Umependa haki na kuchukia uvunjaji wa sheria, kwa hiyo Mungu, Mungu wako, amekupaka mafuta ya furaha kuliko wenzako.”
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore Elohim, even thy Elohim, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 Hapo mwanzo, Bwana, uliweka msingi wa dunia. Mbingu ni kazi za mikono yako.
And, Thou, YHWH, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
11 Zitatoweka, lakini wewe utaendelea. Zote zitachakaa kama vazi.
They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 Utazikunjakunja kama koti, nazo zitabadilika kama vazi. Lakini wewe ni yuleyule, na miaka yako haitakoma.”
And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 Lakini ni kwa malaika yupi Mungu alisema wakati wowote, “Keti mkono wangu wa kulia mpaka nitakapowafanya adui zako kuwa kiti cha miguu yako”?
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
14 Je, malaika wote siyo roho zilizotumwa kuwahudumia na kuwatunza wale watakaourithi wokovu?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
