Wahebrania 1
1 Nyakati zilizopita Mungu alizungumza na mababu zetu kupitia manabii mara nyingi na kwa njia nyingi.
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
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)
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 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.
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 Amekuwa bora kuliko malaika, kama vile jina alilolirithi lilivyo bora zaidi kuliko jina 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 kwa malaika gani aliwahi kusema, “Wewe ni mwanangu, leo nimekuwa baba yako?” Na tena, “Nitakuwa baba kwake, naye atakuwa mwana kwangu?”
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, wakati Mungu alipomleta mzaliwa wa kwanza ulimwenguni, husema, “Malaika wote wa Mungu lazima wamwabudu.”
When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “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.”
Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants 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 of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 Umependa haki na kuchukia uvunjaji wa sheria, kwa hiyo Mungu, Mungu wako, amekupaka mafuta ya furaha kuliko wenzako.”
You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
10 Hapo mwanzo, Bwana, uliweka msingi wa dunia. Mbingu ni kazi za mikono yako.
And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 Zitatoweka, lakini wewe utaendelea. Zote zitachakaa kama vazi.
They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
12 Utazikunjakunja kama koti, nazo zitabadilika kama vazi. Lakini wewe ni yuleyule, na miaka yako haitakoma.”
You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t 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 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 siyo roho zilizotumwa kuwahudumia na kuwatunza wale watakaourithi wokovu?
Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
