Hebrews 4
1 Sumbu tsila yi kotila mu luvundulu lu Nzambi bu yikidi, bunatukeba tala wumosi mu beno kedi kambu bu kotila.
Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.
2 Bila beto mamveto, batulonga Nsamu Wumboti, banga batu bana. Vayi mambu bawa masia ku basadisa ko bila masia bundana ko ayi minu ki bawu batambula mawu.
For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not mixed with faith by those who heard.
3 Bila kuidi beto tuwilukila, tueka kota mu luvundulu banga Nzambi bu katubila ti: Diawu ku tsi nganzi ama ndilefa ndefi ti: “Balendi kota ko mu luvundulu luama.” Ka diambu ko mavanga makivangimina tona vana va vangimina nza.
For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, they will not enter into my rest;” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 Bila vama va nkaka vayolokolo mu diambu di lumbu kitsambudi ti: Nzambi wuvunda mu lumbu kitsambudi bu kamanisa kisalu kiandi kioso.
For he has said this somewhere about the seventh day, “God rested on the seventh day from all his works;”
5 Ayi mu yo yawu nzila, wutuba ti: balendi kota ko mu luvundulu luama.
and in this place again, “They will not enter into my rest.”
6 Sumbu didi ti batu bankaka bafueti kota mu luvundulu lolo, vayi batu bobo batuama longo Nsamu wumboti basia kota ko mu diambu di kambu kuawu ku tumama;
Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter into it, and they to whom the good news was preached before failed to enter in because of disobedience,
7 diawu Nzambi kabuela kubikila Lumbu kinkaka, kintedolo “Lumbu kiaki” bu katuba, bilumbu biwombo bu bivioka, mu Davidi boso butuama yolokolo: Enati lumbu kiaki luwilu mbembo andi lubika kitula mintima mieno banga matadi.
he again defines a certain day, “today”, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), “Today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
8 Bila enati Zosue wuba vana luvundulu nganu Nzambi kalendi buela tubila lumbu kinkaka ko.
For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
9 Vayi luvundulu lusiedi kuidi batu ba Nzambi luidi banga lu lumbu ki saba.
There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
10 Bila mutu wowo wukota mu luvundulu lu Nzambi, niandi mamvandi wuvunda bu kamanisini kisalu kiandi banga bu vundila Nzambi bu kamanisa kisalu kiandi.
For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.
11 Tunuana mu kota mu luvundulu beni mu diambu mutu kabika bua mu sokudila kambu ku tumama ku phila yoyi.
Let’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.
12 Bila mambu ma Nzambi madi moyo ayi malembo sadi ngolo; maviokidi sabala mu meno, mankotanga ngolo nate mu vambisa moyo ayi pheve, nate mu vambisa madikulu ayi tonzo tu mimvesi ayi meti fiongunina mayindu ayi makani ma mintima.
For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
13 Kuisi ko kadi vangu kimosi kidi kisuama va meso ma Nzambi. Bima bioso bidi va yambi ayi bisi ko bisuama va meso ma mutu wowo wela kutusambisa.
There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.
14 Diawu bu tubeki pfumu yi zinganga yisabuka Diyilu, Yesu Muana Nzambi, buna bika tusimbidila kimbangi kieto ki minu.
Having then a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let’s hold tightly to our confession.
15 Bila tuisi pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi ko yoyi yinkambu fubakananga mu ziphasi zieto. Vayi tubeki wumosi wutoto banga beto mu mambu moso, vayi kasia vola kadi disumu dimosi ko.
For we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.
16 Diawu tufikamanu mu diana dioso ku kundu ki nlemvo wu Nzambi muingi katumona kiadi ayi tutambula nlemvo wunsadisanga mu thangu yifuana.
Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.
