Ibraniyawa 8
1 Nene udursu nile imon na tidin nbelle inere, tidi nin npirist udia ulenge na asosin ncara alime unkutel ndia kitene kani.
To sum up what I have been saying: Such is the high priest that we have, one who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God’s Majesty in heaven,
2 Ame kuci nari nanya kutyi kulau, kutyii nliran kidegen na cikilari wa tuno, na unit usurneri ba.
where he serves in the sanctuary, in that true tent set up by the Lord and not by man.
3 Bara ko uyeme upirist iwa fereghe a ni vat unizu nin gutunu nmyi bara kulapi, bara nani uso gbas ise imomon na iba ni.
Every high priest is appointed for the purpose of offering gifts and sacrifices to God; it follows, therefore, that this high priest must have some offering to make.
4 Nene ndah Kristi wandi nanya nyi, na awa so upirist ba, sam, tunda na amon duku allenghe na ina niza ufilizinu bara uduka.
If he were, however, still on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there are already priests who offer the gifts as the Law directs.
5 Iwa tumuzun imomon ile na uli nafo ulema nin nshin, nimon kitene kani, nafo na Kutelle wa su Musa ku kagbara, kubi na awadi nworu a tuno litino kutyin nliran, “yene” Kutelle woro “uba ke imone vat nafo nda na iwa dursofi kitene likup,”
(These priests, it is true, are engaged in a service which is only a copy and shadow of the heavenly realities, as is shown by the directions given to Moses when he was about to construct the tent. ‘Look to it,’ are the words, ‘that you make every part in accordance with the pattern shown you on the mountain.’)
6 Bara nene Kristi wa seru katuwa kadia, bara ame tutun di kiyitik nalikawali acine, alenge na iwa tunno nanya likawali acine.
But Jesus, as we see, has obtained a ministry as far excelling theirs, as the covenant of which he is the intermediary, based, as it is, on better promises, excels the former covenant.
7 Andi aleli alikawali nburne na nnana ba na ubellen npiziru nalikawali an ba ba yitu ku ba.
If that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second.
8 Na Kutelle wase kulapi kiti nanit, aworo “yenen ayiri din ncinu” ubellun ncikalari. Kubi na mba su alikawali apese nin kilarin Isiraila, nin kinin kilarin Yahuda.
But, finding fault with the people, God says – ‘“A time is coming,” says the Lord, “When I will ratify a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah –
9 Na aba yitu nafo alikawali alenge na nnasu nan na cifi mene ba, nloli liyire na nwan yacun nani nin nacara nnutuno nani nanyan nmyin nmasar, bara na iwa li ubun nanya nalikawali nighe ba.
Not such a covenant as I made with their ancestors on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not abide by their covenant with me, and therefore I disregarded them,” says the Lord.
10 “Bara alelere alikawali alenge na mbasu nin kilari Isiraila, kimal nale ayire” ubellun cikilari “mba” ciu uduka nigh nanya nibinai mine, mba kuru nyertu unin nanya nayi mine, mba so Kutelle mine, ung baso anit nighe.
“This is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel after those days,” says the Lord. “I will impress my laws on their minds, and will inscribe them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.
11 Na inug ba dursu umon unan lisosin kupo mine ba, sa umon gwana me, ubelle, “yinnon cikilare” bara vat ba yinie, unuzu nbene udu udiawe.
There will be no need for anyone to instruct their fellow citizen, or for a person to say to their relatives ‘Learn to know the Lord’; for everyone will know me, from the lowest to the highest.
12 Bara meng ba dursu nkunekune kitene naddu ananzan mine, na meng ba kuru nlizin nin nalapi mine ba.
For I will be merciful to their wrongdoings, and I will no longer remember their sins.”’
13 Nanya nbelle “ipese” anati alikawali nburne akuse inin ulenge na ana bellin iso ikuse ina mali uwulu.
By speaking of a new covenant, God at once renders the former covenant obsolete; and whatever becomes obsolete and loses its force is virtually annulled.
