Hebrews 9

1 Then verily the first [covenant] had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

Ngakho isibili lesosivumelwano sakuqala sasilezimiso zenkonzo kaNkulunkulu, lendawo engcwele yemhlabeni.

2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein [was] the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

Ngoba kwakhiwa ithabhanekele; elokuqala okwakukhona kulo uluthi lwesibane letafula lezinkwa zokubukiswa, elibizwa ngokuthi yindawo engcwele.

3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

Langemva kweveyili lesibili kwakukhona ithabhanekele elibizwa ngokuthi yingcwele yezingcwele,

4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein [was] the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

lilesitsha segolide sokutshisela impepha, lomtshokotsho wesivumelwano obhadwe ngegolide inhlangothi zonke, okwakukhona kuwo inqayi yegolide elemana, lenduku kaAroni eyahlumayo, lezibhebhe zesivumelwano;

5 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we can not now speak particularly.

laphezu kwawo amakherubhi enkazimulo asibekele isihlalo somusa; esingekhulume ngalezizinto khathesi ngokukhethekileyo.

6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service [of God].

Sezilungisiwe lezizinto ngokunjalo, abapristi bangena njalonjalo ethabhanekeleni lokuqala bephelelisa imisebenzi yokukhonza uNkulunkulu;

7 But into the second [went] the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and [for] the errors of the people:

kodwa kwelesibili kwakungena kanye ngomnyaka umpristi omkhulu yedwa, kungeyisikho ngaphandle kwegazi, azinikelela yena leziphambeko zabantu;

8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

uMoya oyiNgcwele utshengisa lokhu, ukuthi indlela eya endaweni engcwele kayikembulwa, lapho lisemi ithabhanekele lokuqala;

9 Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

okwakungumfanekiso walesosikhathi, okwanikelwa kulo iminikelo kanye lemihlatshelo, engelakho ukuphelelisa okhonzayo maqondana lesazela,

10 [Which stood] only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed [on them] until the time of reformation.

kuphela kokudliwayo, lokunathwayo, lokugeza okuzinhlobonhlobo lezimiso zenyama, ezibekwe phezu kwabo kuze kufike isikhathi sokulungisiswa.

11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

Kodwa uKristu esefikile, engumpristi omkhulu wezinto ezinhle ezizayo, ngethabhanekele elikhulu lelipheleleyo kulelinye, elingenziwanga ngezandla, okuyikuthi, elingeyisilo lalokhukudalwa,

12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us]. (aiōnios g166)

futhi kungeyisikho ngegazi lezimbuzi lelamathole, kodwa ngelakhe igazi wangena kanye endaweni engcwele, esezuze ukuhlengwa okulaphakade. (aiōnios g166)

13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

Ngoba uba igazi lezimbuzi lelezinkunzi, lomlotha wethokazi, kufafaza abangcolileyo, kungcwelisa kuze kube sekuhlambulukeni kwenyama,

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (aiōnios g166)

kakhulu kangakanani igazi likaKristu, owathi ngoMoya ophakade wazinikela kuNkulunkulu engelasici, lizahlambulula isazela senu emisebenzini efileyo, ukukhonza uNkulunkulu ophilayo? (aiōnios g166)

15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. (aiōnios g166)

Langenxa yalokhu ungumlamuli wesivumelwano esitsha, ukuze, lokhu ukufa sekufikile ekuhlengeni kweziphambeko ngesikhathi sesivumelwano sokuqala, ababiziweyo bemukele isithembiso selifa laphakade. (aiōnios g166)

16 For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

Ngoba lapho okukhona incwadi yelifa, kufuneka ukuthi kubikwe ukufa komenzi wencwadi yelifa.

17 For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

Ngoba incwadi yelifa isebenza kwabafileyo, lokhu kayikabi lamandla lapho ephila umenzi wencwadi yelifa.

18 Whereupon neither the first [testament] was dedicated without blood.

Ngakho laso esokuqala kasimiswanga ngaphandle kwegazi.

19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

Ngoba lapho usumenyezelwe umthetho wonke ngokomlayo nguMozisi ebantwini bonke, wathatha igazi lamathole lelembuzi, kanye lamanzi loboya bezimvu obubomvu lehisope, wafafaza kokubili ugwalo uqobo labantu bonke,

20 Saying, This [is] the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

esithi: Leli ligazi lesivumelwano uNkulunkulu alilaya ngaso.

21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

Ngokunjalo wasefafaza ngegazi lethabhanekele lezitsha zonke zenkonzo.

22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Njalo phose zonke izinto zihlanjululwa ngegazi ngokomthetho, langaphandle kokuchitheka kwegazi kakubi khona uthethelelo.

23 [It was] therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

Ngokunjalo kwakudingeka ukuthi imifanekiso yezinto zemazulwini ihlanjululwe ngalezizinto, kodwa izinto zezulwini uqobo ngemihlatshelo engcono kulale.

24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

Ngoba uKristu kangenanga endaweni ezingcwele ezenziwe ngezandla, ezingumfanekiso weziqotho, kodwa ezulwini uqobo, ukuthi khathesi abonakalele thina phambi kobuso bukaNkulunkulu;

25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

kungeyisikuthi futhi ukuze azinikele kanengi, njengalokhu umpristi omkhulu engena endaweni engcwele umnyaka ngomnyaka legazi lokunye;

26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)

uba kwakunjalo wayemele ukuhlupheka kanengi selokhu kwasekelwa umhlaba; kodwa khathesi ubonakaliswe kanye ekupheleni kwesikhathi ukuze asuse izono ngomhlatshelo wakhe uqobo. (aiōn g165)

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Njalo njengalokhu kumiselwe abantu ukuthi bafe kanye, kodwa emva kwalokhu ukwahlulelwa;

28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

ngokunjalo uKristu, esenikelwe kanye ukuze athwale izono zabanengi, ngokwesibili uzabonakala ngaphandle kwesono kwabamlindeleyo, kube lusindiso.
