Hebrews 1
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hapo zamani, Mungu alisema na babu zetu mara nyingi kwa namna nyingi kwa njia ya manabii,
2 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)
lakini siku hizi za mwisho, amesema nasi kwa njia ya Mwanae. Yeye ndiye ambaye kwa njia yake Mungu aliumba ulimwengu na akamteua avimiliki vitu vyote. (aiōn g165)
3 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;
Yeye ni mng'ao wa utukufu wa Mungu, na mfano kamili wa hali ya Mungu mwenyewe, akiutegemeza ulimwengu kwa neno lake lenye nguvu. Baada ya kuwapatia binadamu msamaha wa dhambi zao, aliketi huko juu mbinguni, upande wa kulia wa Mungu Mkuu.
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Mwana ni mkuu zaidi kuliko malaika, kama vile jina alilopewa na Mungu ni kuu zaidi kuliko jina lao.
5 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?
Maana Mungu hakumwambia kamwe hata mmoja wa malaika wake: “Wewe ni Mwanangu; Mimi leo nimekuwa Baba yako.” Wala hakusema juu ya malaika yeyote: “Mimi nitakuwa Baba yake, naye atakuwa Mwanangu.”
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Lakini Mungu alipokuwa anamtuma Mwanae mzaliwa wa kwanza ulimwenguni, alisema: “Malaika wote wa Mungu wanapaswa kumwabudu.”
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Lakini kuhusu malaika, Mungu alisema: “Mungu awafanya malaika wake kuwa pepo, na watumishi wake kuwa ndimi za moto.”
8 But unto the Son [he saith], Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)
Lakini kumhusu Mwana, Mungu alisema: “Utawala wako ee Mungu, wadumu milele na milele! Wewe wawatawala watu wako kwa haki. (aiōn g165)
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, [even] thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Wewe wapenda uadilifu na kuchukia uovu. Ndiyo maana Mungu, Mungu wako amekuweka wakfu na kukumiminia furaha kubwa zaidi kuliko wenzako.”
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
Pia alisema: “Bwana, wewe uliumba dunia hapo mwanzo, mbingu ni kazi ya mikono yako.
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
Hizo zitatoweka, lakini wewe wabaki daima, zote zitachakaa kama vazi.
12 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.
Utazikunjakunja kama koti, nazo zitabadilishwa kama vazi. Lakini wewe ni yuleyule daima, na maisha yako hayatakoma.”
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Mungu hakumwambia kamwe hata mmoja wa malaika wake: “Keti upande wangu wa kulia, mpaka niwaweke adui zako chini ya miguu yako.”
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Malaika ni roho tu wanaomtumikia Mungu, na Mungu huwatuma wawasaidie wale watakaopokea wokovu.
