Hebrews 12
1 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,
Chobulyo, mukuti tuzimbulukitwe ikope lyachisi chepaki zingi, tusiye kumbali zonse zintu zitulemena ni chive china hafuhi naswe. Linu tutiye lubilo chekulonde ibikitwe habunsu bwetu.
2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Tutokomele fela za Jesu, mutangi ni mulukisi wetumelo. Kakusanga kubabikitwe hasu bwakwe, naliwongoza hachifapano, kuhita maswbisa acho, hape na kekala hachihuna chalubona lwa Ireeza.
3 For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.
Linu muzeze, iye yabaliwongozi mukulwiswa kuzwa kubatendi bachive balwisana naye, Mukuti kanji mwizilwa kukatala munkulo zenu ni kusiya.
4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
Kanamubeni kukana kapa kulwila kulwisa chive mbwiteli kuzwa malaha.
5 You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
Hape chimwazibala insusuwezo imieleza kuti mubana: “Mwanangu, kanjiuzezi kabuhuba ikalimelo ya Simwine, nandi kukatala haiba nakusikulula.”
6 for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
Mukuti Simwine ukalimela bonse basuni, mi uha ikoto kuyese mwana yatambula.
7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?
Mutundamene mukunyando sina mukalimelwa. Ireeza umitenda sinamubana. Kana kwina mwana yasa kalimelwa ni besi?
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
Kono haiba kamukalimelwa, kubaliabela bantu bonse, linuaho mubana bamulyani kamubakwe,
9 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
Kuwelaho, tubena beshetu bamunyama babali bakalimeli, imi tubali kubakuteka. Linuaho mutukangwe bule kukuteka Ishetu wehuho kuti tuhale?
10 For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
Mukuti chenzila yimwi, Beshetu batukalimela mumazuba alikene aboneka nenza kubali. Kono munzila yimwi, Ireeza ututendabulyo mukuti tuwana bulotu bwakuliyabela mukujolola kwakwe.
11 All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Kakwina ikalimelo iboneka bulotu mweyo inako, kono isasama. Nihakwinabulyo kumamaninizo ibika zihantu zekozo yakuluka kwabana babalutwa bulyo.
12 Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
Chobulyo mukoze mayaza enu adengelele ni mazwi enu akatele.
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
Mupangile matende enu inzila ziwolekete, mukuti lichukuta kete nilisikuke kono mulihozwe.
14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,
Mutundamene kuhala chekozo ni muntu umwi ni umwi, mi hape ni kunjolola haiba kakwinabulyo kakwina yense nabone Simwine.
15 looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,
Mutokomele kokuti kanjinikubi ni yetenabule chisemo che Ireeza, nikuti kakwina muhisi wina bubilala wete niukule kuleta bukabo, mukuti bangi kanji basinywa nawo.
16 lest there be any sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
Mutokomele kuti kanji kuwaniki buhule kapa muntu yasayendi munzila ye Ireeza sina nji Isau, iye yabati kamulalilo umwina abawuzi bukulwana bwakwe.
17 For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
Mi mwizi kuti kuzwaho, halakaza kuyola imbuyoti, abakaninwa, kakuli kana abawani chibaka chakubaka, nihabananisi kazinsozi.
18 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,
Mukuti kanamubezi kwirundu liwolwa kukwatwa, irundu lyamulilo ubbukuka, kelima, kasihwe, ni liñungwa.
19 the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,
Kanamubezi kutolombita ilila, nandi inzwi liwamba kwabo bazuwile mbwiteli kwabo batekeleze kutakuti musiye isinyi limwi izwi musiye.
20 for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.
Kakukuli kana babakuwola kutundamena itayelo ibabahelwe; “Haiba kuti chinyolozi hachikuma irundu, chiyelele kupwacholwa,
21 So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
“Chebaka lyakutiza hahulu kwecho chibabaka Mushe nati, “Nisuhite mane ni chachalika.”
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,
Nihakwinabulyo, “mubezi kwi Lundu lya Siyone ni kumuleneni uhala we Ireeza, Jerusalema wakwiwulu, hape ni kumangiloi achita zikitikiti asangite.
23 to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Mubezi kukopano yabana bentazi, abo babañolwa mumbuka yakwiwulu. Mubezi kwe Ireeza, Muatuli wazonse, ni huho zabazakulukite babapangiwa balukite.
24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.
Imi mubezi kwa Jesu, musikululi wetumelelano inhya, ni malaha asanseletwe a wamba kuhita malaha a Abele.
25 See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
Mubone kuti kamukani yokwete kuwamba. Mukuti haiba kana babawoli kubanduka habakana uzo yababakalimeli mukanda, naswe ketenituwole kubanduka haiba nitusandukila iye yokalimela kuzwilila kwiwulu.
26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.”
Mwinako yimwi, Izwi lyakwe libanyungi ikanda. Kono hanu abahi isepiso mi nati, “Munako yimwi ketenininyunge fela ikanda, kono mane ni mawulu akwiwulu.”
27 This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
Aa manzwi, “Inako yimwi,” utalusa kuzwisa zimwi zintu ziwolwa kunyungwa, njikuti, kwezi zintu zibabumbitwe, kokuti zimwi zisanyungwa kazishale.
28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
Chobulyo, kutambula mubuso usanyanganiswa, tulitumele imi chiyi inzila tulumbeke Ireeza chekute ni kukomokwa.
29 for our God is a consuming fire.
Mukuti Ireeza wentu mulilo uhisa.
