< Hebrews 3 >

1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of [the] heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,
Aboobo, nobakwesu basalala, anywebo muli aalukono mulwiito lwakujulu. Amuyeeye Jesu, mutumwa alimwi kali mupayizi mupati waluzumino lwesu.
2 who is faithful to him that has constituted him, as Moses also in all his house.
Wakalisyomekede kuli Leza, wakamusala, mbuli mbaakasyomekede alakwe Mozesi mung'anda ya Leza.
3 For he has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by how much he that has built it has more honour than the house.
Nkaambo Jesu wakajanika kali musalali abulemu bupati kwiinda bwa Mozesi, nkaambo ooyo uuyaka ng'anda ujana bulemu kwiinda ng'anda lwayo.
4 For every house is built by some one; but he who has built all things [is] God.
Nkaambo ang'anda ang'anda ilamuntu uyiyaka, pesi wakayaka zyoonse ngu Leza.
5 And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all his house, as a ministering servant, for a testimony of the things to be spoken after;
Kulilimbi bbazu, Mozesi wakali zyomekede mung'anda ya Leza yoonse. Walkali kaamboni aatala azintu zyalikuzowambulwa mulilya juunza.
6 but Christ, as Son over his house, whose house are we, if indeed we hold fast the boldness and the boast of hope firm to the end.
Pesi Kkilisito mwana mweendelezi wang'anda ya Lez. Tuli ng'anda yakwe, na twajatisya kubusichaamba bwesu akubotelwa mukusima kwesu.
7 Wherefore, even as says the Holy Spirit, To-day if ye will hear his voice,
Aboobo, zilimbuli mbawamba Muuya Uusalala uti: “Sunu na mwalimvwa jwi lyakwe
8 harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness;
mutayumyi myoyo yanu mbuli mulupapi, muchiindi chakusunkwa munkanda.
9 where your fathers tempted [me], by proving [me], and saw my works forty years.
Awa mpawo bamawuso nibaknodikpapila akundisunka lubo, alubo, mumyaaka makumi one bakabona nchito zyangu.
10 Wherefore I was wroth with this generation, and said, They always err in heart; and they have not known my ways;
Aboobo zyalane eelyo telyakandibotezya pe. Ndakati, 'Bakkede kabasweeka mumyoyo yabo. Tabana kuziba nzila zyangu.'
11 so I swore in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest.
Kulibiyo mbuli mbundakakonka mukunyema kwangu: 'Tabakoyonjila pe mukulykookezya kwangu.'”
12 See, brethren, lest there be in any one of you a wicked heart of unbelief, in turning away from [the] living God.
Amuchenjele, nobakwesu, kuchitila kuti akati kenu takubi naba omwe uyooba amoyo mubi wakutasyoma, moyo uuchija kuzwa kuli Leza uupona.
13 But encourage yourselves each day, as long as it is called To-day, that none of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
Pesi, amusungwaazyanie abuzuba, biyo kalitegwa ngu “sunu,” kuchitila kuti kutakabi akati kenu uyoyuma moyo nkaambo ka lweeno lwachibi.
14 For we are become companions of the Christ if indeed we hold the beginning of the assurance firm to the end;
Nkaambo twakaba balyidilani aKkilisito, tulijisi busichaamba busimide mulinguwe kuzwa kumatalikilo kuyosika kumamanino.
15 in that it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts, as in the provocation;
Aatala azeezi zyakaambwa kuti, “Sunu, na mwamvwa jwi lyakwe, mutayumyi moyo yenu, mbuli mulupapi.”
16 (for who was it, who, having heard, provoked? but [was it] not all who came out of Egypt by Moses?
Ngwani wakamvwa Leza mpawo wapapa? Teensi mbaabo boonse na bakazwa mu Ijipiti kabagwisigwa a Mozesi?
17 And with whom was he wroth forty years? [Was it] not with those who had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
Ngwani ngwaakanyemenede kwamyaaka makumi one? Teensi mbaabo bakabisya na, aabo nbalamitunta yakawida musokwe?
18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who had not hearkened to the word?
Nkulini nkwaakakonka kuti tabakoyonjila mukulyookezya kwakwe, na kakutali kuli aabo bakatamulemeka?
19 And we see that they could not enter in on account of unbelief; )
Alimwi tuli kubwene kuti tebakakonzya pe kunjila mukulyookezya kwakwe nkaambo kakutasyoma.
