Hebrews 10
1 For the Law hauing the shadowe of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can neuer with those sacrifices, which they offer yeere by yeere continually, sanctifie the commers thereunto.
Ngoba umlayo ulesithunzi sezinto ezinhle ezizayo, ungeyisiwo umfanekiso oqotho wezinto, ungeze waba lamandla ngaleyomihlatshelo enikelwa njalonjalo iminyaka ngeminyaka ukubenza baphelele labo abasondelayo.
2 For would they not then haue ceased to haue bene offered, because that the offerers once purged, should haue had no more conscience of sinnes?
Uba kwakunjalo nga kayimanga yini ukunikelwa, ngoba abakhonzayo babengasayikuba lasazela sezono, sebehlanjululwe kanye?
3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance againe of sinnes euery yeere.
Kodwa kuleyomihlatshelo kukhona ukukhunjulwa kwezono umnyaka ngomnyaka;
4 For it is vnpossible that the blood of bulles and goates should take away sinnes.
ngoba kakulakwenzeka ukuthi igazi lezinkunzi lelezimbuzi lisuse izono;
5 Wherefore when he commeth into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offring thou wouldest not: but a body hast thou ordeined me.
ngakho esefika emhlabeni uthi: Umhlatshelo lomnikelo kawuwuthandanga, kodwa ungilungisele umzimba;
6 In burnt offerings, and sinne offrings thou hast had no pleasure.
iminikelo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo yesono kawuyithokozelanga;
7 Then I sayd, Lo, I come (In the beginning of the booke it is written of me) that I should doe thy will, O God.
ngasengisithi: Khangela, ngiza (kumqulu wogwalo kulotshwe ngami) ukwenza intando yakho, Nkulunkulu.
8 Aboue, when he sayd, Sacrifice and offring, and burnt offrings, and sinne offrings thou wouldest not haue, neither hadst pleasure therein (which are offered by the Lawe)
Kuqala esithi: Umhlatshelo lomnikelo leminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yezono kawuyithandanga njalo kawuyithokozelanga, yona enikelwa ngokomlayo,
9 Then sayd he, Lo, I come to doe thy wil, O God, he taketh away the first, that he may stablish the second.
wasesithi: Khangela, ngiza ukwenza intando yakho, Nkulunkulu. Ususa okokuqala, ukuze amise okwesibili.
10 By the which wil we are sanctified, euen by the offring of the body of Iesus Christ once made.
Kuleyontando singcwelisiwe, ngokunikelwa komzimba kaJesu Kristu kanye.
11 And euery Priest standeth dayly ministring, and oft times offreth one maner of offring, which can neuer take away sinnes:
Laye wonke umpristi kambe uyema insuku ngensuku ekhonza, njalo enikela kanengi leyomihlatshelo, engasoze yaba lamandla okususa izono;
12 But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sinnes, sitteth for euer at the right hand of God,
kodwa yena, esenikele umhlatshelo waba munye ngenxa yezono ephakadeni wahlala phansi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu,
13 And from hencefoorth tarieth, till his enemies be made his footestoole.
kusukela khathesi ulindele zize zenziwe izitha zakhe isenabelo senyawo zakhe.
14 For with one offering hath he consecrated for euer them that are sanctified.
Ngoba ngomnikelo munye uphelelisile ephakadeni labo abangcwelisiweyo.
15 For the holy Ghost also beareth vs record: for after that he had sayd before,
LoMoya oyiNgcwele laye uyafakaza kithi; ngoba emva kokuthi esetshilo kuqala uthi:
16 This is the Testament that I will make vnto them after those dayes, sayth the Lord, I wil put my Lawes in their heart, and in their mindes I will write them.
Lesi yisivumelwano engizavumelana labo ngaso emva kwalezonsuku, kutsho iNkosi: Ngizafaka imilayo yami enhliziyweni zabo, njalo ngizayibhala engqondweni zabo;
17 And their sinnes and iniquities will I remember no more.
lezono zabo lobubi babo kangisoze ngikukhumbule futhi.
18 Nowe where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for sinne.
Lapho-ke okukhona uthethelelo lwalokhu, kakuselamnikelo ngesono.
19 Seeing therefore, brethren, that by the blood of Iesus we may be bolde to enter into the Holy place,
Ngakho, bazalwane, silesibindi sokungena kwezingcwele ngegazi likaJesu,
20 By the newe and liuing way, which hee hath prepared for vs, through the vaile, that is, his flesh:
ngendlela entsha lephilayo, asivulele yona ngeveyili, eliyinyama yakhe,
21 And seeing we haue an hie Priest, which is ouer the house of God,
futhi silaye umpristi omkhulu phezu kwendlu kaNkulunkulu,
22 Let vs drawe neere with a true heart in assurance of faith, our hearts being pure from an euill conscience,
kasisondele ngenhliziyo eqinisileyo ekuqinisekeni okupheleleyo kokholo, inhliziyo zifafazwe esazeleni sokubi, lomzimba ugeziswe ngamanzi acwebileyo;
23 And washed in our bodies with pure water, let vs keepe the profession of our hope, without wauering, (for he is faithfull that promised)
kasibambisise isivumo sethemba lethu singanyikinyeki, ngoba uthembekile owathembisayo;
24 And let vs consider one another, to prouoke vnto loue, and to good workes,
njalo kasiqaphelisisane ekuvuseleni uthando lemisebenzi emihle,
25 Not forsaking the fellowship that we haue among our selues, as the maner of some is: but let vs exhort one another, and that so much the more, because ye see that the day draweth neere.
singayekeli ukuhlangana kwethu, njengomkhuba wabanye, kodwa kasikhuthale, futhi ikakhulu, njengoba libona usuku lusondela.
26 For if we sinne willingly after that we haue receiued and acknowledged that trueth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sinnes,
Ngoba uba sisona ngabomo emva kokuthi semukele ulwazi lweqiniso, kakusekho umhlatshelo ngezono,
27 But a fearefull looking for of iudgement, and violent fire, which shall deuoure the aduersaries.
kodwa ukulindela okuthile okwesabekayo kokulahlwa, lolaka lomlilo ozaqeda izitha.
28 He that despiseth Moses Law, dieth without mercy vnder two, or three witnesses:
Umuntu odelela umlayo kaMozisi ufa ngaphandle kwesihawu ngabafakazi ababili loba abathathu;
29 Of howe much sorer punishment suppose ye shall hee be worthy, which treadeth vnder foote the Sonne of God, and counteth the blood of the Testament as an vnholy thing, wherewith he was sanctified, and doeth despite the Spirit of grace?
pho, licabanga ukuthi uzathiwa ufanele ukujeziswa kabuhlungu kanganani onyathelela phansi iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, njalo othi igazi lesivumelwano, angcweliswa ngalo, liyiluthonje, njalo odelela uMoya womusa?
30 For we know him that hath sayd, Vengeance belongeth vnto mee: I will recompense, saith the Lord. And againe, The Lord shall iudge his people.
Ngoba siyamazi owathi: Impindiselo ngeyami, mina ngizabuyisela, itsho iNkosi; futhi uphinde athi: INkosi izakwahlulela abantu bayo.
31 It is a fearefull thing to fall into the hands of the liuing God.
Kuyesabeka ukuwela ezandleni zikaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
32 Nowe call to remembrance the dayes that are passed, in the which, after ye had receiued light, ye endured a great fight in afflictions,
Kodwa khumbulani insuku zamandulo, okwathi ngazo selikhanyisiwe lakhuthazela empini enkulu yezinhlupho;
33 Partly while yee were made a gazing stocke both by reproches and afflictions, and partly while ye became companions of them which were so tossed to and from.
kokunye, lapho lenziwa umbukiso ngenhlamba langezinhlupheko; kokunye, lapho laba ngabahlanganyeli balabo ababephathwa ngokunjalo.
34 For both ye sorowed with mee for my bonds, and suffered with ioy the spoyling of your goods, knowing in your selues howe that ye haue in heauen a better, and an enduring substance.
Ngoba lani lazwelana lezibopho zami, lavuma ngentokozo ukuphangwa kwempahla zenu, lisazi ukuthi ngaphakathi kwenu lilempahla engcono lemiyo emazulwini.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward.
Ngakho lingalahli isibindi senu, esilomvuzo omkhulu.
36 For ye haue neede of patience, that after ye haue done the will of God, ye might receiue the promise.
Ngoba kumele libe lokubekezela, ukuze kuthi, seliyenzile intando kaNkulunkulu, lemukele isithembiso.
37 For yet a very litle while, and hee that shall come, will come, and will not tary.
Ngoba kuseyisikhatshana nje, ozayo uzafika, njalo kazukulibala;
38 Nowe the iust shall liue by faith: but if any withdrawe himselfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.
kodwa olungileyo uzaphila ngokholo; njalo uba ehlehlela emuva, umphefumulo wami kawuthokozi ngaye.
39 But we are not they which withdrawe our selues vnto perdition, but follow faith vnto the conseruation of the soule.
Kodwa thina kasisibo balabo abahlehlela emuva ekubhujisweni, kodwa balabo abakholwa ekusindisweni komphefumulo.
