Hebrews 12
1 We [know about] many people like that [who showed they trusted in God]. They are like a crowd of spectators [who are cheering for us inside a stadium] [MET]. Knowing that, we must put away all the things that hinder us, [as a runner puts aside everything that would hinder him because they are heavy] [MET]. Especially we must put away sinful actions that [hinder us, as a runner] sets aside clothes he does not need, clothes that would entangle him [MET]. Let us [wholeheartedly strive to achieve what God has planned for us, as someone] in a race wholeheartedly runs the course that is before him [MET].
Ku lulo, ku nsoko kupilimikiigwe ni ilunde ikulu nila ahuiili, ni kugume kila ikintu ni kikuhumiiye palung'wi ni milandu nai iza ikugilinkiiye ku upepeele. Kukue i ntambo ku usumbiilyo mu wikilyi nai uikilwe ntongeela itu.
2 And let us [keep our minds on] Jesus, [as a runner] keeps his eyes on [the goal] [MET]. Jesus is the one we should imitate in the way he perfectly trusted [God. When he died on] the cross he endured it as he suffered greatly [MTY], instead of [thinking about the things he would] rejoice about [later]. He disregarded being disgraced by [dying that way]. He is now sitting at the place of highest honor [MTY] at the throne [where God rules].
Kumatunje i miho itu kung'wa Yesu, ni mandiilyi hangi munya kukondeelya u uhuiili nuitu, na iza ku nsoko a ulowa nu uikilwe ntongeela akwe ai uugimiiye ikonta nila mpaga, waze umeile i minyala akwe, hangi wakikie pihi a mukono nua kigoha nua ituntu ni likulyo nilang'wa Itunda.
3 [Jesus] patiently endured it when sinful people acted so hostilely against him. Try to act the way he did, so that you do not give up [trusting] God or become discouraged.
Ndogoelyo musigiili nuanso nai ugimilye i makani i ikuo kupuma ku anya milandu, kungwaakwe mukola iti kina muleke kukatala ang'wi kusha kisha mukanka inkolo nianyu.
4 While you have struggled against [being tempted to] sin, you have not yet bled [and died because of resisting evil, as Jesus did].
Mukili kunyomeka ang'wi kagisha muzikilya nu mulandu ngele a kuuilwa i sakami.
5 Do not forget [RHQ] these words [that Solomon spoke to his son, that are the same as God] would exhort you as his children: My child, pay attention [LIT] when the Lord is disciplining you, and do not be discouraged when the Lord punishes you [DOU],
Hangi miilwe uko kukinyilwa i nkolo naiza imutungilye anga ana a kigoha; “Ng'waane, leka kumahola ku upepeele i masukiilo a Mukulu, ang'wi muleke kuhung'wa ukata ni mukuhuguligwa nu ng'wenso.”
6 because it is everyone whom he loves whom the Lord disciplines, and he punishes everyone whom he accepts as his child.
Ku nsoko uMukulu wimusushaa wihi nai iza umuloilwe, nu kumupisiilya kila u ng'wana nai iza wimusingiilya.
7 It is in order that God may discipline you that he requires you to endure the disagreeable things [that happen to you]. [When God disciplines you] he is treating you as a father treats his children. All fathers [RHQ] discipline their children [LIT].
Gigimiilya i mageng'wa anga kusukilwa. Itunda witumilwa nu nyenye anga nuitumilwaa ni ana, ndogoelyo ingi ng'wana nu uli nai iza u tata nuakwe shanga uhumile kumususha?
8 So, if you have not experienced God disciplining you just like he disciplines all his other children, you are [not true children of God] [MET]. [You are like] illegitimate children; [no father disciplines them].
Kuiti anga ize kutili kusukigwa, kai iza usese kihi kuhanguie, iti gwa unyenye ingi mia kibudu hangi shanga ana akwe.
9 Furthermore, our natural fathers disciplined us [when we were young], and we respected them for doing that. So we should certainly more readily accept God our spiritual Father disciplining us, with the result that we live eternally [RHQ]!
Ikilo nila yihi, ai kukete i a tata itu nia kinyihi nai aku ususha, hangi ai kuakuiye. Itii shanga ikutakile ga ni ikilo kumukulya uTata nua kinkolo nu kikie?
10 Our natural fathers disciplined us for a short time in a way that they considered right, [but it wasn’t always right], but God always disciplines us [in a right way], to help us. He does it so that we may be holy as he is.
Ku kulu kuulu atata itu ai akupisiiye ku myaka misheenyu anga nai yigeelekile iziza kitalao, kuiti Itunda shanga wikupisiilya ku nsailo itu iti kihanguile u welu nuakwe.
11 During the time that God is disciplining us, that does not seem to be something about which we should rejoice. Instead, it is something that pains us. But later it causes those who have learned from it to be peaceful and to [live] righteously.
Kutili upisiiligwa nu uloeeye ku itungo nilanso. Witulaa nu uwai. Ga ni iti, panyambele witugaa nkali nia ulyuuku nua elu a nkolo ku awo nai amanyisigwe ni menso.
12 So, [instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted], renew yourselves [MET] spiritually.
Ku lulo nyansuli i mikono anyu ni itoile nu kutenda i malu anyu ni imbyoto kutula akete ingulu hangi;
13 Go straight forward [in your Christian life] [MET], in order that believers who are uncertain about their faith [will imitate you] and not ([leave God’s way/] useless [to God]) [MET]. Instead, they will be spiritually restored [MET] as an injured and useless limb is restored.
gooli u ukiilo nua upambatilyo nuanyu, iti kina wihi nuaile mulema shanga ukutongwa mu ulimili kuiti walije kugunika.
14 Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy.
Dumiili u ulyuuku ni antu ihi, ga nu welu nai anga ize shanga wuwo kutili nuikamihenga uMukulu.
15 Beware that none of you stops [trusting in] God, [who has done kind things for us that we did not deserve] (OR, Beware that you have never [experienced] God kindly [saving you]). Be on guard lest any of you [act in an evil way towards others], because your doing that will [grow like] [MET] a root [grows into a big plant], and the result [of your] doing that will be that many believers will sin and become unacceptable to God.
Mutule miakendegeeli iti kina waleke kutula ukoli nuikabagulwa kuli nu ukende nuang'wa Itunda, ni kina lileke kupembya itina ila uwai nilikategeta nu kusasha u lwago nu kupiula idu.
16 Do not let anyone be immoral, or be irreligious as Esau was. He exchanged the rights he had as a firstborn son for only one meal.
Ihengi kina kutili u ugoolya ang'wi muntu nishanga ng'welu anga u Esau, nai iza ku nsoko a ulyi ung'wi ai uguiye itai akwe na utuugwa.
17 You know that after he did that, he wanted to receive [what his father would promise to give him if] he blessed him. But [his father] was unable [to change what he had already done]. And Esau found no way to change things, even though he sought tearfully to do that.
Ku nsoko mulingile kina panyambele, nai uhumilwe i nsula a kusala u ukende, ai uhitilwe, ku nsoko shanga ai uligilye i lyoma nila kila itunu palung'wi nu tata nuakwe, ga ni iti ai udumila nangaluu ku liholi.
18 In coming [to God] you have not [experienced things like what the Israeli people experienced] at [Sinai] Mountain. [They] approached [a mountain that God told them they] should not touch. [They approached] a blazing fire, and it was gloomy and dark [DOU], and there was a hurricane/cyclone.
Ku nsoko shanga ai muzile mu lugulu naza uhumile ku kumpigwa, Lugulu nu wakie u moto, kiti, kihumya ukata nu kimpupu.
19 They heard a trumpet sounding and they heard [God] speak. The result was that those who heard it pleaded for God not to speak to them like that again.
Shanga ai mupembilye ku nduli nia akinembu, ang'wi ku makani napembeeye mu nduli nai iza isakilye kila niigulye aleke kulompa kihi kuligitigwa ni enso kitalao.
20 When [God] commanded them saying, “If [a person or] even an animal touches this mountain, [you] must [kill him/it by] throwing stones at him/it,” they were terrified.
Ku nsoko shanga ai ahumile kugimya iko nai kilamuwe; “Anga itule ga ni kikali ni kikumpya u lugulu kikuwe ku magwe.'
21 Truly, because Moses was terrified after seeing what happened [on the mountain], he said, “I am trembling because I am very afraid!”
Nika kitumba ikilo nai wihengile uMusa ai uligitilye, “Nitumbaa nangaluu ngele a kukagata.”
22 Instead, [it is as though] you have come to [the presence of God in heaven] [MET]. [That is like what your ancestors did when they came to worship] God on Zion Hill, in Jerusalem, in the city of God who is all-powerful. You have come (OR, you are coming) to where there are countless angels, who are rejoicing as they have gathered together.
Badala akwe, muzile mulugulu nula Sayuni nu mu kisali ni kang'wi Itunda ni mupanga, Yerusalemu na kilunde, nu ku a malaika magana a nzogu ikumi nia kuina.
23 You have joined all the believers [who have privileges like] firstborn sons, whose names [God] has written down in heaven. You have come to God, who will judge everyone. You have come to where the spirits of God’s people are, people who lived righteously [before they died], and who now have been made perfect [in heaven].
Muzile mu milundo nua atugwaa ang'wandyo ihi nai asagiie kilunde, kung'wa Itunda ni mulamuli nua ihi, nu ku nkolo nia elu naza akondaniiligwa.
24 You have come to Jesus, who arranged a new covenant [between us and God]. You have accepted [what he accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died on the cross. His doing that made it possible for God to forgive us]. That is better than the blood of Abel, [who just] wanted revenge because his brother Cain murdered him.
Muzile kung'wa Yesu ni muhungi nu ilago niziila, nu kusakami nai iminzilwe nai iza iganulwa iziza ikilo kukila i sakami ang'wa Habili.
25 Beware that you do not refuse to listen to [God] who is speaking to you. The Israeli people did not escape [God punishing them] when [Moses] (OR, [God]) warned them here on earth. So we shall surely not escape [God punishing us] if we reject him when he warns us from heaven! [RHQ]
Goza kina uleke kumuhita ung'wi nai iza wiligitya. Ku nsoko anga ize shanga ahugile nai amuhugile ung'wi nai uahugue mi ihi, ku kulu kuulu shanga ku uhuga anga itule kupiluka kuli kupuma kung'wa uyo nui kuhugula kupuma kilunde.
26 The earth shook [PRS] then when he spoke [MTY] [at Sinai Mountain]. But now he has promised, “I will shake the earth again, one more time, but I will shake heaven too.”
Ku itungo nilanso u luli nulakwe ai ligigwe mihi. Kuiti itungili ulagile nu kutambula, “Ikili nkua ingiiza hangi shanga kuhingisa ihi ing'wene duu, ila ni ilunde ga.”
27 The words “again, one more time” indicate that things [on earth] will be shaken {that [he] will shake things [on earth]}, meaning that he will set aside all that [he] has created, in order that the things [in heaven] that cannot be shaken {that nothing can shake} may remain forever.
Makani aya, “Nkua ing'wi hangi,” ikulagiila kulimiligwa ku intu izo ni ikagatigwa, izi ingi, intu izo nai iza iumbilwe, iti kina intu izo nishanga i kagatigwa isagiile.
28 So, let us thank God that we are becoming members of a kingdom that nothing can shake. Let us worship/serve God in a way that pleases him by being greatly in awe [DOU] before him.
Ku lulo, kusingiilye u utemi naiza shanga wikagatigwa, kiloeelye mu hali a kumukulya Itunda ku kumugomba palung'wi nu kutuna pihi mu ikulyo.
29 Remember that the God we [worship/serve] is like a fire that burns up everything [that is impure] [MET]!
Ku ndogoelyo Itunda nuitu ingi moto nuiliza.
