< 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].
Henu, kwa kujha tusyonghokibhu ni libhengu libhaha lya mashahidi na tutaghayi khila khenu kyakikatujhele mela pamonga ni dhambi ambajho jhikatusyonghoka kwa bhujhojhofu. Tujumbayi lubhelu kwa saburi mu masindanu ghaghabhekibhu palongolo pa jhoto.
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].
Tughalasijhi mihu gha jhotu kwa Yesu, jhaajhele mwanzilishi ni n'kolo kutimisya imani jha jhotu ambajhe kwa ndabha jha kuhobhoka jhaabhekibhu palongolo pa muene asindamela nsalaba ajhijimuili soni jha muene, na atamili pasi kibhoko kya kulia kya kiti kya enzi kya K'yara.
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.
Ndabha mun'tafakariajhi muene jha asindamele malobhi gha kudadisya kuhoma kwa bhenye dhambi, dhidi jha muene ili kwamba musihidi mkatonda au kusirika mioyo ghya muenga.
4 While you have struggled against [being tempted to] sin, you have not yet bled [and died because of resisting evil, as Jesus did].
Mlombosibhu lepi au kutesibhwa mwisindana ni dhambi kiasi kya kumalikibhwa damu.
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],
Kabhele mujhebhelili kule kupelibhwa muoyo ambako kukabhalasya kama bhana bhakigosi: “Mwanabhangu, usighatoli kwa bhujhojhofu makerebhukilu gha Bwana, bhwala usikati tamaa pawirekebisibhwa ni muene.”
6 because it is everyone whom he loves whom the Lord disciplines, and he punishes everyone whom he accepts as his child.
Kwa kujha Bwana akan'kerebhukila jhejhioha ambajhe an'ganilu, ni kun'tobha khila muana ambajhe akan'jhamb'el'ela.
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].
Sindamalayi majaribu kama kukerebhukibhwa. K'yara ishughulika namu kama kyaishughulika ni bhana, ndabha muana jholekhu ambajhe dadijhe ibhwesyalepi kun'kerebhukila?
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].
Lakini kama kujhelepi kukerebhukibhwa, ambako tete twebhoha twishiriki, basi muenga haramu na sio bhanamunu.
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]!
Zaidi jha ghoha, twajhele ni bha dadijhitu kidunia bhakutukerukila, na twabhaheshimuili. Je jhikatulondeka lepi nesu kun'tii Dadi ghwa kiroho ni kutama?
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.
Kwa hakika bha dadi jhitu bhatutobhili kwa miaka midebe kama kyajhabhonekene kinofu kwa bhene, lakini K'yara ikatutobha kwa faida jha tete ili tushirikiajhi bhutakatifu bhwa muene. Ijhelepi adhabu jha jhifurahisya kwa bhwakati obhu.
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.
Jhijha ni maumifu. Hata naha, baadajhe jhihogola litunda lya amani jha utauwa kwa bhala bhabhamanyisibhu nakhu.
12 So, [instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted], renew yourselves [MET] spiritually.
Henu mujhinulayi mabhoko gha ghatepetili ni kubhomba mafugumilu ghinu ghaghajhele dhaifu kujha ghaghajhele ni nghofu kabhele;
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.
Munyosiaghe map'etelu gha njayu sya muenga, ili kwamba jhejhioha jhaajhe ndemefu ibetalepi kulongosibhwa mu kujhesibhwa lakini abhwesyajhi kuponyesibhwa.
14 Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy.
Mulondayi amani ni bhanu bhoha, ni kabhele utakatifu ambabho bila obhu ajhelepi jhaibeta kumbona Bwana.
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.
Mujhiaghe bhaangalifu ili kwamba asijhi jhaibeta kubhekibhwa patali ni neema jha K'yara, ni kabhele lisihidi lishina lya bhuchungu lyalibetakutuka ni kusababisya malombosi ni kusitula bhamana.
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.
Mulangajhi kujha ijhelepi zinaa au munu jha abeli kujha mtauwa kama vile Esau, ambajhe kwa ndabha jha mlo umonga ahemelisi haki jha muene jha kuhogoleka.
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.
Kwa kujha mumanyili kujha baadajhe, bho inoghela kurithi baraka, abelekelibhu, kwa ndabha akabhilepi fursa jha kutubu pamonga ni dadi munu, hata ingawa alondili nesu kwa mahosi.
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.
Kwa kujha mwahidililepi mu kidonda ambakyo kibhwesya kukamulibhwa, kidonda kya kijhaka muoto, ngisi, kudumulibhwa muoyo ni mb'elu.
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.
Mwahidilepi kwa njueghu sya tarumbeta, au kwa malobhi ghaghitokana ni njueghu ambajho jhasababisi khila bhabhap'eliki bhasisomi lilobhi lyolyoha lelakujobhibhwa kwa bhene.
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.
Kwa kujha bhabhwesilepi kusindamala khela kyakyaamulibhu: “Ikajhiajhi hata mnyama jha ikamula kidonda, lazima atobhibhwayi kwa maganga.”
21 Truly, because Moses was terrified after seeing what happened [on the mountain], he said, “I am trembling because I am very afraid!”
Ghakutisya nesu gha aghabhuene Musa ajobhili, “Nitilili nesu kiasi kya kujhoghaniki”.
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 jhiake, muhidili pa kidonda Sayuni ni mu mji bhwa K'yara jha ajhe muomi, Yerusalemu jha kumbinguni, ni kwa malaika elfu kumi bhabhisherekela.
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].
Muhidili mu lukhomanu lya bhahogolenu bha kubhwandelu bhoha bhabhasajilibhu kumbinguni, kwa K'yara hakimu ghwa bhoha, ni roho sya bhatakatifu ambabho bhakamilisibhu.
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.
Muhidili kwa Yesu mpatanisi bhwa agano lipya, ni kwa damu jhajhinyunyisibhu ambajho jhijobha manofu matopu kuliko damu jha 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]
Langayi usihidi ukambela mmonga ambajhe ijobha. Kwa kujha kama bhajhepilepi pabhambelili mmonga jha abhaonyili paduniani, kwa bhukweli tubetalepi kujhepa ikajhiajhi tubeta kusanuka patali kuhoma kwa jhola jha ikatuonya kuhoma kummbinguni.
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.”
Kwa bhwakati obhu sauti jha muene jhahugunisi dunia. Lakini henu ahaidi ni kujobha, “Jhakona mara jhenge kabhele nibetalepi kuhugusya dunia jhiene, bali ni mbingu kabhele.”
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.
Malobhi agha, “Mara jhimonga kabhele,” jhilasya kubhosibhwa kwa fenu fela kabhele fyafilendemesya, efe ndo fenu fela ambavyo fibhombibhu, ili kwamba fenu fela fyafilendemesyalepi fibakilayi.
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.
Henu, tujhamb'el'elejhi bhufalme ambabho bhwilendemesya lepi, tuhobhokayi mu hali jha kumwabudu K'yara kwa kujhedekela pamonga ni kutangulila kwa e'khu,
29 Remember that the God we [worship/serve] is like a fire that burns up everything [that is impure] [MET]!
Kwa ndabha K'yara ghwa jhotu ndo muoto bhwa wilya.
