Hebrews 3
1 My fellow believers, [God] has set you apart and has chosen you, just like he chose me. So consider Jesus. [He is God’s] messenger to us. He is also the Supreme Priest whom we say we believe in.
Achalongo achinjangu, ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu, ŵammilanjikwe ni Akunnungu, mwaganichisye Che Yesu kwannope jwatumikwe ni Akunnungu aŵe Jwambopesi Jwankulu jwa chikulupi chitukusala kwa kang'wa syetu kuti tukuchikulupilila.
2 He faithfully [served God], who appointed him, just like Moses faithfully [served] God’s people [MTY].
Jwelejo jwaliji jwakukulupichika paujo pa Akunnungu juŵammisile kupanganya masengo gao, mpela ila che Musa iŵatite kukulupilichika mu kwatumichila ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵaŵaŵilanjikwe nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
3 Just like every house is made by someone {as someone makes every house}, Jesus made everything, and he is God/Divine. So God has considered that Jesus is worthy [that people honor] him more than they honor Moses, just like the one who builds a house deserves that people honor him more than they should honor the house [he built].
Mundu jwakutaŵa nyuumba akuchimbichikwa kujipunda nyuumba jisyene. Iyoyo Che Yesu akuŵajilwa kuchimbichikwa kwapunda che Musa.
Pakuŵa nyuumba jajilijose jikutaŵikwa ni mundu, nambo Akunnungu ni ŵaipangenye indu yose.
5 Moses very faithfully [served God as he] ([helped/cared for]) [MET] God’s people, just like a servant [faithfully serves his master]. The result was that Moses testified about what Jesus would say later.
Che Musa jwaliji katumetume jwakukulupilichika mu kwatumichila ŵandu ŵa Isilaeli ŵaŵaŵilanjikwe nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Kuti aŵalanje umboni wa aila indu yakaisasile Akunnungu kanyuma.
6 But Christ [faithfully serves God as he] ([helps/cares for]) his own people [MTY, MET], just like a [son helps/cares for his own family]. And we are God’s people [MTY] if we continue to confidently [believe in Christ] and if we continue to confidently wait for [what God will do for us].
Nambo Kilisito ali jwakukulupilichika nti Mwana, jwakwimilila nyuumba ja Akunnungu, nyuumba ja Akunnungu jo jili uweji, iŵaga chitujendechele kwima pangali woga ni pangali kupwa ntima mu chilolelo chitukuchilolela.
7 The Holy Spirit [caused the Psalmist to write these words in the Scriptures to the Israelites]: Now, when you [(pl)] hear God speaking to you [MTY],
Kwa yeleyo, mpela yakuti kusala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, “Lelo mwapilikanaga Akunnungu achiŵechetaga ni ŵanyamwe,
8 do not stubbornly ([disobey/refuse to] obey [him]) [IDM], [as your Jewish ancestors stubbornly disobeyed him] when they rebelled against [him] in the desert. [At that time, God said to your ancestors], “They tried to determine how many [things that displeased me they could do] in the desert [without me punishing them].
nkajilimbisya mitima jenu mpela achambuje ŵenu, paŵakanile kunyitichisya, katema paŵaningaga mwipululu.
9 Your ancestors repeatedly tested [whether I would be patient with them, even though] for 40 years they saw all the amazing things I did.
Kweleko achambuje ŵenu ŵaninjile ni kumbima, namuno ŵagaweni masengo gangu yaka alobaini.
10 So, I became disgusted with those people who saw those things, and I said [about them], ‘They are constantly disloyal to me, and they do not understand how I [wanted them] to conduct their lives.’
Kwa liwamba lyo nautumbilile uŵelesi wo ni natite, ‘Moŵa gose ŵandu ŵa, nganisyo syao silyungasiche, nombewo nganagamanyilila kose matala gangu.’
11 As a result, because I was angry with them, I solemnly declared, ‘They will not enter [the land of Canaan] where I would let them rest [MTY]!’”
Kwa liwamba lyo nalumbilile mu lutumbilo lwangu kuti, ‘Ngaajinjila ng'o mu chipumulilo changu.’”
12 So, my fellow believers, be careful that none of you is so evil that you stop trusting [in Christ]. That would cause you to reject God who is all-powerful.
Nipele, nlilolechesye achalongo achinjangu, akapagwa mundu jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe jwali ni ntima wangalumbana wangaukukulupilila, ni kwakana Akunnungu ŵajumi.
13 Instead, each of you must encourage each other every day, while [you still have] the opportunity [IDM], in order that none of you may stubbornly [reject God] by [letting others] deceive you (OR, as you deceive yourselves), [with the result that] you [(sg)] sin [PRS].
Nambo pankupunda kupilikana liloŵe lyo “Lelo” lili nkusomekwa Mmalembo ga Akunnungu, ntusyane mitima moŵa gose kuti jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe akasalambuchikwa ni sambi ni kuŵa jwamakani.
14 [We must encourage one another], because we [(inc)] benefit from [all] Christ [has done] only if we firmly keep trusting [in him] from the time when we first confidently [trusted in him] until [the time when] we die [EUP].
Pakuŵa uweji tukukamulangana ni Kilisito iŵaga tukuchikamulisya mwakulimbila chilolelo chitwakwete kutandilila kundanda cho mpaka kumbesi.
15 [We can do this] by paying attention to [what the Psalmist wrote in that Scripture passage in which] God said, Now, when you hear me speaking [to you(pl)] [MTY], do not stubbornly disobey me as [your ancestors stubbornly disobeyed me] when they rebelled [against me].
Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, “Lelo mwapilikanaga Akunnungu ali nkuŵecheta, nkajilimbisya mitima jenu mpela achambuje ŵenu iŵatite kupanganya paŵakanile kunyitichisya.”
16 ([You must keep trusting in God] because you must remember who it was who rebelled against God although they heard him speaking to them./Do you remember who it was who rebelled against God although they heard [him speaking to them]?) [RHQ] It was people who had certainly experienced [LIT] God’s power. It was all those people whom Moses led miraculously out of Egypt. [RHQ]
Ana ŵaani ŵaŵapilikene Akunnungu ali nkuŵecheta ni kukana kunjitichisya? Ngaŵa aŵala wose ŵaŵalongweswe ni che Musa kutyochela ku Misili?
17 And ([you must remember] who it was that God was disgusted with for 40 years./do you [remember] who it was that God was disgusted with for 40years?) [RHQ] It was those same people who had sinned like that, and who as a result died in the desert! [RHQ]
Sooni ana ŵaani ŵaŵantumbilisye Akunnungu yaka alobaini? Ali ŵandu ŵaŵatesile sambi, ni mitembo jao jajenele mwipululu.
18 And ([you must remember] about whom God solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I would let them rest.”/do you [remember] about whom [God] solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I [would let them] rest”?) [RHQ] It was those Israelites who disobeyed God.
Sooni Akunnungu paŵalumbile ni kuti, “Ngaajinjila mu chilambo changu ni kupata chipumulilo changu,” ŵaasalilaga ŵaani? Ali ŵelewo ŵanganajitichisya.
19 So, from that example we [(inc)] realize that it was because they did not keep trusting [in God] that they were unable to enter [the land where they would rest].
Nipele tukuwona kuti ŵelewo nganapakombola kwinjila mu chilambo cho, ligongo nganakulupilila.
