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.
Mobanse betu omwaswepa kayi omwalakwiwa ne Lesa, kamuyeyanga sha Yesu walatumwa kwambeti abe Shimilumbo Mukulene wa lushomo ndotulasuminishinga.
2 He faithfully [served God], who appointed him, just like Moses faithfully [served] God’s people [MTY].
Walikuba washomeka kuli Lesa uyo walamusaleti asebense ncito iyi, mbuli Mose ncalashomeka mu ncito ya mung'anda ya Lesa
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].
Muntu lebakanga ng'anda ukute kupewa bulemu kupita ng'anda njalebakanga. Neco Yesu walemekwa kupita Mose.
Nicakubinga ng'anda ikute kwibakwa ne muntu, nomba Lesa eukute kwibaka bintu byonse.
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.
Mose walashomeka mu ncito ya mung'anda ya Lesa, kayi walikwamba ibyo Lesa mbyalikuyanda kwamba kuntangu.
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].
Nomba Klistu Mwanendi Lesa washomeka mukwendelesha ng'anda ya Lesa. Uku ekwambeti njafwe ng'anda ya Lesa na tubula buyowa ne kuba bashinisha mukupembelela kwetu.
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],
Neco mbuli Mushimu Uswepa ncolambangeti, “Na lelo munyumfwa liswi lya Lesa,
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].
kamutayumisha myoyo mbuli ncebalensa ba mashali benu bakulukulu bushiku mbobalamubukila Lesa, mu cinyika mpobalamukalalisha Lesa.”
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.
Lesa walambeti; Balanjelekesha, nambi balabona ncendalabenshila mu byaka makumi ana.
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.’
Ecebo ncendalakalila ne kubambileti, nkababikako myoyo yabo kuli njame kayi balakananga ku konkela Milawo yakame.
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]!’”
Ndalakalala ne kulumbileti, nteti bakengilepo mumusena wakame wa kupumwina.
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.
Mobanse cetukani, kapataba muntu pakati penu ukute moyo waipa wabula lushomo, wela kumufunya kuli Lesa muyumi.
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].
Lino kwambeti mubule kumantwa ne bwipishi ne kuba bayuma myoyo, nyamfwanani umo ne munendi masuba onse ngomulambanga mu Mabala kwambeti “Lelo.”
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].
Pakwinga twense tobasebenshi banendi Klistu, na tupitilishowa kwikatisha lushomo mpaka kumapwilisho a buyumi bwetu.
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].
Mabala alambangeti, Na lelo munyumfwa liswi lya Lesa. Kamutayumisha myoyo mbuli ba mashali benu bakulukulu mpobalamubukila Lesa.
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]
Anu ni bantu cini balanyumfwa liswi lya Lesa, kayi ne kumubukila? Nibantu bonse mbwali kutangunina Mose pakubafunya mu Injipito.
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]
Inga nibani balakalalisha Lesa kwa byaka makumi ana? Ni bantu balikwipisha abo balafwila mu cinyika kayi bitumbi byabo byalashala mbwee mucinyika.
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.
Inga ni bani Lesa mbwalalumbilileti, “nteti bakengile mu cishi ncali kuyanda kubapeti bapumwininemo? Sena ntebamo bamo basa balamubukila?”
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].
Apa tulabono kwambeti calabalisha kwingila mu cishi cisa ni kubula lushomo.
