Hebrews 8
1 The main point of [all] that [I] have written is that we have a Supreme Priest like that. He has sat down to rule [MTY] with God [EUP] at the place of greatest honor in heaven.
Cintu cinene ncotulambanga pano nici, afwe tukute Shimilumbo Mukulene uyo wekala kucikasa cakululyo kwa Cipuna ca Bwami ca Lesa mubulemeneno kwilu.
2 He ministers in the Most Holy Place, that is, in the true place [of worship in heaven]. That is a place that [Moses’] tent [represented]. The Lord set up the true place of worship. No human [set it up].
Lasebensenga eti Shimilumbo Mukulene mu Musena Waswepeshesha, mu tente yancinencine yabula kwibakwa ne makasa abantu, nsombi yalebakwa ne Mwami mwine.
3 Every Supreme Priest was appointed {[God] appointed every Supreme Priest} to offer [to God] gifts and sacrifices [for people who sinned]. So, since [Christ became a Supreme Priest], he also had to offer something.
Incito ya Shimilumbo Mukulene uliyense ni yakutwala milumbo yabanyama ne bipo nabimbi kuli Lesa, neco neye Shimilumbo Mukulene wetu wela kuba ne cintu cakubenga.
4 Since there are already [Jewish] priests who offer gifts as God’s laws [require], if Christ were [now living] on the earth, he would not be a Supreme Priest.
Nacili pano pa cishi, nalabula kubapo Shimilumbo sobwe, pakwinga mpobali beshimilumbo bakute kubenga bipo byasuminishiwa ne Milawo ya Mose.
5 The [Jewish] priests perform rituals which are only a model [DOU] of [what Christ would do in heaven] [MTY]. What [God] told Moses when Moses was about to set up the tent [for worshipping him supports the idea that those rituals were only a model. God said], “Be sure that you [(sg)] make everything according to the model that I showed you on [Sinai] Mountain!”
Incito njobakute kusebensa beshimilumbo aba ni cinkoshanya nambi mufunsha wa bintu bili kwilu. Celana ne ncalikuba Mose. Mpwalikuyanda kwibaka Tente ya Lesa walamwambileti, “Ubambe ndendende mbuli ncewalaleshiwa pa mulundu.”
6 But now as it is, [Christ] ministers in a more excellent way [than the Jewish priests do]. Likewise, the [new] covenant that he established [between God and people] is better [than the old one. When the new covenant was established] {[God established the new covenant]}, he promised us better things [than the laws that God gave Moses did].
Nomba lino, Yesu lapewa ncito ya bushimilumbo yapita yabo, mbuli cipangano Lesa ncalabamba pakati palyendiye ne bantu ncecapitapo kwina, apa epebakwa bipangano a bintu byaina.
7 If that first covenant had been perfectly adequate [LIT], God would not have thought that he needed another [covenant/agreement to replace it]. But [it was not adequate, so he needed a new one].
Cipangano citanshi ne calikubula kampenda, nshinga nepalabula kuyandika kwa cipangano nacimbi.
8 Because God declared [that the Israelites] were guilty [of not obeying the first covenant, he wanted a new covenant. This is what] ([a prophet/Jeremiah]) [wrote about that]: The Lord says, “Listen! There will soon be a time when I will make a new covenant with the people [MTY] of Israel and the people [MTY] of Judah.
Nomba Lesa walacaneti bantu bakendi bakute kampenda, pakwambeti, Mwami lambangeti, “Mumasuba alesanga ninkabambe cipangano calinolino ne Baislayeli kayi ne bamukowa wa Yuda.
9 That covenant will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I led them out of Egypt [MET] [like a father leads a child] by the hand. They did not continue to [obey] my covenant, so I rejected them,” says the Lord.
Nteti cikabeti cipangano ncendalapangana ne bamashali babo pabusuba busa mpondalabamanta pa cikasa cakame ne kubafunya mu Injipito. Nkabali kuba bashomeka kucipangano ncendalapangana nabo. Nenjame ndiyawa kushako mano”
10 “This is the covenant that I will make with the Israelites [MTY], after [the first covenant has ended] [MTY],” says the Lord: “I will enable them to understand my laws [MTY], and I will enable them to obey them (OR, truly know them) [MTY] sincerely. I will be their God, and they will be my people [DOU].
Lelo Mwami lambangeti, “Ici ecipangano ncendapangananga ne Baislayeli mu masuba alesanga. Ninkabike Milawo yakame mu miyeyo yabo kayi ninkailembe mumyoyo yabo. Ninkabe Lesa wabo nabo nibakabe bantu bakame.”
11 [As a result], no one will [need to] teach a fellow citizen or tell his fellow kinsmen, ‘[You need to] know the Lord,’ because all [my people] will know me: [My people] of every status [will know me].
“Paliya eshakayishe muntu munendi sobwe, nambi kwambila munendi eti, komwishiba Lesa. Pakwinga bonse nibakanjishibe kutatikila ku kanike kushika ku mukulene.
12 I will mercifully [forgive them for] the wicked things they have done. I will no longer [consider] that [they are guilty for] [DOU] [their] sins.”
Ninkabalekelele bwipishi bwabo kayi nteti nkanukepo cilubo cabo.”
13 Since God spoke about a new [covenant], he considered that the first [covenant] was no longer in use, and that it would soon disappear, just like [anything that] gets old [will disappear] [MET, DOU].
Lino Lesa pakwamba sha Cipangano calinolino, ekwambeti cipangano ca kaindi cilabongosoko, kayi cintu ciliconse cacekula ne kubongosoka cilipepi kushimangana.
