< Hebrews 1 >
1 Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].
Mumasuba akunyuma Lesa walikwamba kubamashali betu tunkanda twingi kayi munshila shashiyana shiyana kupitila mubashinshimi.
2 But now when this final age [is beginning], God has communicated to us [just once] by means of what (his Son/the man who was also God) [said and did. God] appointed him in order that he would possess everything [that truly belongs to God. God also appointed] him in order that he would create the universe. (aiōn )
Nomba mucindi cino camapwililisho Lesa latwambilinga kupitila mu Mwanendi, ngwalasebensesha pa kulenga kwilu ne cishi ca panshi, kayi engwalasala kwambeti pa cindi ca mapwililisho bintu byonse bikabe byakendi. (aiōn )
3 He manifests God’s glory. He exactly represents [what God is like]. He (sustains everything by means of his powerful words. When he had [enabled people to be] freed from the [guilt of] their sins [MET], he sat down in heaven [EUP] [to rule] at the place of greatest honor [MTY] with God [MTY].
Kubekema kwa bulemuneno bwa Lesa kulabonekelenga mu Mwanendi, kayi ewakoshana ne Lesa, ewabikwabilila bintu byonse kupitila mumaswi akendi angofu. Mpwalatusambisha bwipishi walaya kwikala Kwilu kucikasa calulyo ca Bwami bwa Lesa.
4 By doing that, he [showed that he] was very much greater than the angels, to the extent that his relationship [MTY] [to God, as his Son], is more excellent than the relationship the angels [have to God].
Mwanendi Lesa nimukulene kupita bangelo, pakwinga lina ndyakute lyapita maina abangelo.
5 [We know that] because [in the Scriptures] no one [RHQ] ever reported that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son! Today I have declared to all that I am your Father [DOU]! And he said in another Scripture passage, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son [DOU].
Pakwinga kufumowa kaindi paliya mungelo Lesa ngwalambileti, “Njobe Mwaname lelo ame njame Baiso” Lesa uliya kwambilapo mungelo naba umo kwambeti, “Ninkabe Baishi neye nakabe Mwaname.”
6 And [we know his Son is greater than the angels because in] another [Scripture passage someone wrote this about God’s esteemed Son], when God was about to send him into the world: All God’s angels must worship him.
Nomba Lesa mpwalikutuma Mwanendi wakusomona pa cishi ca panshi walambeti, “Bangelo ba Lesa bonse bela kumukambilila”
7 [And in the Scriptures it is written that] someone said this about the angels: [God] makes the [angels] who serve him [to be changeable like] [MET] winds and flames of fire.
Nomba kwamba sha bangelo Lesa walambeti, “Nkute kusandula bangelo kuba lukupwe kayi nkute kusandula basebenshi bakendi kuba nsakamwenge sha mulilo.”
8 But on the other hand, [in the Scriptures it is written that God said] this to his Son: You [(sg)] who are [also] God will rule forever [MTY], and you will reign righteously over your kingdom [MTY]. (aiōn )
Nomba ku Mwanendi, Lesa walambeti, “Obe Lesa, bwami bwakobe nteti bukapwe! Nukendeleshe bantu bakobe mubululami. (aiōn )
9 You have loved [people’s] righteous [deeds] and you have hated [people’s] lawless [deeds]. So I, your God, have caused you to be more joyful [MTY] than anyone else.
Walasuna bululami ne kupela bwipishi. Neco ame Lesa wakobe, ndakusala ne kukupa bulemu bunene kupita banobe bonse ne kukunanika mafuta akondelesha.”
10 And [we also know that his Son is superior to angels because in the Scriptures the Psalmist wrote that] someone said to God’s Son, Lord, it was you who created the earth in the beginning. You also made [the rest of] the universe (OR, the [things in] the sky) [MTY].
Kayi Lesa walambeti, “Obe Mwami pakutanguna njobe walalenga cishi capanshi kayi ne makasa akobe walalenga kwilu.”
11 Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].
Ibi nibikapwe, nsombi obe nukabengaponga cindi conse. Byonse nibikakuluketi byakufwala.
12 You will dispose of them as one rolls up an [old] coat [before getting rid of it]. [Then], you will exchange [everything that is in the universe for what is new], as someone puts on a new garment [in exchange for an old garment] [SIM]. But you [are not like what you created]; You stay the same, and you live forever [LIT]!
Nukabipete pete pamo, eti munganjo. Kayi nibikashinte kubeti byakufwala. Nsombi amwe nkamushinti sobwe, nkamubelenge byaka byenu pakwinga buyumi bwenu nkabupu.
13 [We also know that his Son is superior to angels because no one ever stated] [RHQ] [in the Scriptures] that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], Sit [in the place of honor] next to me and rule with me [MTY] while I put all of your enemies completely under your control [MET]!
Lesa nkalambilapo umo wa bangelo kwambeti, “Ikala ku cikasa cakame ca lulyo mpaka nanshi nkakome balwani bakobe bakabe cakulyatapo myendo yakobe!”
14 The angels are [only] spirits who serve [God] [RHQ]. [God] sends them [to earth] in order to help those he has saved (OR, those whom he will save).
“Sena bangelo bonse nteyo mishimu ikute kutumwa ne Lesa kuya kusebensela bantu beti bakapuluke?”
