< 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 g165)
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 g165)
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 g165)
Nomba ku Mwanendi, Lesa walambeti, “Obe Lesa, bwami bwakobe nteti bukapwe! Nukendeleshe bantu bakobe mubululami. (aiōn g165)
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?”
