Hebrews 9
1 That fyrst tabernacle verely had ordinaunces and servynges of god and wordly holynes.
Agano la kwanza lilikuwa na taratibu zake za ibada na pia mahali patakatifu pa ibada palipojengwa na watu.
2 For there was a fore tabernacle made wherin was the candlesticke and the table and the shewe breed which is called wholy.
Palitengenezwa hema ambayo sehemu yake ya nje iliitwa Mahali Patakatifu. Humo mlikuwa na kinara cha taa, meza na mikate iliyotolewa kwa Mungu.
3 But with in the secode vayle was ther a tabernacle which is called holiest of all
Nyuma ya pazia la pili, kulikuwa na hema iliyoitwa Mahali Patakatifu Kupita Pote.
4 which had the golden senser and the arcke of the testamet overlayde round about with golde wherin was the golden pot with manna and Aarons rodde that spronge and the tables of the testament.
Humo mlikuwa na madhabahu ya dhahabu kwa ajili ya kufukizia ubani, na Sanduku la Agano, ambalo lilikuwa limepakwa dhahabu pande zote, na ndani yake mlikuwa na chungu cha dhahabu kilichokuwa na mana; fimbo ya Aroni iliyokuwa imechanua majani, na vile vibao viwili vilivyoandikwa agano.
5 Over the arcke were the cherubis of glory shadowynge the seate of grace. Of which thynges we wyll not now speake perticularly.
Juu ya hilo Sanduku kulikuwa na viumbe vilivyodhihirisha kuweko kwa Mungu, na mabawa yao yalitanda juu ya mahali ambapo dhambi huondolewa. Lakini sasa, hatuwezi kusema kinaganaga juu ya mambo hayo.
6 When these thynges were thus ordeyned the prestes went all wayes into the fyrst tabernacle and executed the service of god.
Mipango hiyo ilitekelezwa kisha ikawa desturi kwa makuhani kuingia kila siku katika hema ya nje kutoa huduma zao.
7 But into the seconde went the hye prest alone once every yeare: and not with out bloud which he offered for him silfe and for the ignoraunce of ye people.
Lakini kuhani Mkuu peke yake ndiye anayeingia katika lile hema la pili; naye hufanya hivyo mara moja tu kwa mwaka. Anapoingia ndani huwa amechukua damu ambayo anamtolea Mungu kwa ajili yake mwenyewe na kwa ajili ya dhambi ambazo watu wamezitenda bila wao wenyewe kujua.
8 Wherwith ye holy goost this signifyeng yt the waye of holy thynges was not yet opened whill as yet ye fyrst tabernacle was stondynge.
Kutokana na taratibu hizo Roho Mtakatifu anafundisha wazi kwamba wakati ile hema ya nje ingali ipo imesimama, njia ya kuingia Mahali Patakatifu haijafunguliwa.
9 Which was a similitude for the tyme then present and in which were offered gyftes and sacrifises that coulde not make them that minister parfecte as pertaynynge to the conscience
Jambo hili ni mfano wa nyakati za sasa. Linaonyesha kwamba zawadi na dhabihu zinazotolewa kwa Mungu haziwezi kuifanya mioyo ya wale wanaoabudu kuwa mikamilifu,
10 with only meates and drinkes and divers wesshynges and iustifyinges of the flesshe which were ordeyned vntyll the tyme of reformacion.
kwani haya yote yanahusika na vyakula, vinywaji na taratibu mbalimbali za kutawadha. Yote hayo ni maagizo ya njenje tu; na nguvu yake hukoma wakati Mungu atakaporekebisha vitu vyote.
11 But Christ beynge an hye prest of good thynges to come came by a greater and a moare parfecte tabernacle not made with hondes: that is to saye not of this maner bildynge
Lakini Kristo amekwisha fika, akiwa Kuhani Mkuu wa mambo yaliyo mema, ambayo sasa yamekwisha fika. Yeye anatoa huduma zake katika hema iliyo bora na kamilifu zaidi, isiyofanywa kwa mikono ya watu, yaani isiyo ya ulimwengu huu ulioumbwa.
12 nether by the bloud of gotes and calves: but by his awne bloud we entred once for all into the holy place and founde eternall redemcion. (aiōnios g166)
Yeye aliingia Mahali Patakatifu mara moja tu, tena hakuwa amechukua damu ya mbuzi wala ng'ombe, bali aliingia kwa damu yake yeye mwenyewe, akatupatia ukombozi wa milele. (aiōnios g166)
13 For yf the bloud of oxen and of Gotes and the asshes of an heyfer whe it was sprynckled puryfied the vnclene as touchynge the purifiynge of the flesshe:
Watu waliokuwa najisi kidini waliweza kutakasika na kuwa safi waliponyunyiziwa damu ya mbuzi na ya ng'ombe pamoja na majivu ya ndama.
14 How moche more shall the bloud of Christ (which thorow the eternall sprete offered him silfe with out spot to God) pourdge youre consciences from deed workes for to serve the livynge god? (aiōnios g166)
Lakini, kwa damu ya Kristo, mambo makuu zaidi hufanyika! Kwa nguvu za Roho wa milele, Kristo alijitolea mwenyewe dhabihu kamilifu kwa Mungu. Damu yake itatutakasa dhamiri zetu kutokana na matendo yaletayo kifo, ili tupate kumtumikia Mungu aliye hai. (aiōnios g166)
15 And for this cause is he the mediator of ye newe testament that thorow deeth which chaunsed for the redempcion of those transgressions that were in ye fyrst testamet) they which were called myght receave the promes of eternall inheritaunce. (aiōnios g166)
Kwa hiyo, Kristo ndiye aliyeratibisha agano jipya ili wale walioitwa na Mungu wazipokee baraka za milele walizoahidiwa. Watazipata, kwani kifo kimetokea ambacho huwakomboa watu kutoka yale makosa waliyofanya wakati wa lile agano la kale. (aiōnios g166)
16 For whersoever is a testament there must also be the deeth of him that maketh the testament.
Kwa kawaida wosia hutambuliwa tu kama kifo cha yule aliyeufanya huo wosia kimethibitishwa.
17 For the testament taketh auctoritie when men are deed: For it is of no value as longe as he that made it is alive.
Wosia hauwezi kutekelezwa mpaka kumetokea kifo, kwani wosia hauna maana ikiwa mwenye kuufanya bado anaishi.
18 For which cause also nether that fyrst testament was ordeyned with out bloud.
Ndiyo maana hata lile agano la kwanza halikuwekwa bila damu kumwagwa.
19 For when all the commaundementes were redde of Moses vnto all the people he toke ye bloud of calves and of Gotes with water and purple woll and ysope and sprynkled both the boke and all the people
Kwanza Mose aliwatangazia watu wote amri zote kama ilivyokuwa katika Sheria; kisha akachukua damu ya ndama pamoja na maji, na kwa kutumia majani ya mti uitwao husopo na pamba nyekundu, akakinyunyizia kile kitabu cha Sheria na hao watu wote.
20 sayinge: this is the bloud of the testament which god hath apoynted vnto you.
Mose alisema: “Hii ni damu inayothibitisha agano mliloamriwa na Mungu mlitii.”
21 Morover he sprenkled the tabernacle with bloud also and all the ministrynge vessels.
Vilevile Mose aliinyunyizia damu ile hema na vyombo vya ibada.
22 And almost all thynges are bye the lawe pourged with bloud and with out effusion of bloud is no remission.
Naam, kadiri ya Sheria karibu kila kitu chaweza kutakaswa kwa damu, na dhambi nazo zaondolewa tu ikiwa damu imemwagwa.
23 It is then nede that the similitudes of hevenly thynges be purified with soche thynges: but the hevenly thynges them selves are purified with better sacrifises then are those.
Vitu hivi ambavyo ni mfano tu wa mambo halisi ya mbinguni, vililazimika kutakaswa kwa namna hiyo. Lakini vitu vya mbinguni huhitaji dhabihu iliyo bora zaidi.
24 For Christ is not entred into the holy places that are made with hondes which are but similitudes of true thynges: but is entred into very heven for to appere now in the syght of God for vs:
Maana Kristo hakuingia Mahali Patakatifu palipojengwa kwa mikono ya watu, ambapo ni mfano tu wa kile kilicho halisi. yeye aliingia mbinguni kwenyewe ambako sasa anasimama mbele ya Mungu kwa ajili yetu.
25 not to offer him silfe often as the hye prest entreth in to ye holy place every yeare with straunge bloud
Kuhani Mkuu wa Wayahudi huingia Mahali Patakatifu kila mwaka akiwa amechukua damu ya mnyama; lakini Kristo hakuingia humo ili ajitoe mwenyewe mara nyingi,
26 for then must he have often suffered sence the worlde bega. But now in the ende of the worlde hath he appered once to put synne to flyght by the offerynge vp of him silfe. (aiōn g165)
maana ingalikuwa hivyo, Kristo angalipaswa kuteswa mara nyingi tangu kuumbwa ulimwengu. Lakini sasa nyakati hizi zinapokaribia mwisho wake, yeye ametokea mara moja tu, kuondoa dhambi kwa kujitoa yeye mwenyewe dhabihu. (aiōn g165)
27 And as it is apoynted vnto men that they shall once dye and then commeth the iudegement even
Basi, kama vile kila mtu hufa mara moja tu, kisha husimama mbele ya hukumu ya Mungu,
28 so Christ was once offered to take awaye the synnes of many and vnto them that loke for him shall he appeare agayne without synne vnto saluacion.
vivyo hivyo Kristo naye alijitoa dhabihu mara moja tu kwa ajili ya kuziondoa dhambi za wengi. Atakapotokea mara ya pili si kwa ajili ya kupambana na dhambi, bali ni kwa ajili ya kuwaokoa wale wanaomngojea.
