Abhaebrania 12
1 Kulwejo, nalwakutyo chiindilwe ne lile enene elyabhabhambasi, chese bhuli chinu chinu echikola nichiigwa amwi ne chibhibhi chinu chichisingie kwo bhwangu. Chibhilime kwa jinyimbo ja jijabhuli mubhubhambasi bhunu bhuli imbele yeswe.
Therefore let us also, being surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth easily beset us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us;
2 Chimulolele Yesu, unu alibhwambilo na unu katula okuchisimbagisha mulikisha lyeswe, unu kwalikondelewe linu litulilweo imbeleyae gwamwiile omusalabha, agaile jinswalo jae, nenyanja ansi ya mukubhoko kwe bhulyo kwe chitebhe cho bhungoma echa Nyamuanga.
looking to the author and perfecter of the faith, Jesus, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Kulwokubha mumwiganilishe omwene unu ekomesishe mumagambo go bhusoko okusoka kubhanu bhebhibhibhi, ingulu yae omwene koleleki mutaja kuigwa no kukabha mumyoyo jemwe.
For consider him that endured such contradiction by sinners against him, lest ye faint in your souls, and become weary.
4 Muchali kunyanka no kunyansibhwa ingulu ye bhibhibhi okukingila okuwelwamo amanyinga.
Not yet have ye resisted unto blood, in your contest against sin;
5 Nalindi mwalabhiwe okutulwamwo omwoyo kunu okubholesha kuti bhana bha chilume: “Mwana wani, utagagega kwo bhwangu okusubhilwa na Latabhugenyi, na utafwa mwoyo anu ulatongelwa no mwene.”
and ye have forgotten the exhortation, which reasoneth with you as with sons: “My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when reproved by him;
6 Kulwokubha Latabhugenyi kamugonya wona wona unu Kenda, na kamugonya bhuli mwana unu kamulamila.
for whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth; and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”
7 Mwikomeshe mumalegejo lwo kusubhilwa. Nyamuanga kafulubhenda nemwe lwa kutyo kafulubhenda na bhana, angu nimwanaki unu atakuonyibhwa?
It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he, whom the father chasteneth not?
8 Nawe labha ataliokuonyibhwa, kuunu eswe ona echisangila, mbe emwe muteile na mutali bhana bhae.
But if ye are without chastening, of which all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons.
9 Okukila gona, chaliga chili na bhalata bhwa kuchalo abhokuchigonya, na chaliga chilibhololo kubhene. Angu jitachiile okukila okumungwa Latabhugenyi we chinyamwoyo no kulama?
Furthermore, we were chastened by the fathers of our flesh, and we gave them reverence; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
10 Kwe chimali bhalata bheswe bhachibhumaga ku miyaka mitilu lwakutyo jabhonekanaga kubhene jabhwana, nawe Nyamuanga kachigonya koleleki chibhe bhelu kumwene.
For they indeed for a few days chastened us, according as it seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Italio chikukujulo chinu echikondelesha kwo mwanya ogwo. Echibha no bhwaswe. Kulwejo, eiya niibhula amatwasho go mulembe kubhanu bheigisibhwe nabho.
Now all chastening for the present indeed seemeth to be not joyous, but grievous; but afterward it yieldeth the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.
12 Kulwejo mwimushe amabhoko gemwe ganu galengae no kukola ebhijwi bhyemwe bhinu bhyalengae okubha namanaga lindi;
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
13 mugolole jinjila jebhigele bhyemwe, koleleki wona wona unu ali mulema atakutangasibhwa mukubhula nawe abhone okwiulisibhwa.
and make straight paths for your feet, that the lame may not be turned out of the way, but may rather be healed.
14 Muige omulembe nabhanu bhona, nalindi obhwelu bhunu unu atali nbhwo atamulola Latabhugenyi.
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord;
15 Mubhe bhengeso koleleki atabhao unu alyaulwa kula ne chigongo cha Nyamuanga, na lindi litajakubhao lisina lyo bhusungu linu lilisebhuka no kuleta jinyanko no kujiga bhamfu.
looking diligently, lest any one come short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and the many be thereby defiled;
16 Mwiyangalile atabhao unu kasiyana nolo munu unu atali mulengelesi lwa Esau, unu kwainjuno ya lilya lya lusiku lumwi agusishe echibhalo cho mwibhulwa.
lest there be any fornicator, or profane person as Esau, who for one meal sold even his birthright.
17 Kulwokubha omumenya ati inyumeyo, ejile enda okulya omwandu gwa mabhando, alemelwe, kwainsonga atabhwene kuta imbele ye semwene, nolo kutyo aigile muno kwa masiga.
For ye know that when he afterward wished to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it earnestly with tears.
18 Kulwokubha mutejile ku chima chinu echitula okukunyibhwako, Echima chinu echaka omulilo, echisute, okwitwa emyoyo no kuingisibhwa.
For ye have not come to a mount that can be touched, and burning with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 Mutejile kwo bhulaka bhwa ganyawegona, nolo kwe misango jinu ejisokana no bhulaka bhunu bhuli unu kabhungwa atajakusabhwa musango gwona gwona okwaikwa kubhene.
and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which voice they who heard, entreated that no more should be spoken to them;
20 Kulwokubha bhatatulile kusimbagilila kuchinu chalamuhwe: “Ikabha ati nolo ntyanyi inu eikinga kuchima, nibhusibhusi chibhumwe namabhui.”
for they could not bear that which was commanded, “If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned;” and,
21 Eyokubhaisha muno ganu alolele Musa naikati,”Nobhaya muno kundengo yo kuyalala.”
so terrible was the sight, Moses said: “I exceedingly fear and tremble;”
22 Inyuma yago, nimuja muchima cha Sayuni na mumusi gwa Nyamuanga unu alamile, Yerusalemu eyamulwile, na kubhamalaika elefu ekumi bhanu bhana olumula.
but ye have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads, the general assembly of angels;
23 Mwejile mulikofyanyisho mu lya abhebhulwa bho kwamba bhona bhanu bhandikilwe mulwile, ku Nyamuanga omulamusi wa bhona, na kumyoyo ja bhelu bhanu bhakumisibhwe.
and to the church of the first-born, who are enrolled in heaven; and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect;
24 Mwijile ku Yesu omugwatanyisha wa indagano inyaya, na kwa manyinga inu yasamuliwe inu eisimula jakisi okukila amanyinga ga Habili.
and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant; and to a sprinkling with that blood which speaketh something better than Abel.
25 Wiyangalile utaja kumulema oumwi unu kaika. Kulwokubha labha bhatesumbile bhejile bhamugwata oumwi wabhanu abhaonyishe muchalo, nichimali chitalisumba chilibha chainduka kula okusoka kuunu kachilola okusoka mulwile.
See that ye refuse not him who speaketh. For if they did not escape, who refused him who spoke his will on earth, much more shall not we, if we turn away from him who speaketh from heaven;
26 Kumwanya ogwo obhulaka bhwae bhuliyugula echalo. Nawe woli alagile okusimula, “Lichalio olugendo olundi lindi nitakuyugula echalo chenyele, tali no lwile ona.”
whose voice then shook the earth; but now he hath promised, saying, “Yet once more will I shake, not the earth only, but also the heaven.”
27 Amagambo ganu, “Kwiya lumwi lindi,” eyolesha okusosibhwao kwe bhinu bhinu ebhisibhwa, bhinu ni, bhinu bhinu bhimogelwe, koleleki ebhinu bhinu bhitakuyalasibhwa bhisigale.
And this expression, “Yet once more,” signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, in order that those things which are not shaken may abide.
28 Kulwejo, chilamile obhukama bhunu bhitakuyalasibhwa, chikondelelwe mumwanya gwo kumulamya Nyamuanga kwo kwikilisha amwi no kwikeya,
Wherefore receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear.
29 kulwokubha Nyamuanga weswe ni mulilo gunu ogulya.
For our God is a consuming fire.
