Abhaebrania 8
1 Oli ligambo linu echaika ni linu: chinage omugabhisi mukulu unu enyanjile ansi mukubhoko kwe bhulyo kwe chitebhe cha ingoma Mulwile.
To sum up what I have been saying: — Such is the High Priest that we have, one who ‘has taken his seat at the right hand’ of the throne of God’s Majesty in Heaven,
2 Omwene ni mukosi wa liyema elyelu, liyema lye chimali linu Latabhugenyi ateewo, na litatuliwewona munu wona wona unu kafwa.
where he ministers in the Sanctuary, in that true Tabernacle set up by the Lord and not by man.
3 Kulwokubha bhuli mugabhisi mukulu katulwao okusosha ebhiyanwa ne chogo; Kulwejo nibhusibhusi ubhe ne chinu cho kusosha.
Every High Priest is appointed for the purpose of offering gifts and sacrifices to God; it follows, therefore, that this High Priest must have some offering to make.
4 Woli labha Kristo aliga ali ingulu ye chalo, omwene atakabhee mugabhisi okukila awo. Kulwokubha bhaliga bhalibhangu okusosha okulubhana ne bhilagilo.
If he were, however, still upon earth, he would not even be a priest, since there are already priests who offer the gifts as the Law directs.
5 Bhafulubhendelaga ebhinu bhinu bhili elengesi lye bhinu bhya mulwile, amwi lwa kutyo Musa anu aganyibhwe na Nyamuanga omwanya gunu endaga okumbaka liyema.”Lola,” Nyamuanga naikati, “Kola kutyo bhuli chinu okulubhana no lususo lunu weleshwa ingulu ye chima.”
(These priests, it is true, are engaged in a service which is only a copy and shadow of the heavenly realities, as is shown by the directions given to Moses when he was about to construct the Tabernacle. ‘Look to it,’ are the words, ‘that thou make every part in accordance with the pattern shown thee on the mountain.’)
6 Nawe woli Kristo alamiye obhufubhendi bhwa kisi kwa insonga omwene ona abhee mugwatanya wa indagano yo bhwana, linu lyamalile kusimbagilisibwa kwo mulago gwo bhwana.
But Jesus, as we see, has obtained a ministry as far excelling theirs, as the Covenant of which he is the intermediary, based, as it is, on better promises, excels the former Covenant.
7 Kulwejo labha lilagano lyo kwamba lyakabhee litana esolo, niwo gutakabheewo lindi okuyenja lilagano lya kabhili.
If that first Covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second.
8 Kulwokubha omwanya gunu Nyamuanga ejile amenya ebhikayo bhya bhanu naikati,”Lola, jinsiku ejija, kaika Latabhugenyi, 'omwanya gunu nilikola lilagano liyaya amwi na inyumba ya Israeli, na inyumba ya Yuda.
But, finding fault with the people, God says — ‘“Behold, a time is coming,” says the Lord, “When I will ratify a new Covenant with the People of Israel and with the People of Judah —
9 Litakubha lwalinu lilagano linu nakolele na bhesemwene olusiku lunu nabhagegele kwo kubhoko okubhatangasha okusoka munsi ya Misri. Kulwokubha bhatagendelee mwilagano lyani, anyona ntasubhile kubhakalalilwa,' kaika Latabhugenyi.
Not such a Covenant as I made with their ancestors On the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not abide by their Covenant with me, And therefore I disregarded them,” says the Lord.
10 Kulwokubha linu nilyo lilagano linu enikola na inyumba ya Israelijikatula jinsiku ejo,' kaika Latabhugenyi. 'enitao echilagilo chani mubhwiganilisha bhwebhwe, na enijandika mumioyo jebhwe. Enibha Nyamuanga webhwe, na bhene abhabha bhanu bhani.
“This is the Covenant that I will make with the People of Israel After those days,” says the Lord. “I will impress my laws on their minds, And will inscribe them on their hearts; And I will be their God, And they shall be my People.
11 Bhataliigishana bhuli umwi nomwikashanya wae, na bhuli umwi no muili wae, naikati, “Mumumenye Latabhugenyi” kulwejo bhona bhalimenya anye, okusoka kumulela okukinga kumukulu webhwe.
There shall be no need for every man to instruct his fellow-citizen, Or for a man to say to his Brother ‘Learn to know the Lord’; For every one will know me, From the lowest to the highest.
12 Kulwejo nilyolesha echigongo kulwebhikolwa bhyebhwe bhinu bhitali bhya bhulengelesi, ntalibhijuka ebhibhibhi bhyebhwe lindi.”
For I will be merciful to their wrong-doings, And I will no longer remember their sins.”’
13 Kwo kwaikati “Nyaya,” alikolele lilgano lyo kwamba okubha ekokolo kokolo. Nalinu alasishe kubha ekokolo kokolo lili ayeyi okubhula.
By speaking of a ‘new’ Covenant, God at once renders the former Covenant obsolete; and whatever becomes obsolete and loses its force is virtually annulled.
