Baebrania 8
1 Lyabile likowe lyatulibaya nga lino: tubile ni kuhani nkolo ywatamile pae mu'luboko lya mmalyo wa iteo sa enzi kumaunde.
Now of the things which we have spoken [this is] the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 Ywembe nga mtumishi mu'pandu patakatifu, hema lya kweli ambalo Ngwana alibekite, mundu kwaa yeyoti wa waa.
A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 Kwa mana kila kuhani nkolo ubekwa kutoa zawadi ni dhabihu; kwa eyo ibile muhimu kuba ni kilebe sa kutoa.
For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore [it is] of necessity that this man should have somewhat also to offer.
4 Nga kati Kristo ywabile nnani ya nnema, ywembe mana abile kwaa kuhani zaidi ya palyo. Kwa mana babile tayari balo balyotoa ipawa lengana ni saliya.
For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, seeing there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 Batihudumu kilebe ambacho chabile nakala ni kivuli sa ilebe ya kumaunde, sawa kati Musa ywakanyilwe ni Nnongo palyo apala chenga hema. “Lola,” Nnongo kabaya kuwa, “chenga kila kilebe lengana ni muundo waubweni nnani ya kitombe.”
Who serve to the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished by God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See (saith he) [that] thou make all things according to the pattern shown to thee in the mount.
6 Lakini Kristo atipokya huduma yabile bora muno kwa mana ywembe kae nga mpatanishi wa liagano linoyite, ambalo labile tayari kwa ahadi inoyite.
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7 Eyo kati liagano lya kwanza lyabile kwaa ni makosa, kubile kwaa ni haja ya kulipala liagano lya ibele.
For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for the second.
8 Kwa mana palyo Nnongo atigundua makosa kwa bandu kabaya, “Linga, lisoba lyaisa,'abaya Ngwana,'palyo nalowa tengeneza liagano lyayambe pamope ni nyumba ya Israeli, ni nyumba ya Yuda.
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Lyabile kwaa kati agano lya nilipangilepamope ni tate babe masoba amabgo natibatola kwa luboko kuayongolya kuoma nnema wa Misri. Kwa mana kabayendelya kwaa mu'liagano lyangu, nanenga nibajali kae,'abaya Ngwana.
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 Kwa mana yee elo agano nalowa kulipanga kwa nyumba ya Israeli baada ya masoba ago,'abaya Ngwana,'nalowa beka saliya zango mu'mawazo gabe, nalowa kuziandika mu'myoyo yabe. Nalowa kuba Nnongo babe, nabo bababile bandu bango.
For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 Kabapundishana kwaa kila yumo na jirani yake, no kila yumo na nongowe, yake, kabaya, “Myowe Ngwana,” eyo boti kabanitanga nenga, boka nchunu mpaka nkolo wabe.
And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 Kwa eyo nalowa kuabonekiya rehema kwa makowe yabe, galyo ya haki, kana nigakumbukye masambi gabe kae.”
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 Kwa kubaya “Waayambe” alipangite liagano lya kwanza kuwa lyazamani. Na elo nga ambalo atilitangaza kuba lyazamani lyalibile tayari yomoka.
In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and groweth old [is] ready to vanish away.
