1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:
1Ndugu zangu watu wa Mungu ambao mmeitwa na Mungu, fikirini juu ya Yesu ambaye Mungu alimtuma awe Kuhani Mkuu wa imani tunayoiungama.
2Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house.
2Yeye alikuwa mwaminifu kwa Mungu aliyemteua kufanya kazi yake kama vile Mose alivyokuwa mwaminifu katika nyumba yote ya Mungu.
3For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house, hath greater honour than the house.
3Mjenzi wa nyumba hupata heshima zaidi kuliko hiyo nyumba yenyewe. Hali kadhalika naye Yesu anastahili heshima kubwa zaidi kuliko Mose.
4For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things, is God.
4Kila nyumba hujengwa na mjenzi fulani—na Mungu ndiye mjenzi wa vitu vyote.
5And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said:
5Mose alikuwa mwaminifu katika nyumba yote ya Bwana kama mtumishi, na alinena juu ya mambo ambayo Mungu atayasema hapo baadaye.
6But Christ as the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end.
6Lakini Kristo ni mwaminifu kama Mwana mwenye mamlaka juu ya nyumba ya Mungu. Sisi ni nyumba yake kama tukizingatia uhodari wetu na uthabiti wetu katika kile tunachotumainia.
7Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: Today if you shall hear his voice,
7Kwa hiyo, basi, kama asemavyo Roho Mtakatifu: “Kama mkisikia sauti ya Mungu leo,
8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation; in the day of temptation in the desert,
8msiifanye mioyo yenu kuwa migumu kama wazee wenu walivyokuwa wakati walipomwasi Mungu; kama walivyokuwa siku ile kule jangwani,
9Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,
9Huko wazee wenu walinijaribu na kunichunguza, asema Bwana, ingawa walikuwa wameyaona matendo yangu kwa miaka arobaini.
10Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways,
10Kwa sababu hiyo niliwakasirikia watu hao nikasema, Fikira za watu hawa zimepotoka, hawajapata kamwe kuzijua njia zangu.
11As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest.
11Basi, nilikasirika, nikaapa: Hawataingia huko ambako ningewapa pumziko.”
12Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God.
12Basi ndugu, jihadharini asije akawako yeyote miongoni mwenu aliye na moyo mbaya hivyo na asiyeamini hata kujitenga na Mungu aliye hai.
13But exhort one another every day, whilst it is called today, that none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
13Maadamu hiyo “Leo” inayosemwa katika Maandiko bado inatuhusu sisi, mnapaswa kusaidiana daima, ili mtu yeyote miongoni mwenu asidanganywe na dhambi na kuwa mkaidi.
14For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end.
14Maana sisi tunashirikiana na Kristo ikiwa tutazingatia kwa uthabiti tumaini tulilokuwa nalo mwanzoni.
15While it is said, Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in that provocation.
15Maandiko yasema hivi: “Kama mkisikia sauti ya Mungu leo, msiifanye mioyo yenu kuwa migumu kama wazee wenu walivyokuwa wakati walipomwasi Mungu.”
16For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
16Ni akina nani basi, waliosikia sauti ya Mungu wakamwasi? Ni wale wote walioongozwa na Mose kutoka Misri.
17And with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with them that sinned, whose carcasses were overthrown in the desert?
17Mungu aliwakasirikia akina nani kwa miaka arobaini? Aliwakasirikia wale waliotenda dhambi, maiti zao zikatapakaa kule jangwani.
18And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest: but to them that were incredulous?
18Mungu alipoapa: “Hawataingia huko ambako ningewapa pumziko,” alikuwa anawasema akina nani? Alikuwa anasema juu ya hao walioasi.
19And we see that they could not enter in, because of unbelief.
19Basi, twaona kwamba hawakuingia huko kwa sababu hawakuamini.
