Waebrania 1
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Hapo zamani, Mungu alisema na babu zetu mara nyingi kwa namna nyingi kwa njia ya manabii,
1God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all,
2lakini siku hizi za mwisho, amesema nasi kwa njia ya Mwanae. Yeye ndiye ambaye kwa njia yake Mungu aliumba ulimwengu na akamteua avimiliki vitu vyote.
2In these days hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world.
3Yeye ni mng'ao wa utukufu wa Mungu, na mfano kamili wa hali ya Mungu mwenyewe, akiutegemeza ulimwengu kwa neno lake lenye nguvu. Baada ya kuwapatia binadamu msamaha wa dhambi zao, aliketi huko juu mbinguni, upande wa kulia wa Mungu Mkuu.
3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, making purgation of sins, sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high.
4Mwana ni mkuu zaidi kuliko malaika, kama vile jina alilopewa na Mungu ni kuu zaidi kuliko jina lao.
4Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.
5Maana Mungu hakumwambia kamwe hata mmoja wa malaika wake: “Wewe ni Mwanangu; Mimi leo nimekuwa Baba yako.” Wala hakusema juu ya malaika yeyote: “Mimi nitakuwa Baba yake, naye atakuwa Mwanangu.”
5For to which of the angels hath he said at any time, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6Lakini Mungu alipokuwa anamtuma Mwanae mzaliwa wa kwanza ulimwenguni, alisema: “Malaika wote wa Mungu wanapaswa kumwabudu.”
6And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him.
7Lakini kuhusu malaika, Mungu alisema: “Mungu awafanya malaika wake kuwa pepo, na watumishi wake kuwa ndimi za moto.”
7And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8Lakini kumhusu Mwana, Mungu alisema: “Utawala wako ee Mungu, wadumu milele na milele! Wewe wawatawala watu wako kwa haki.
8But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9Wewe wapenda uadilifu na kuchukia uovu. Ndiyo maana Mungu, Mungu wako amekuweka wakfu na kukumiminia furaha kubwa zaidi kuliko wenzako.”
9Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10Pia alisema: “Bwana, wewe uliumba dunia hapo mwanzo, mbingu ni kazi ya mikono yako.
10And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the works of thy hands are the heavens.
11Hizo zitatoweka, lakini wewe wabaki daima, zote zitachakaa kama vazi.
11They shall perish, but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment.
12Utazikunjakunja kama koti, nazo zitabadilishwa kama vazi. Lakini wewe ni yuleyule daima, na maisha yako hayatakoma.”
12And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
13Mungu hakumwambia kamwe hata mmoja wa malaika wake: “Keti upande wangu wa kulia, mpaka niwaweke adui zako chini ya miguu yako.”
13But to which of the angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
14Malaika ni roho tu wanaomtumikia Mungu, na Mungu huwatuma wawasaidie wale watakaopokea wokovu.
14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them, who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
