Waebrania 2
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Kwa sababu hiyo tunapaswa kuzingatia kwa makini zaidi yote tuliyosikia, ili tusije tukapotoshwa.
1We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
2Ujumbe ule waliopewa wazee wetu na malaika ulionyeshwa kuwa kweli, hata mtu yeyote ambaye hakuufuata au hakuutii aliadhibiwa kama alivyostahili.
2For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment,
3Basi, sisi tutaokokaje kama hatuujali wokovu mkuu kama huu? Kwanza Bwana mwenyewe aliutangaza wokovu huu, na wale waliomsikia walituthibitishia kwamba ni kweli.
3how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,
4Mungu pia aliongeza hapo ushahidi wake kwa kufanya kila namna ya miujiza na maajabu, na kwa kuwagawia watu vipaji vya Roho Mtakatifu kadiri ya mapenzi yake.
4and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.
5Mungu hakuwaweka malaika wautawale ulimwengu ujao, yaani ulimwengu ule tunaoongea habari zake.
5For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
6Tena yasemwa mahali fulani katika Maandiko: “Mtu ni nini ee Mungu, hata umfikirie; mwanaadamu ni nini hata umjali?
6But somewhere it is testified in these words: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?
7Ulimfanya kwa kitambo kidogo kuwa chini zaidi kuliko malaika; ukamvika taji ya utukufu na heshima,
7You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor
8ukaweka kila kitu chini ya miguu yake, avitawale.” Yasemwa kwamba Mungu alimweka mtu kuwa mtawala wa vitu vyote yaani bila kuacha hata kimoja. Hata hivyo, hatuoni bado mtu akivitawala vitu vyote sasa.
8and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.
9Lakini twamwona Yesu ambaye alifanywa kwa kitambo kidogo kuwa chini zaidi kuliko malaika, ili kwa neema ya Mungu afe kwa ajili ya watu wote. Sasa tunamwona ametawazwa kwa utukufu na heshima kwa sababu ya kifo alichoteseka.
9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.
10Ilikuwa haki tupu kwamba Mungu, ambaye huumba na kutegemeza vitu vyote, alimfanya Yesu kuwa mkamilifu kabisa kwa njia ya mateso, ili awalete watoto wengi waushiriki utukufu wake. Maana Yesu ndiye anayewaongoza kwenye wokovu.
10In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.
11Yeye anawatakasa watu dhambi zao, naye pamoja na wale waliotakaswa, wote wanaye Baba mmoja. Ndiyo maana Yesu haoni aibu kuwaita hao ndugu zake;
11For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.
12kama asemavyo: “Ee Mungu, nitawatangazia ndugu zangu matendo yako. Nitakusifu katika kusanyiko lao.”
12He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”
13Tena asema: “Nitamwekea Mungu tumaini langu.” Na tena: “Mimi niko hapa pamoja na watoto alionipa Mungu.”
13And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”
14Basi, kwa vile watoto hao, kama awaitavyo, ni watu wenye mwili na damu, Yesu mwenyewe akawa kama wao na kushiriki ubinadamu wao. Alifanya hivyo ili kwa njia ya kifo chake amwangamize Ibilisi, ambaye ana mamlaka juu ya kifo,
14Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil,
15na hivyo awaokoe wale waliokuwa watumwa maisha yao yote kwa sababu ya hofu yao ya kifo.
15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
16Maana ni wazi kwamba yeye hakuja kwa ajili ya kuwasaidia malaika, bali kama yasemavyo Maandiko; “Anawasaidia wazawa wa Abrahamu.”
16For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham.
17Ndiyo maana ilimbidi awe kama ndugu zake kwa kila namna, ili awe Kuhani Mkuu wao aliye mwaminifu na mwenye huruma katika kumtumikia Mungu, ili dhambi za watu ziondolewe.
17For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.
18Na, anaweza sasa kuwasaidia wale wanaojaribiwa na kuteswa.
18Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.
