Waebrania 3
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Ndugu zangu watu wa Mungu ambao mmeitwa na Mungu, fikirini juu ya Yesu ambaye Mungu alimtuma awe Kuhani Mkuu wa imani tunayoiungama.
1Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
2Yeye alikuwa mwaminifu kwa Mungu aliyemteua kufanya kazi yake kama vile Mose alivyokuwa mwaminifu katika nyumba yote ya Mungu.
2He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.
3Mjenzi wa nyumba hupata heshima zaidi kuliko hiyo nyumba yenyewe. Hali kadhalika naye Yesu anastahili heshima kubwa zaidi kuliko Mose.
3For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
4Kila nyumba hujengwa na mjenzi fulani—na Mungu ndiye mjenzi wa vitu vyote.
4And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
5Mose alikuwa mwaminifu katika nyumba yote ya Bwana kama mtumishi, na alinena juu ya mambo ambayo Mungu atayasema hapo baadaye.
5Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.
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.
6But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.
7Kwa hiyo, basi, kama asemavyo Roho Mtakatifu: “Kama mkisikia sauti ya Mungu leo,
7Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,
8msiifanye mioyo yenu kuwa migumu kama wazee wenu walivyokuwa wakati walipomwasi Mungu; kama walivyokuwa siku ile kule jangwani,
8do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,
9Huko wazee wenu walinijaribu na kunichunguza, asema Bwana, ingawa walikuwa wameyaona matendo yangu kwa miaka arobaini.
9where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.
10Kwa sababu hiyo niliwakasirikia watu hao nikasema, Fikira za watu hawa zimepotoka, hawajapata kamwe kuzijua njia zangu.
10Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’
11Basi, nilikasirika, nikaapa: Hawataingia huko ambako ningewapa pumziko.”
11So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”
12Basi ndugu, jihadharini asije akawako yeyote miongoni mwenu aliye na moyo mbaya hivyo na asiyeamini hata kujitenga na Mungu aliye hai.
12See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.
13Maadamu hiyo “Leo” inayosemwa katika Maandiko bado inatuhusu sisi, mnapaswa kusaidiana daima, ili mtu yeyote miongoni mwenu asidanganywe na dhambi na kuwa mkaidi.
13But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
14Maana sisi tunashirikiana na Kristo ikiwa tutazingatia kwa uthabiti tumaini tulilokuwa nalo mwanzoni.
14We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.
15Maandiko yasema hivi: “Kama mkisikia sauti ya Mungu leo, msiifanye mioyo yenu kuwa migumu kama wazee wenu walivyokuwa wakati walipomwasi Mungu.”
15As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”
16Ni akina nani basi, waliosikia sauti ya Mungu wakamwasi? Ni wale wote walioongozwa na Mose kutoka Misri.
16For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
17Mungu aliwakasirikia akina nani kwa miaka arobaini? Aliwakasirikia wale waliotenda dhambi, maiti zao zikatapakaa kule jangwani.
17And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
18Mungu alipoapa: “Hawataingia huko ambako ningewapa pumziko,” alikuwa anawasema akina nani? Alikuwa anasema juu ya hao walioasi.
18And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?
19Basi, twaona kwamba hawakuingia huko kwa sababu hawakuamini.
19So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.
