Waebrania 5
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Kila kuhani mkuu huchaguliwa kutoka miongoni mwa watu kwa ajili ya kumtumikia Mungu kwa niaba yao, kutolea zawadi na tambiko kwa ajili ya dhambi zao.
1Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2Maadamu yeye mwenyewe yu dhaifu anaweza kuwaonea huruma wale wasiojua kitu na wanaofanya makosa.
2He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is beset by weakness.
3Na kwa vile yeye mwenyewe ni dhaifu, anapaswa kutolea dhabihu si tu kwa ajili ya watu, bali pia kwa ajili ya dhambi zake.
3That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
4Hakuna mtu awezaye kujitwalia mwenyewe heshima ya kuwa kuhani mkuu. Kila mmoja huteuliwa na Mungu kuwa kuhani mkuu kama alivyokuwa Aroni.
4No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.
5Hali kadhalika naye Kristo hakujitwalia mwenyewe heshima ya kuwa kuhani mkuu, bali Mungu alimwambia: “Wewe ni Mwanangu; mimi leo nimekuwa baba yako.”
5So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.”
6Alisema pia mahali pengine: “Wewe ni kuhani milele, kufuatana na utaratibu wa ukuhani wa Melkisedeki.”
6And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
7Yesu alipokuwa anaishi hapa duniani, kwa kilio kikuu na machozi, alisali na kumwomba Mungu ambaye alikuwa na uwezo wa kumwokoa kutoka kifo; naye alisikilizwa kwa sababu ya kumcha Mungu.
7During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.
8Lakini, ingawa alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu, alijifunza kutii kwa njia ya mateso.
8Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.
9Na alipofanywa mkamilifu, akawa chanzo cha wokovu wa milele kwa wale wote wanaomtii,
9And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him
10naye Mungu akamteua kuwa kuhani mkuu kufuatana na utaratibu wa ukuhani wa Melkisedeki.
10and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
11Tunayo Mengi ya kusema juu ya jambo hili, lakini ni vigumu kuwaelezeni, kwa sababu ninyi si wepesi wa kuelewa.
11We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing.
12Sasa mngalipaswa kuwa tayari walimu, lakini mnahitaji bado mtu wa kuwafundisheni mafundisho ya mwanzo ya ujumbe wa Mungu. Badala ya kula chakula kigumu, mnapaswa bado kunywa maziwa.
12Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food!
13Kila anayepaswa kunywa maziwa huyo ni mtoto bado, hajui uadilifu ni nini.
13For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness.
14Lakini chakula kigumu ni kwa ajili ya watu waliokomaa, ambao wanaweza kubainisha mema na mabaya.
14But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.
