Waebrania 6
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Berean Standard Bible
1Basi, tusonge mbele kwa yale yaliyokomaa na kuyaacha nyuma yale mafundisho ya mwanzo ya Kikristo. Hatuhitaji kuweka msingi tena kwa kurudia yale mafundisho ya mwanzo kama vile kuachana na matendo ya kifo, kumwamini Mungu;
1Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God,
2mafundisho juu ya ubatizo na kuwekewa mikono; ufufuo wa wafu na hukumu ya milele.
2instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
3tusonge mbele! Hayo tutayafanya, Mungu akitujalia.
3And this we will do, if God permits.
4Maana watu wanaoiasi imani yao inawezekanaje kuwarudisha watubu tena? Watu hao walikwisha kuwa katika mwanga wa Mungu, walikwisha onja zawadi ya mbinguni na kushirikishwa Roho Mtakatifu;
4It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
5walikwisha onja wema wa neno la Mungu na nguvu za ulimwengu ujao,
5who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age—
6kisha wakaiasi imani yao! Haiwezekani kuwarudisha watubu tena, kwa sababu wanamsulubisha tena Mwana wa Mungu na kumwaibisha hadharani.
6and then have fallen away—to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame.
7Mungu huibariki ardhi ambayo huipokea mvua inayoinyeshea mara kwa mara, na kuotesha mimea ya faida kwa mkulima.
7For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended receives the blessing of God.
8Lakini kama ardhi hiyo ikiota miti ya miiba na magugu, haina faida; karibu italaaniwa na Mungu na mwisho wake ni kuchomwa moto.
8But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned.
9Lakini, ingawa twasema namna hii, wapenzi wetu, tunalo tumaini kubwa juu ya hali yenu. Tunajua kwamba mmepokea baraka zile bora za wokovu wenu.
9Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are convinced of better things in your case—things that accompany salvation.
10Mungu hakosi haki; yeye hataisahau kazi mliyoifanya au upendo mlioonyesha kwa ajili ya jina lake katika huduma mliyowapa na mnayowapa sasa watu wake.
10For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.
11Hamu yetu ni kwamba kila mmoja wenu aonyeshe bidii hiyohiyo mpaka mwisho, ili yale mnayotumainia yapate kutimia.
11We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure.
12Msiwe wavivu, bali muwe kama wale wanaoamini na wenye uvumilivu na hivyo wanapokea yake aliyoahidi Mungu.
12Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
13Mungu alipompa Abrahamu ahadi, aliapa kwa jina lake mwenyewe, maana hakuna aliye mkuu kuliko Mungu ambaye kwa huyo angeweza kuapa.
13When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,
14Mungu alisema: “Hakika nitakubariki na nitakupa wazawa wengi.”
14saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.”
15Abrahamu alisubiri kwa uvumilivu na hivyo alipokea kile alichoahidiwa na Mungu.
15And so Abraham, after waiting patiently, obtained the promise.
16Watu wanapoapa, huapa kwa mmoja aliye mkuu zaidi kuliko wao, na kiapo hicho husuluhisha ubishi wote.
16Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument.
17Naye Mungu aliimarisha ahadi yake kwa kiapo; na kwa namna hiyo akawaonyesha wazi wale aliowaahidia kwamba hatabadili nia yake.
17So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath.
18Basi, kuna vitu hivi viwili: ahadi na kiapo, ambavyo haviwezi kubadilika na wala juu ya hivyo Mungu hawezi kusema uongo. Kwa hiyo sisi tuliokimbilia usalama kwake, tunapewa moyo wa kushikilia imara tumaini lililowekwa mbele yetu.
18Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.
19Tunalo tumaini hilo kama nanga ya maisha yetu. Tumaini hilo ni imara na thabiti, nalo lapenya lile pazia la hekalu la mbinguni mpaka patakatifu ndani.
19We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,
20Yesu ametangulia kuingia humo kwa niaba yetu, na amekuwa kuhani mkuu milele, kufuatana na utaratibu wa ukuhani wa Melkisedeki.
20where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
