Waebrania 6
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
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;
1Wherefore leaving the word of the beginning of Christ, let us go on to things more perfect, not laying again the foundation of penance from dead works, and of faith towards God,
2mafundisho juu ya ubatizo na kuwekewa mikono; ufufuo wa wafu na hukumu ya milele.
2Of the doctrine of baptisms, and imposition of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3tusonge mbele! Hayo tutayafanya, Mungu akitujalia.
3And this will we do, if God permit.
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;
4For it is impossible for those who were once illuminated, have tasted also the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5walikwisha onja wema wa neno la Mungu na nguvu za ulimwengu ujao,
5Have moreover tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6kisha wakaiasi imani yao! Haiwezekani kuwarudisha watubu tena, kwa sababu wanamsulubisha tena Mwana wa Mungu na kumwaibisha hadharani.
6And are fallen away: to be renewed again to penance, crucifying again to themselves the Son of God, and making him a mockery.
7Mungu huibariki ardhi ambayo huipokea mvua inayoinyeshea mara kwa mara, na kuotesha mimea ya faida kwa mkulima.
7For the earth that drinketh in the rain which cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is tilled, receiveth blessing from God.
8Lakini kama ardhi hiyo ikiota miti ya miiba na magugu, haina faida; karibu italaaniwa na Mungu na mwisho wake ni kuchomwa moto.
8But that which bringeth forth thorns and briers, is reprobate, and very near unto a curse, whose end is to be burnt.
9Lakini, ingawa twasema namna hii, wapenzi wetu, tunalo tumaini kubwa juu ya hali yenu. Tunajua kwamba mmepokea baraka zile bora za wokovu wenu.
9But, my dearly beloved, we trust better things of you, and nearer to salvation; though we speak thus.
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, that he should forget your work, and the love which you have shewn in his name, you who have ministered, and do minister to the saints.
11Hamu yetu ni kwamba kila mmoja wenu aonyeshe bidii hiyohiyo mpaka mwisho, ili yale mnayotumainia yapate kutimia.
11And we desire that every one of you shew forth the same carefulness to the accomplishing of hope unto the end:
12Msiwe wavivu, bali muwe kama wale wanaoamini na wenye uvumilivu na hivyo wanapokea yake aliyoahidi Mungu.
12That you become not slothful, but followers of them, who through faith and patience shall inherit the promises.
13Mungu alipompa Abrahamu ahadi, aliapa kwa jina lake mwenyewe, maana hakuna aliye mkuu kuliko Mungu ambaye kwa huyo angeweza kuapa.
13For God making promise to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom he might swear, swore by himself,
14Mungu alisema: “Hakika nitakubariki na nitakupa wazawa wengi.”
14Saying: Unless blessing I shall bless thee, and multiplying I shall multiply thee.
15Abrahamu alisubiri kwa uvumilivu na hivyo alipokea kile alichoahidiwa na Mungu.
15And so patiently enduring he obtained the promise.
16Watu wanapoapa, huapa kwa mmoja aliye mkuu zaidi kuliko wao, na kiapo hicho husuluhisha ubishi wote.
16For men swear by one greater than themselves: and an oath for confirmation is the end of all their controversy.
17Naye Mungu aliimarisha ahadi yake kwa kiapo; na kwa namna hiyo akawaonyesha wazi wale aliowaahidia kwamba hatabadili nia yake.
17Wherein God, meaning more abundantly to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed 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.
18That by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest comfort, who have fled for refuge to hold fast the hope set before us.
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.
19Which we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, and which entereth in even within the veil;
20Yesu ametangulia kuingia humo kwa niaba yetu, na amekuwa kuhani mkuu milele, kufuatana na utaratibu wa ukuhani wa Melkisedeki.
20Where the forerunner Jesus is entered for us, made a high priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.
