VaHebheru 10

¹Nokuti murairo zvaunomumvuri wezvinhu zvakanaka zvino vuya usati uri mufananidzo chaiwo wezvinhu izvozvo, haungatongogoni kukwanisa avo vanoswedera gore rimwe nerimwe naizvozvo zvibayiro zvavanoramba vachibayira Mwari.For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

²dai zvakanga zvakadaro, zvingadai zvisina kupera kubayirwa here? Nokuti vanonamata, kana vakanga vanatswa kamwe chete, vangadai vasina kuzoyevudzwa zvivi zvavo.For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

³Asi nezvibayiro izvozvo vanoyevudzirwa zvivi gore rimwe nerimwe.But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

⁴Nokuti ropa renzombe nerembudzi haritongogoni kubvisa zvivi.For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

⁵saka pakusvika kwake panyika, unoti: Chibayiro nechipo makazviramba, Asi makandigadzirira muviri;Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

⁶hamuna kuda zvibayiro zvinopiswa, nezvibayiro zvezvivi;In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

⁷Zvino ndikati: Tarirai, ndavuya, (Murugwaro makanyorwa pamsoro pangu) Kuti ndiite kuda kwenyu, imi Mwari.Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

⁸Zvaanoti pakutanga: Zvibayiro nezvipo, nezvibayiro zvinopiswa, nezvibayiro zvezvivi hamuna kuzvida, hamuna kufadzwa nazvo) zviri izvo zvinobayirwa Mwari sezvinoreva murairo),Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

⁹Ndokuzoti: Tarirai, ndinovuya kuzoita kuda kwenyu imi Mwari. Unobvisa chokutanga kuti amise chechipiri.Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

¹⁰Nokuda ikoku takaitwa vatsvene nechibayiro chomuviri waJesu Kristu, chakabayirwa kamwe .By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

¹¹MuPirisita mumwe nomumwe unomira zuva rimwe nerimwe achishumira, nokubayira kazhinji zvibayiro izvozvo zvisingagoni kubvisa zvivi;And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

¹²asi murume uyu wakati abayira chibayiro kamwe chete pamusoro pezvivi, akagara nokusingaperi kurudyi rwaMwari;But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

¹³kubva zvino achimirira kusvikira vavengi vake vaitwa chitsiko chetsoka dzake.From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

¹⁴Nokuti nechibayiro chimwe chete wakakwanisa nokusingaperi avo vanoitwa vatsvene.For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

¹⁵NoMweya Mutsvene unotipupurira vo; nokuti wakatanga, achiti:Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

¹⁶Iyi ndiyo sungano yandichaita navo Shure kwamazuva iwayo, ndizo zvinotaura Ishe; Ndichaisa mirairo yangu pamoyo yavo, Nokuinyora pakufunga kwavo; Ndokuzoti:This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

¹⁷Zvivi zvavo nokudarika kwavo handichatongozvirangariri.And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

¹⁸Zvino, kana zvinhu izvi zvakanganwirwa, zvivi hazvichabayirwi.Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

¹⁹Naizvozvo, hama dzangu, zvatingatsunga kupinda panzvimbo tsvene neropa raJesu,Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

²⁰nenzira itsva mhenyu, yaakativambira iye nokupinda kwake pachidzitiro chetembere, ndiyo nyama yake;By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

²¹vuye zvatinomuPirisita mukuru paimba yaMwari,And having an high priest over the house of God;

²²ngatiswedere nomoyo wazvokwadi, nokutenda kwakasimba, moyo yedu yasaswa kuti inatswe pahana yakaipa, nemiviri yedu yakashambidzwa nemvura yakanaka.Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

²³Ngatichengete kwazvo kupupura kwetariro yedu, kuti irege kuzununguka; nokuti iye, wakapikira, wakatendeka;Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

²⁴ngatirangarirane, timutsane moyo kuti tive norudo namabasa akanaka,And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

²⁵tisarega kuvungana kwedu, sezvinoita vamwe, asi tirairane; zvikuru zvamunovona kuti zuva roswedera.Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

²⁶Nokuti kana tichitadza nobwoni, kana tambogamuchira zivo yezvokwadi, hakuchinechibayiro pamusoro pezvivi,For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

²⁷asi kungomirira tichitya kutongeswa nokutsamwa kunopfuta somoto, kuchapedza vevengi.But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

²⁸Munhu, wakaramba murairo waMosesi, unofa asinganzwirwi tsitsi, kana panezvapupu zviviri kana zvitatu;He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

²⁹hamufungi here kuti munhu, wakatsika Mwanakomana waMwari pasi petsoka dzake, uye akati ropa resungano raakaitwa mutsvene naro harinamaturo zvaro, uye akazvidza Mweya wenyasha, kuti iye haanganzi wakafanirwa nokurobwa kunopfuvura uku kwazvo here?Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

³⁰Nokuti tinomuziva iye wakati: Kutsiva ndokwangu, ini ndicharipira ndizvo zvinotaura Mwari. Vuye zve: Ishe uchatonga mhosva dzavanhu vake.For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

³¹Zvinotyisa kuwira pamavoko aMwari mupenyu.It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³²Asi rangarirai mazuva akare, amakati mavhenekerwa, mukatsunga pakurwa kukuru kwedambudziko;But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

³³pamwe nokuti makaitwa chinhu chinotarirwa nokuzvidzwa nokutambudzwa; pamwe nokuti makagovana naivo vakaitirwa izvozvo.Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.

³⁴Nokuti makanzwira tsitsi kusungwa kwangu, makatenda vo nomufaro kuti nhumbi dzenyu dzipambwe, muchiziva kuti imi mumene munefuma yakapfuvura nokunaka, inogara iri kudenga.For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

³⁵Naizvozvo regai kurasha kusatya kwenyu kunomubayiro mukuru.Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

³⁶Nokuti munofanira kuva nokutsungirira, kuti, kana maita kuda kwaMwari, mugopiwa chipikirwa.For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

³⁷Nokuti kanguva kaduku-duku kachi’ko, Iye unovuya, uchavuya, asinganonoki.For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

³⁸Asi wakarurama wangu uchaponeswa nokutenda; Zvino kana akadzokera shure, moyo wangu haungafari naye.Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

³⁹Zvino isu hatizi ivo vokudzokera shure, kuti tiparadzwe; asi tiri vokutenda kuti tiponese mweya.But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
