VaHebheru 2

¹Saka tinofanira kuterera zvikuru izvo zvatakanzwa, kuti tirege kukukurwa.Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

²Nokuti kana shoko, rakanga rataurwa navatumwa, rakanga rakasimba, vuye kana kudarika nokusaterera kwose kwakapiwa mubairo wakarurama,For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

³ko isu tichapukunyuka sei, kana tisinehanya nokuponeswa kukuru kwakadai? Uku kwakaparidzwa pakutanga naShe, kukasimbiswa kwatiri naivo vakanzwa;How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

⁴naiye Mwari vo achipupurirana navo nezviratidzo nezvinoshamisa, namabasa esimba mazhinji, nezvipo zvoMweya Mutsvene, nokuda kwake.God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

⁵Nokuti nyika, inozovuya, yatinoreva, haana kuiisa pasi pavatumwa.For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

⁶Asi mumwe wakapupura kwazvo paneimwe nzvimbo, achiti: Ko munhu chinyiko, zvamunomufunga? Kana mwanakomana womunhu, zvamunomushanyira?But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

⁷Makamuita muduku zvishoma kuvatumwa, Makamushongedza korona nokubwinya nokukudzwa, mukamubatisa vushe hwamabasa amavoko enyu.Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

⁸Mukaisa zvinhu zvose pasi petsoka dzake. Nokuti pakuisa kwake zvinhu zvose pasi pake, haana kusiya chinhu chimwe, chisina kuiswa pasi pake. Asi zvino tigere kuvona kuti zvinhu zvose zvakaiswa pasi pake.Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

⁹Asi tinomuvona, iye Jesu, wakaitwa muduku zvishoma kuvatumwa, nokuda kokutambudzika kworufu, wakashongedzwa korona yokubwinya nokukudzwa,kuti nokuda kwenyasha dzaMwari aravire rufu achiitira munhu wose.But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

¹⁰Nokuti zvakanga zvakafanira kuti iye, wakaitirwa zvinhu zvose, vuye wakaita zvinhu zvose, pakuisa kwake vanakomana vazhinji pakubwinya, akwanise Mutungamiriri wokuponeswa kwavo nenzira yokutambudzika.For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

¹¹Nokuti uyo, unovaita vatsvene, naivo vanoitwa vatsvene, vose vakabva kunomumwe; nemhaka iyi haanenyadzi kuvaidza hama,For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

¹²Zvaanoti: Ndichaparidzira hama dzangu zita renyu, Ndichakuimbirai pakati pekereke.Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

¹³Vuye zve: Ndichavimba naye. Vuye zve: Tarirai, ini navana vandakapiwa naMwari.And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

¹⁴Naizvozvo, vana zvavakagoverwa ropa nenyama, naiye vo wakagovana navo panaizvozvi; kuti nokufa kwake iye aparadze uyo unesimba rorufu, iye Dhiabhorosi;Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

¹⁵agosunungura avo vaiva varanda pavupenyu bwavo bwose nokuda kwokutya rufu.And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

¹⁶Nokuti zvirokwazvo, haana kutora chimiro chavatumwa, asi wakazvitorera vana vaAbhurahamu.For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

¹⁷Naizvozvo wakafanira kuti aenzaniswe nehama dzake pazvinhu zvose, kuti ave muPirisita mukuru unengoni, wakatendeka pazvinhu zvaMwari, kuti adzikinure zvivi zvavanhu.Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

¹⁸Nokuti zvaakatambudzika iye amene pakuidzwa kwake, unogona kubatsira vanoidzwa.For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
