VaHebheru 4

¹Naizvozvo, chipikirwa chokupinda muzororo rake zvachichipo, tinofanira kutya kuti zvimwe kurege kuva nomumwe wenyu uchawanikwa asingafaniri kupindamo.Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

²Nokuti nesu vo takaparidzirwa Evhangeri, saivo; asi shoko ravakanzwa, harina kuvabatsira, nokuti harina kuvhenganiswa nokutenda kwaivo vakanzwa.For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

³Nokuti isu vakatenda, tinopinda pazororo irero, sezvaakareva, achiti: Naizvozvo ndakapika pakutsamwa kwangu, ndikati: Havangapindi muzororo rangu; kunyange mabasa ake akanga akwaniswa kubva pakuvambwa kwenyika.For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

⁴Nokuti paneimwe nzvimbo wakataura pamusoro pezuva rechinomwe, achiti: Mwari wakazorora nezuva rechinomwe pamabasa ake ose;For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

⁵napano zve: Havangapindi muzororo rangu.And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

⁶Naizvozvo, shoko zvarichipo kuti vamwe vachapinda pariri, vuye kuti avo vakaparidzirwa Evhangeri kare havana kupinda nokusaterera kwavo,Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

⁷unotara zve rimwe zuva, achiti muna Dhavhidhi, Nhasi nguva huru yakadai yapfuvura, sezvakwakambotaurwa kare, zvichinzi, Nhasi, kana muchinzwa inzwi rake, musawomesa moyo yenyu.Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

⁸Nokuti dai Joshua akanga avapa zororo, haazaizoreva rimwe zuva pashure.For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

⁹Zvino zororo resabata ravanhu vaMwari richipo.There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

¹⁰Nokuti uyo wakapinda muzororo rake, wakazorora iye amene pamabasa ake, saMwari panaake.For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

¹¹Naizvozvo ngatishingaire kuti tipinde muzororo irero, kuti munhu arege kuvapo unozowa achitevera nzira iyo yokusaterera.Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

¹²Nokuti shoko raMwari ibenyu, rinesimba, rinopinza kukunda munondo unocheka kumativi maviri, rinobaya kusvikira panoparadzana moyo nomweya, namafundo nomongo; rinotonga mifungo nendangariro dzomoyo.For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

¹³Hakune chisikwa chisingavonekwi naye, asi zvinhu zvose zvakafukurwa nokuzarurwa pameso aiye watinofanira kuzvidavirira kwaari.Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

¹⁴Naizvozvo, zvatinomuPirisita mukuru kwazvo, wakapinda napakati pokudenga, iye Jesu, Mwanakomana waMwari, ngatibatisise kupupura kwedu.Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

¹⁵Nokuti hatinomuPirisita mukuru usingagoni kutinzwira tsitsi pavutera bwedu, asi wakaidzwa pazvinhu zvose sesu, asinezvivi.For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

¹⁶Naizvozvo, ngatiswederei tisingatyi kuchigaro chovushe chenyasha, kuti tinzwirwe ngoni, tiwane nyasha, tibatsirwe nenguva yakafanira.Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
