¹Naizvozvo ngatitye zvimwe chivimbiso chekupinda muzororo rake zvachichipo kurege kuva neumwe wenyu uchawanikwa achitaira pakupindamo.

¹We may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering into His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short,

²Nekuti nesuwo takaparidzirwa evhangeri, sekwavariwo; asi shoko rokunzwikwa harina kuvabatsira, nokuti harina kuvhenganiswa nerutendo kuna ivo vakanzwa.

²for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard,

³Nekuti isu vakatenda tinopinda pazororo sezvaakareva achiti: Sezvo ndakapika pakutsamwa kwangu, ndikati: Havangapindi muzororo rangu; kunyange mabasa akange apedzwa kubva pakuvambwa kwenyika.

³for we do enter into the rest — we who did believe, as He said, `So I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest — ;` and yet the works were done from the foundation of the world,

⁴Nekuti wakataura pane imwe nzvimbo pamusoro pezuva rechinomwe sezvizvi: Mwari akazorora nezuva rechinomwe pamabasa ake ose;

⁴for He spake in a certain place concerning the seventh [day] thus: `And God did rest in the seventh day from all His works;`

⁵nepanozve: Havangapindi muzororo rangu.

⁵and in this [place] again, `If they shall enter into My rest — ;`

⁶Naizvozvo zvazvichipo kuti vamwe vachapinda pariri, uye kuti avo vakatanga kuparidzirwa evhangeri havana kupinda nekusateerera,

⁶since then, it remaineth for certain to enter into it, and those who did first hear good news entered not in because of unbelief —

⁷unogurazve rimwe zuva, achiti: Nhasi achitaura nemuromo waDhavhidhi, nguva huru yakadai yapfuura, sezvakwakataurwa, kuchinzi: Nhasi kana muchinzwa inzwi rake musawomesa moyo yenyu.

⁷again He doth limit a certain day, `To-day,` (in David saying, after so long a time,) as it hath been said, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts,`

⁸Nekuti dai Joshua akanga avapa zororo, haazaizoreva pashure pamusoro perimwe zuva.

⁸for if Joshua had given them rest, He would not concerning another day have spoken after these things;

⁹Zvino zvasarira vanhu vaMwari kuzorora kwesabata.

⁹there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of God,

¹⁰Nekuti uyo wakapinda muzororo rake wakazorora iye amene pamabasa ake, saMwari pane ake.

¹⁰for he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his works, as God from His own.

¹¹Naizvozvo ngatishingaire kuti tipinde muzororo iroro, kuti zvimwe kusava neunozowa achitevera muenzaniso iwoyo wekusateerera.

¹¹May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one in the same example of the unbelief may fall,

¹²Nekuti shoko raMwari ibenyu, uye rine simba nekupinza kukunda munondo unocheka kumativi maviri, rinobaya kusvikira panoparadzana moyo nemweya, nemafundo nemongo; nerinonzwisisa ndangariro nezvinangwa zvemoyo.

¹²for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow, and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart;

¹³Hakuna chinhu chakasikwa chisingaratidziki pachiso chake; asi zvinhu zvose zvakafukurwa nekuzarurwa pameso aiye watinofanira kuzvidavirira kwaari.

¹³and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him, but all things [are] naked and open to His eyes — with whom is our reckoning.

¹⁴Naizvozvo zvatine mupristi mukuru kwazvo, wakapfuurira kumatenga, iye Jesu Mwanakomana waMwari, ngatibatisise kutenda kwedu.

¹⁴Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens — Jesus the Son of God — may we hold fast the profession,

¹⁵Nekuti hatina mupristi mukuru usingagoni kunzwiswa tsitsi neutera hwedu, asi wakaidzwa pazvinhu zvose sesu asina chivi.

¹⁵for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but [one] tempted in all things in like manner — apart from sin;

¹⁶Naizvozvo ngatiswederei takashinga kuchigaro cheushe chenyasha, kuti tigamuchire tsitsi, tiwane nyasha dzekubatsira panguva yakafanira.

¹⁶we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace — for seasonable help.
