¹Naizvozvo isuwo zvatakakomberedzwa negore guru rakadai rezvapupu, ngatibvisei mitoro yose nechivi chinongotinamatira, ngatimhanye nemoyo murefu nhangemutange yakaiswa mberi kwedu,

¹Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

²tichitarira kuna Jesu, muvambi nemupedzeredzi werutendo rwedu, iye nekuda kwemufaro wakaiswa pamberi pake wakatsunga pamuchinjikwa, achizvidza kunyadziswa kwawo, akagara kuruoko rwerudyi rwechigaro cheushe chaMwari.

²looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of [our] faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

³Nekuti cherekedzai uyo wakatsunga pagakava rakadai revatadzi vachimirisana naye, kuti imwi murege kuneta nekupera simba pamweya yenyu.

³For consider him that hath endured such gainsaying of sinners against himself, that ye wax not weary, fainting in your souls.

⁴Muchigere kupikisa kusvikira muropa muchirwa nechivi;

⁴Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin:

⁵uye makakangamwa kurudziro inotaura kwamuri kwazvo sekuvana, kuchiti: Mwanakomana wangu, usazvidza kuranga kwaIshe, kana kupera moyo kana uchitsiurwa naye;

⁵and ye have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art reproved of him;

⁶Nekuti Ishe waanoda unomuranga, nekuzvambaradza mwanakomana umwe neumwe waanogamuchira.

⁶For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

⁷Kana muchitsunga pakurangwa, Mwari unokubatai sevanakomana; nekuti mwanakomana ndeupi usingarangwi nababa?

⁷It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom [his] father chasteneth not?

⁸Asi kana musingarangwi sezvinoitirwa vagovani vose, muri vana veupombwe, kwete vanakomana.

⁸But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

⁹uyezve isu takambova nemadzibaba enyama yedu aidzora uye tikavakudza; ko hatingazviisi zvikuru pasi paBaba vemweya kuti tirarame here?

⁹Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

¹⁰Nekuti ivo zvirokwazvo vakatiranga mazuva mashoma pamadiro avo: asi iye unotiranga kuti tibatsirwe, tigogoverwa utsvene hwake.

¹⁰For they indeed for a few days chastened [us] as seemed good to them; but he for [our] profit, that [we] may be partakers of his holiness.

¹¹Zvino hakuna kuranga kwazvino kunoratidza kufadza, asi kushungurudza zvakadaro pashure kunobereka zvibereko zverugare zvakarurama kune vanorovedzwa mazviri.

¹¹All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, [even the fruit] of righteousness.

¹²Saka simbisai maoko akaremberera pasi, nemabvi akarengwezeka;

¹²Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the palsied knees;

¹³gadzirirai tsoka dzenyu nzira dzakarurama, kuti icho chinokamhina chirege kushodoka, asi panzvimbo yeizvozvo chiporeswe.

¹³and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned out of the way, but rather be healed.

¹⁴Tevererai rugare nevose, neutsvene, nokuti kunze kwahwo hakuna munhu uchaona Ishe;

¹⁴Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:

¹⁵Muchichenjerera kuti kurege kuva nemunhu unokundikana panyasha dzaMwari; kuti zvimwe mudzi wekuvava urege kumutsa dambudziko ukutambudzei vazhinji vagosvibiswa;

¹⁵looking carefully lest [there be] any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby the many be defiled;

¹⁶kurege kuva nemhombwe kana munhu usina hanya naMwari, saEsau wakatengesa udangwe hwake nekudya kumwe.

¹⁶lest [there be] any fornication, or profane person, as Esau, who for one mess of meat sold his own birthright.

¹⁷Nekuti munoziva kuti pashure achizoda hake kugara nhaka yekuropafadzwa, wakarambwa; nekuti haana kuwana nzvimbo yekutendeuka, kunyange akaitsvaka zvikuru nemisodzi.

¹⁷For ye know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for a change of mind [in his father,] though he sought is diligently with tears.

¹⁸Nekuti hamuna kuswedera kugomo ringabatwa, rinopfuta moto, uye kurima nekusviba, nekudutu guru remhepo,

¹⁸For ye are not come unto [a mount] that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

¹⁹uye kurira kwehwamanda, nenzwi remashoko; iro ivo vakarinzwa vakakumbira kuti shoko rimwe rirege kuzotaurwa kwavarizve;

¹⁹and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which [voice] they that heard entreated that no word more should be spoken unto them;

²⁰Nekuti vakakoniwa kutevera icho chakanga charairwa, chekuti: Kana zvakadaro nemhuka kana ikabata gomo, ichatakwa nemabwe; kana kufurwa nemuseve.

²⁰for they could not endure that which was enjoined, If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned;

²¹icho chakaonekwa chaityisa zvekuti Mozisi wakati: Ndinotya kwazvo, ndinodedera.

²¹and so fearful was the appearance, [that] Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:

²²Asi imwi mauya kugomo reZiyoni, nekuguta raMwari mupenyu, Jerusarema rekudenga, nekumazana evatumwa vasingaverengeki,

²²but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels,

²³kuungano huru nekereke yematangwe akanyorwa kumatenga, nekuna Mwari mutongi wevose, nekumweya yevakarurama vakapereredzwa,

²³to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

²⁴nekuna Jesu murevereri wesungno itsva, nekuropa rekusasa, rinotaura zvinhu zviri nani pane zvaAbhero.

²⁴and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better than [that of] Abel.

²⁵Chenjerai kuti murege kuramba uyo unotaura; nekuti dai vasina kupukunyuka iye wakataura panyika, zvikuru sei isu kana tichifuratira iye unobva kumatenga;

²⁵See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned [them] on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape] who turn away from him that [warneth] from heaven:

²⁶inzwi rake rakazungunusa nyika nguva iyo asi zvino wakavimbisa achiti: Kamwe chetezve ndichazungunusa kwete nyika chete, asi dengawo.

²⁶whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven.

²⁷Zvino izvi zvekuti: Kamwe zvekare, zvinoratidza kubviswa kwezvinhu zvinozununguka, sezvinhu zvakaitwa, kuti izvo zvisingagoni kuzungunuka zvigare.

²⁷And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.

²⁸Naizvozvo zvatinogamuchira ushe hwusingazununguswi, ngative nenyasha dzatingagona kushumira nadzo Mwari zvinogamuchirika nekukudza nekutya Mwari.

²⁸Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe:

²⁹Nekuti Mwari wedu moto unoparadza.

²⁹for our God is a consuming fire.
