¹Naizvozvo hama tsvene, vagovani vekudamwa kwekudenga, rangarirai muapositori nomupristi mukuru wokupupura kwedu, iye Jesu Kristu,

¹Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, [even] Jesus;

²wakange akatendeka kuna iye wakamugadza, saMozisiwo muimba yake yose.

²who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

³Nekuti uyu wakanzi wakafanira rukudzo rwunopfuura rwaMozisi, muvaki weimba sezvaanokudzwa kupfuura imba;

³For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so much as he that built the house hath more honor than the house.

⁴Nekuti imba imwe neimwe inovakwa neumwe, asi unovaka zvose ndiMwari.

⁴For every house is builded by some one; but he that built all things is God.

⁵Zvino Mozisi zvirokwazvo wakanga akatendeka muimba yake yose semuranda, kuti ave chapupu chezvinhu izvo zvaifanira kuzotaurwa,

⁵And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken;

⁶asi Kristu seMwanakomana pamusoro peimba yake; iye isu tiri imba yake kana tikabatisisa kusatya netariro yatinozvirumbidza pamusoro payo kusvika pakuguma.

⁶but Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end.

⁷Naizvozvo sezvinotaura Mweya Mutsvene, achiti: Nhasi kana muchinzwa inzwi rake,

⁷Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice,

⁸musawomesa moyo yenyu sepakutsamwisa, nezuva rekuidzwa murenje.

⁸Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

⁹Apo madzibaba enyu akandiidza, vachindinzvera, vakaona mabasa angu makore makumi mana.

⁹Where your fathers tried [me] by proving [me,] And saw my works forty years.

¹⁰Naizvozvo ndakatsamwiswa nezera iro, ndikati: Vanogara vachitsauka pamoyo wavo; uye havana kuziva nzira dzangu;

¹⁰Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;

¹¹Naizvozvo ndakapika pakutsamwa kwangu, ndikati: Havangapindi pazororo rangu.

¹¹As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

¹²Chenjererai hama, kuti kusava neumwe wenyu ane nemoyo wakashata wekusatenda, pakutsauka kubva kuna Mwari mupenyu,

¹²Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:

¹³asi kurudziranai zuva nezuva, kana kuchanzi: Nhasi; kuti kurege kuva neumwe wenyu unowomeswa kubudikidza nekunyengera kwechivi.

¹³but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:

¹⁴Nekuti tava vagovani vaKristu, kana tichibatisisa kuvamba kwechivimbo chedu kusvikira pakuguma;

¹⁴for we are become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end:

¹⁵kana zvichanzi: Nhasi kana muchinzwa inzwi rake, musawomesa moyo yenyu, sepakutsamwisa.

¹⁵while it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

¹⁶Nekuti vamwe vakati vanzwa, vakamutsamwisa, asi havazi ivo vose vakabva Egipita naMozisi.

¹⁶For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses?

¹⁷Asi wakatsamwiswa nani makore makumi mana? Havazi ivo vakatadza vane mitumbu yakawira murenje here?

¹⁷And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

¹⁸Uye ndivanaani vaakapikira kuti havangapindi pazororo rake, kunze kwaivo vasina kutenda?

¹⁸And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?

¹⁹Zvino tinovona kuti vakanga vasingagoni kupinda nekuda kwekusatenda.

¹⁹And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
