⁷Iek data swako bersh o baro rasha avilo korkorho andre ande duito soba. Wo chi avilo andre bi le ratesa. Wo dia o rat ka Del sar ek podarka pala leske bezexa, ai vi pala sa le bezexa le manushenge.

¹⁰O phuro zakono phendia lenge so te xan ai pen, ai sar te xalavenpe, ai sar te keren aver dieli le statosa. Won trobulsarde te keren kadala dieli zhi kai O Kristo avilo le nevo kontraktosa le Devlesko kai si mai mishto.

¹¹Asi Kristu wakati asvika ari mupristi mukuru wezvinhu zvakanaka zvinozouya, netende rakapfuura pakukura nepakuperedzerwa, risina kuitwa nemaoko, ndiko kuti risati riri rekusikwa kuno,

¹¹Numa O Kristo avilo sar O Baro Rasha pala le lashe dieli kai wo shinadia amenge. Wo lashardia o drom le manushenge te zhan ka Del. Wo gelo andre e mai lashi tsera ando rhaio, nas kerdo le vastensa le manushenge ai nas ek partia kadia lumiaki.

¹²O Kristo avilo andre e swunto tsera ande rhaio ferdi iek data sa le manushenge le ratesa ande 'O Swunto le Swuntoske', ai thodia o rat po 'E mila skamin'; numa nas o rat le buzhneske vai le vetseleske. Nichi, Wo lia pesko rat pesa kana avilo andre, pesko rat skepil ame katar o bezex.

¹⁴Sode mai but kerel o rat le Kristosko te parhuvel amaro traio ai amare ile. Wo skepil ame katar o nekazo kana zumavas te keras so o phuro zakono phenel, ai Wo mangel ame te podais O Del o zhuvindil.

¹⁵uye nemhaka iyi ndiye murevereri wesungano itsva, kuti nenzira yerufu kuitira rudzikunuro pakudarika pasi pesungano yekutanga, avo vakadamwa vagopiwa chivimbiso chenhaka isingaperi.

¹⁵O Kristo avilo le nevo kontaktosa, ai le manush sai aven andre te mangen, ai len sa le dieli kai O Del shinadia lenge ai garaven le sa data. Ke O Kristo mulo te skepil len katar e kris le bezexeski kai won kerde kana traiinas tela o phuro zakono.

¹⁶Nekuti apo pane rugwaro rwenhaka, panofanira kuvapowo rufu rwaiye wakaiita.

¹⁶Akana, te merel vari kon ai o manush mekel o ramomos, phenel, kon sai len leski dieli, wo nashti len le dieli zhi kana wo merel.

¹⁷Nekuti testamendi ine simba kune vakafa; nekuti haitongovi nesimba kana wakaiita achiri mupenyu.

¹⁷O ramomos nai kanchi zhi kana o manush kai ramosardia o ramomos merel. Kana wo traiil aver manush nashti lel leske dieli kai sas shinadia les, ke wo traiil inker.

¹⁹Ai kana o Moses dino le manushen o zakono, wo porme lia o rat le zhigenango, le paiesa, lolo poxtan, ai krenga pherdi shut, ai thodia les pe klishka le zakonoski ai pe sa le manushen.

²⁰achiti: Iri iropa resungano yamakarairwa naMwari.

²⁰O Moses phendia, "Kado si o rat le kontraktosko mashkaral tume ai O Del, o kontrakto kai O Del phendia mange te kerav tumensa."

²¹saizvozvo wakasasa neropa zvose tende nemidziyo yose yekushumira.

²¹Ai o Moses vi thodia o rat pe swunto tsera ai pe sa le swuntse dieli.

²²Zvinhu zvinenge zvose zvinonatswa nemurairo neropa; uye pasina kuteurwa kweropa, hapana kangamwiro.

²²O Zhidovisko zakono phenel kai pashte sa le dieli si wusharde kana thodia rat pe lende, ai bi te thol rat pe lende chi avena iertime katar lenge bezexa.

²³Naizvozvo zvakafanira kuti mifananidzo yezvinhu zviri kumatenga inatswe nezvizvi; asi zvinhu zvekudenga pachazvo zvinatswe nezvibayiro zvakanaka kupfuura izvi.

²³E swunto tsera ai le swuntse dieli andre si sar le dieli ando rhaio. Won si vuzharde ke thodia o rat pe lende. Numa le dieli ando rhaio sas vuzharde pala e mai lashi podarka.

²⁴Nekuti Kristu haana kupinda panzvimbo tsvene yakaitwa nemaoko, inofananidza iyo iri chaiyo, asi wakapinda kudenga komene, kuti ikozvino aonekwe pamberi paMwari nekuda kwedu;

²⁴Ke O Kristo chi avilo ando swunto than ando rhaio pala so kerde le manush, ke kadia sas te sikavel so sas te avel, wo avilo ando rhaio te sikavel pes angla Del sar amaro vortako.

²⁵kwetewo kuti azvibayire kazhinji, semupristi mukuru unopinda panzvimbo tsvene gore rimwe nerimwe neropa rezvimwe;

²⁵O Kristo chi dia pesko traio butivar, mai iek data ai mai iek data, sar o baro rasha pe phuv dia o sakrifis, o rat le zhigenange ando 'O Swunto le swuntoske' swako bersh.

²⁶dai zvakanga zvakadaro, waifanira kutambura kazhinji kubva pakuvambwa kwenyika; asi zvino wakaonekwa kamwe pakupedzisira kwenguva, kuti abvise chivi nechibayiro chake omene.

²⁶Te kerel kodia, O Kristo trobulsardia te merel po trushul butivar, zhi de anda gor kana e lumia sas kerdi. Nichi! Wo avilo ferdi iek data ai gata sas o phuro kontrakto, ai Wo dia pesko traio te pharhavel o bezex.

²⁷Uye sezvazvakatemerwa vanhu kuti vafe kamwe, shure kwezvizvi kutongwa;

²⁷Ai sar si phendo kai le manush meren ferdi iek data, ai pala kodia avela e kris.

²⁸saizvozvo Kristu abayirwa kamwe kuti atakure zvivi zvevazvinji, uchazoonekwa rwechipiri, asina chivi, naivo vanomutarira, guve ruponeso.

²⁸Ai vi O Kristo mulo ferdi iek data sar ek sakrifis le bezexesko sa le manushenge; ai kana Wo avela palpale e duito data, Wo chi dela pesko traio le bezexesko mai iek data, numa te anel o skepimos kal manush kai azhukeren les.
