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

¹Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;

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

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

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

³For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house.

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

⁴For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

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

⁵Moses 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 is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

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

⁷Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice,

⁸musawomesa moyo yenyu sepakutsamwisa, nezuva rekuidzwa murenje.

⁸don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, 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 tested me by proving me, and saw my works for forty years.

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

¹⁰Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways;’

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

¹¹as I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’” Psalm 95:7-11

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

¹²Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there 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 “today”; 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 have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:

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

¹⁵while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.” Psalm 95:7-8

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

¹⁶For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn’t all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?

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

¹⁷With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

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

¹⁸To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

¹⁹Zvino tinovona kuti vakanga vasingagoni kupinda nekuda kwekusatenda.

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