¹Nekuti murairo zvaune mumvuri wezvinhu zvakanaka zvinouya usati uri mufananidzo chaiwo wezvinhu izvozvo, haungatongogoni kuperedzera avo vanoswedera gore rimwe nerimwe naizvozvo zvibayiro zvavanoramba vachibayira.

¹For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

²Dai zvakanga zvakadaro zvingadai zvisina kupera kubayirwa here? nekuti vashumiri, kana vakange vanatswa kamwe chete vangadai vasingazivi zvivi zvavo.

²Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?

³Asi kuzvibayiro izvozvo vanoyeudzirwa zvivi gore rimwe nerimwe.

³But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.

⁴Nekuti hazvibviri kuti ropa rehando nerembudzi ribvise zvivi.

⁴For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

⁵saka paanosvika panyika, unoti: Chibayiro nechipiriso hamuna kuzvida, asi makandigadzirira muviri;

⁵Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire, but you prepared a body for me;

⁶pazvibayiro zvinopiswa, nezvechivi hamuna kuzvifarira;

⁷Zvino ndikati: Tarirai ndauya (Murugwaro rwakapetwa makanyorwa pamusoro pangu) Kuita chido chenyu, Mwari.

⁷Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’” Psalm 40:6-8

⁸Zvaanoti pakutanga: Zvibayiro nezvipiriso, nezvibayiro zvinopiswa, nezvibayiro zvechivi hamuna kuzvida kana kufadzwa nazvo izvo zvinobayirwa sezvinoreva murairo),

⁸Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law),

⁹ndokuzoti: Tarira, ndinovuya kuzoita chido chenyu imwi Mwari. Unobvisa chekutanga kuti amise chechipiri.

⁹then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,

¹⁰Nekuda ikoku takaitwa vatsvene kubudikidza nekubayirwa kwemuviri waJesu Kristu kamwe.

¹⁰by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

¹¹Mupristi umwe neumwe unomira zuva rimwe nerimwe achishumira, nekubayira kazhinji zvibayiro izvozvo zvisingatongogoni kubvisa zvivi;

¹¹Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,

¹²asi murume uyu wakati abayira chibayiro chimwe nekuda kwezvivi nekusingaperi, akagara pasi kuruoko rwerudyi rwaMwari;

¹²but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;

¹³kubva zvino achitarisira kusvikira vavengi vake vaitwa chitsiko chetsoka dzake.

¹³from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.

¹⁴Nekuti nechibayiro chimwe chete wakaperedzera nekusingaperi avo vanoitwa vatsvene.

¹⁴For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

¹⁵Mweya Mutsvenewo unotipupurira; nekuti pakutanga wakange amboti:

¹⁵The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

¹⁶Iyi ndiyo sungano yandichaita navo shure kwemazuva iwayo, ndizo zvinotaura Ishe, Ndichaisa mirairo yangu mumoyo yavo, nokuinyora mufungwa dzavo.

¹⁶“This is the covenant that I will make with them: ‘After those days,’ says the Lord, ‘I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;’” Jeremiah 31:33 then he says,

¹⁷Nezvivi zvavo nekuipa kwavo handichatongozvirangaririzve.

¹⁷“I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.” Jeremiah 31:34

¹⁸Zvino apo pane kangamwiro yezvizvi, hapachina kubayirwa kwechivi.

¹⁸Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

¹⁹Naizvozvo, hama, zvatingatsunga kupinda panzvimbo tsvene neropa raJesu,

¹⁹Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

²⁰nenzira itsva mhenyu, yaakatizarurira kubudikidza nemuvheiri, ndiyo nyama yake;

²⁰by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

²¹uye tine mupristi mukuru pamusoro peimba yaMwari,

²¹and having a great priest over God’s house,

²²ngatiswedere nemoyo wechokwadi, nechivimbo chakazara cherutendo, moyo yedu yasaswa pahana yakaipa, nemiviri yedu yakashambidzwa nemvura yakachena.

²²let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,

²³Ngatibatisise chitendero chetariro yedu, tisingazungunuki; nekuti iye wakavimbisa wakatendeka;

²³let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.

²⁴uye ngatirangariranei pakumutsirana rudo namabasa akanaka,

²⁴Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,

²⁵tisarega kuungana kwedu, setsika yevamwe, asi tichikurudzirana; zvikuru zvamunovona zuva richiswedera.

²⁵not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.

²⁶Nekuti kana tichitadza maune, tambogamuchira ruzivo rwechokwadi, hakusisina chibayiro pamusoro pezvivi,

²⁶For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

²⁷asi kumwe kumirira tichitya kutongwa nekutsamwa kunopfuta moto, kuchapedza vevengi.

²⁷but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.

²⁸Munhu unozvidza murairo waMozisi unofa kunze kwetsitsi nezvapupu zviviri kana zvitatu;

²⁸A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.

²⁹zvino unofunga kuti uchanzi wakafanira kurangwa zvinorwadza sei, wakatsikira pasi Mwanakomana waMwari, uye ukatora ropa resungano, raakaitwa mutsvene naro serisina maturo, uye akazvidza Mweya wenyasha?

²⁹How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

³⁰Nekuti tinomuziva iye wakati: Kutsiva ndekwangu, ini ndicharipira, ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe, uyezve unoti: Ishe uchatonga vanhu vake.

³⁰For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me,” says the Lord, “I will repay.” Deuteronomy 32:35 Again, “The Lord will judge his people.” Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalm 135:14

³¹Zvinotyisa kuwira mumaoko aMwari mupenyu.

³¹It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³²Asi rangarirai mazuva akare, amakati mavhenekerwa maari mukatsunga pakurwa kukuru kwematambudziko;

³²But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings;

³³pamwe nekuti makaitwa chiokero zvose nekunyombwa nematambudziko; pamwe nekuti makagovanawo naivo vakaitirwa izvozvo.

³³partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions; and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.

³⁴Nekuti makanzwira tsitsi zvisungo zvangu, makagamuchira nemufaro kupambwa kwenhumbi dzenyu, muchiziva mukati menyu kuti imwi mune fuma yakapfuura nekunaka, inogara iri kumatenga.

³⁴For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.

³⁵Naizvozvo regai kurasha kushinga kwenyu, kune muripo mukuru wemubayiro.

³⁵Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

³⁶Nekuti munoshaiwa moyo murefu, zvokuti, kana maita kuda kwaMwari, mugamuchire chivimbiso.

³⁶For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

³⁷Nekuti pachine kanguva kaduku-duku, uye unouya uchauya, uye haanganonoki.

³⁷“In a very little while, he who comes will come, and will not wait.

³⁸Asi wakarurama uchararama nerutendo; zvino kana akadzokera shure, mweya wangu haungafari naye.

³⁸But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” Habakkuk 2:3-4

³⁹Zvino isu hatizi veavo vanodzokera shure kukuparadzwa; asi veavo vanotenda kukuponeswa kwemweya.

³⁹But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
