Hebrews 4English

Bahebheru 4African Kalanga

English1
Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.
African Kalanga
Ndizo ngakuti kugadziwabgwe mukungina mu kunyaluluka kutjiyapo, tiyeleni njele, kuti kusibe ne mmwe wenyu unowowang'wa akong'wa noswika mu kunyaluluka ikoko.
English2
For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith.
African Kalanga
Ngobe ndebo mbuya yakahhabo kutili koga se kubali, koga dama labakawha alizobabhatsha nge tjimwe, ngobe lakahaya kugalamoyo mu bawhi balo.
English3
Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, “So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”
African Kalanga
Ndizo iswi takagalamoyo tongina mu kunyaluluka ikoko sekwa wakati, “Sekwa ndakatuna mu kugwadzamoyo, ‘Abatowongina mu kunyaluluka kwangu,’ ” nenguba mihingo yawo yakafidziwa pa kubumbiwa kwe hango.
English4
And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world. For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: “And on the seventh day God rested from all his work.”
African Kalanga
Ngobe una pawakaleba nekwe hhuba le kutendeka uti, “Ndzimu wakanyaluluka mu hhuba le butendeka mu mihingo yawo yose.”
English5
And again in the passage above he says, “They shall never enter my rest.”
African Kalanga
Kakale ipapa ukati, “Abatowongina mu kunyaluluka kwangu.”
English6
It still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience.
African Kalanga
Ndizo kutjina bakasalila kungina mu kunyaluluka ikoku zwako, nebakawha ndebo mbuya kutanga abazotubula ngina, kuli ne kusawha,
English7
Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
African Kalanga
ndizo Ndzimu unobiga limwe hhuba, linoyi “Nasi.” Wakalileba hule kwe makole manjinji etuma Dafite sekwa kwakalebgwa kuyi, “Nasi, ha muwha whi lawo, musikukutadze mimoyo yenyu.”
English8
For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
African Kalanga
Ngobe Joshuwa ha akabe abapa kunyaluluka, Ndzimu unobe usakati hule ukaleba nekwe limwe huba.
English9
There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;
African Kalanga
Ndizo wali kunyaluluka ne Sabata kutjakasalila banhu be Ndzimu;
English10
for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his.
African Kalanga
ngobe iye unowongina mu kunyaluluka kwe Ndzimu, unowobe enyaluluka mu mihingo iye, se Ndzimu wakanyalulukabo muna yawo.
English11
Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.
African Kalanga
Ngatigwiseni tjose kuti tingine mu kunyaluluka ikoko, kuti kusibe ne mmwe wedu unowokonedziwa ne zila yakajalo ye kusawha.
English12
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
African Kalanga
Ngobe dama le Ndzimu lotjila, kakale lohinga, lopiza kupinda bukanu guna ntha dzinotema mbili, lobhaya likathubukanya meya ne butjilo, mongo ne malunganilo. Losumikilisa njemulo ne mikumbulo ye moyo we nhu.
English13
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
African Kalanga
Akuna tjakasumbikala ku Ndzimu, tjimwe ne tjimwe mu lubumbo gose tjakaambuka, tjipatjena mu meho awo, iwo watakafanila kuzwileba mbeli kwawo.
English14
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.
African Kalanga
Ndizo setina mpirisiti nkulu kwazo wakapinda epalama hhuhhugwi, iye Jesu Nkololo we Ndzimu, ngatibhatilileni mu kugalamoyo kwatinoleba titi tinako.
English15
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are–yet was without sin.
African Kalanga
Ngobe atina Ntungamili we Bapirisiti usingatubule kuwhisisa kusasima kwedu, koga tina wakalikiwabo saswi, koga kabe usina tjibi.
English16
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
African Kalanga
Ngatisedzeleni ngono ku tjigalo tje buhe gwe ngoni, ne kugalamoyo kuti tiamutjile mawhilozogwadza ne ngoni mu tjibaka tjatinowobe tihaka lubhatsho.
