Hebrews 5English

Bahebheru 5African Kalanga

English1
Every high priest is selected from among men and is appointed to represent them in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
African Kalanga
Ntungamili we Bapirisiti mmwe ne mmwe unohalugwa mu banhu unopiwa n’hingo we kuzwadzanya banhu ne Ndzimu, eyisa zwipo ne zwibhayilo zwe zwibi.
English2
He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness.
African Kalanga
Unotubula bhata zubuyanana ibabo banotjinya ngohaya luzibo, se naiye ekuligwa nokong'wa.
English3
This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
African Kalanga
Ndizo wali akafanila dusa tjibhayilo tje zwibi zwizwe ne zwe banhubo.
English4
No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.
African Kalanga
Akuna unozwipa mamo ekube Ntungamili we Bapirisiti, koga wakafanila dang'wa ne Ndzimu sekwa kwakadang'wa Aroni.
English5
So Christ also did not take upon himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.”
African Kalanga
Ndizo sayikoko Khirisiti aazozwipa mamo ekube Ntungamili we Bapirisiti, koga wakapiwa ne Ndzimu iwo wakati kunli, “U Nkololo wangu, nasi ndabe Tate babo.”
English6
And he says in another place, “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”
African Kalanga
Sekwa wakaleba pamwe panhu uti, “Unowobe mpirisiti ne kusingapele, mu ndongoloso ya Melikizedeki.”
English7
During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.
African Kalanga
Mu butjilo gugwe muno mu hango, Jesu wakabe etembezela ne tjililo ekumbila ne mihodzi, ku Ndzimu iwo wakabe ungantjidza mu lufu. Ngono Ndzimu ukan'wha ngoteta kukwe.
English8
Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered
African Kalanga
Nenguba akabe ali Nkololo, wakazwidiya wha ne dziyila kwaakadziyila ndiko.
English9
and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him
African Kalanga
Wakati awha ne buhhalo, kabe nsenya we kutjidziwa kwabo bose banon’wha kusingapele.
English10
and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
African Kalanga
Ndzimu ukan'dana Ntungamili we Bapirisiti kuyendidzana ne ndongoloso ya Melikizedeki.
English11
We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn.
African Kalanga
Ne kwaikoku kunjinji kwatingaleba, koga kwakasima kutjenesa, ngobe makazwina zebe.
English12
In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
African Kalanga
Ngoti nenguba mu lubaka guno makafanila kube badiyi, mutjahaka mmwe kumudiya kakale zwidiyo zwe kutanga zwe dama le Ndzimu. Mohaka nkaka pana kuti muhake zodliwa zwakabhata.
English13
Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.
African Kalanga
Ngobe iye unotjila ne nkaka utjimwana, aana luzibo gwe dama le ndulamo.
English14
But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
African Kalanga
Zodliwa zwakabhata nde zwe bakulukulu, nde zwe bana njalakang'wa dzakawolobeleka ngohingisiwa kuthubukanya tjakalulwama ne tjisakalulwama.
