Hebrews 6English

Bahebheru 6African Kalanga

English1
Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God,
African Kalanga
Ndizo ngwenu ngatisiyeni zwidiyo zwe kutanga nekwa Khirisiti tiyendilembeli ne zwe buwhola. Tisiteye kakale pfiwa ye zwidiyo nekwe kuhanduka mu mihingo isina lubhatsho ne kugalamoyo mu Ndzimu,
English2
instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
African Kalanga
zwidiyo zwe kubvubikiwa nenge zwe biga maboko ne zwe muka kwe bafi nenge zwe kusumikilisiwa kusingapele.
English3
And God permitting, we will do so.
African Kalanga
Towothama woku ha Ndzimu ubvuma.

It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
African Kalanga
Ngobe akutotubuka handula kakale ibabo bakabe bawana tjedza bakalabila tjipo tje kudzimu, bakabe ne gobe le Meya yakayengemala,
English5
who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age,
African Kalanga
kakale bakalabila zipa kwe dama le Ndzimu ne masimba e misi inohha,
English6
if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
African Kalanga
ha befupatila handuka kwabo, banobambula Nkololo we Ndzimu kakale, benlengudza.
English7
Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.
African Kalanga
Ngobe nnda unong'wa vula inona kukudza mitjelo una lubhatsho muna ibabo baunolimigwa, unowanisiwa mhahhambuya ne Ndzimu.
English8
But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.
African Kalanga
Koga ha umela miwha ne zwihoho auna n’hingo, umu mbatsha dze kulongwa bhiso, bhelelo lawo whupisiwa.
English9
Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are confident of better things in your case–things that accompany salvation.
African Kalanga
Nenguba tilebeleka sa ikoku ne kwenyu badiwa, togalabgwe kuti mowowana mhahhambuya inohhisa jidzo.
English10
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.
African Kalanga
Ngobe Ndzimu ate kuli kuti auzolulwama kwawungahayila hanya n’hingo wenyu ne ludo gwamakalakidza ne kwawo mu bhatsha bayengemali sekwa mutja thama nangwenu.
English11
We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure.
African Kalanga
Toyemula kuti mmwe ne mmwe wenyu alakidze kumuse meya mu kuwhisisa malebeswa e kugalabgwe kuswikila ku bupelo.
English12
We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
African Kalanga
Kuti ndizo musibe simbe, koga mube bayedzi baibabo bakati ne kugalamoyo nenge moyonlefu bakaamutjila kugadziwabgwe.
English13
When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself,
African Kalanga
Ngobe Ndzimu wakati uthama tjibvumano na Abhurahama, ukatuna ne zina lawo sekwakabe kusina mmwe nkulu pawuli wawakabe ukatuna naye.
English14
saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.”
African Kalanga
Wakatuna uti, “Ne malebeswa ndowomutila mhahhambuya kakale athama kuti uwande.”
English15
And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.
African Kalanga
Abhurahama kati alindila ne moyonlefu, kaamutjila tjaakabe agadziwabgwe.
English16
Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument.
African Kalanga
Banhu banotuna ne mmwe nkulu pabali, ngono mu kusawililana kwabo kose, kutuna ndiko kunoligila ndebo.
English17
Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath.
African Kalanga
Ndzimu wakati uhaka lakidza bagalinhaka mbumbiko isingahanduke ye kugadzabgwe kwawo kwawakabapa ne zila inogadzamoyo, ukatuna,
English18
God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged.
African Kalanga
kuyita kuti ne zwithu zwibili zwisingahanduke zwausingake ukabona Ndzimu nlandu muzwili, iswi takatihha tihaka dihhilo tikulumbidzike kwazo kubhatisa kugalabgwe kwakabigiwa mbeli kwedu.
English19
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,
African Kalanga
Tina kugalabgwe ikoku se midzi ye butjilo gwedu, kugalabgwe kunginila tjemukati mu ng'umbana itja mukati hule kwe tjisitilo,
English20
where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
African Kalanga
ndiko Jesu kwaakangina ali ntangidzi alimilile iswi, kabe Ntungamili we Bapirisiti ne kusingapele kuyendidzana ne ndongoloso ya Melikizedeki.
