Ahebri 6
1 Tsono tiyeni tisangoyima pa maphunziro oyambirira enieni a Khristu koma tipitirire kuti mukule msinkhu. Tisaphunzitsenso zinthu zomwe zili ngati maziko, monga za kutembenuka mtima kusiya ntchito zosapindulitsa pa moyo wosatha, za kukhulupirira Mulungu,
Therefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,
of the teaching of washings, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of everlasting judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Ndipo Mulungu akalola, tidzaterodi.
And this we will do if God permits.
4 Nʼkosatheka kuwabwezanso anthu amene nthawi ina anawunikiridwa. Iwowa analawapo mphatso yochokera kumwamba, nʼkulandira nawo Mzimu Woyera.
For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, (aiōn g165)
6 Popeza anabwerera mʼmbuyo, nʼkosatheka kuti atembenukenso mtima chifukwa akupachikanso Mwana wa Mulungu ndi kumunyozetsa poyera.
and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.
7 Nthaka yolandira mvula kawirikawiri nʼkubala mbewu zopindulitsa oyilima, Mulungu amayidalitsa.
For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it, and brings forth a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing from God;
8 Koma nthaka yobereka minga ndi nthula ndi yopanda phindu ndipo ili pafupi kutembereredwa. Matsiriziro ake idzatenthedwa mʼmoto.
but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
9 Okondedwa anga, ngakhale tikuyankhula zimenezi, ife tikudziwa kuti muli nazo zinthu zabwino zomwe zimabwera pamodzi ndi chipulumutso.
But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.
10 Mulungu ndi wolungama, sangayiwale ntchito zanu ndi chikondi chanu chimene munamuonetsa pothandiza anthu ake monga mmene mukuchitirabe tsopano.
For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.
11 Ife tikufuna kuti aliyense wa inu aonetse changu chomwechi mpaka kumapeto, kuti zichitikedi zomwe mukuyembekezera.
We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,
12 Ife sitikufuna kuti inu mukhale aulesi, koma mutsatire anthu amene, pokhulupirira ndi kupirira, akulandira zimene zinalonjezedwa.
that you won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherited the promises.
13 Pamene Mulungu ankamulonjeza Abrahamu, popeza panalibe wamkulu womuposa, amene akanamutchula ndikulumbira mwa Iye, analumbira mwa Iye yekha kuti,
For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself,
14 “Ine ndidzakudalitsa ndithu, ndipo ndidzakupatsa zidzukulu zambiri.”
saying, "I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you."
15 Ndipo Abrahamu atayembekezera mofatsa, analandira zimene anamulonjezazo.
Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
16 Anthu amalumbira mʼdzina la wina amene akuwaposa, ndipo lumbiro lotere limatsimikizira zomwe zayankhulidwa ndi kuthetsa mikangano yonse.
For people swear oaths by something greater, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
17 Momwemonso Mulungu pofuna kutsimikizira anthu amene adzalandire lonjezo, kuti Iye sangasinthe maganizo, anatsimikiza lonjezo lakelo ndi lumbiro.
In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;
18 Mulungu anachita zinthu ziwiri, lonjezo ndi lumbiro, zimene sizingathe kusintha ndipo Mulungu sangathe kunama. Choncho Mulungu akutilimbikitsa mtima ife amene tinathawira kwa Iye kuti tichigwiritsitse chiyembekezo chimene tinalandira.
that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
19 Chiyembekezo chimenechi tili nacho ngati nangula wa moyo wathu. Nʼchokhazikika ndi chosagwedezeka ndipo chimalowa mʼkatikati mwa malo opatulika, kuseri kwa chinsalu chotchinga.
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the curtain;
