Hebru 6
1 Te dongah Khrih kawng tongnah olka te khueh uh sih. A soepnah la thoeih uh sih. Aka duek bibi lamkah yutnah,
So then, let us leave the beginning of the message of Christ and move forward to maturity. Let us not lay again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith in God,
2 Pathen taengah tangnah, baptisma kawng thuituennah, kut tloengnah, aka duek thohkoepnah neh dungyan laitloeknah, khoengim te koep tloeng uh boel sih. (aiōnios g166)
nor the foundation of teaching about baptisms, laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Hekah he Pathen loh ham hmoel atah n'saii uh bitni.
We will also do this if God permits.
4 Vai khaw kho aka hmuh tih vaan kutdoe khaw aka ten, Mueihla Cim kah pueipo la aka om tangtae neh,
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, who tasted the heavenly gift, who were sharers of the Holy Spirit,
and who tasted God's good word and the powers of the age to come, (aiōn g165)
6 aka bung tah Pathen capa te amah la koep a tai tih a yan dongah a thai la koep yutnah ham coeng thai pawh.
but who then fell away—it is impossible to restore them again to repentance. This is because they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and publicly shame him.
7 Diklai loh a soah rhotui aka tla takuem te a ok dae amih aka tawn ham aka hoeikhang toi-an a thoeng sak atah Pathen taengah yoethennah a dang.
For the land that drinks in the rain that often comes on it, and that gives birth to the plants useful to those for whom the land was worked—this is the land that receives a blessing from God.
8 Tedae hling neh lota a thoeng sak atah lolhmaih tih rhunkhuennah yoei coeng. A hnukkhueng ah tah a hoehnah hamla om coeng.
But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and is near to a curse. Its end is in burning.
9 Tedae thintlo rhoek, nangmih ham n'thui uh tangloeng ngawn koinih khangnah neh aka then ngai hno te om tila n'ngaitang uh.
But we are convinced about better things concerning you, beloved ones, things that concern salvation, even though we speak like this.
10 Pathen tah nangmih kah bibi neh amah ming ham lungnah na tueng sak uh te khaw, hlangcim rhoek te na bongyong uh coeng tih na bongyong uh li te hmaai ham a halang moenih.
For God is not so unjust that he would forget your work and the love that you have shown for his name, because you served the believers and still serve them.
11 Tedae nangmih khat rhip te a bawt duela na ngaiuepnah dongkah ngaikhueknah dongla thahluenah neh amah la na phoe uh hamla ka ngaih uh.
We greatly desire that each of you may show the same diligence to the end, in order to make your hope certain.
12 Te daengah ni kolhnaw la na om uh pawt vetih tangnah, thinsennah rhangneh olkhueh aka pang rhoek kah mueiloh la na om uh eh.
This is so that you will not become lazy, but imitators of those who by faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 Pathen loh Abraham te a caeng vaengah toemngam ham a tanglue a khueh pawt dongah amah neh amah te toemngam uh.
For when God made his promise to Abraham, he swore by himself, since he could not swear by anyone greater.
14 Te vaengah, “Nang te kang uem rhoela rhep kang uem vetih nang te kam ping rhoela kan ping sak ni,” a ti nah.
He said, “I will certainly bless you, and I will greatly increase you.”
15 Te dongah olkhueh te thinsen neh a dang tangloeng.
In this way, Abraham obtained what was promised after he had patiently waited.
16 Hlang loh a tanglue la a toemngam dae olhlo a caksaknah ham a bawt ah pakainah la boeih om.
For people swear by someone greater than themselves. At the end of each of their disputes, an oath serves as confirmation.
17 Te khuiah Pathen loh olkhueh dongkah rhopangkung taengah amah kah mangtaengnah olhlo neh khangmai la rhi a khang te muep tueng a ngaih.
When God decided to show more clearly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable quality of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath.
18 Te daengah ni hno panit loh a khangmai sak. Te khuiah Pathen te laithae thai pawt dongah ni ngaiuepnah a tawn te tuuk ham aka yong rhoek loh khangmai la thaphohnah n'khueh.
He did this so that by two unchangeable things—with which it is impossible for God to lie—we, who have fled for refuge, will have a strong encouragement to hold firmly to the hope set before us.
19 Te ni hinglu dongkah cumkai la n'khueh uh tih hniyan khui ah khangmai la rhep kun rhenten coeng.
We have this as a secure and reliable anchor for the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,
