Hebru 6
1 Te dongah Khrih kawng tongnah olka te khueh uh sih. A soepnah la thoeih uh sih. Aka duek bibi lamkah yutnah,
Therefore leaving elementary instruction about the Christ, let us advance to mature manhood and not be continually re-laying a foundation of repentance from lifeless 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)
or of teaching about ceremonial washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and the last judgement. (aiōnios g166)
3 Hekah he Pathen loh ham hmoel atah n'saii uh bitni.
And advance we will, if God permits us to do so.
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, in the case of those who have once for all been enlightened, and have tasted the sweetness of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
and have realized how good the word of God is and how mighty are the powers of the coming Age, and then fell away-- (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.
it is impossible, I say, to keep bringing them back to a new repentance, for, to their own undoing, they are repeatedly crucifying the Son of God afresh and exposing Him to open shame.
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 land which has drunk in the rain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sakes, indeed, it is tilled, has a share in God's blessing.
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 only yields a mass of thorns and briers, it is considered worthless, and is in danger of being cursed, and in the end will be destroyed by fire.
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, even while we speak in this tone, have a happier conviction concerning you, my dearly-loved friends--a conviction of things which point towards salvation.
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 unjust so that He is unmindful of your labour and of the love which you have manifested towards Himself in having rendered services to His people and in still rendering 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.
But we long for each of you to continue to manifest the same earnestness, with a view to your enjoying fulness of hope to the very End;
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.
so that you may not become half-hearted, but be imitators of those who through faith and patient endurance are now heirs to 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 gave the promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,
14 Te vaengah, “Nang te kang uem rhoela rhep kang uem vetih nang te kam ping rhoela kan ping sak ni,” a ti nah.
saying, "Assuredly I will bless you and bless you, I will increase you and increase you."
15 Te dongah olkhueh te thinsen neh a dang tangloeng.
And so, as the result of patient waiting, our forefather obtained what God had promised.
16 Hlang loh a tanglue la a toemngam dae olhlo a caksaknah ham a bawt ah pakainah la boeih om.
For men swear by what is greater than themselves; and with them an oath in confirmation of a statement always puts an end to a dispute.
17 Te khuiah Pathen loh olkhueh dongkah rhopangkung taengah amah kah mangtaengnah olhlo neh khangmai la rhi a khang te muep tueng a ngaih.
In the same way, since it was God's desire to display more convincingly to the heirs of the promise how unchangeable His purpose was,
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 added an oath, in order that, through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for Him to prove false, we may possess mighty encouragement--we who, for safety, have hastened to lay hold of 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.
That hope we have as an anchor of the soul--an anchor that can neither break nor drag. It passes in behind the veil,
