Hebru 12
1 Hatdawkvah, hettelah kapap e kapanuekkhaikungnaw ni maimouh na kalup awh dawkvah, maimouh ni hnokari hoi kayawicalah kâbet thai e yonnae pueng hah takhoe awh vaiteh, maimae hmalah sut ta e kontung koe pha hanelah thathout laipalah yawng awh sei.
THEREFORE also seeing we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, laying aside every weight, and that most easily besetting sin, let us run with patience the race lying before us,
2 Yuemnae hah akung lah ta vaiteh maimouh na ka kuep sak e Jisuh hah takuetluet khen awh sei. Bawipa ni a hmalah sut ta e lunghawinae kecu dawk kayanae teh banglahai noutna laipalah thingpalam dawk a khang hnukkhu, Cathut e bawitungkhung aranglah a tahung.
earnestly looking up to Jesus the author and the finisher of faith; who, for the joy set before him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 Hatdawkvah nangmouh ni na lungreithai awh teh lungpout hoeh nahanelah, tamikayonnaw e kut dawk hoi hmuhmanae ka khang e Bawipa hah pouk awh.
Consider then attentively him that endured from sinners such opposition against himself, that ye be not wearied out, fainting in your souls.
4 Nangmouh ni yonnae na tuknae dawk thi lawng ditouh na khang awh hoeh rah.
As yet ye have not resisted unto blood, struggling against sin.
5 Hahoi, ka ca Cathut e yuenae hah pahnim hanh. Na yue nah na lungpout hanh.
And have you forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you, as children, “My son, count not lightly of the Lord’s childlike correction, nor faint when under his rebuke:
6 Cathut ni a lungpataw e naw teh ouk a yue. A coe e a canaw pueng teh ouk a phep tie hah camonaw dei pouh e patetlah nangmouh koe ka dei e thapoenae lawk hah na pahnim awh toung maw.
for whom the Lord loveth he correcteth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”
7 Cathut ni nangmouh teh a ca patetlah na khetyawt awh dawkvah na yuenae hah na khang awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na pa ni a yue hoeh e ca ao boimaw.
If ye patiently endure correction, God carries himself towards you as his children: for who is the son whom the father doth not correct?
8 Canaw pueng ni a khang awh e yuenae hah nangmouh ni na khang awh hoehpawiteh nangmouh teh ca katang nahoeh. Cata ca lah doeh na o awh.
If then ye are without correction, of which all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not children.
9 Talai takthai hoi ka kâkuen e napanaw ni a kut hoi na hemnae maimouh ni khang awh navah, ouk bari awh. Hot hlak vah, muitha koelae na Pa hah lawk hoe ngâi pouh mahoeh namaw. Hatnavah maimouh ni hring hloutnae hmu awh han.
If then we have had the fathers of our flesh for correctors, and reverenced them; shall we not much more be under subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hote napanaw niteh amamouh ahawi ati awh e patetlah dongdengca dueng doeh na yue awh. Bawipa niteh amae thoungnae hah maimouh ni hmawngkhai hanlah, maimouh hawi nahanelah na yue awh.
For they indeed for a few days as seemed proper to themselves corrected us; but he for our own advantage, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Yuenae tie pueng heh khang awh nateh lunghawinae lah awm hoeh, lungmathoenae lah pouk awh. Hatei, yuenae ka khang e taminaw teh a hnukkhu vah roumnae hoi kâkuen e lannae a coe awh.
Now all correction at the moment seemeth not to be cause for joy, but for sorrow; but after a while it produceth peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have thereby been disciplined.
12 Hatdawkvah, tha kayoun e kutnaw hoi a tha kaawm hoeh e khokpakhunaw hah tha awm sak awh.
Wherefore stretch out again the hands that hang down, and the paralytic knees;
13 A khok ka cu hoeh e taminaw ni hru kamhoutnae awm laipalah, a dam awh nahanlah, na cei awh nahane lamkalannaw hah rakueng awh.
and make strait paths for your feet, that what is halting may not be turned out of the way; but that it may rather be healed.
14 Tami puenghoi kâpocalah awm awh. Thoungnae laipalah apihai Bawipa hmawt mahoeh.
Earnestly seek peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
15 Nangmouh dawk apihai Cathut lungmanae hah coe laipalah na o awh hoeh nahanlah thoseh, kakhat poung e a tangpha a payang teh nangmouh runae na poe awh hoeh nahan, hote kecu dawk taminaw ni yon hoi a khin awh hoeh nahanlah thoseh,
carefully observing lest any of you fail of attaining the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and by it many be defiled;
16 kamsoumhoehe napui tongpa yonnae ka sak e tami ao hoeh nahanelah, bu vai touh ca hane dawk camin coungnae kâyawt e Esaw patetlah Cathut ka taket hoeh e na o awh hoeh nahanlah thoseh kahawicalah kâhruetcuet awh.
lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of bread parted with his birthrights.
17 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmouh ni na panue e patetlah ahni ni a hnukkhu vah yawhawinae râw coe han a ngai eiteh pahnawt lah ao teh mitphi hoi bout a hei ei nakunghai pankângai nahane tueng awm hoeh toe.
For ye know, that when afterwards he wished to inherit the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place for a change of his father’s mind, though he sought it earnestly with tears.
18 Nangmouh teh tek thai hmu thai e mon, hmai ka kang e, kahmot e, cakho tûilî,
For ye have not approached the mountain that could only be groped for, and that burned with fire, and the thick cloud, and the darkness, and the tempest,
19 mongka ueng lawk koe thoseh, kamthang kahawi koe thoseh na kahnai awh e nahoeh. Hote lawk kathainaw ni ahnimouh koe lawk bout dei hoeh nahanlah a kâhei awh.
and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which they who heard, earnestly begged that the discourse might not be directed to them:
20 Bangkongtetpawiteh, saring ni patenghai hote mon kânep pawiteh talung hoi kadout lah dêi han tie kâpoelawk hah ahnimouh ni khang thai awh hoeh.
for they could not bear the charge given, and “If but a beast touch the mountain he shall be stoned, or shot through with a dart:”
21 Hottelah hno a hmu awh e teh taki a tho poung dawk, Mosi ni ka taki lawi ka pâyaw, telah a ti.
and so terrible was the appearance, that Moses said, I am exceedingly afraid and trembling:
22 Hatei, nangmouh teh Zion mon koe thoseh, kahring Cathut e khopui, kalvanlae Jerusalem koe thoseh, touklek hoeh e kalvantami kamkhuengnae koe thoseh,
but ye are come unto mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,
23 Kalvan min thut lah kaawm e caminnaw e kawhmoun koe thoseh, taminaw pueng lawk ka ceng e Cathut koe thoseh, kuepnae koe ka phat e tami kalannaw e muithanaw koe thoseh,
and to the general assembly and church of the first-born registered in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men perfected,
24 Lawkkam katha e laicei Jisuh koe thoseh, Abel e thipaling hlakvah hoe ka talue e lawk ka dei e, kahei e thipaling koevah thoseh, pha awh toe.
and to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the blood of sprinkling, which speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 Nangmouh koe lawk ka dei e na pahnawt awh hoeh nahanlah kâhruetcuet awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, talai van lawk kapâphokung kapahnawtnaw teh lawkcengnae dawk hoi hlout thai awh hoehpawiteh, kalvan hoiyah lawk ka pâpho e hah maimouh ni pahnawt awh pawiteh hlout nahane lamthung hoe awm hoeh.
Beware that ye reject not him that speaketh: for if they escaped not, who rejected him, that upon earth spake by divine influence, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him who speaks from heaven:
26 Hatnavah, Bawipa e a lawk ni talai a kâhuet sak. Hatei atuteh, Bawipa ni talai dueng tho laipalah kalvan haiyah bout kâhuet sak han rah telah lawk a kam.
whose voice then shook the earth, but now he hath promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also the heaven.”
27 Bout tie lawk ni kâhuen thai hoeh e hnonaw hah kangning sak nahanelah, sak lah kaawm e kâhuen thai e hnonaw teh raphoe han ti a deingainae doeh.
Now this word yet once more manifests the removal of the things shaken, as of things formed, that the things not shaken may endure.
28 Hatdawkvah, maimouh teh kâhuen thai hoeh e uknaeram hah coe awh dawkvah, a lungmanae hah pholen awh haw sei. Hottelah lungmanae, pholennae hoi barinae lahoi Cathut ni a ngai e patetlah bawk awh haw sei.
Wherefore receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, may we hold fast the grace, by which we can offer to God acceptably divine service, with reverence and pious awe:
29 Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimae Cathut teh ka kang e hmai lah ao.
for our God is a devouring fire.
