Jo-Hibrania 6
1 Kuom mano koro waweuru puonj michakogo ngʼeyo wach Kristo, to wadhiuru nyime mondo wadok joma otegno. Ok owinjore mondo wachak puonjou manyien weche michakogo bedo ja-Kristo, kaka lokruok weyo timbe matero ji e tho to gi yie kuom Nyasaye;
WHEREFORE, desisting from initiatory discourse respecting Christ, let us advance towards perfection; not again laying a foundation of repentance from dead works, and faith in God,
2 kod puonj kuom kit batiso mopogore opogore, kata kuom keto lwedo ewi ji, kata kuom wach chier aa kuom joma otho, kata kuom bura mabiro. (aiōnios g166)
of the doctrine of ablutions, and of imposition of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 To wabiro timo kamano, ka Nyasaye oyie.
And so we will do, if God permit.
4 Nikech jomaler mar Nyasaye oserienynegi mi obilo mich mar polo kendo obedo e lalruok achiel gi Roho Maler;
For it is not possible to renew again unto repentance those who have been once illuminated, and have tasted the celestial gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, (aiōn g165)
6 kopodho moweyo yie margi, to ok nyal konygi mi gilokre kendo, nikech gikelo chandruok kuomgi giwegi kuom guro Wuod Nyasaye e msalaba nyadiriyo, ka gimiyo ji chaye ratiro.
and yet have fallen away: for they crucify again to themselves the Son of God, and expose him to public infamy.
7 Lowo ma mwonyo pi koth mochwe kuome kendo machiego cham manyalo konyo joma opure, ema yudo gweth Nyasaye.
For the earth which imbibes the rain which often falls upon it, and bringeth forth herbage suitable for those by whom it is cultured, receiveth a blessing from God;
8 To ka bangʼ yudo koth maber to ochiego mana kuthe gi buya to oonge tich, kendo ochiegni yudo kwongʼ. Giko ibiro wangʼe e mach.
but if it produceth thorns and thistles, it is abandoned, and near the curse of barrenness, whose end will be for burning.
9 Kata wawuoyo kama, osiepewa mwageno, to wan gi gigeno kuomu kuom gik mabeyo moloyo, ma gin olembe mabeyo ma warruok nyago.
But, beloved, we are persuaded concerning you that things are better, and connected with salvation, though we thus speak.
10 Nyasaye en ja-adiera, omiyo wiye ok nyal wil gi tich maru kaachiel gihera musenyiso kukonyo joge, kendo ma pod udhi nyime kutimo.
For God is not unjust, to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have demonstrated in his name, having ministered assistance to the saints, and still ministering.
11 Wadwaro ni ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu odhi nyime katimo maber nyaka giko, eka ubed gi ratiro mar yudo gik mugeno yudo.
But we earnestly desire that every one of you do manifest the same diligence, in order to obtain the full assurance of hope unto the end:
12 Ok wadwar ni ubed jo-samuoyo to wadwaro ni ulu kit joma yudo gik mosingi nikech giyie kendo gitimo kinda.
that ye be not slothful, but imitators of those who, by faith and long suffering, are inheriting the promises.
13 Ka Nyasaye notimo singruok gi Ibrahim to nokwongʼore gi nyinge owuon, nikech ne onge ngʼat maduongʼ mohinge monyalo kwongʼore gi nyinge,
For God when he gave the promise to Abraham forasmuch as he had nothing greater to swear by, sware by himself,
14 nowacho niya, “Abiro gwedhi adier, kendo abiro miyi nyikwayo mangʼeny.”
saying, “Verily, blessing, I will bless thee, and multiplying, I will multiply thee.”
15 Omiyo bangʼe Ibrahim noyudo gima Nyasaye nosingore ni nomiye bangʼ rito gi kinda.
And so after long patient waiting he obtained the promise.
16 Joma timo singruok kwongʼore gi nying joma oloyogi gi duongʼ, kendo kwongʼruok ma gitimo golo kiawa moro amora e kind joma otimo winjruokgo.
For men indeed swear by something greater than themselves; and an oath for confirmation is with them conclusive in all disputes.
17 Emomiyo ka Nyasaye ne dwaro lero tiend chenroge ma ok lokre ne joma yudo gweth mag singruok mage, noguro singruokneno gi kwongʼruok.
And thus God, designing more abundantly to demonstrate to the heirs of promise the immutability of his will, pledged himself by oath,
18 Notimo kamano mondo, kuom gik moko ariyo, tiende ni singruok gi kwongʼruok, ma ok nyal lokore kendo ma ok nyal miyo Nyasaye bet ja-miriambo, wayud gweth mogundho, wan mwasetony koro wayudo jip motegno kwamako geno ma wan-go matek.
that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us;
19 Genowano osiro chunywa ka loch mogur motegno ma ok yiengni kendo ma gimoro ok nyal donje mi kethi. Odonjo nyaka ei kama ler mar lemo manie tok pasia,
which, as an anchor for our soul, we hold both sure and stedfast, and entering into the sanctuary within the vail,
