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;
Therefore, let us leave behind the elementary teaching about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of 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)
and of instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 To wabiro timo kamano, ka Nyasaye oyie.
And this we will do, if God permits.
4 Nikech jomaler mar Nyasaye oserienynegi mi obilo mich mar polo kendo obedo e lalruok achiel gi Roho Maler;
For it is impossible to renew to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
who have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the coming age, (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, since, to their own harm, they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and exposing him to public shame.
7 Lowo ma mwonyo pi koth mochwe kuome kendo machiego cham manyalo konyo joma opure, ema yudo gweth Nyasaye.
For land that has drunk the rain that often falls upon it, and produces a crop useful to those for whom it is cultivated, receives 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 land that bears thorns and thistles is worthless and on the verge of being cursed; its end is to be burned.
9 Kata wawuoyo kama, osiepewa mwageno, to wan gi gigeno kuomu kuom gik mabeyo moloyo, ma gin olembe mabeyo ma warruok nyago.
Even though we speak in this way, beloved, we are confident of better things in your case, things that pertain to salvation.
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; he will not forget your work and the labor of love that you have shown toward his name by serving the saints, as you still do.
11 Wadwaro ni ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu odhi nyime katimo maber nyaka giko, eka ubed gi ratiro mar yudo gik mugeno yudo.
We want each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope to the very end,
12 Ok wadwar ni ubed jo-samuoyo to wadwaro ni ulu kit joma yudo gik mosingi nikech giyie kendo gitimo kinda.
so that you will not be sluggish, but imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and patience.
13 Ka Nyasaye notimo singruok gi Ibrahim to nokwongʼore gi nyinge owuon, nikech ne onge ngʼat maduongʼ mohinge monyalo kwongʼore gi nyinge,
When God made his promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself,
14 nowacho niya, “Abiro gwedhi adier, kendo abiro miyi nyikwayo mangʼeny.”
saying, “I will surely bless yoʋ and multiply yoʋ.”
15 Omiyo bangʼe Ibrahim noyudo gima Nyasaye nosingore ni nomiye bangʼ rito gi kinda.
And so Abraham, having patiently endured, 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.
People swear by someone greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation.
17 Emomiyo ka Nyasaye ne dwaro lero tiend chenroge ma ok lokre ne joma yudo gweth mag singruok mage, noguro singruokneno gi kwongʼruok.
So when God wanted to show the unchangeable nature of his purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, he guaranteed it with an 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.
so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of 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,
We have this hope as a sure and steadfast anchor for the soul. It enters into the inner sanctuary behind the veil,
