Hebrews 6
1 Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
vayaṁ mṛtijanakakarmmabhyo manaḥparāvarttanam īśvare viśvāso majjanaśikṣaṇaṁ hastārpaṇaṁ mṛtalokānām utthānam
2 of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
anantakālasthāyivicārājñā caitaiḥ punarbhittimūlaṁ na sthāpayantaḥ khrīṣṭaviṣayakaṁ prathamopadeśaṁ paścātkṛtya siddhiṁ yāvad agrasarā bhavāma| (aiōnios g166)
3 And this will we do, if God permit.
īśvarasyānumatyā ca tad asmābhiḥ kāriṣyate|
4 For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
ya ekakṛtvo dīptimayā bhūtvā svargīyavararasam āsvaditavantaḥ pavitrasyātmano'ṁśino jātā
īśvarasya suvākyaṁ bhāvikālasya śaktiñcāsvaditavantaśca te bhraṣṭvā yadi (aiōn g165)
6 and [then] fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
svamanobhirīśvarasya putraṁ punaḥ kruśe ghnanti lajjāspadaṁ kurvvate ca tarhi manaḥparāvarttanāya punastān navīnīkarttuṁ ko'pi na śaknoti|
7 For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God:
yato yā bhūmiḥ svopari bhūyaḥ patitaṁ vṛṣṭiṁ pivatī tatphalādhikāriṇāṁ nimittam iṣṭāni śākādīnyutpādayati sā īśvarād āśiṣaṁ prāptā|
8 but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.
kintu yā bhūmi rgokṣurakaṇṭakavṛkṣān utpādayati sā na grāhyā śāpārhā ca śeṣe tasyā dāho bhaviṣyati|
9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak:
he priyatamāḥ, yadyapi vayam etādṛśaṁ vākyaṁ bhāṣāmahe tathāpi yūyaṁ tata utkṛṣṭāḥ paritrāṇapathasya pathikāścādhva iti viśvasāmaḥ|
10 for God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the love which ye showed toward his name, in that ye ministered unto the saints, and still do minister.
yato yuṣmābhiḥ pavitralokānāṁ ya upakāro 'kāri kriyate ca teneśvarasya nāmne prakāśitaṁ prema śramañca vismarttum īśvaro'nyāyakārī na bhavati|
11 And we desire that each one of you may show the same diligence unto the fulness of hope even to the end:
aparaṁ yuṣmākam ekaiko jano yat pratyāśāpūraṇārthaṁ śeṣaṁ yāvat tameva yatnaṁ prakāśayedityaham icchāmi|
12 that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
ataḥ śithilā na bhavata kintu ye viśvāsena sahiṣṇutayā ca pratijñānāṁ phalādhikāriṇo jātāsteṣām anugāmino bhavata|
13 For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself,
īśvaro yadā ibrāhīme pratyajānāt tadā śreṣṭhasya kasyāpyaparasya nāmnā śapathaṁ karttuṁ nāśaknot, ato hetoḥ svanāmnā śapathaṁ kṛtvā tenoktaṁ yathā,
14 saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
"satyam ahaṁ tvām āśiṣaṁ gadiṣyāmi tavānvayaṁ varddhayiṣyāmi ca|"
15 And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
anena prakāreṇa sa sahiṣṇutāṁ vidhāya tasyāḥ pratyāśāyāḥ phalaṁ labdhavān|
16 For men swear by the greater: and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
atha mānavāḥ śreṣṭhasya kasyacit nāmnā śapante, śapathaśca pramāṇārthaṁ teṣāṁ sarvvavivādāntako bhavati|
17 Wherein God, being minded to show more abundantly unto the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;
ityasmin īśvaraḥ pratijñāyāḥ phalādhikāriṇaḥ svīyamantraṇāyā amoghatāṁ bāhulyato darśayitumicchan śapathena svapratijñāṁ sthirīkṛtavān|
18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us:
ataeva yasmin anṛtakathanam īśvarasya na sādhyaṁ tādṛśenācalena viṣayadvayena sammukhastharakṣāsthalasya prāptaye palāyitānām asmākaṁ sudṛḍhā sāntvanā jāyate|
19 which we have as an anchor of the soul, [a hope] both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil;
sā pratyāśāsmākaṁ manonaukāyā acalo laṅgaro bhūtvā vicchedakavastrasyābhyantaraṁ praviṣṭā|
