Hebrews 12
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.
To pongah aicae loe kathah parai tamai baktiah hnukungnawk mah ven pongah, aicae han hmuenzit ah kaom hmuen hoi sak kazoi zaehaih to takhoe o ving si loe, aicae hma ah kaom anghakhaih ahmuen ah a phak o thai hanah, palungsawkhaih hoiah cawn o si,
2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
aicae tanghaih takung hoi akoephaih ah kaom Jesu to khen o si; anih hmaa ah suek ih anghoehaih pongah, Anih mah azathaih to poek ai ah, thinglam pongah patangkhang, vaihi loe Sithaw angraeng tangkhang bantang bangah anghnut boeh.
3 Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Poek nang pho o moe, tha na hnaem o han ai ah, kazae kaminawk mah pacaekthlaek ih Anih to poek oh.
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
Zaehaih misa na tuk o naah, athii long khoek to misa na tuh o vai ai vop.
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you.
Anih mah, Ka capa, Angraeng mah thuitaekhaih to patoek hmah, ang zoeh naah palungboeng hmah: a caanawk thuitaek baktiah ang thuih o ih thapaekhaih loknawk to na pahnet o boeh, tiah thuih.
6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.”
Angraeng mah palung ih kami to thuitaek moe, a caa baktiah talawk ih kami to danpaek.
7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
A thuitaekhaih to na pauep o naah, anih mah caanawk khetzawn baktiah ni ang khetzawn o; ampa mah thuitaek ai ih caa mi maw kaom?
8 If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.
Caanawk boih thuithaekhaih baktih toengah, thuitaekhaih to na tong o ai nahaeloe, nangcae loe a caa tangtang na ai ni, payang caa ah ni na oh o.
9 Furthermore, we have all had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we not much more submit to the Father of our spirits and live?
To khue ai aicae loe thuitaekkung taksa ampa to a tawnh o, nihcae to saiqathaih a paek o: to tiah nahaeloe dungzan ah kahing Muithla bang ih aicae ampa mah thuitaekhaih cae loe kawkruk maw saiqathaih a paek o aep han oh?
10 Our fathers disciplined us for a short time as they thought best, but God disciplines us for our good, so that we may share in His holiness.
Aicae ampanawk mah loe angmacae koehhaih baktiah oh hanah ni atue setta thung ang thuitaek o; toe Anih mah loe atho kaom, angmah ciimcaihaih baktiah oh thai han ih ni ang thuitaek o.
11 No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it.
Thuitaek nathuem ah loe, mi mah doeh anghoehaih tawn mak ai, palungset koiah ni oh: toe thuitaek ih kaminawk loe hnukkhuemah monghaih kaom toenghaih thingthai to hnuk o.
12 Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees.
To pongah thacak ai ban hoi khokkhunawk to thacak o sak ah;
13 Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
khok angbai kami to ngantui moe, lamcaeh thai ai kami ah oh han ai ah, katoeng na khok caehhaih loklam to paroep oh.
14 Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
Kaminawk boih hoi angdaeh oh loe, ciimcaihaih loklam to pazui oh, ciimcai ai ah loe mi mah doeh Angraeng to hnu thai mak ai:
15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many.
acoehaih hoiah khen oh, to tih ai nahaeloe Sithaw tahmenhaih hnu ai ah na om o moeng tih; paroeai kaminawk amhnongsak hanah, kakhaa thing tangzun hoiah tadok tacawt tahang ueloe, raihaih na paek o moeng tih;
16 See to it that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his birthright.
tamquta hoi nongpa nongpata zaehaih sah kami baktiah maw, to tih ai boeh loe vaito caak han koi buh zetta hoiah caa lu ah ohhaih zaw kami Esau baktih, Sithaw saiqathaih tawn ai kamhnong kami ah na om o moeng tih.
17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He could find no ground for repentance, though he sought the blessing with tears.
Na panoek o baktih toengah, to tiah oh pacoengah, Esau mah tahamhoihhaih qawk to a koeh let, anih mah mikkhraetui krak khoek to hnik cadoeh ampa poekhaih to amkhrai ai, anih to pahnawt sut.
18 For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom, and storm;
Nangcae loe ban hoi sui thai koiah kaom mae ah doeh, hmai angqonghaih ahmuen ah doeh, tamai kamnum hoi khoving ohhaih ahmuen ah doeh, takhisae songhaih ahmuen ah doeh,
19 to a trumpet blast or to a voice that made its hearers beg that no further word be spoken.
mongkah tuen hoi lok katuen ahmuen ah doeh na caeh o ai; to lok kathaih kaminawk mah nihcae khaeah lok thuih pae let han ai ah tahmenhaih hnik o:
20 For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”
(moi kasan mah mataeng doeh to mae to sui nahaeloe, thlung hoiah vah mat han oh, to tih ai boeh loe tazae hoiah thun han oh, tiah kaom lokpaekhaih to nihcae mah pazui o thai ai:
21 The sight was so terrifying that even Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”
to tiah a hnuk o ih hmuen loe zitthoh parai pongah Mosi mah, Ka zit loiah ka tasoeh, ) tiah thuih.
22 Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to myriads of angels
Toe nangcae loe Zion mae ah, kahing Sithaw ih vangpui van Jerusalem ah, kroek laek ai ah kamkhueng van kaminawk khaeah,
23 in joyful assembly, to the congregation of the firstborn, enrolled in heaven. You have come to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
kaminawk boih amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah, van ah ahmin kaom tapen tangsuek kricaabunawk khaeah, kaminawk boih lokcaekkung Sithaw khaeah, akoephaih thungah kaom katoeng kaminawk ih muithla khaeah,
24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
Abel ih athii pongah kahoih kue athii kraihaih kawng kathui, lokmaihaih kangtha Laicaeh Jesu khaeah ni na caeh o.
25 See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from heaven?
Nangcae khaeah lokthui kami ih lok to aek han ai ah acoe oh. Long ah lok kathui Mosi ih lok to aek o pongah, nihcae loe hraemhaih thung hoiah loih o thai ai nahaeloe, van hoiah lok kathui Anih ih lok to aicae mah angqoi o taak nahaeloe, kawkruk maw aicae loe hraemhaih thung hoi loih thai ai ah a om o aep tih:
26 At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.”
To ih lok atuen mah long to anghuensak: toe vaihi loe long khue na ai, van doeh kang huensak let han, tiah a thuih.
27 The words “Once more” signify the removal of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that the unshakable may remain.
Vaito anghuensak let han, tiah thuih koehhaih loe, Anghuen thai ai hmuennawk oh o poe thai hanah, sak ih hmuennawk to anghuensak boih ueloe, takhoe boih tih, tih haih ih ni.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.
Aicae loe anghuen thai ai prae to a hnuk o pongah, saiqathaih hoi zithaih hoiah Sithaw tok a sak o thai hanah, tahmenhaih to tawn o si.
29 “For our God is a consuming fire.”
Aicae ih Sithaw loe kangqong hmai ah oh.
