Hebrews 6
1 Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God,
vayaM mRtijanakakarmmabhyO manaHparAvarttanam IzvarE vizvAsO majjanazikSaNaM hastArpaNaM mRtalOkAnAm utthAnam
2 instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
anantakAlasthAyivicArAjnjA caitaiH punarbhittimUlaM na sthApayantaH khrISTaviSayakaM prathamOpadEzaM pazcAtkRtya siddhiM yAvad agrasarA bhavAma| (aiōnios g166)
3 And this we will do, if God permits.
IzvarasyAnumatyA ca tad asmAbhiH kAriSyatE|
4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,
ya EkakRtvO dIptimayA bhUtvA svargIyavararasam AsvaditavantaH pavitrasyAtmanO'MzinO jAtA
Izvarasya suvAkyaM bhAvikAlasya zaktinjcAsvaditavantazca tE bhraSTvA yadi (aiōn g165)
6 and then have fallen away—to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame.
svamanObhirIzvarasya putraM punaH kruzE ghnanti lajjAspadaM kurvvatE ca tarhi manaHparAvarttanAya punastAn navInIkarttuM kO'pi na zaknOti|
7 For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended receives the blessing of God.
yatO yA bhUmiH svOpari bhUyaH patitaM vRSTiM pivatI tatphalAdhikAriNAM nimittam iSTAni zAkAdInyutpAdayati sA IzvarAd AziSaM prAptA|
8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned.
kintu yA bhUmi rgOkSurakaNTakavRkSAn utpAdayati sA na grAhyA zApArhA ca zESE tasyA dAhO bhaviSyati|
9 Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are convinced of better things in your case—things that accompany salvation.
hE priyatamAH, yadyapi vayam EtAdRzaM vAkyaM bhASAmahE tathApi yUyaM tata utkRSTAH paritrANapathasya pathikAzcAdhva iti vizvasAmaH|
10 For God is not unjust. He will not forget your work and the love you have shown for His name as you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.
yatO yuSmAbhiH pavitralOkAnAM ya upakArO 'kAri kriyatE ca tEnEzvarasya nAmnE prakAzitaM prEma zramanjca vismarttum IzvarO'nyAyakArI na bhavati|
11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure.
aparaM yuSmAkam EkaikO janO yat pratyAzApUraNArthaM zESaM yAvat tamEva yatnaM prakAzayEdityaham icchAmi|
12 Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
ataH zithilA na bhavata kintu yE vizvAsEna sahiSNutayA ca pratijnjAnAM phalAdhikAriNO jAtAstESAm anugAminO bhavata|
13 When God made His promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,
IzvarO yadA ibrAhImE pratyajAnAt tadA zrESThasya kasyApyaparasya nAmnA zapathaM karttuM nAzaknOt, atO hEtOH svanAmnA zapathaM kRtvA tEnOktaM yathA,
14 saying, “I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.”
"satyam ahaM tvAm AziSaM gadiSyAmi tavAnvayaM varddhayiSyAmi ca|"
15 And so Abraham, after waiting patiently, obtained the promise.
anEna prakArENa sa sahiSNutAM vidhAya tasyAH pratyAzAyAH phalaM labdhavAn|
16 Men swear by someone greater than themselves, and their oath serves as a confirmation to end all argument.
atha mAnavAH zrESThasya kasyacit nAmnA zapantE, zapathazca pramANArthaM tESAM sarvvavivAdAntakO bhavati|
17 So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath.
ityasmin IzvaraH pratijnjAyAH phalAdhikAriNaH svIyamantraNAyA amOghatAM bAhulyatO darzayitumicchan zapathEna svapratijnjAM sthirIkRtavAn|
18 Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.
ataEva yasmin anRtakathanam Izvarasya na sAdhyaM tAdRzEnAcalEna viSayadvayEna sammukhastharakSAsthalasya prAptayE palAyitAnAm asmAkaM sudRPhA sAntvanA jAyatE|
19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,
