Hebrews 12
1 For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us,
Yɛn deɛ, yɛwɔ adansefoɔ bebree a wɔatwa yɛn ho ahyia. Momma yɛntwe yɛn ho mfiri akwansideɛ nyinaa ne bɔne a akyekyere yɛn dendeenden no nyinaa ho na yɛnyere yɛn ho wɔ mmirikakansie a ɛda yɛn anim no.
2 Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.
Momma yɛmfa yɛn ani nto Yesu a yɛn gyidie ahyɛaseɛ ne nʼawieeɛ gyina ne so no so. Asɛnnua no enti, wampa aba. Esiane anigyeɛ a na ɛretwɛn no no enti, animguasewuo a ɔwuu wɔ asɛnnua so no anha no. Enti, seesei ɔte Onyankopɔn ahennwa no nifa so.
3 Give thought to him who has undergone so much of the hate of sinners against himself, so that you may not be tired and feeble of purpose.
Dwene ɔhaw a ɔfaa mu no ho sɛ nnipa nnebɔneyɛfoɔ tan a wɔtanee no nso, ɔtumi gyinaa ano no. Ɛno enti mommpa aba.
4 Till now you have not given your blood in your fight against sin:
Na mo ne bɔne ko mu no, monnko nkɔduruu sɛ mobɛhwie mogya agu.
5 And you have not kept in mind the word which says to you as to sons, My son, do not make little of the Lord's punishment, and do not give up hope when you are judged by him;
Mo werɛ afiri nkuranhyɛsɛm a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ mo sɛ ne mma no sɛ, “Me ba, sɛ Awurade tene wo so a, tie no yie, na sɛ ɔka wʼanim a, mpa aba.
6 For the Lord sends punishment on his loved ones; everyone whom he takes as his son has experience of his rod.
Ɛfiri sɛ, obiara a Awurade pɛ nʼasɛm no, ɔtwe nʼaso, sɛdeɛ agya tene ɔba a ɔdɔ no so no.”
7 It is for your training that you undergo these things; God is acting to you as a father does to his sons; for what son does not have punishment from his father?
Amanehunu biara a ɛbɛto mo no, monnhinhim na momfa no sɛ Agya no ntenesoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, mo amanehunu no kyerɛ ntenesoɔ a Onyankopɔn retene mo so sɛ ne mma. Ɔba bi wɔ hɔ a nʼagya ntene ne so da?
8 But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame.
Sɛ wantene mo so sɛ ne mma no bi a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ monnyɛ ne mma kann.
9 And again, if the fathers of our flesh gave us punishment and had our respect, how much more will we be under the authority of the Father of spirits, and have life?
Sɛ yɛn agyanom a wɔwɔ asase so twee yɛn aso maa yɛbuu wɔn a, mpɛn ahe na ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛbrɛ yɛn ho ase ma honhom mu Agya no na yɛtumi tena ase?
10 For they truly gave us punishment for a short time, as it seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, so that we may become holy as he is.
Yɛn agyanom a wɔwɔ asase so ha twee yɛn aso sɛdeɛ wɔpɛ ɛberɛ tiawa bi. Nanso, yɛn yiedie enti, Onyankopɔn yɛɛ saa sɛdeɛ yɛn ho bɛte.
11 At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness.
Sɛ wɔtwe yɛn aso a, ɛma yɛn werɛ ho saa ɛberɛ no mu, na yɛn ani nnye. Na akyire no, wɔn a wɔfa saa asotwe no mu na wɔnya wɔn ho nteaseɛ no, wɔnya asomdwoeɛ na wɔtena ase tenenee mu.
12 For this cause let the hands which are hanging down be lifted up, and let the feeble knees be made strong,
Montenetene nsa ne nkotodwe a emu agogo no mu.
13 And make straight roads for your feet, so that the feeble may not be turned out of the way, but may be made strong.
Monsiesie akwan na momfa so, na mpakye anyɛ mmubuafoɔ, na mmom, wɔasa wɔn yadeɛ.
14 Let your desire be for peace with all men, and to be made holy, without which no man may see the Lord;
Mo ne nnipa nyinaa ntena ase asomdwoeɛ mu, na mommɔ mmɔden ntena ase tenenee mu. Anyɛ saa a, morenhunu Awurade.
15 Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;
Monhwɛ yie na mo mu bi annane nʼakyi ankyerɛ Onyankopɔn adom no. Monhwɛ yie na mo mu bi anyɛ sɛ afifideɛ a ɛyɛ nwono a ɛnyini ma ne bɔnwoma no ha afoforɔ.
16 And that there may not be any evil liver, or any man without respect for God, like Esau, who let his birthright go for a plate of food.
Monhwɛ yie na mo mu bi anyɛ odwamanfoɔ ne obi a ɔmfɛre Onyankopɔn sɛ Esau a ɔbuu nʼani guu nʼagyapadeɛ so tɔnee nʼabakan de gyee aduane no.
17 For you have knowledge that even long after, when he was desiring the blessing for his heritage, he was turned away, though he made his request frequently and with weeping; because the past might not be changed.
Na afei ɛduruu ɛberɛ bi a ɔpɛɛ sɛ ne nsa ka nʼagya hɔ nhyira no, ɔde kamee no no. Ɛwom sɛ ɔde nisuo peree sɛ wanya adwensakyera deɛ, nanso anyɛ yie.
18 You have not come to a mountain which may be touched, and is burning with fire, and to a black cloud, and a dark smoke, and a violent wind,
Monhyiaa nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu, ogyaframa, awerɛhoɔ, esum ne ahum sɛdeɛ Israelfoɔ no hyiaa Sinai Bepɔ no so ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn de ne mmara no maeɛ no.
19 And to the sound of a horn, and the voice of words, the hearers of which made request that not a word more might be said to them:
Ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔrebɔ totorobɛnto dendeenden a ɛnne bi a ɛreka kasa a ɛyɛ hu nenam mu, enti nnipa no srɛɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔnnyae kasa,
20 For the order which said, If the mountain is touched even by a beast, the beast is to be stoned, seemed hard to them;
ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔntumi nni mmara a na ɛka sɛ, “Sɛ mpo aboa koraa de ne ho ka bepɔ no a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsi no aboɔ kum no” no so.
21 And the vision was so overpowering that even Moses said, I am shaking and full of fear.
Na beaeɛ hɔ yɛ hu ara kɔsii sɛ Mose kaa sɛ. “Mesuro, na me ho popo.”
22 But you have come to the mountain of Zion, to the place of the living God, to the Jerusalem which is in heaven, and to an army of angels which may not be numbered,
Na mo deɛ moaba Sion Bepɔ so ne Onyankopɔn a ɔte ase no kuro, ɔsorosoro Yerusalem a ɔsoro abɔfoɔ mpempem wɔ mu no mu.
23 To the great meeting and church of the first of those who are named in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of good men made complete,
Moaba Onyankopɔn asafo mma dada a wɔn ani gye wɔn ho a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ ɔsoro no mu. Moaba Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ nnipa nyinaa ɔtemmufoɔ ne ateneneefoɔ a wɔayɛ wɔn pɛ no mu.
24 And to Jesus by whom the new agreement has been made between God and man, and to the sign of the blood which says better things than Abel's blood.
Moaba Yesu a ɔhyehyɛɛ apam foforɔ ne mogya a wɔapete a ɛka nneɛma pa ho asɛm sene Habel mogya no ho.
25 See that you give ear to his voice which comes to you. For if those whose ears were shut to the voice which came to them on earth did not go free from punishment, what chance have we of going free if we give no attention to him whose voice comes from heaven?
Monhwɛ mo ho so yie na moammu mo ani angu asɛm a ɔka so. Wɔn a wɔantie deɛ ɔkasa firii asase so no amfa wɔn ho anni. Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛatumi adwane afiri deɛ ɔkasa firi ɔsoro no ho?
26 Whose voice was the cause of the shaking of the earth; but now he has made an oath, saying, There will be still one more shaking, not only of the earth, but of heaven.
Ne nne wosoo asase saa ɛberɛ no, nanso seesei wahyɛ bɔ sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ asase nko na mɛsane awoso no, na mɛwoso soro nso bio saa ara.”
27 And the words, Still one more, make it clear that there will be a taking away of those things which are shaking, as of things which are made, so that there may be only those things of which no shaking is possible.
Nsɛm “Nso bio saa ara” no da no adi pefee sɛ ɔbɛwoso nneɛma a wɔbɔeɛ no na atutu afiri wɔn ananmu na nneɛma a wɔntumi nwoso no aka.
28 If then, we have a kingdom which will never be moved, let us have grace, so that we may give God such worship as is pleasing to him with fear and respect:
Momma yɛnna so ase, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛanya ahennie a wɔwoso no a ɛnyɛ yie. Momma yɛn ani nsɔ na yɛmfa ɛkwan a ɛbɛsɔ Onyankopɔn ani a ɛyɛ anidie ne suro so nsom no,
29 For our God is an all-burning fire.
ɛfiri sɛ, nokorɛ ni, yɛn Onyankopɔn yɛ ogya a ɛhye na ɛsɛe adeɛ.
