Hebrews 12
1 And therefore we also having so great a cloud of witnesses over our head, laying aside every weight and sin which surrounds us, let us run by patience to the fight proposed to us:
Ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻi he kāpui ʻakitautolu ʻe he ʻao ʻoe kau fakamoʻoni tokolahi pehē, ke tau siʻaki foki ʻae meʻa mamafa kotoa pē, mo e angahala ʻoku [tau ]moʻuangofua ki ai, pea tau feleleʻi ʻi he fakakukafi ʻae fakapuepue kuo tofi ʻi hotau ʻao.
2 Looking on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who having joy set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and now sitteth on the right hand of the throne of God.
ʻO sio pe kia Sisu ko e kamataʻanga mo e ngataʻanga ʻoe tui; ʻaia ne ne kātaki ʻae pekia ʻi he ʻakau, mo ne taʻetokanga ki he fakamā, ko e meʻa ʻi he fiefia naʻe tuku ʻi hono ʻao, pea kuo nofo eni ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe ʻafioʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
3 For think diligently upon him that endured such opposition from sinners against himself; that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds.
Ke mou tokangaʻi ia naʻa ne kātaki ʻae angatuʻu pehē mei he kau angahala kiate ia, telia naʻa mou fiu mo vaivai ʻi homou loto.
4 For you have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin:
ʻOku teʻeki ai ke mou fekuki ʻo aʻu ki he mate, ʻi he fekuki mo e angahala.
5 And you have forgotten the consolation, which speaketh to you, as unto children, saying: My son, neglect not the discipline of the Lord; neither be thou wearied whilst thou art rebuked by him.
Pea kuo ngalo ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae akonaki ʻaia ʻoku pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko e fānau, “Hoku foha, ʻoua naʻa ke taʻetokangaʻi ʻae tautea mei he ʻEiki, pe vaivai ʻi heʻene valokiʻi koe:
6 For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth; and he scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
He ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai ʻae ʻEiki ʻoku ne tautea, pea ʻoku ne teʻia ʻae foha kotoa pē ʻoku ne maʻu.”
7 Persevere under discipline. God dealeth with you as with his sons; for what son is there, whom the father doth not correct?
Kapau te mou kātaki ʻae tautea, pea ʻoku fai ai ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu ʻo taau mo e ngaahi foha; he ko e foha fē ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ke tauteʻi ʻe he tamai?
8 But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are made partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.
Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai tautea ʻakimoutolu, ʻaia ʻoku totofu ai kotoa pē, pea ta ko e tupu feʻauaki ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai moʻoni ko e ngaahi foha.
9 Moreover we have had fathers of our flesh, for instructors, and we reverenced them: shall we not much more obey the Father of spirits, and live?
Kaeʻumaʻā naʻe tautea ʻakitautolu ʻe he ngaahi tamai ʻo hotau sino, pea tau fakaʻapaʻapa ki ai: ʻe ʻikai lahi muʻa ʻetau fakavaivai ki he Tamai ʻoe ngaahi laumālie, pea moʻui?
10 And they indeed for a few days, according to their own pleasure, instructed us: but he, for our profit, that we might receive his sanctification.
He ko e moʻoni naʻa nau tautea ʻo faʻiteliha pe ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho siʻi pe; ka ʻoku fai ʻe ia ke ʻaonga, ke [tau ]kau ai ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoni.
11 Now all chastisement for the present indeed seemeth not to bring with it joy, but sorrow: but afterwards it will yield, to them that are exercised by it, the most peaceable fruit of justice.
Ko eni, ʻoku ʻikai ha fiefia lolotonga ha tautea, ka ko e mamahi: hili ange ia ʻoku tupu ʻae fua fakamelino ʻoe māʻoniʻoni kiate kinautolu kuo akonekina ai.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees,
Ko ia ke poupou hake ʻae nima kuo tāupe, mo e foʻi tui ʻoku vaivai;
13 And make straight steps with your feet: that no one, halting, may go out of the way; but rather be healed.
Pea ngaohi ʻae ʻaluʻanga totonu ki homou vaʻe, telia naʻa fakahēʻi ʻaia ʻoku pipiki; kae fakamoʻui muʻa ia.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness: without which no man shall see God.
Tuli ke mou melino mo e kakai kotoa pē, pea ki he māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ka ʻikai maʻu, ʻe ʻikai mamata ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha ki he ʻEiki:
15 Looking diligently, lest any man be wanting to the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up do hinder, and by it many be defiled.
ʻO vakavakai lahi telia naʻa tomui ha taha ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻae ʻOtua; telia naʻa ai ha aka kona ʻe tupu pea fakamamahiʻi ai [ʻakimoutolu], pea ʻuliʻi ai ʻae tokolahi;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau; who for one mess, sold his first birthright.
Telia naʻa ai ha taha feʻauaki pe ha manuki ʻoe meʻa tapu, ʻo hangē ko ʻIsoa, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatau hono lelei ʻoe ʻuluaki foha ʻaki ʻae meʻakai pe taha.
17 For know ye that afterwards, when he desired to inherit the benediction, he was rejected; for he found no place of repentance, although with tears he had sought it.
He ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻi he hili ia, pea ne fiemaʻu ʻae tāpuaki, naʻe tekeʻi ia: he naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ke liliu ʻaki hono loto, neongo ʻa ʻene kumi ia ʻi he feinga mo e loʻimata.
18 For you are not come to a mountain that might be touched, and a burning fire, and a whirlwind, and darkness, and storm,
He ʻoku ʻikai ke mou hoko ni ki he moʻunga ʻe faʻa alasi, ʻaia ne vela ʻaki ʻae afi, pea ki he ʻuliʻuli, mo e fakapoʻuli, mo e afā,
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words, which they that heard excused themselves, that the word might not be spoken to them:
Pea mo e pā mai ʻoe meʻa lea mo e ongo ʻoe ngaahi lea; ʻaia naʻe kole ai ʻakinautolu naʻe fanongo ke ʻoua naʻa toe leaʻaki kiate kinautolu:
20 For they did not endure that which was said: And if so much as a beast shall touch the mount, it shall be stoned.
(He naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa tali ʻaia naʻe fekau mai, “Pea naʻa mo e manu kapau ʻe lave ki he moʻunga, ʻe tolongaki ia ʻaki ʻae maka, pe hokaʻi ke ʻasi ʻaki ʻae foʻi tao:”
21 And so terrible was that which was seen, Moses said: I am frighted, and tremble.
Pea ko hono fakailifia fau ʻoe meʻa naʻe hā mai, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Mōsese, “ʻOku ou mātuʻaki manavahē, mo tetetete:”)
22 But you are come to mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the company of many thousands of angels,
Ka kuo mou hoko ni ki he moʻunga ko Saione, ki he kolo ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui, ki he Selūsalema mei he langi, pea ki he fakataha ʻoe kau ʻāngelo tokolahi taʻefaʻalaua.
23 And to the church of the firstborn, who are written in the heavens, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the just made perfect,
Ki he fakatahaʻanga lahi, pea ko e siasi ʻoe tangata angatonu kuo fakahaohaoa,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood which speaketh better than that of Abel.
Pea kia Sisu ko e fakalaloa ʻoe fuakava foʻou, pea ki he taʻataʻa ʻoku luluku, ʻaia ʻoku leaʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei lahi ʻi [he toto ʻo ]ʻEpeli.
25 See that you refuse him not that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke upon the earth, much more shall not we, that turn away from him that speaketh to us from heaven.
Vakai ke ʻoua naʻa mou taʻetokangaʻi ia ʻoku folofola. He kapau naʻe ʻikai hao ʻakinautolu naʻe taʻetokangaʻi ia naʻe lea ʻi māmani, ʻe fēfeeʻi ʻakitautolu, ʻo kapau te tau tafoki meiate ia ʻoku mei he langi?
26 Whose voice then moved the earth; but now he promiseth, saying: Yet once more, and I will move not only the earth, but heaven also.
ʻAia naʻe lulululu ʻa māmani ʻe hono leʻo ʻi he kuonga ko ia: ka kuo talaʻofa eni, ʻo pehē, “Ko e toe taha teu lulululu kae ʻikai ngata ki māmani pe, ka ko e langi foki.”
27 And in that he saith, Yet once more, he signifieth the translation of the moveable things as made, that those things may remain which are immoveable.
Pea ko e pehē, “Ko e toe taha,” ko e fakahā ʻoe hiki ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ko ia kuo luluʻi, ʻo taau mo e ngaahi meʻa kuo ngaohi, koeʻuhi ke tuʻumaʻu pe ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai faʻa luluʻi.
28 Therefore receiving an immoveable kingdom, we have grace; whereby let us serve, pleasing God, with fear and reverence.
Ko ia ʻi heʻetau maʻu ʻae puleʻanga, ʻe ʻikai faʻa luluʻi, ke tau kuku maʻu mo e ʻofa, ʻaia ke tau tauhi ʻaki ʻae ʻOtua ke ʻaonga, ʻi he fakaʻapaʻapa mo e manavahē:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
He ko e afi fakaʻauha ʻa hotau ʻOtua.
