< Hebrews 6 >

1 So let's not get stuck on the basic teachings about Christ, but let's progress to a more mature understanding. We don't need to go over again the ideas of repenting from what we used to do, about trusting in God—
لِذَلِكَ، فَلْنَتْرُكْ تِلْكَ الأُمُورَ الأَوَّلِيَّةَ عَنِ الْمَسِيحِ، وَنَتَقَدَّمْ إِلَى النُّضْجِ الْكَامِلِ. وَلا نَعُودُ إلَى تِلْكَ الأُسُسِ الَّتِي تَعَلَّمْنَاهَا سَابِقاً، وَهِيَ: التَّوْبَةُ مِنَ الأَعْمَالِ الْمُمِيتَةِ، وَالإِيمَانُ بِاللهِ،١
2 or teachings about baptism, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
وَالنُّظُمُ الْمُخْتَصَّةُ بِطُقُوسِ الْمَعْمُودِيَّةِ، وَوَضْعُ الأَيْدِي، وَقِيَامَةُ الأَمْوَاتِ، وَالدَّيْنُونَةُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ. (aiōnios g166)٢
3 So let's get on with it, as God gives us the opportunity!
وَبِإِذْنِ اللهِ، سَنَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ!٣
4 It's impossible for those who once understood and experienced God's heavenly gift—who shared in receiving the Holy Spirit,
ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ الَّذِينَ قَدْ تَعَرَّضُوا مَرَّةً لِنُورِ الإِيمَانِ بِالْمَسِيحِ، فَذَاقُوا الْعَطِيَّةَ السَّمَاوِيَّةَ، وَصَارُوا مِنْ شُرَكَاءِ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ،٤
5 who had known God's good word and the power of the coming age— (aiōn g165)
وَذَاقُوا كَلِمَةَ اللهِ الطَّيِّبَةَ، وَشَاهَدُوا مُعْجِزَاتِ «الْعَالَمِ الآتِي»، (aiōn g165)٥
6 and then completely abandon God, for them to be brought back to repentance once more. They themselves have crucified the Son of God all over again and publicly humiliated him.
ثُمَّ ارْتَدُّوا، أُولَئِكَ يَسْتَحِيلُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَتَجَدَّدُوا ثَانِيَةً فَيَعُودُوا إِلَى التَّوْبَةِ. فَهُمْ يَجْنُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ إِذْ يَصْلِبُونَ ابْنَ اللهِ مَرَّةً ثَانِيَةً وَيَجْعَلُونَهُ عُرْضَةً لِلْعَارِ.٦
7 Land that has been watered by rain, and produces crops for those who farm it, has God's blessing.
وَلا عَجَبَ، فَالتُّرْبَةُ الَّتِي تَشْرَبُ الأَمْطَارَ النَّازِلَةَ عَلَيْهَا مِرَاراً كَثِيرَةً، ثُمَّ تُنْتِجُ نَبَاتاً يَنْفَعُ الَّذِينَ حَرَثُوهَا، تَنَالُ الْبَرَكَةَ مِنَ اللهِ!٧
8 But land that only produces weeds and thorns is worthless, and is about to be condemned. In the end all that can be done is to burn it.
وَلَكِنَّهَا، إِنْ أَخْرَجَتِ الشَّوْكَ وَالعُشْبَ البَرِّيَّ، تَكُونُ مَرْفُوضَةً وَتَسْتَحِقُّ اللَّعْنَةَ، وَمَا نِهَايَتُهَا إِلّا الْحَرِيقُ.٨
9 But dear friends, we believe better of you and your salvation, even if we talk like this!
أَيُّهَا الأَحِبَّاءُ، مَعَ أَنِّي قَصَدْتُ تَحْذِيرَكُمْ بِمَا قُلْتُهُ هُنَا، فَأَنَا مُقْتَنِعٌ بِأَنَّ خَلاصَكُمْ أَمْرٌ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ. إِذْ قَدْ عَمِلْتُمْ أَعْمَالاً فُضْلَى، تُرَافِقُ هَذَا الخَلاصَ.٩
10 God wouldn't be so unjust as to forget what you've done and the love you've shown for him by the care you've shown for fellow-believers—something you're still doing.
وَلَيْسَ اللهُ بِظَالِمٍ حَتَّى يَنْسَى عَمَلَكُمُ الْجَادَّ فِي إِظْهَارِ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ لَهُ عَنْ طَرِيقِ خِدْمَتِكُمْ لِلْقِدِّيسِينَ إِكْرَاماً لاسْمِهِ، الأَمْرُ الَّذِي قُمْتُمْ بِهِ قَبْلاً، وَتَقُومُونَ بِهِ الآنَ!١٠
11 We want each of you to show the same kind of commitment, confident in God's hope until it's fulfilled.
وَإِنَّمَا نَتَمَنَّى أَنْ يُظْهِرَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمُ اجْتِهَاداً مُمَاثِلاً فِي الْمُحَافَظَةِ حَتَّى النِّهَايَةِ عَلَى الثِّقَةِ الْكَامِلَةِ بِالرَّجَاءِ.١١
12 Don't be spiritually lazy, but follow the example of those who through trusting in God and patience inherit what God has promised.
وَذَلِكَ حَتَّى لَا تَتَكَاسَلُوا، بَلْ تَقْتَدُوا بِالَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ مَا وَعَدَ اللهُ بِهِ، عَنْ طَرِيقِ الإِيمَانِ وَالصَّبْرِ.١٢
13 When God gave his promise to Abraham he could swear by no one greater so he took an oath on himself,
لِنَأْخُذْ وَعْدَ اللهِ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ مَثَلاً. فَلَمَّا قَطَعَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ الْوَعْدَ، أَقْسَمَ بِنَفْسِهِ، إِذْ لَيْسَ هُنَالِكَ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يُقْسِمَ بِهِ.١٣
14 saying, “I will definitely bless you, and multiply your descendants.”
وَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُ: «لأُبَارِكَنَّكَ وَأُعْطِيَنَّكَ نَسْلاً كَثِيراً!»١٤
15 And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham received the promise.
وَهَكَذَا، انْتَظَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِصَبْرٍ فَنَالَ مَا وُعِدَ بِهِ.١٥
16 People swear on things that are greater than they are, and when they have some dispute the oath is taken as the final word on the matter.
فَالْوَاقِعُ أَنَّ النَّاسَ يُقْسِمُونَ بِالأَعْظَمِ، وَالْقَسَمُ عِنْدَهُمْ، يَضَعُ حَدّاً لِكُلِّ مُشَاجَرَةٍ لأَنَّهُ يَحْسُمُ الأُمُورَ.١٦
17 That's why God wanted to demonstrate more clearly to those who would inherit the promise that he would never ever change his mind.
وَلِذَلِكَ، لَمَّا أَرَادَ اللهُ أَنْ يُؤَكِّدَ بِصُورَةٍ قَاطِعَةٍ لِوَارِثِي وَعْدِهِ أَنَّ قَرَارَهُ لَا يَتَغَيَّرُ أَبَداً، ثَبَّتَهُ بِالْقَسَمِ.١٧
18 So by these two actions that can't be changed, and since it's impossible for God to lie, we can have total confidence, having run for safety to take hold of the hope God presented to us.
فَاسْتِنَاداً إِلَى وَعْدِ اللهِ وَقَسَمِهِ، وَهُمَا أَمْرَانِ ثَابِتَانِ لَا يَتَغَيَّرَانِ وَيَسْتَحِيلُ أَنْ يَكْذِبَ اللهُ فِيهِمَا، نَحْصُلُ عَلَى تَشْجِيعٍ قَوِيٍّ، بَعْدَمَا الْتَجَأْنَا إِلَى التَّمَسُّكِ بِالرَّجَاءِ الْمَوْضُوعِ أَمَامَنَا.١٨
19 This hope is our spiritual anchor—it's both certain and reliable, and it takes us past the curtain to the presence of God.
هَذَا الرَّجَاءُ هُوَ لَنَا بِمَثَابَةِ مِرْسَاةٍ أَمِينَةٍ ثَابِتَةٍ تَشُدُّ نُفُوسَنَا إِلَى مَا وَرَاءَ الْحِجَابِ السَّمَاوِيِّ.١٩
20 That's where Jesus went in on our behalf, because he had become a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
فَلأَجْلِنَا دَخَلَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ سَابِقاً لَنَا. وَهُوَ هُنَاكَ يَقُومُ بِمُهِمَّتِهِ نِيَابَةً عَنَّا بَعْدَمَا صَارَ رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ إِلَى الأَبَدِ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِيصَادَقَ! (aiōn g165)٢٠
