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—
Te dongah Khrih kawng tongnah olka te khueh uh sih. A soepnah la thoeih uh sih. Aka duek bibi lamkah yutnah,
2 or teachings about baptism, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
Pathen taengah tangnah, baptisma kawng thuituennah, kut tloengnah, aka duek thohkoepnah neh dungyan laitloeknah, khoengim te koep tloeng uh boel sih. (aiōnios g166)
3 So let's get on with it, as God gives us the opportunity!
Hekah he Pathen loh ham hmoel atah n'saii uh bitni.
4 It's impossible for those who once understood and experienced God's heavenly gift—who shared in receiving the Holy Spirit,
Vai khaw kho aka hmuh tih vaan kutdoe khaw aka ten, Mueihla Cim kah pueipo la aka om tangtae neh,
Pathen kah olka then neh aka lo ham tue kah thaomnah a ten phoeiah, (aiōn g165)
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.
aka bung tah Pathen capa te amah la koep a tai tih a yan dongah a thai la koep yutnah ham coeng thai pawh.
7 Land that has been watered by rain, and produces crops for those who farm it, has God's blessing.
Diklai loh a soah rhotui aka tla takuem te a ok dae amih aka tawn ham aka hoeikhang toi an a thoeng sak atah Pathen taengah yoethennah a dang.
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.
Tedae hling neh lota a thoeng sak atah lolhmaih tih rhunkhuennah yoei coeng. A hnukkhueng ah tah a hoehnah hamla om coeng.
9 But dear friends, we believe better of you and your salvation, even if we talk like this!
Tedae thintlo rhoek, nangmih ham n'thui uh tangloeng ngawn koinih khangnah neh aka then ngai hno te om tila n'ngaitang uh.
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.
Pathen tah nangmih kah bibi neh amah ming ham lungnah na tueng sak uh te khaw, hlangcim rhoek te na bongyong uh coeng tih na bongyong uh li te hmaai ham a halang moenih.
11 We want each of you to show the same kind of commitment, confident in God's hope until it's fulfilled.
Tedae nangmih khat rhip te a bawt duela na ngaiuepnah dongkah ngaikhueknah dongla thahluenah neh amah la na phoe uh hamla ka ngaih uh.
12 Don't be spiritually lazy, but follow the example of those who through trusting in God and patience inherit what God has promised.
Te daengah ni kolhnaw la na om uh pawt vetih tangnah, thinsennah rhangneh olkhueh aka pang rhoek kah mueiloh la na om uh eh.
13 When God gave his promise to Abraham he could swear by no one greater so he took an oath on himself,
Pathen loh Abraham te a caeng vaengah toemngam ham a tanglue a khueh pawt dongah amah neh amah te toemngam uh.
14 saying, “I will definitely bless you, and multiply your descendants.”
Te vaengah, “Nang te kang uem rhoela rhep kang uem vetih nang te kam ping rhoela kan ping sak ni,” a ti nah.
15 And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham received the promise.
Te dongah olkhueh te thinsen neh a dang tangloeng.
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.
Hlang loh a tanglue la a toemngam dae olhlo a caksaknah ham a bawt ah pakainah la boeih om.
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.
Te khuiah Pathen loh olkhueh dongkah rhopangkung taengah amah kah mangtaengnah olhlo neh khangmai la rhi a khang te muep tueng a ngaih.
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.
Te daengah ni hno panit loh a khangmai sak. Te khuiah Pathen te laithae thai pawt dongah ni ngaiuepnah a tawn te tuuk ham aka yong rhoek loh khangmai la thaphohnah n'khueh.
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.
Te ni hinglu dongkah cumkai la n'khueh uh tih hniyan khui ah khangmai la rhep kun rhenten coeng.
