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—
NOLAILA e waiho ana i na hua mua o na olelo a Kristo, e hele aku kakou imua a hiki i ke oo loa ana; aole e hoonoho hou ana i ke kumu no ka mini ana i na hana e make ai, a no ka mauaoio i ke Akua,
2 or teachings about baptism, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
A no ke ao ana i na bapetizo ana, a no ke kau ana o na lima, a no ke alahouana o ka poe make, a me ka hoopai mau loa ana. (aiōnios g166)
3 So let's get on with it, as God gives us the opportunity!
Oia ka kakou e hana'i, ina i pono ia i ke Akua.
4 It's impossible for those who once understood and experienced God's heavenly gift—who shared in receiving the Holy Spirit,
No ka mea, aole e hiki i ka poe i hoonaauaoia mai, a i hoao hoi i ka haawina mai ka lani mai, a i hoolakoia hoi e ka Uhane Hemolele,
A i ai hoi i ka olelo maikai a ke Akua, a me ka mana o ke ao e hiki mai ana, (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.
A ua haule iho no nae, aole e hiki ke hoala hou ia i ka mihi: ua kau hou aku lakou i ke Keiki a ke Akua ma ko kea no lakou iho, me ka hoomainoino aku ia ia ma ke akea.
7 Land that has been watered by rain, and produces crops for those who farm it, has God's blessing.
O kahi lepo hoi i inu iho i ka ua e haule pinepine ana maluna iho ona, a i hoohua mai no hoi i na hua e pono ai ka poe nana e mahi, ua hoomaikaiia mai ia e ke Akua.
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.
Aka, o kahi i hookupu mai i ke kakalaioa, a me ka nahelehele ooi, he pono ole ia, ua kokoke ia i ka hoahewaia mai; a o kona hope ka puhiia i ke ahi.
9 But dear friends, we believe better of you and your salvation, even if we talk like this!
Aka, e ka poe aloha, ke manao nei makou i na mea maikai aku no oukou, i na mea e pili ana i ke ola, i ko makou olelo ana no hoi pela.
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.
Aole he lokoino ke Akua i poina ai ka oukou hana ana, a me ke aloha a oukou i hoike aku ai i kona inoa, i ko oukou malama ana i ka poe hoano, a me oukou hoi e malama nei.
11 We want each of you to show the same kind of commitment, confident in God's hope until it's fulfilled.
Ke makemake nei no hoi makou e hoike oukou i ua hooikaika mau ana la, i maopopo loa ai ka manaolana a hiki i ka hopena.
12 Don't be spiritually lazy, but follow the example of those who through trusting in God and patience inherit what God has promised.
Aole e hoomolowa ana oukou, aka, e hoohalike ana me ka poe i loaa ka pono i hai mua ia mai ai, ma ka manaoio a me ke ahonui.
13 When God gave his promise to Abraham he could swear by no one greater so he took an oath on himself,
No ka mea, i ko ke Akua hai mua ana ia Aberahama, no ka hiki ole ia ia ke hoohiki ma o ka mea oi aku, ua hoohiki iho oia ma ona la iho,
14 saying, “I will definitely bless you, and multiply your descendants.”
I iho la, He oiaio hoi e hoomaikai loa aku ana au ia oe, a e hoonui loa ana au ia oe.
15 And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham received the promise.
A kali aku la hoi ia me ke ahonui, a loaa mai la ia ia ka pono i hai mua ia mai.
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.
O kanaka hoi ke hoohiki nei ma ka mea i oi aku; a o ka hoohiki ana e hooiaio ai, o ko lakou mea ia e oki ai ka hoopaapaa ana.
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.
Pela hoi ke Akua i kona makemake ana e hoomaopopo loa i ka poe hooilina o kana pono i ka luli ole ana o kona manao, ua hooiaio mai oia me ka hoohiki ana;
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.
Ma na mea luli ole elua, kahi i hiki ole ai i ke Akua he hoopunipuni, e hoohoihoi loa ia mai ai kakou ka poe i holo i ka puuhonua, e hoopaa i ka manaolana i waihoia mai ma ko kakou alo:
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.
I ko kakou mea e hoopili aku ai me he heleuma la no ka uhane, he paa, a he panee ole, i ka mea hoi i komo loa ae iloko ae o ka pale;
