Hebrews 12
1 Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, having put off every weight, and the closely besetting sin, may we run the contest that is set before us through endurance,
Therefore also we ourselves such a great having encompassing us a cloud of witnesses, weight having laid aside every and the easily entangling sin, with endurance may run the lying before us race
2 looking to the Author and Perfecter of the faith—Jesus, who, for the joy set before Him, endured a cross, having despised shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God;
looking to the of [our] faith founder and perfecter Jesus, who in view of what is lying before Him joy endured [the] cross [its] shame having despised, at right hand and of the throne of God (has sat down. *N(k)O*)
3 for again consider Him who endured such contradiction from the sinners to Himself, that you may not be wearied in your souls—being faint.
do consider fully for the [One] such great having endured from sinners against (Himself *N(k)(O)*) hostility, so that not you may grow weary in the souls of you fainting.
4 You did not yet resist to blood—striving with sin;
Not yet unto blood have you resisted against sin struggling
5 and you have forgotten the exhortation that speaks fully to you as to sons, “My son, do not despise [the] discipline of [the] LORD, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,
and you have forgotten the exhortation that you as to sons addresses: Son of Mine, not do regard lightly [the] discipline of [the] Lord, nor do faint by Him being reproved.
6 for whom the LORD loves He disciplines, and He scourges every son whom He receives”;
Whom for He loves [the] Lord disciplines, He scourges now every son whom He receives.
7 if you endure discipline, God bears Himself to you as to sons, for who is a son whom a father does not discipline?
As discipline endure, as sons you is treating God; what for (is *k*) son [is there] whom not disciplines [his] father?
8 And if you are apart from discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are bastards, and not sons.
If however without you are of discipline of which partakers they have become all, then illegitimate children and not sons you are.
9 Then, indeed, we have had fathers of our flesh, correctors, and we respected [them]; will we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live?
Furthermore indeed of the flesh of us fathers we were having correctors and we were respecting [them]; not (much *N(k)O*) (however *n*) more will we be in subjection to the Father of spirits and will live?
10 For they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were disciplining, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;
Indeed for during a few days according to which is seeming good to them they were disciplining [us], [He] however for which is [our] benefitting in order to share of the holiness of Him.
11 and all discipline for the present, indeed, does not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it.
All (now *NK(o)*) discipline for indeed those being present not it seems of joy to be but of grief, afterward however [the] fruit peaceable to those through it trained it yields of righteousness.
12 For this reason, lift up the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees;
Therefore the drooped hands and the enfeebled knees do lift up,
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that which is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed;
and paths straight (do make *N(k)O*) for the feet of you, so that not the lame may be disabled, may be healed however rather.
14 pursue peace with all, and the separation, apart from which no one will see the LORD,
Peace do pursue with all and holiness, which without no [one] will behold the Lord;
15 observing lest anyone be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;
observing lest any be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness up springing may trouble [you], and through (this *N(k)O*) may be defiled (*o*) many;
16 lest anyone be a fornicator, or a profane person, as Esau, who in exchange for one morsel of food sold his birthright,
lest [there be] any fornicator or profane person as Esau, who for meal one sold the birthright (of himself. *N(k)O*)
17 for you know that also afterward, wishing to inherit the blessing, he was disapproved of, for he did not find a place of conversion, though having sought it with tears.
You know for that even afterward wishing to inherit the blessing he was rejected; of repentance for place not he found although with tears having earnestly sought it.
18 For you did not come near to the mountain touched and scorched with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and storm,
Not for you have come to [that] being touched (mountain *K*) and kindled with fire and to darkness and (to gloom *N(k)O*) and to storm
19 and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of sayings, which those having heard begged that a word might not be added to them,
and of a trumpet to [the] sound and to a voice of declaration which those having heard they excused themselves [asking] not to be addressed to them [the] word;
20 for they were not bearing that which is commanded, “And if a beast may touch the mountain, it will be stoned, or shot through with an arrow,”
not [able] they were bearing for which is being commanded: If even If even a beast shall touch the mountain, it will be stoned (or with arrow will be shot down *K*)
21 and (so terrible was the sight), Moses said, “I am exceedingly fearful, and trembling.”
And thus fearful was the [thing] appearing [that] Moses said; Greatly afraid I am and trembling;
22 But you came to Mount Zion, and to [the] city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of messengers,
But you have come to Zion Mount and to [the] city of God [the] living, to Jerusalem [the] heavenly and to myriads of angels
23 to the assembly-place and Assembly of the Firstborn registered in Heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of righteous men made perfect,
to [the] assembly and to [the] church of [the] firstborn enrolled in [the] heavens and to [the] judge God of all and to [the] spirits of [the] righteous perfected
24 and to a mediator of a new covenant—Jesus, and to blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than that of Abel!
and of a covenant new [the] mediator to Jesus and to [the] blood of sprinkling (better thing *N(K)O*) speaking than that of Abel.
25 Watch out lest you refuse Him who is speaking, for if those did not escape who refused him who was divinely speaking on earth—much less we who turn away from Him who [speaks] from Heaven,
do take heed lest you may refuse the [One] speaking; If for they not (escaped *N(k)O*) on (*k*) earth having refused the [One] divinely instructing [them], (much *N(k)O*) less we ourselves the [One] from [the] heavens turning away from,
26 whose voice shook the earth then, and now He has promised, saying, “Yet once [more]—I shake not only the earth, but also Heaven”;
whose voice the earth shook at that time, now however He has promised saying; Yet once [more] I myself (will shake *N(k)O*) not only the earth but also heaven.
27 and this, “Yet once [more],” makes evident the removal of the things shaken, as of things having been made, that the things not shaken may remain;
This now Yet once [more], signifies that of the [things] being shaken removing as created, so that may remain the [things] not being shaken.
28 for this reason, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, may we have grace, through which we may serve God well-pleasingly, with reverence and fear,
Therefore a kingdom not to be shaken receiving we may have grace through which (we may serve *NK(o)*) well pleasingly God with reverence and (fear; *N(k)O*)
29 for our God [is] also a consuming fire.
Also for the God of us [is] a fire consuming.
