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,
ato hetoretāvatsākṣimeghai rveṣṭitāḥ santo vayamapi sarvvabhāram āśubādhakaṁ pāpañca nikṣipyāsmākaṁ gamanāya nirūpite mārge dhairyyeṇa dhāvāma|
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;
yaścāsmākaṁ viśvāsasyāgresaraḥ siddhikarttā cāsti taṁ yīśuṁ vīkṣāmahai yataḥ sa svasammukhasthitānandasya prāptyartham apamānaṁ tucchīkṛtya kruśasya yātanāṁ soḍhavān īśvarīyasiṁhāsanasya dakṣiṇapārśve samupaviṣṭavāṁśca|
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.
yaḥ pāpibhiḥ svaviruddham etādṛśaṁ vaiparītyaṁ soḍhavān tam ālocayata tena yūyaṁ svamanaḥsu śrāntāḥ klāntāśca na bhaviṣyatha|
4 You did not yet resist to blood—striving with sin;
yūyaṁ pāpena saha yudhyanto'dyāpi śoṇitavyayaparyyantaṁ pratirodhaṁ nākuruta|
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,
tathā ca putrān pratīva yuṣmān prati ya upadeśa uktastaṁ kiṁ vismṛtavantaḥ? "pareśena kṛtāṁ śāstiṁ he matputra na tucchaya| tena saṁbhartsitaścāpi naiva klāmya kadācana|
6 for whom the LORD loves He disciplines, and He scourges every son whom He receives”;
pareśaḥ prīyate yasmin tasmai śāstiṁ dadāti yat| yantu putraṁ sa gṛhlāti tameva praharatyapi|"
7 if you endure discipline, God bears Himself to you as to sons, for who is a son whom a father does not discipline?
yadi yūyaṁ śāstiṁ sahadhvaṁ tarhīśvaraḥ putrairiva yuṣmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ vyavaharati yataḥ pitā yasmai śāstiṁ na dadāti tādṛśaḥ putraḥ kaḥ?
8 And if you are apart from discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are bastards, and not sons.
sarvve yasyāḥ śāsteraṁśino bhavanti sā yadi yuṣmākaṁ na bhavati tarhi yūyam ātmajā na kintu jārajā ādhve|
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?
aparam asmākaṁ śārīrikajanmadātāro'smākaṁ śāstikāriṇo'bhavan te cāsmābhiḥ sammānitāstasmād ya ātmanāṁ janayitā vayaṁ kiṁ tato'dhikaṁ tasya vaśībhūya na jīviṣyāmaḥ?
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;
te tvalpadināni yāvat svamano'matānusāreṇa śāstiṁ kṛtavantaḥ kintveṣo'smākaṁ hitāya tasya pavitratāyā aṁśitvāya cāsmān śāsti|
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.
śāstiśca varttamānasamaye kenāpi nānandajanikā kintu śokajanikaiva manyate tathāpi ye tayā vinīyante tebhyaḥ sā paścāt śāntiyuktaṁ dharmmaphalaṁ dadāti|
12 For this reason, lift up the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees;
ataeva yūyaṁ śithilān hastān durbbalāni jānūni ca sabalāni kurudhvaṁ|
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that which is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed;
yathā ca durbbalasya sandhisthānaṁ na bhajyeta svasthaṁ tiṣṭhet tathā svacaraṇārthaṁ saralaṁ mārgaṁ nirmmāta|
14 pursue peace with all, and the separation, apart from which no one will see the LORD,
aparañca sarvvaiḥ sārtham ekyabhāvaṁ yacca vinā parameśvarasya darśanaṁ kenāpi na lapsyate tat pavitratvaṁ ceṣṭadhvaṁ|
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;
yathā kaścid īśvarasyānugrahāt na patet, yathā ca tiktatāyā mūlaṁ praruhya bādhājanakaṁ na bhavet tena ca bahavo'pavitrā na bhaveyuḥ,
16 lest anyone be a fornicator, or a profane person, as Esau, who in exchange for one morsel of food sold his birthright,
yathā ca kaścit lampaṭo vā ekakṛtva āhārārthaṁ svīyajyeṣṭhādhikāravikretā ya eṣaustadvad adharmmācārī na bhavet tathā sāvadhānā bhavata|
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.
yataḥ sa eṣauḥ paścād āśīrvvādādhikārī bhavitum icchannapi nānugṛhīta iti yūyaṁ jānītha, sa cāśrupātena matyantaraṁ prārthayamāno'pi tadupāyaṁ na lebhe|
18 For you did not come near to the mountain touched and scorched with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and storm,
aparañca spṛśyaḥ parvvataḥ prajvalito vahniḥ kṛṣṇāvarṇo megho 'ndhakāro jhañbhśa tūrīvādyaṁ vākyānāṁ śabdaśca naiteṣāṁ sannidhau yūyam āgatāḥ|
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,
taṁ śabdaṁ śrutvā śrotārastādṛśaṁ sambhāṣaṇaṁ yat puna rna jāyate tat prārthitavantaḥ|
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,”
yataḥ paśurapi yadi dharādharaṁ spṛśati tarhi sa pāṣāṇāghātai rhantavya ityādeśaṁ soḍhuṁ te nāśaknuvan|
21 and (so terrible was the sight), Moses said, “I am exceedingly fearful, and trembling.”
tacca darśanam evaṁ bhayānakaṁ yat mūsasoktaṁ bhītastrāsayuktaścāsmīti|
22 But you came to Mount Zion, and to [the] city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of messengers,
kintu sīyonparvvato 'mareśvarasya nagaraṁ svargasthayirūśālamam ayutāni divyadūtāḥ
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,
svarge likhitānāṁ prathamajātānām utsavaḥ samitiśca sarvveṣāṁ vicārādhipatirīśvaraḥ siddhīkṛtadhārmmikānām ātmāno
24 and to a mediator of a new covenant—Jesus, and to blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than that of Abel!
nūtananiyamasya madhyastho yīśuḥ, aparaṁ hābilo raktāt śreyaḥ pracārakaṁ prokṣaṇasya raktañcaiteṣāṁ sannidhau yūyam āgatāḥ|
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,
sāvadhānā bhavata taṁ vaktāraṁ nāvajānīta yato hetoḥ pṛthivīsthitaḥ sa vaktā yairavajñātastai ryadi rakṣā nāprāpi tarhi svargīyavaktuḥ parāṅmukhībhūyāsmābhiḥ kathaṁ rakṣā prāpsyate?
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”;
tadā tasya ravāt pṛthivī kampitā kintvidānīṁ tenedaṁ pratijñātaṁ yathā, "ahaṁ punarekakṛtvaḥ pṛthivīṁ kampayiṣyāmi kevalaṁ tannahi gaganamapi kampayiṣyāmi|"
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;
sa ekakṛtvaḥ śabdo niścalaviṣayāṇāṁ sthitaye nirmmitānāmiva cañcalavastūnāṁ sthānāntarīkaraṇaṁ prakāśayati|
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,
ataeva niścalarājyaprāptairasmābhiḥ so'nugraha ālambitavyo yena vayaṁ sādaraṁ sabhayañca tuṣṭijanakarūpeṇeśvaraṁ sevituṁ śaknuyāma|
29 for our God [is] also a consuming fire.
yato'smākam īśvaraḥ saṁhārako vahniḥ|
