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,
atō hētōrētāvatsākṣimēghai rvēṣṭitāḥ santō vayamapi sarvvabhāram āśubādhakaṁ pāpañca nikṣipyāsmākaṁ gamanāya nirūpitē mārgē dhairyyēṇa 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 viśvāsasyāgrēsaraḥ siddhikarttā cāsti taṁ yīśuṁ vīkṣāmahai yataḥ sa svasammukhasthitānandasya prāptyartham apamānaṁ tucchīkr̥tya kruśasya yātanāṁ sōḍhavān īśvarīyasiṁhāsanasya dakṣiṇapārśvē 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 ētādr̥śaṁ vaiparītyaṁ sōḍhavān tam ālōcayata tēna yūyaṁ svamanaḥsu śrāntāḥ klāntāśca na bhaviṣyatha|
4 You did not yet resist to blood—striving with sin;
yūyaṁ pāpēna saha yudhyantō'dyāpi śōṇitavyayaparyyantaṁ pratirōdhaṁ 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 upadēśa uktastaṁ kiṁ vismr̥tavantaḥ? "parēśēna kr̥tāṁ śāstiṁ hē matputra na tucchaya| tēna saṁbhartsitaścāpi naiva klāmya kadācana|
6 for whom the LORD loves He disciplines, and He scourges every son whom He receives”;
parēśaḥ prīyatē yasmin tasmai śāstiṁ dadāti yat| yantu putraṁ sa gr̥hlāti tamēva 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 tādr̥śaḥ putraḥ kaḥ?
8 And if you are apart from discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are bastards, and not sons.
sarvvē yasyāḥ śāstēraṁśinō bhavanti sā yadi yuṣmākaṁ na bhavati tarhi yūyam ātmajā na kintu jārajā ādhvē|
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 śārīrikajanmadātārō'smākaṁ śāstikāriṇō'bhavan tē cāsmābhiḥ sammānitāstasmād ya ātmanāṁ janayitā vayaṁ kiṁ tatō'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;
tē tvalpadināni yāvat svamanō'matānusārēṇa śāstiṁ kr̥tavantaḥ kintvēṣō'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 varttamānasamayē kēnāpi nānandajanikā kintu śōkajanikaiva manyatē tathāpi yē tayā vinīyantē tēbhyaḥ sā paścāt śāntiyuktaṁ dharmmaphalaṁ dadāti|
12 For this reason, lift up the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees;
ataēva 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 bhajyēta svasthaṁ tiṣṭhēt 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 ēkyabhāvaṁ yacca vinā paramēśvarasya darśanaṁ kēnāpi na lapsyatē tat pavitratvaṁ cēṣṭadhvaṁ|
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 patēt, yathā ca tiktatāyā mūlaṁ praruhya bādhājanakaṁ na bhavēt tēna ca bahavō'pavitrā na bhavēyuḥ,
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 lampaṭō vā ēkakr̥tva āhārārthaṁ svīyajyēṣṭhādhikāravikrētā ya ēṣaustadvad adharmmācārī na bhavēt 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 ēṣauḥ paścād āśīrvvādādhikārī bhavitum icchannapi nānugr̥hīta iti yūyaṁ jānītha, sa cāśrupātēna matyantaraṁ prārthayamānō'pi tadupāyaṁ na lēbhē|
18 For you did not come near to the mountain touched and scorched with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and storm,
aparañca spr̥śyaḥ parvvataḥ prajvalitō vahniḥ kr̥ṣṇāvarṇō mēghō 'ndhakārō jhañbhśa tūrīvādyaṁ vākyānāṁ śabdaśca naitēṣāṁ 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 śrōtārastādr̥śaṁ sambhāṣaṇaṁ yat puna rna jāyatē 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 spr̥śati tarhi sa pāṣāṇāghātai rhantavya ityādēśaṁ sōḍhuṁ tē nāśaknuvan|
21 and (so terrible was the sight), Moses said, “I am exceedingly fearful, and trembling.”
tacca darśanam ēvaṁ bhayānakaṁ yat mūsasōktaṁ 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 sīyōnparvvatō 'marēśvarasya 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,
svargē likhitānāṁ prathamajātānām utsavaḥ samitiśca sarvvēṣāṁ vicārādhipatirīśvaraḥ siddhīkr̥tadhārmmikānām ātmānō
24 and to a mediator of a new covenant—Jesus, and to blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than that of Abel!
nūtananiyamasya madhyasthō yīśuḥ, aparaṁ hābilō raktāt śrēyaḥ pracārakaṁ prōkṣaṇasya raktañcaitēṣāṁ 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 yatō hētōḥ pr̥thivīsthitaḥ sa vaktā yairavajñātastai ryadi rakṣā nāprāpi tarhi svargīyavaktuḥ parāṅmukhībhūyāsmābhiḥ kathaṁ rakṣā prāpsyatē?
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 pr̥thivī kampitā kintvidānīṁ tēnēdaṁ pratijñātaṁ yathā, "ahaṁ punarēkakr̥tvaḥ pr̥thivīṁ kampayiṣyāmi kēvalaṁ 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 ēkakr̥tvaḥ śabdō niścalaviṣayāṇāṁ sthitayē 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,
ataēva niścalarājyaprāptairasmābhiḥ sō'nugraha ālambitavyō yēna vayaṁ sādaraṁ sabhayañca tuṣṭijanakarūpēṇēśvaraṁ sēvituṁ śaknuyāma|
29 for our God [is] also a consuming fire.
yatō'smākam īśvaraḥ saṁhārakō vahniḥ|
