Hebrews 6
1 For this reason, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, we may advance to perfection, not laying again a foundation of conversion from dead works, and of faith on God,
Na, kati tatou te korero i nga timatanga o ta te Karaiti ako, hoake tatou ki te tino tikanga; kaua e tuaruatia te whakatakoto i te turanga, ara i te ripeneta ki nga mahi mate, i te whakapono hoki ki te Atua,
2 of the teaching of immersions, also of laying on of hands, also of [the] resurrection of the dead, and of continuous judgment, (aiōnios g166)
I te whakaako ki nga iriiri, ki te whakapanga o nga ringaringa, ki te aranga o nga tangata mate, ki te whakawakanga mutungakore. (aiōnios g166)
3 and this we will do, if God may permit,
A ka meatia ano tenei e tatou ki te tukua e te Atua.
4 for [it is] impossible for those once enlightened, having also tasted of the heavenly gift, and having become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
Ko te hunga hoki kua oti te whakamarama, kua pa ki te mea i homai i runga i te rangi, kua whiwhi ki te Wairua Tapu,
Kua kitea ano te pai o ta te Atua kupu, me nga mea kaha o te ao meake nei puta; (aiōn g165)
6 and having fallen away, to renew [them] again to conversion, having crucified to themselves the Son of God again, and exposed to public shame.
Ki te taka atu ratou, e kore ratou e taea te whakahou ake ki te ripeneta; ka ripekatia houtia hoki te Tama a te Atua e ratou nei ano, ka meinga hoki kia tawaia nuitia.
7 For the earth, having drunk in the rain coming on it many times, and is bringing forth herbs fit for those because of whom it is also dressed, partakes of blessing from God,
Ko te whenua hoki e inu nei i te ua honohono te heke ki runga ki a ia, a e mea ana i te otaota pai kia tupu ake ma te hunga i mahia ai, ka whiwhi ki ta te Atua manaaki:
8 but that which is bearing thorns and briers [is] disapproved of, and near to cursing, whose end [is] for burning;
Ki te tupuria ia e te tataramoa, e te tumatakuru, ka whakakinoa, ka tata ki te kanga: ko tona whakamutunga ka tahuna.
9 but we are persuaded, concerning you, beloved, the things that are better, and accompanying salvation, though even thus we speak,
Otiia ahakoa penei noa ta matou korero, e u ana ano to matou whakaaro, e oku hoa aroha, ki nga mea pai ke atu kei a koutou, he mea hoki mo te whakaoranga.
10 for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labor of love that you showed to His Name, having ministered to the holy ones and ministering;
E kore hoki te Atua e he, e wareware ki ta koutou mahi, ki te uaua o to koutou aroha, i whakakitea mai e koutou ki tona ingoa, i a koutou i atawhai i te hunga tapu, a ka atawhai nei ano.
11 and we desire each one of you to show the same diligence, to the full assurance of the hope to the end,
Otiia e hiahia ana matou kia whakakitea taua uaua na ano e tenei, e tenei o koutou, kia taea rawatia te pumautanga o te whakaaro i tumanako ai koutou a te Mutunga ra ano:
12 that you may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.
Kia kaua e puhoi, engari kia rite ki ta te hunga i whakapono, i whakamanawanui, a riro mai ana i a ratou nga mei i whakaaria mai.
13 For God, having made promise to Abraham, seeing He was not able to swear by [any] greater, swore by Himself,
I ta te Atua whakaaringa mea ki a Aperahama, i te mea kahore tetahi i nui ake hei oatitanga, ka oatitia e ia a ia ake ano,
14 saying, “Blessing I will indeed bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you”;
Ka mea, Ina, ka manaakitia rawatia koe e ahau, ka whakanuia rawatia ano hoki koe.
15 and so, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise;
Heoi whakamanawanui ana ia, a riro ana i a ia te kupu whakaari.
16 for men swear by the greater, and the oath [is] for confirmation of the end of all their controversy,
Ko te mea nui ake hoki ta nga tangata e waiho ai hei oati: a ki a ratou hei mutunga mo nga whakahokihoki kupu katoa te oati whakau.
17 in which God, more abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise the immutability of His counsel, interposed by an oath,
No reira, i te mahara o te Atua kia tino whakakitea ki te hunga mo ratou nei te kupu whakaari te pumau o tona whakaaro, ka whakaurua mai e ia he oati,
18 that through two immutable things, in which [it is] impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong comfort, having fled for refuge, to lay hold on the hope being set before [us],
Kia rua ai nga mea pumau, he mea e kore ai e ahei kia teka te Atua, ma reira ka kaha ai he whakamarie mo tatou, mo te hunga kua rere ki te pupuri i te mea e takoto mai nei i te aroaro, e tumanakohia atu nei:
19 which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and entering into that within the veil,
Hei punga ano tenei ma tatou mo te wairua, he tumanako mau tonu, u tonu, tae tonu atu ano hoki ki te mea i roto i te arai;
20 to where a forerunner entered for us—Jesus, having become Chief Priest throughout the age after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
Ki te wahi kua tapoko atu nei a ihu ki reira, hei matamua mo tatou, i a ia i meinga hei tohunga nui mo a mua tonu atu, i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke. (aiōn g165)
