Hebrews 12
1 Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Eya ta esi ɖaseɖilawo ƒe ha gã aɖe ƒo xlã mí ta la, mina míaɖe mɔxenu ɖe sia ɖe kple nu vɔ̃ si bla mí sesĩe la ɖa, eye mina míake duɖime si woɖo ɖi na mí la kple vevidodo.
2 looking to Yeshua, the founder and completer of the faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Mina míakpɔ Yesu dzi, ame si nye míaƒe xɔse ƒe gɔmeɖola kple nuwula, ame si le dzidzɔ si le ŋgɔ nɛ ta la, to atitsoga ƒe fu la me, eye mebui ŋukpee o. Ale wòyi ɖanɔ Mawu ƒe fiazikpui la ƒe nuɖusime.
3 For consider him who has endured such hostility from sinners against himself, so that you may not become tired and give up.
Mibu fukpekpe gã si me wòto le nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo si me ŋu, ale be miagagbɔdzɔ, eye dzi naɖe le mia ƒo o.
4 You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your struggle against sin;
Le miaƒe ʋiʋli le nu vɔ̃ si me la, mieʋli va se ɖe esime miaƒe ʋu kɔ ɖi haɖe o.
5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, "My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose heart when you are corrected by him.
Ke mieŋlɔ dzideƒonya si yɔ mi be viŋutsuwo la be. Nya lae nye be, “Vinye ŋutsu, mègado vlo Aƒetɔ la ƒe amehehe, eye dzi megaɖe le ƒowò, ne eka mo na wò o,
6 For whom the Lord loves he disciplines, and punishes every son he accepts."
elabena Aƒetɔ la ɖɔa ame siwo wòlɔ̃ la ɖo, eye wòhea to na ame sia ame si wòxɔ abe Via ŋutsu ene.”
7 If you are enduring discipline, God is dealing with you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?
Mito fukpekpe me abe miaƒe hehe ƒe akpa aɖe ene, elabena Mawu le mia hem abe via ŋutsuwo ene, elabena viŋutsu kae li ame si fofoa mehea to na o?
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not sons.
Ame sia ame toa hehe te, eya ta ne miawo mieto hehe te o la, ekema mienye viŋutsuvi vavãwo o, ke boŋ mienye ahasiviwo.
9 Furthermore, we had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
Gawu la, anyigbadzifofowo le mía si, ame siwo naa hehe mí, eye míetsɔ bubu na wo ɖe eta. Ke hã la, ele be míabɔbɔ mía ɖokui ɖe mía Fofo gbɔgbɔmetɔ te ɣe sia ɣi be míanɔ agbe!
10 For they indeed, for a few days, disciplined us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
Míaƒe anyigbadzifofowo hea to na mí hena ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe abe ale si wònyo na woe ene, gake Mawu ya hea to na mí hena míaƒe nyonyo be míakpɔ gome le eƒe kɔkɔenyenye me.
11 All discipline seems for the moment painful, not joyful; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.
Tohehe aɖeke meli si vivia ame nu o, ke boŋ evena, ke hã la, emegbe la, etsea dzɔdzɔenyenye kple ŋutifafa ƒe kuwo na ame siwo to tohehe la te.
12 Therefore, lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
Eya ta mido ŋusẽ miaƒe abɔ siwo gbɔdzɔ kple miaƒe klo beliwo.
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that which is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
Mita mɔ dzɔdzɔewo na miaƒe afɔwo, ale be atatututɔ matsi mɔ ta o, ke boŋ wòakpɔ dɔyɔyɔ.
14 Pursue peace with everyone, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord,
Midze agbagba ɖe sia ɖe be mianɔ anyi kple amewo katã le ŋutifafa me, eye mianɔ kɔkɔe, elabena kɔkɔenyenye manɔmee la, ame aɖeke mate ŋu akpɔ Aƒetɔ la o.
15 looking carefully lest there be anyone who falls short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by it many become defiled;
Mikpɔ egbɔ be Mawu ƒe amenuveve metsi ame aɖeke nu o, eye mikpɔ nyuie be gbe vɔ̃ aɖeke meto ke ɖe mia dome esi ava zu aɖi vɔ̃ɖi anɔ fu ɖem na ame geɖewo ahaƒo ɖi wo o.
16 that there be no sexually immoral or profane person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for one meal.
Mikpɔ nyuie be ame aɖeke mezu ahiãwɔla alo anye mawumavɔ̃la abe Esau, ame si tsɔ eƒe ŋgɔgbevinyenye kple eŋudomenyinuwo dzra ɖe nuɖuɖu zi ɖeka ko ta la ene o.
17 For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
Abe ale si mienya nyuie ene la, esi wòva be yeanyi yayra sia ƒe dome emegbe la, wogbe enana. Mɔ aɖeke meli si dzi wòato be woatrɔ nu sia o, togbɔ be edi yayra sia kple aɖatsi hã.
18 For you have not come to something that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and darkness, gloom, and storm,
Menye to si ŋuti womate ŋu aka asii, to si le bibim kple dzo la gbɔe mieva o; mieva viviti, afudodo kple ahom gbɔ.
19 the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,
Menye kpẽ ƒe ɖiɖi, gbe si le nu ƒom, ale be ame siwo see la ɖe kuku nɛ be megaƒo nu na yewo azɔ o la gbɔe mieva o;
20 for they could not stand that which was commanded, "If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned;"
elabena womate ŋu awɔ ɖe gbe si woɖe na wo be, “Ne lã aɖe gɔ̃ hã ka asi to la ŋu la, ele be woaƒu kpee wòaku” la dzi o.
21 and so fearful was the appearance, that Moses said, "I am terrified and trembling."
Nukpɔkpɔ la dzi ŋɔ ale gbegbe be Mose gblɔ be, “Mele dzodzom nyanyanya kple vɔvɔ̃.”
22 But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,
Ke mieva Zion to la gbɔ, dziƒo Yerusalem, si nye Mawu gbagbe la ƒe du la gbɔe mieva. Mieva mawudɔla akpeakpe siwo ƒo ƒu le dzidzɔ kpɔm la ƒe asaɖa me.
23 to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of righteous people made perfect,
Mieva ŋgɔgbevi la ƒe hame, ame si ƒe ŋkɔ woŋlɔ ɖe dziƒo. Mieva Mawu, ame si nye amegbetɔwo katã ƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃la la gbɔ. Mieva ame dzɔdzɔe siwo wowɔ blibo la ƒe gbɔgbɔwo gbɔ,
24 to Yeshua, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Hevel.
mieva Yesu, nubabla yeye la ƒe avuléla la gbɔ kple ʋuhehlẽ ɖi si ƒo nu nyuie wu Abel ƒe ʋu la gbɔ.
25 See that you do not refuse him who speaks. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
Mikpɔ nyuie be miagagbe toɖoɖo ame si le nu ƒom la o. Nenye be womete ŋu si, esi wogbe toɖoɖo eya ame si xlɔ̃ nu wo le anyigba dzi la nu o la, aleke míawo ya míate ŋu asii ne míegbe toɖoɖo ame si le nu xlɔ̃m mí tso dziƒo?
26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens."
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, eƒe gbe ʋuʋu anyigba, gake azɔ la, edo ŋugbe be, “Magaʋuʋu, menye anyigba ɖeɖe ko o, ke boŋ dziƒowo hã.”
27 This phrase, "Yet once more," signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
Nyakui “ga” ɖee fia be woaɖe nu si woate ŋu aʋuʋu la ɖa, nu siwo nye nuwɔwɔwo, ale be nu siwo womate ŋu aʋuʋu o la ɖeɖe ko natsi anyi.
28 So since we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us give thanks, through which we may offer service pleasing to God, with reverence and awe,
Eya ta esi míele mɔ kpɔm na fiaɖuƒe si womate ŋu aʋuʋu o la xɔxɔ la, mina míada akpe ɖe eta, eye míasubɔ Mawu le mɔ si adze la dzi le vɔvɔ̃ kple dzodzo nyanyanya me,
29 for our God is a consuming fire.
elabena dzo si fiaa nu lae nye míaƒe Mawu la.
