Hebrews 12
1 We [know about] many people like that [who showed they trusted in God]. They are like a crowd of spectators [who are cheering for us inside a stadium] [MET]. Knowing that, we must put away all the things that hinder us, [as a runner puts aside everything that would hinder him because they are heavy] [MET]. Especially we must put away sinful actions that [hinder us, as a runner] sets aside clothes he does not need, clothes that would entangle him [MET]. Let us [wholeheartedly strive to achieve what God has planned for us, as someone] in a race wholeheartedly runs the course that is before him [MET].
Bara nani tunda nati kilin nin gbardang ligozi niyizu inba, nati filin vat nimon igetek ile na iba ti nari tisu kulapi, seng kunodino nari, na tisu ucum nin nshau kibinai ile na ina ceo nbun bite.
2 And let us [keep our minds on] Jesus, [as a runner] keeps his eyes on [the goal] [MET]. Jesus is the one we should imitate in the way he perfectly trusted [God. When he died on] the cross he endured it as he suffered greatly [MTY], instead of [thinking about the things he would] rejoice about [later]. He disregarded being disgraced by [dying that way]. He is now sitting at the place of highest honor [MTY] at the throne [where God rules].
Na ti ceo iyizi bite kitin Yesu, unan kelu nin ti nlau nyinnu sa uyenu bite, ulenge na ulanzu nmang iwa ceo nbun mye, a tere kibinai nin niu, uraini nin nlanzu ncinn, amini wa so ncara uleme kuteet tigo Kutelle.
3 [Jesus] patiently endured it when sinful people acted so hostilely against him. Try to act the way he did, so that you do not give up [trusting] God or become discouraged.
Bara iwa yeneghe ulenge na awa teru kibinai nin nliru unanzang kiti nanan kulapi udu litime, sa nworu uwa dira sa kibinai tifi tenene.
4 While you have struggled against [being tempted to] sin, you have not yet bled [and died because of resisting evil, as Jesus did].
Fe udak nene usa nari sa usu nnono nin kulapi udu kubi na uba gutunu nmii.
5 Do not forget [RHQ] these words [that Solomon spoke to his son, that are the same as God] would exhort you as his children: My child, pay attention [LIT] when the Lord is disciplining you, and do not be discouraged when the Lord punishes you [DOU],
Fe umini nshawa ukpinu nagang uta munu nafo nono, “gono nigh na uwa yassu uhoro Kutelle ba, sa kidowo kuffi kubi na utana amini nkele fi”
6 because it is everyone whom he loves whom the Lord disciplines, and he punishes everyone whom he accepts as his child.
Bara Kutelle din su uhoro nlenge na adinin su mye, akuru a kpizo gono kanga na ki sereghe.
7 It is in order that God may discipline you that he requires you to endure the disagreeable things [that happen to you]. [When God disciplines you] he is treating you as a father treats his children. All fathers [RHQ] discipline their children [LIT].
Tere kibinai nin dumunu nafo uhorori, Kutelle din su nin ghinu nafo nono mye, bara kame gonari duku ulenge na ucif mye din sughe uhoro ba?
8 So, if you have not experienced God disciplining you just like he disciplines all his other children, you are [not true children of God] [MET]. [You are like] illegitimate children; [no father disciplines them].
Bara asa idi sa uhoro, ulenge na vat bite ba se nanye, anug ba lawa nono nihem ana nin mye ba.
9 Furthermore, our natural fathers disciplined us [when we were young], and we respected them for doing that. So we should certainly more readily accept God our spiritual Father disciplining us, with the result that we live eternally [RHQ]!
Ukpinue ku, tidinin nacif nanya inyulele idin su nari uhro tinani di dortu nani, na tiba durtu ucif bite kang unan nfip nin nlai ya?
10 Our natural fathers disciplined us for a short time in a way that they considered right, [but it wasn’t always right], but God always disciplines us [in a right way], to help us. He does it so that we may be holy as he is.
Bara acif bite asa usu nari uhoro kubi baat, nafo na uso nani gegeme, bara Kutelle asa asu nari uhoro tinana yita gegeme, tinan koso nlai ligowe.
11 During the time that God is disciplining us, that does not seem to be something about which we should rejoice. Instead, it is something that pains us. But later it causes those who have learned from it to be peaceful and to [live] righteously.
Na adin lanzu nmang nhoro ba kube ba, bara nani udin konu, vat nin nani udu nbune asa uda nin nsheu, a kiden kiti nalenge na ina dursuzo nani.
12 So, [instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted], renew yourselves [MET] spiritually.
Bara nani ghantinan acara mine ale na adira, allung mine na ata yototo, kpinan anin agang tutun.
13 Go straight forward [in your Christian life] [MET], in order that believers who are uncertain about their faith [will imitate you] and not ([leave God’s way/] useless [to God]) [MET]. Instead, they will be spiritually restored [MET] as an injured and useless limb is restored.
Taan tibau nabunu mine ddrt, bara vat nlenge na adi ugurgu na iwa tighe alasin ba, bara nani ashin.
14 Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy.
Suun lisosin lisheu nan nanit vat, ikuru iso lau, twa dira nlau, na bi bayenu ciklare ba.
15 Beware that none of you stops [trusting in] God, [who has done kind things for us that we did not deserve] (OR, Beware that you have never [experienced] God kindly [saving you]). Be on guard lest any of you [act in an evil way towards others], because your doing that will [grow like] [MET] a root [grows into a big plant], and the result [of your] doing that will be that many believers will sin and become unacceptable to God.
Suun seghe bara na ina kalla among nanya nse naliheri Kutella ba, nin wonu na iwa so litino ngwagwai nayi na liba bamum tinanzang, nin bunkurunu gbardang.
16 Do not let anyone be immoral, or be irreligious as Esau was. He exchanged the rights he had as a firstborn son for only one meal.
Suun seghe na iwase unan nzina, sa unan sali ndortu Kutelle nafo Isuwa, ulenge bara imonli awa lewu ugadu ngono nfari.
17 You know that after he did that, he wanted to receive [what his father would promise to give him if] he blessed him. But [his father] was unable [to change what he had already done]. And Esau found no way to change things, even though he sought tearfully to do that.
Bara inung yiru nin woro uka kidughe, kubi na awa ti kibinai nworu ase ugadu nmare, iwa nazughe mun, bara na awa se kubi nworu adiu ucife kutyin ba, vat nin woru awa pizuru kang nin nmizin.
18 In coming [to God] you have not [experienced things like what the Israeli people experienced] at [Sinai] Mountain. [They] approached [a mountain that God told them they] should not touch. [They approached] a blazing fire, and it was gloomy and dark [DOU], and there was a hurricane/cyclone.
Bara na anug wa dak likup na isa idudo, likup nlii nlah, nsirti, bibit nin ngurzunu.
19 They heard a trumpet sounding and they heard [God] speak. The result was that those who heard it pleaded for God not to speak to them like that again.
Na anug wa dak inan pee awulu/Alantun sa tigbulang nanya liwui, na tiba ti alenge na idin latizu linin isu kucikusu, nworu na awa kuru abellin nani ntong tigbulan nlira ba.
20 When [God] commanded them saying, “If [a person or] even an animal touches this mountain, [you] must [kill him/it by] throwing stones at him/it,” they were terrified.
Bara na iwanya ilatiza uleli uduka ba, “Assa ko finawa ntene nduldo likuppe, iba filisu fi nin natala.
21 Truly, because Moses was terrified after seeing what happened [on the mountain], he said, “I am trembling because I am very afraid!”
Bara imon fiu wari wadi na Musa wa woro “meng fiu wadai ntunna nketuzu.
22 Instead, [it is as though] you have come to [the presence of God in heaven] [MET]. [That is like what your ancestors did when they came to worship] God on Zion Hill, in Jerusalem, in the city of God who is all-powerful. You have come (OR, you are coming) to where there are countless angels, who are rejoicing as they have gathered together.
Nin nani iwa dak litala Nurushalima, nin ndu kagbir Kutelle nlai, Urushalima kitene kani, a nono kadura Kutelle amui likure di nanya nbuki.
23 You have joined all the believers [who have privileges like] firstborn sons, whose names [God] has written down in heaven. You have come to God, who will judge everyone. You have come to where the spirits of God’s people are, people who lived righteously [before they died], and who now have been made perfect [in heaven].
Ina ni na dak kiti nzuru vat nono npari na tisaa mine di kitene kani, kiti Kutelle unan nwucu kidegen vat, a udu nfip nanit alau alenge na idi dedei.
24 You have come to Jesus, who arranged a new covenant [between us and God]. You have accepted [what he accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died on the cross. His doing that made it possible for God to forgive us]. That is better than the blood of Abel, [who just] wanted revenge because his brother Cain murdered him.
Inani na dak kiti Yesu ule na adi kiyitik nalikwali apese, nin nzamunu nmii mongo na midi nliruwe katin unmii Habila.
25 Beware that you do not refuse to listen to [God] who is speaking to you. The Israeli people did not escape [God punishing them] when [Moses] (OR, [God]) warned them here on earth. So we shall surely not escape [God punishing us] if we reject him when he warns us from heaven! [RHQ]
Yenjen iwa nari ulenge na adi nliruwe, bara asa na isorto ba kubi na inari ulenge na idin gbaru munu nanya inye, arike kidegen na tiba sortu ba tiwa kpilin nin kidung kiti nlenge na adi kitene kani.
26 The earth shook [PRS] then when he spoke [MTY] [at Sinai Mountain]. But now he has promised, “I will shake the earth again, one more time, but I will shake heaven too.”
Nkoni kube liwui mye ba zillinu uye, bara nene ame nasu nari alikawali a woro “udak nene meng ba zillinu na uye cas ba, tutun nin kitene kani”.
27 The words “again, one more time” indicate that things [on earth] will be shaken {that [he] will shake things [on earth]}, meaning that he will set aside all that [he] has created, in order that the things [in heaven] that cannot be shaken {that nothing can shake} may remain forever.
Tigbulang tone “tukunna ukpinne ku” ndursu ukalla nimon ile na idin zilluwe, ilenge imone na ina ke ininin, bara ilenge imone na ina zillin inin ba ilawa ku.
28 So, let us thank God that we are becoming members of a kingdom that nothing can shake. Let us worship/serve God in a way that pleases him by being greatly in awe [DOU] before him.
Bara nani, useru kpin tigo kanga na kiwasa kizillino ba, na arike su ugodiya, nin nanya nani ti tumuzun Kutelle nin nyinnu nin fiu a uni ndia.
29 Remember that the God we [worship/serve] is like a fire that burns up everything [that is impure] [MET]!
Bara Kutelle bite ulari un kileo.
