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].
Hiza, shaarada nu yuushuwan darida hayssa mela markkatti nu matan de7iya gisho nuna dhubbiya ubbaanne oykkidi haariya nagaraa diggidi, nu sinthan de7iya gaadde wothaa genccan woxxoos.
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].
Nu ammanuwas oge dooyidayssanne nu wurssetha poluwakko nuna gathiya Yesuusa bolla nu ayfiyaa wothoos. Yesuusi wodeppe de7iya ufayssaa gisho masqaliya waaya dandda7idi, yeella hayquwa kadhidi, Xoossaafe ushachcha baggan uttis.
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.
Hiza, hintte doccidi ufayssi qanxonna mela nagaranchchota ixuwa dandda7ida Yesuusa qoppite.
4 While you have struggled against [being tempted to] sin, you have not yet bled [and died because of resisting evil, as Jesus did].
Nagarara de7iya baaxiyan buroo suuthu gussana gakkanaw eqettibeekketa.
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],
Xoossay ba qaalan, ba naytada hinttena zoridayssa dogideta. “Ta na7aw, Xoossaa seera leqqofa; i nena seeriya wode ufayssi qanxofa.
6 because it is everyone whom he loves whom the Lord disciplines, and he punishes everyone whom he accepts as his child.
Goday ba dosiya uraa seeres; qassi ba na7ada ekkiya ubbaa garaafees” yaagees.
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].
Xoossay hinttena ba naytada seeriya wode genccite; Aaway seeronna na7i oonee?
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].
Xoossay ba nayta ubbaa seeres; hintte seerettonna ixxiko tuma iya nayta gidonnashin balakko nayta.
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]!
Qassi nuna yelida nu aawati nuna seerosona; nukka enttana bonchchoos. Yaatin, nuuni nu ayyaana Aawas waanidi aathi haarettoko?
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.
Hiza, nu aawati banttaw lo77o daanida mela guutha wodes nuna seeridosona. Shin Xoossay nu go77aas, nu iya geeshshatethan shaakettana mela seeres.
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.
Nuuni seerettiya wode yiloyeesippe attin ufayssenna. Shin guyeppe seeretethaa meezetida asaas seeray, saroy kumida xillotethaa ayfe ayfisees.
12 So, [instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted], renew yourselves [MET] spiritually.
Hiza, hintte arggaacida qesiyanne hintte daaburida gulbbata minthite.
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.
Wobbey paxana melappe attin aathi meqqonna mela hintte tohuwas suure oge giigisite.
14 Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy.
Asa ubbaara saro daanawunne geeshshatethan daanaw minnite; geeshshatethi baynna oonikka Godaa be7anaw dandda7enna.
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.
Hinttefe oodeskka Xoossaa aadho keehatethay pacconnaada, qassi camo ayfe ayfidi daro asaa tunisiyanne dhayssiya zerethada gidonna mela naagettite.
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.
Hintte giddon laymatiya asi woykko issi toho miya kathas ba bayratethaa toochchidi bayzida Eesawe mela asi doonna mela naagettite.
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.
Guyeppe Eesawey he anjjuwaa ekkanaw koyida wode digettidayssa ereeta. I he anjjuwaa afuthan minnidi koykkoka, demmanaw dandda7ibeenna; I nagaraappe simmanaw qaada demmibeenna.
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.
Hintte kushen boshettiya Siina deriyakko, eexiya tamaakko, dhumaakko, caaganaakko, gotiyakko,
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.
moyziya waasuwako woykko qaalay si7ettiya bessaako yibeekketa. He qaala si7ida asay hara guzha qaala si7onna mela woossidosona.
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.
Ays giikko, “Hari attoshin, do7i he deriya bochchiko, shuchchan cadettidi hayqo” yaagida kiitaa entti tookkanaw dandda7ibookkona.
21 Truly, because Moses was terrified after seeing what happened [on the mountain], he said, “I am trembling because I am very afraid!”
He haniyabay daro daganthiyaba gidida gisho Musey, “Taani yashshan kokkoras” yaagis.
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.
Shin hintte Xiyoone Deriyakko, de7o Xoossay de7iya Yerusalaame katamaakko, issife shiiqidi ufayttiya daro mukulu kiitanchchotakko saluwa yideta.
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].
Entta sunthay salon xaafettida woosa keethaa bayra naytakko, asa ubbaa pirddiya Xoossaakko, polo gidida xillo asaa ayyaanatakko yideta.
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.
Ooratha caaquwas giddo gididi sigethiya Yesuusakko, Aabela suuthaafe aadhdhiyabaa odiya wurxettida suuthaakko yideta.
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]
Hinttew odiya uraa qaala ixxas goonna mela naagettite. Kaseyssati sa7an gididi odida kiitaa si7onna ixxidi attiboonnabaa gidikko yaatin, salon gididi odiya qaala nuuni ixxas giikko waanidi attanee?
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.”
He wode iya qaalay sa7a qaathis. Shin ha77i taani, “Sa7a xalaala gidonnashin, issi toho zaarada saluwakka qaathana” yaagis.
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.
“Issi toho zaarada” giya qaalay qaaxxonnobay minnidi daana mela qaaxxiya medhettidabati dhayanayssa bessees.
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.
Nuuni qaaxxanaw dandda7onna kawotethaa ekkiya gisho Xoossaa galatoos; Xoossaa ufayssiya ogen bonchchoninne yashshatethan iya goynnos.
29 Remember that the God we [worship/serve] is like a fire that burns up everything [that is impure] [MET]!
Hiza, nu Xoossay tuma xuuggiya tama.
