< 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].
Seng raangtaan ibah, haaki arah loong ah kookchap hali. Erah raangtaan ih seng tootmui soon li lam adi tim phaklak la nyia rangdah ih tangjoh hali ah thinhaat ih, eno seng thung nah tootmui soon ah kamkam ih thun ino soon ih.
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].
Seng mik ah Jisu taangko sok ih, ngo suh ephang dowa ih ethoon tuk ih seng tuungmaang jeela erah wah asuh ah. Heh bangphak ni chamnaang thoi tah thin haatta! mamah liidih tenroon ah heh jaakhoh ni ban tongta, heh ih bangphak nah tek suh rakrek tenthun tah jeeta, eno amadi Rangte tongtheng dakchah ko adi tongla.
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.
Taatthun thaak an heh di mamah angta rah ah; Heh ih timthan jen naanta rangdah mina loong ih taat miksuk rumta di ah! Erah raangtaan ih sen teenuh teewah thung nak joong theng nyia nak toihaat theng.
4 While you have struggled against [being tempted to] sin, you have not yet bled [and died because of resisting evil, as Jesus did].
Sen roidong di rangdah damdoh mui raangtaan ih khoh laan mat ruh bah amadi tuk ih maang thaak naan kan.
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],
Rangte ih sen loong suh heh sah dakbi thun hanno tenchaan kot jengkhaap baat tahan rah beehaat tam ehan? “Nga sah, Teesu ih huk baat handoh sen thung ah koh an, Nak thungjoong an heh ih choophaan handoh ah.
6 because it is everyone whom he loves whom the Lord disciplines, and he punishes everyone whom he accepts as his child.
Timnge liidih Teesu ih marah minchan ha erah suh huk baat ha, eno marah heh sah ngeh ih ekap eha erah suh hoocham thuk ih la.”
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].
Maama wah ih hoocham thuk eha ah enaan etheng; Rangte ih sen loong suh heh sah lakbi thun halan ah sen chamnaang lan rah ih jat ha. Heh wah ih lataat hoocham thukka rah heh sah eje tam ah?
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].
Sen loong ah heh sah ang anno lah hoocham thuk thang mok ang an bah, sen loong ah sami tah ang kan, enoothong sen loong ah paansah.
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]!
Mina ang ibah sengwah loong ih hoocham thuk ehe, eno neng ah echoomjoot ehi. Erah ang abah chiiala Wah lakhui nah batang aleh timthan wangjih ang ah! eno heh suh look haat ano thing tongjih ang ah!
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.
Hansi di hewah loong ih chomroi raangtaan ih hoocham thuk hali marah neng raangtaan ih punla adi ah, enoothong Rangte reela abah seng loong ese ang raangtaan ih reela, enooba heh esa adoh roongroop ih.
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.
Seng ehoocham thuk ehali adi, chomroi raangtaan ih tenroon lah ang thang tenchi ang thuk hali. Ang abah uh linah marah mina asuh hoocham thuk ano sekthukla erah thaang ah kateng roidong di angla semroongroong thaang chotheng ah choh ah.
12 So, [instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted], renew yourselves [MET] spiritually.
Erah raangtaan ih an lak enaang elu rah toon uh, eno an lakuh mootnaang lu rah rong chap uh!
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.
Lamjun adoh khoom ruh eh uh, ekoong anglu rah toom rong khoom uh, erah nang ibah ede thong toom eh uh.
14 Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy.
Thoontang damdoh semroongroong angsuh thun uh, eno esa roidong ih tong suh thun uh, mamah liidih erah lah ang kaabah Teesu tah chotup ko ang ah.
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.
Thungkhom ih tongtheng Rangte minchan nawa ladok soon suh ah. Ngo mina uh khadikdik me asu bangphook ang ano mih chamthuk ah likhiik nak ang an.
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.
Ngo uh Isau likhiik mih damdoh roongjup roongtong lah angtheng edoleh chiiala lamdoh larook lata lah angtheng, phokhoh men ah phaksat jaasiit satdi sangta likhiik ah.
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.
Ejat nih ehan, lini hewah roomseetam ah chosuh taat nookta; enoothong heh engaak eta, timnge liidih ehuung taat ih ah bah uh marah reeta erah we lek suh lamhoh takah jeeta,
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.
Sen loong ah Ijirel mina Sinai Kong ni we luungta nyia rangnak khukhuh, moonheeheek, pong ange angta adi wang rumta likhiik tawang ran,
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.
luirong erongwah ih huungmot arah nyia eriing eraak ih arah angta. Mih loong ah ih miroot ah chaat arah khotok doh nak toom kah we chaat ih ngeh riing huung rumla,
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.
timnge liidih neng loong ih thaaraamta ah kapchaat rum ano tajen naan rumta, eradi amah liita, “Chok awak ih kong ah paanak abah kong rah ih tekpat etheng.”
21 Truly, because Moses was terrified after seeing what happened [on the mountain], he said, “I am trembling because I am very afraid!”
Marah noisokta erah micho miphaan ang kano Moses ih liita, “Ngah rapne emoot cho elang!”
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.
Enoothong sen Jaion Kong ni nyia Ething Rangte samnuthung adi wang tahan, marah rangmong Jerusalem liiha eno rangsah hantek tongla eradi ah.
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].
Ngo men rangmong ni raangha erah loong ah Rangte sah phokhoh nakhoh ih hoon ano tenroon theng adi lomtong lan, eno erah Rangte jiinni wang halan, marah ih mina kah dande ah nyia ese mina ah epun ih hoonla erah chiiala taang ni sen wang halan.
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.
Marah ih ena nuumiijeng khookhamte nyia Abel sih thaknang ibah ese thoon kakham hoonta sih hakte Jisu taang ni wang halan.
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]
Banban ih ban tong an, eno marah jengla erah lachaat thang nak eh an. Arah hatoh ni esa ruurang baat ha rah lachaat thang ih ngo tong ah erah mina abah tajen hottongka. Rangmong nawa marah jengla erah jeng lachaat mok ang ubah ehottong esuh echaan ang ah!
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.”
Erah tokdi heh jengkhaap nawa ih hatoh ah moot hoomta, Enoothong belam heh ih kakhamta, “Ngah ih jaasiit than we nyoong ang doh hatoh luulu lah angthang rangmong nep nyoong ang.”
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.
Jengkhaap loong “Taksiit we boot baatta” rah ih noisok ha timthan dong hoonchoi loong ah enyoong eh ah nyia tah tong thukka ang ah, erah doba marah lajen moot nyoongka erah ba chengtong ah.
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.
Lakookmi li thung angtheng timnge ah lajen moot nyoongka hasong ah choli, heh tenroon thuk suh seng echo lam ih nyia heh choomjoot lam ih eno lakookmi jenglam ih heh rang ah soom ih;
29 Remember that the God we [worship/serve] is like a fire that burns up everything [that is impure] [MET]!
Mamah liidih seng Rangte ah jirep thet haatte we.
