Hebrews 6
1 So, we [(inc)] must not keep [discussing] the elementary principles about Christ. Instead, we must proceed [to the teaching that will make us spiritually] mature [MTY]. We must not [be people who always need someone to teach them] the elementary truths [about Christ that are like] [MET] a foundation. [I am referring to the teaching that people who do sinful] things must turn away from their sinful behavior, things that [those who are spiritually] [MET] dead do. [I am referring to the teaching] that people must believe in God.
Jättäkäämme sentähden Kristuksen opin alkeet ja pyrkikäämme täydellisyyteen, ryhtymättä taas uudestaan laskemaan perustusta: parannusta kuolleista töistä ja uskoa Jumalaan,
2 [I am referring to the teaching about what] various [Jewish and Christian] rituals for purifying people [signify. I am referring to the teaching about how elders enable people to receive spiritual gifts by] laying hands [on them] [MTY]. [I am referring to the teaching that God will] ([cause] those who have died to live again/raise people from the dead). And [I am referring to the teaching that God] will judge [some people and punish them] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
oppia kasteista ja kätten päällepanemisesta, kuolleitten ylösnousemisesta ja iankaikkisesta tuomiosta. (aiōnios g166)
3 [Instead of continuing to discuss these elementary truths], we [(inc)] (OR, I) will [go on to give people mature teaching], if God allows it.
Ja niin me tahdomme tehdä, jos vain Jumala sallii.
4 [I will explain why it is important to do that. Some] people have at one time fully understood [the message about Christ] [MET]. They have experienced [a relationship with Jesus Christ] that God [EUP/MTY] gave [to them]. They have received the Holy Spirit the same as [others have].
Sillä mahdotonta on niitä, jotka kerran ovat valistetut ja taivaallista lahjaa maistaneet ja Pyhästä Hengestä osallisiksi tulleet
5 They have experienced that God’s message is good. And by what they have experienced [now], they know how [God will work] powerfully in the future. If those people reject [the message about Christ], it will not be possible for anyone to persuade them to turn away from their sinful behavior again! (aiōn g165)
ja maistaneet Jumalan hyvää sanaa ja tulevan maailmanajan voimia, (aiōn g165)
6 What those [believers who later renounce the message about Christ do is as though] [MET] they themselves are nailing the Son of God to a cross again! They are causing others to publicly despise Christ.
ja sitten ovat luopuneet-taas uudistaa parannukseen, he kun jälleen itsellensä ristiinnaulitsevat Jumalan Pojan ja häntä julki häpäisevät.
7 Think about this: It is land on which rain has frequently fallen [PRS] and on which plants grow [PRS] that is useful for the people who prepare the land that God has blessed. [Similarly, it is those believers who have received many good things from God and who do good deeds/things that please God, whom God will bless] [MET].
Sillä maa, joka särpii sisäänsä sen päälle usein tulevan sateen ja kantaa kasvun hyödyksi niille, joita varten sitä viljelläänkin, saa siunauksen Jumalalta;
8 But [what will happen to believers who do deeds/things that do not please God will be like what happens to land] on which [only] thorns and thistles grow [MET]. [Such land] is worthless. It has almost become land that God will curse, and eventually he will burn [its vegetation] [MTY].
mutta se, joka tuottaa orjantappuroita ja ohdakkeita, on kelvoton ja lähellä kirousta, ja sen loppu on, että se poltetaan.
9 Although I am writing [to you] like this as a [warning], I am certain concerning you whom I love that [you are doing] better than that. Specifically, I am sure that [you are doing] the things that are appropriate [for those whom God] has saved.
Mutta teistä, rakkaat, uskomme sitä, mikä on parempaa ja mikä koituu teille pelastukseksi-vaikka puhummekin näin.
10 Since God always acts justly [LIT], he will not overlook all you have done [for him. He will also not overlook] [MTY] [your showing that you love] him by the way you helped your fellow believers and [by the way you still] help them. [Instead, God will reward you for doing good deeds].
Sillä Jumala ei ole väärämielinen, niin että hän unhottaisi teidän työnne ja rakkautenne, jota olette osoittaneet hänen nimeänsä kohtaan, kun olette palvelleet pyhiä ja vielä palvelette.
11 I very much want each of you to diligently continue to fully expect to receive [what God has provided for you], until you finally [receive everything that you have confidently expected to receive].
Mutta me halajamme sitä, että kukin teistä osoittaa samaa intoa, säilyttääkseen toivon varmuuden loppuun asti,
12 I do not want you to be lazy. [Instead, I want] you to imitate those who, because they patiently continued to trust in [God], are receiving what he promised them.
ettette kävisi veltoiksi, vaan että teistä tulisi niiden seuraajia, jotka uskon ja kärsivällisyyden kautta perivät sen, mikä luvattu on.
13 When God promised to [do things for] Abraham, he said that he would punish himself [if he did not do that], because there was no one of greater importance to ask to punish him [if he did not do it].
Sillä kun Jumala oli antanut lupauksen Aabrahamille, vannoi hän itse kauttansa, koska hänellä ei ollut ketään suurempaa, kenen kautta vannoa,
14 He said [to Abraham], “I will certainly bless you [(sg)], and I will certainly increase [the number of] your [descendants] [SYN].”
ja sanoi: "Totisesti, siunaamalla minä sinut siunaan, ja enentämällä minä sinut enennän";
15 As a result, after Abraham patiently waited [for God to do what he promised], he received what [God] promised him.
ja näin Aabraham, kärsivällisesti odotettuaan, sai, mitä luvattu oli.
16 [Keep in mind that when people promise something], they ask a more important person to punish them if they do not do what they promise. Furthermore, when people ask God to punish them [if they do not tell the truth], that causes people who are disputing to stop disputing.
Sillä ihmiset vannovat suurempansa kautta, ja vala on heille asian vahvistus ja tekee lopun kaikista vastaväitteistä.
17 So, when God wanted to demonstrate very clearly (to us/to those people) who would receive what he had promised that he would not change what he had purposed [to do], he solemnly guaranteed that he would declare himself guilty if he did not do what he promised.
Sentähden, kun Jumala lupauksen perillisille vielä tehokkaammin tahtoi osoittaa, että hänen päätöksensä on muuttumaton, vakuutti hän sen valalla,
18 He did that to strongly encourage us as a result of our [knowing] that [God has done] two things that cannot change. [Namely, he promised to bless us, and he solemnly declared that he would declare himself guilty if he did not bless us]. We [know] that God, who did those things, cannot lie. We have fled [to him] in order that we might continue confidently to expect to receive what he promised us.
että me näistä kahdesta muuttumattomasta asiasta, joissa Jumala ei ole voinut valhetella, saisimme voimallisen kehoituksen, me, jotka olemme paenneet pitämään kiinni edessämme olevasta toivosta.
19 [Our confidently expecting] [SYN] [to receive what he has promised is like] an anchor [MET] that very firmly [DOU] [holds us fast. The one we confidently expect to help us] [SYN] [is Jesus, who] goes into [God’s very presence, just like the Supreme Priests went] behind the curtain into the innermost [part of the tent in the barren area] [MET].
Se toivo meille on ikäänkuin sielun ankkuri, varma ja luja, joka ulottuu esiripun sisäpuolelle asti,
20 Jesus went [into God’s presence] ahead of us [(inc)] to [help] us when he became a Supreme Priest eternally in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest. (aiōn g165)
jonne Jeesus edelläjuoksijana meidän puolestamme on mennyt, tultuaan ylimmäiseksi papiksi Melkisedekin järjestyksen mukaan, iankaikkisesti. (aiōn g165)
