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.
Jadi jangan terpaku pada ajaran-ajaran dasar tentang Kristus, tetapi mari maju ke pemahaman yang lebih dewasa. Kita tidak perlu membahas kembali ide-ide untuk bertobat dari apa yang dulu kita lakukan, tentang percaya kepada Allah —
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)
atau ajaran tentang baptisan, penumpangan tangan, kebangkitan orang mati, dan penghakiman kekal. (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.
Jadi mari kita lanjutkan, karena Allah memberi kita kesempatan untuk melakukannya!
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].
Tidak mungkin bagi mereka yang pernah memahami dan mengalami anugerah surgawi Allah yang ikut menerima Roh Kudus,
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)
yang sudah mengetahui firman Allah yang baik dan kuasa zaman yang akan datang — (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.
dan kemudian sepenuhnya meninggalkan Allah, agar mereka dibawa kembali untuk bertobat sekali lagi. Mereka sendiri sudah menyalibkan Anak Allah sekali lagi dan mempermalukan Dia di depan umum.
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].
Tanah yang sudah disirami hujan, dan menghasilkan panen bagi yang bercocok tanam, mendapatkan berkah Allah.
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].
Tetapi tanah yang hanya menghasilkan ilalang dan duri tidak ada nilainya, dan akan segera dikutuk, pada akhirnya yang bisa dilakukan hanyalah membakarnya.
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.
Tapi teman-teman terkasih, kami percaya kepada kalian dan keselamatan yang sudah kalian miliki, sekalipun kami berbicara seperti ini!
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].
Allah tidak akan begitu tidak adil untuk melupakan apa yang sudah kalian lakukan dan kasih yang sudah kalian tunjukkan kepada-Nya dengan perhatian yang kalian tunjukkan kepada rekan seiman — sesuatu yang kalian masih lakukan.
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].
Kami ingin kalian masing-masing menunjukkan komitmen yang sama, percaya diri dalam pengharapan Allah sampai itu terpenuhi.
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.
Jangan malas secara rohani, tetapi ikuti teladan dari mereka yang dengan percaya kepada Allah dan dengan sabar mewarisi apa yang Allah sudah janjikan.
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].
Ketika Allah memberikan janji-Nya kepada Abraham, Dia tidak bisa bersumpah demi orang yang lebih besar sehingga Dia bersumpah demi diri-Nya sendiri,
14 He said [to Abraham], “I will certainly bless you [(sg)], and I will certainly increase [the number of] your [descendants] [SYN].”
dengan mengatakan, “Aku pasti akan memberkati kamu, dan melipatgandakan keturunanmu.”
15 As a result, after Abraham patiently waited [for God to do what he promised], he received what [God] promised him.
Maka, sesudah dengan sabar menunggu, Abraham diberi janji itu.
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.
Orang-orang bersumpah pada hal-hal yang lebih besar dari mereka, dan ketika mereka memiliki beberapa perselisihan, sumpah diambil sebagai keputusan akhir tentang masalah tersebut.
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.
Itulah sebabnya Allah ingin menunjukkan lebih jelas kepada mereka yang akan mewarisi janji bahwa Dia tidak akan pernah berubah pikiran.
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.
Jadi dengan dua tindakan ini, yang tidak dapat diubah, dan karena tidak mungkin bagi Allah untuk berdusta sehingga kita dapat memiliki keyakinan total, dengan lari menyelamatkan diri untuk memegang harapan yang Allah berikan kepada kita.
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].
Harapan ini adalah sauh rohani kita yang pasti dan dapat diandalkan, dan itu membawa kita melewati tabir menuju hadirat Allah.
