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.
| پس، بیایید از تعالیم ابتدایی دربارۀ مسیح بگذریم و به سوی بلوغ در درک و فهم امور روحانی پیش برویم. بی‌تردید لازم نیست بار دیگر، به اهمیت بنیادین توبه از اعمالی که منتهی به مرگ می‌شوند، و به ایمان داشتن به خدا بپردازیم. |
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)
| دیگر نیازی نیست بیش از این، دربارهٔ غُسلها، دستگذاری‌ها، قیامت مردگان، و مجازات ابدی، شما را تعلیم دهیم. (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.
| و به خواست خدا، چنین خواهیم کرد تا به درک امور عمیقتر برسیم. |
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].
| زیرا آنانی که یک بار در اثر تابیدن نور الهی درخشان شدند، و طعم عطای آسمانی را چشیدند، و در روح‌القدس نصیبی یافتند، |
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)
| و نیکویی کلام خدا را چشیدند و قدرت‌های عالَم آینده را نیز تجربه کردند، (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.
| اگر بعد از تمام اینها از خدا روی برتابند، غیرممکن است بتوان ایشان را به توبه بازگرداند. اینان پسر خدا را بار دیگر برای خود مصلوب می‌کنند و در ملأ عام رسوایش می‌سازند. |
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].
| زمینی که پس از بارش بارانهای فراوان، محصولی نیکو برای کشاورزان به وجود می‌آورد، از خدا برکت خواهد یافت. |
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].
| اما اگر خار و خس تولید کند، نشان می‌دهد که زمینی است بی‌ارزش. کشاورز به‌زودی آن زمین را لعنت کرده با آتش خواهد سوزاند. |
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.
| اما ای عزیزان، هرچند با این لحن سخن می‌گوییم، اما گمان نمی‌کنیم گفته‌هایمان در مورد شما صدق کند؛ یقین داریم که چیزهای بهتر که با نجات همراه است، نصیبتان خواهد شد. |
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].
| زیرا خدا بی‌انصاف نیست. چگونه امکان دارد زحماتی را که در راه او متحمل شده‌اید فراموش کند، و یا محبتی را که نسبت به او داشته‌اید از یاد ببرد، محبتی که از طریق کمک به فرزندان خدا نشان داده و می‌دهید؟ |
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].
| پس آرزوی ما این است که همین روحیه و محبت را با نهایت اشتیاق در تمام طول زندگی حفظ کنید، تا مطمئن شوید آنچه را که بدان امید بسته‌اید به انجام خواهد رسید. |
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.
| و در زندگی روحانی دچار سستی و تنبلی نگردید، بلکه با شور و شوق فراوان، از مردان خدا سرمشق بگیرید، مردانی که با صبر زیاد و ایمان قوی، به تمام وعده‌های خدا دست یافتند. |
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].
| برای نمونه، وعدهٔ خدا به ابراهیم را در نظر بگیرید. هنگامی که خدا این وعده را به ابراهیم می‌داد، به نام خود قسم خورد، زیرا کسی بزرگتر از او نبود تا به نام او قسم بخورد. وعدهٔ خدا به ابراهیم این بود که |
14 He said [to Abraham], “I will certainly bless you [(sg)], and I will certainly increase [the number of] your [descendants] [SYN].”
| «به‌یقین تو را برکت خواهم داد و تو را کثیر خواهم ساخت.» |
15 As a result, after Abraham patiently waited [for God to do what he promised], he received what [God] promised him.
| ابراهیم نیز با شکیبایی منتظر ماند تا سرانجام خدا مطابق وعدهٔ خود پسری به او داد، که همان اسحاق باشد. |
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.
| وقتی شخصی برای کسی قسم می‌خورد، معمولاً به نام کسی سوگند یاد می‌کند که از او بزرگتر است. این سوگند، تضمین کنندهٔ گفته اوست و به هر نوع بحث و کشمکش میان آن دو خاتمه می‌دهد. |
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.
| خدا نیز قسم خورد تا از این راه، به آنانی که از او وعدهٔ کمک دریافت کرده بودند، اطمینان بخشد و ایشان را خاطرجمع سازد که هرگز در وعده و اراده‌اش تغییری نخواهد داد. |
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.
| به این ترتیب، خدا به ما، هم وعدهٔ کمک داده است و هم در مورد آن قسم خورده است، پس ما می‌توانیم در خصوص این دو عامل، یعنی وعده و قسم، یقین داشته باشیم، زیرا محال است که خدا دروغ بگوید. اکنون، تمام کسانی که برای رستگاری به خدا پناه می‌آورند، با دریافت چنین اطمینانی، جرأتی تازه می‌یابند، و می‌توانند اطمینان کامل داشته باشند که خدا مطابق وعده‌اش، نجاتشان خواهد داد. |
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].
| امید کاملی که ما به نجات خود داریم، برای جان ما همچون لنگری است نیرومند که به هنگام توفانها ما را ثابت و استوار نگاه می‌دارد. همین امید است که ما را به داخل قدس درونی می‌برد. |
