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.
Kung gayon, iwan na natin ang mga unang natutunan tungkol sa mensahe ni Cristo, kailangan nating magpatuloy sa pagiging ganap, at huwag na muling ilagay ang saligan ng pagsisisi mula sa mga patay na gawa at ng pananampalataya sa Diyos,
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)
ni ang saligan ng katuruan tungkol sa mga pagbabautismo, pagpapatong ng mga kamay, ang muling pagkabuhay ng mga patay, at sa hatol na walang hanggan. (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.
Gagawin din natin ito kung papahintulutan ng Diyos.
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].
Sapagkat imposible para sa kanila na minsan nang naliwanagan, na nakalasap na ng kaloob ng kalangitan, na naging kabahagi ng Banal na Espiritu,
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)
at sila na nakalasap na ng mabuting salita ng Diyos at ng mga kapangyarihan ng kapanahunang darating, (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.
at sila nga na nahulog na—ito ay imposible nang ibalik silang muli sa pagsisisi. Ito ay dahil sa ipinako nilang muli para sa kanilang mga sarili ang nag-iisang Anak ng Diyos, ginawa siyang dahilan ng lantarang kahihiyan.
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].
Sapagkat ang lupang tumanggap ng ulan na madalas bumuhos dito at nagbibigay ng pananim na kapaki-pakinabang para sa kanila na nagtrabaho ng lupa, ay tumanggap ng pagpapalang galing sa Diyos.
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].
Ngunit kung tubuan ito ng tinik at dawag, ito ay walang pakinabang at nanganganib na maisumpa. At ang kahahantungan nito ay pagkasunog.
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.
Kahit na kami ay nagsasalita na gaya nito, minamahal kong mga kaibigan, kami ay naniniwala sa mas mabuting mga bagay ukol sa inyo at sa mga bagay na tungkol sa kaligtasan.
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].
Sapagkat ang Diyos ay hindi liko upang limutin ang inyong gawa at ang pag-ibig na inyong ipinakita para sa kaniyang pangalan, sa ganoon naglingkod kayo sa mga mananampalataya at patuloy na naglingkod sa kanila.
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].
At labis naming ninanais na ang bawat isa sa inyo ay magpakita ng parehong kasipagan hanggang sa wakas na may buong katiyakan ng pagtitiwala.
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.
Ayaw namin na maging mabigat ang inyong katawan, sa halip maging katulad kayo ng mga magmamana ng mga pangako dahil sa pananampalataya at pagtitiis.
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].
Sapagkat nang ginawa ng Diyos ang kaniyang pangako kay Abraham, siya ay nanumpa sa kaniyang sarili, sapagkat hindi siya makapanumpa sa mas higit sa kaniya.
14 He said [to Abraham], “I will certainly bless you [(sg)], and I will certainly increase [the number of] your [descendants] [SYN].”
Sinabi niya, “Tunay na ikaw ay aking pagpapalain, at labis kong dadagdagan ang iyong mga kaapu-apuhan.''
15 As a result, after Abraham patiently waited [for God to do what he promised], he received what [God] promised him.
Sa ganitong paraan, natanggap ni Abraham kung ano ang ipinangako pagkatapos niyang maghintay ng may pagtitiis.
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.
Sapagkat ang mga tao ay nanunumpa sa mas mataas sa kanilang mga sarili, at sa bawat pagtatalo nila, ang sinumpaan ang siyang pangwakas bilang pagpapatunay.
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.
Nang nagpasya ang Diyos na ipakita ng mas malinaw sa mga tagapagmana ng pangako ang hindi nagbabagong katangian ng kaniyang layunin, tiniyak niya ito ng may panunumpa.
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.
Ginawa niya ito upang sa pamamagitan ng dalawang bagay na hindi nababago, na kung saan hindi maaaring magsinungaling ang Diyos, tayo na nagsitakas para magpakupkop ay magkaroon ng matatag na lakas ng loob upang matibay na panghawakan ang pagtitiwala na inilagay sa ating harapan.
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].
Mayroon tayo nitong pagtitiwala bilang matatag at maaasahan na angkla ng ating mga kaluluwa, ang pagtitiwala na pumapasok sa dakong loob sa likod ng tabing.
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)
Pumasok si Jesus sa dakong iyon bilang tagapanguna para sa atin, at naging pinaka-punongpari magpakailanman ayon sa pagkapari ni Melquisedec. (aiōn g165)
