Hebrews 12
1 Seeing, therefore, that there is on every side of us such a throng of witnesses, let us also lay aside everything that hinders us, and the sin that clings about us, and run with patient endurance the race that lies before us,
Aa kanao oniñe t’ie iarisehoa’ ty fandrahoñam-balolombeloñe ra’elahy, antao hampipoke ze ilogologoañe naho o hakeo mamehefehe antikañeo, le antao hilay am-pisalalañe i tsikiaviavy nalahatse aolon-tikañey,
2 our eyes fixed upon Jesus, the Leader and perfect Example of our faith, who, for the joy that lay before him, endured the cross, heedless of its shame, and now ‘has taken his seat at the right hand’ of the throne of God.
Aa naho mifatse am’Iesoà o fihainon-tikañeo, ie mpañoreñe naho mpampañeneke i fatokisan-tikañey, ty amy hafaleañe ho azo’e, nifeake i hatae ajaleiy, nanirika i hasalarañey vaho miambesatse am-pitàn-kavanam-piambesan’ Añahare eo.
3 Weigh well the example of him who had to endure such opposition from ‘men who were sinning against themselves,’ so that you should not grow weary or faint-hearted.
Tsakoreo i nahafeake ty fanjehara’ o lo-tserekeoy, tsy mone ho mamak’ an-troke nahareo vaho hamoe’ay.
4 You have not yet, in your struggle with sin, resisted to the death;
Mboe tsy nidrikiñe pak’ am-piorihan-dio nahareo nigarabiñe amo tahiñeo,
5 and you have forgotten the encouraging words which are addressed to you as God’s Children — ‘My child, think not lightly of the Lord’s discipline, Do not despond when he rebukes you;
mbore nihaliño’ areo i vere tinaroñe ama’ areo hoe aman’ amory: O anake, ko sirikae’o ty fandilova’ i Iehovà ndra mamoe’ay te endaha’e,
6 For it is him whom he loves that he disciplines, And he chastises every child whom he acknowledges.’
fa lilove’ Iehovà o kokoa’eo, vaho lafae’e ze anake no’e.
7 It is for your discipline that you have to endure all this. God is dealing with you as his Children. For where is there a child whom his father does not discipline?
Aa le mifeaha’e lafa; amy te ibeizan’ Añahare ho anake, fa ia ty anake tsy lafaen-drae’e?
8 If you are left without that discipline, in which all children share, it shows that you are bastards, and not true Children.
Aa naho tsy liloveñe nahareo, ie hene itraofañe, le anak’ amontoñe fa tsy anake.
9 Further, when our earthly fathers disciplined us, we respected them. Shall we not, then, much rather yield submission to the Father of souls, and live?
Toe nanan-droae’e am-batañe tika, ie nandafa naho niambanean-tika; tsy kitra’e hiandaly aman-dRaen’ arofo tika soa te ho veloñe!
10 Our fathers disciplined us for only a short time and as seemed best to them; but God disciplines us for our true good, to enable us to share his holiness.
Toe nilafae’ iereo betebetek’ avao tika ami’ty natao’ iareo hahasoa, antsake te an-kasoa i azey hitraofan-tika an-kamasiña’e.
11 No discipline is pleasant at the time; on the contrary, it is painful. But afterwards its fruit is seen in the peacefulness of a righteous life which is the lot of those who have been trained under it.
Toe tsy mahafale heike ze fandilovañe, fa manaintaiñe; F’ie añe, mamoa havantañañe naho fanintsiñañe o niok’ ama’eo.
12 Therefore ‘lift again the down-dropped hands and straighten the weakened knees;
Aa le onjono o fitàñe migebañeo, naho o ongotse malejolejoo,
13 make straight paths for your feet,’ so that the lame limb may not be put out of joint, but rather be cured.
le avantaño ty fañaveloam-pandia’ areo tsy hakatsoke i hakepehañey, fa ho jangañeñe.
14 Try earnestly to live at peace with every one, and to attain to that purity without which no one will see the Lord.
Mimanea fifampilongoañe amy ze hene ondaty, naho fiavahañe, fa tsy ia ty hahaoniñe i Talè t’ie tsy ama’e.
15 Take care that no one fails to use the loving help of God, ‘that no bitterness is allowed to take root and spring up, and cause trouble,’ and so poison the whole community.
Mijilova, tsy mone hilesa ami’ty hasoan’ Añahare, hera hitiriam-baha-mafaitse hañembetse, hanìva ty maro.
16 Take care that no one becomes immoral, or irreligious like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.
He ao ty mañarapilo, ke ty votro manahak’ i Esave nandetake i hatañoloñoloña’ey hikama hanen-kedekedeke.
17 For you know that even afterwards, when he wished to claim his father’s blessing, he was rejected — for he never found an opportunity to repair his error — though he begged for the blessing with tears.
Toe fohi’ areo t’ie añe, nipay handova i tatay fe niarinjeñe, tsy tendrek’ aze ty hisoloho ndra te nimanea’e an-drano-maso.
18 It is not to tangible ‘flaming fire’ that you have drawn near, nor to ‘gloom, and darkness, and storm,
Tsy nivotrak’ amy vohitse tsy hay tsapaeñey nahareo, i misotratrake afoy, ndra amy fimoromoroñañe naho figoboñañey naho amy talio-beiy;
19 and the blast of a trumpet, and an audible voice.’ Those who heard that voice entreated that they might hear no more,
naho amy fipopòn’ antsivay, vaho amy feon-tsaray, i nitoreova’ o nijanjiñeo te tsy hisaontsiañe i tsaray ka,
20 for they could not bear to think of the command — ‘If even an animal touches the mountain, it is to be stoned to death;’
amy te tsy nileo’ iareo i nandiliañe ty hoey: ndra te biby ty mitsapa i vohitsey le haretsam-bato.
21 and so fearful was the sight that Moses said — ‘I tremble with fear.’
Aa akore ty harevendreveñañe nizoeñe eo, kanao nanao ty hoe t’i Mosè: Mititititik’ an-kanìfan-draho.
22 No, but it is to Mount Zion that you have drawn near, the City of the Living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to countless hosts of angels,
Fe nimb’am-bohi-Ziona mb’ etoa nahareo, mb’ an-drovan’ Añahare veloñe, Ierosaleman-dikerañey, naho mb’ an-dahialen’ anjely,
23 to the festal gathering and assemblage of God’s Eldest Sons whose names are enrolled in Heaven, to God the Judge of all men, to the spirits of the righteous who have attained perfection,
mb’ amy fivorin-tañoloñoloñañe misokitse añarañe andindìñe ao naho mb’ aman’ Añahare mpizaka ie iabiy, naho mb’ amo arofo’ o vantañe nifonirañeo,
24 to Jesus, the intermediary of a new Covenant, and to the Sprinkled Blood that tells of better things than the blood of Abel.
naho mb’ amy Iesoà, mpañalañalam-pañina vao, vaho mb’ amy lio nafitse mivolan-draha soa te amy Abelaiy.
25 Beware how you refuse to hear him who is speaking. For, if the Israelites did not escape punishment, when they refused to listen to him who taught them on earth the divine will, far worse will it be for us, if we turn away from him who is teaching us from Heaven.
Asoao tsy ho làne’ areo i misaontsiy. Fa naho tsy nahabolititse o nikiho i nañatahata iareo an-tane atoiy, sandrake o mitsambolitioke i mampitao boak’ andindìñe aoio.
26 Then his voice shook the earth, but now his declaration is — ‘Still once more I will cause not only the earth to tremble, but also the heavens.’
Toe nampiozoñozòñe ty tane toy i fiarañanaña’ey, fa hoe ty nampitamae’e henaneo, Ho tovoñako indraike: te tsy ty tane toy avao ty hampiezeñezeñeko, fa o likerañeo ka.
27 And those words ‘still once more’ indicate the passing away of all that is shaken — that is, of all created things — in order that only what is unshaken may remain.
I hoe: Ho tovoñañe indraike, mampalange te haveve o mete ezeñezeñeñeo, o raha namboareñeo, soa te hidoñe eo o tsy mete ezeñezeñeñeo.
28 Therefore, let us, who have received a kingdom that cannot be shaken, be thankful, and so offer acceptable worship to God, with awe and reverence.
Aa kanao mandrambe fifeheañe tsy mete hasitse tika, le manintsiña, hitoroñe an’ Andrianañahare ami’ty fañevà’e am-piambaneañe naho fañevèñañe,
29 For our God is ‘a consuming fire.’
amy te Afo mamorototo t’i Andrianañaharen-tika.
