Hebrews 12
1 Therefore seeing we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Eya ta esi ɖaseɖilawo ƒe ha gã aɖe ƒo xlã mí ta la, mina míaɖe mɔxenu ɖe sia ɖe kple nu vɔ̃ si bla mí sesĩe la ɖa, eye mina míake duɖime si woɖo ɖi na mí la kple vevidodo.
2 Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Mina míakpɔ Yesu dzi, ame si nye míaƒe xɔse ƒe gɔmeɖola kple nuwula, ame si le dzidzɔ si le ŋgɔ nɛ ta la, to atitsoga ƒe fu la me, eye mebui ŋukpee o. Ale wòyi ɖanɔ Mawu ƒe fiazikpui la ƒe nuɖusime.
3 For consider him that endured such hostility by sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Mibu fukpekpe gã si me wòto le nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo si me ŋu, ale be miagagbɔdzɔ, eye dzi naɖe le mia ƒo o.
4 Ye have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
Le miaƒe ʋiʋli le nu vɔ̃ si me la, mieʋli va se ɖe esime miaƒe ʋu kɔ ɖi haɖe o.
5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh to you as to children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked by him:
Ke mieŋlɔ dzideƒonya si yɔ mi be viŋutsuwo la be. Nya lae nye be, “Vinye ŋutsu, mègado vlo Aƒetɔ la ƒe amehehe, eye dzi megaɖe le ƒowò, ne eka mo na wò o,
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
elabena Aƒetɔ la ɖɔa ame siwo wòlɔ̃ la ɖo, eye wòhea to na ame sia ame si wòxɔ abe Via ŋutsu ene.”
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Mito fukpekpe me abe miaƒe hehe ƒe akpa aɖe ene, elabena Mawu le mia hem abe via ŋutsuwo ene, elabena viŋutsu kae li ame si fofoa mehea to na o?
8 But if ye are without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Ame sia ame toa hehe te, eya ta ne miawo mieto hehe te o la, ekema mienye viŋutsuvi vavãwo o, ke boŋ mienye ahasiviwo.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
Gawu la, anyigbadzifofowo le mía si, ame siwo naa hehe mí, eye míetsɔ bubu na wo ɖe eta. Ke hã la, ele be míabɔbɔ mía ɖokui ɖe mía Fofo gbɔgbɔmetɔ te ɣe sia ɣi be míanɔ agbe!
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Míaƒe anyigbadzifofowo hea to na mí hena ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe abe ale si wònyo na woe ene, gake Mawu ya hea to na mí hena míaƒe nyonyo be míakpɔ gome le eƒe kɔkɔenyenye me.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them who are exercised by it.
Tohehe aɖeke meli si vivia ame nu o, ke boŋ evena, ke hã la, emegbe la, etsea dzɔdzɔenyenye kple ŋutifafa ƒe kuwo na ame siwo to tohehe la te.
12 Therefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
Eya ta mido ŋusẽ miaƒe abɔ siwo gbɔdzɔ kple miaƒe klo beliwo.
13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
Mita mɔ dzɔdzɔewo na miaƒe afɔwo, ale be atatututɔ matsi mɔ ta o, ke boŋ wòakpɔ dɔyɔyɔ.
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Midze agbagba ɖe sia ɖe be mianɔ anyi kple amewo katã le ŋutifafa me, eye mianɔ kɔkɔe, elabena kɔkɔenyenye manɔmee la, ame aɖeke mate ŋu akpɔ Aƒetɔ la o.
15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and by it many be defiled;
Mikpɔ egbɔ be Mawu ƒe amenuveve metsi ame aɖeke nu o, eye mikpɔ nyuie be gbe vɔ̃ aɖeke meto ke ɖe mia dome esi ava zu aɖi vɔ̃ɖi anɔ fu ɖem na ame geɖewo ahaƒo ɖi wo o.
16 Lest there be any immoral, or profane person, as Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright.
Mikpɔ nyuie be ame aɖeke mezu ahiãwɔla alo anye mawumavɔ̃la abe Esau, ame si tsɔ eƒe ŋgɔgbevinyenye kple eŋudomenyinuwo dzra ɖe nuɖuɖu zi ɖeka ko ta la ene o.
17 For ye know that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
Abe ale si mienya nyuie ene la, esi wòva be yeanyi yayra sia ƒe dome emegbe la, wogbe enana. Mɔ aɖeke meli si dzi wòato be woatrɔ nu sia o, togbɔ be edi yayra sia kple aɖatsi hã.
18 For ye are not come to the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor to blackness, and to darkness, and tempest,
Menye to si ŋuti womate ŋu aka asii, to si le bibim kple dzo la gbɔe mieva o; mieva viviti, afudodo kple ahom gbɔ.
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard entreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
Menye kpẽ ƒe ɖiɖi, gbe si le nu ƒom, ale be ame siwo see la ɖe kuku nɛ be megaƒo nu na yewo azɔ o la gbɔe mieva o;
20 ( For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with an arrow:
elabena womate ŋu awɔ ɖe gbe si woɖe na wo be, “Ne lã aɖe gɔ̃ hã ka asi to la ŋu la, ele be woaƒu kpee wòaku” la dzi o.
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and tremble: )
Nukpɔkpɔ la dzi ŋɔ ale gbegbe be Mose gblɔ be, “Mele dzodzom nyanyanya kple vɔvɔ̃.”
22 But ye are come to mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Ke mieva Zion to la gbɔ, dziƒo Yerusalem, si nye Mawu gbagbe la ƒe du la gbɔe mieva. Mieva mawudɔla akpeakpe siwo ƒo ƒu le dzidzɔ kpɔm la ƒe asaɖa me.
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, who are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Mieva ŋgɔgbevi la ƒe hame, ame si ƒe ŋkɔ woŋlɔ ɖe dziƒo. Mieva Mawu, ame si nye amegbetɔwo katã ƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃la la gbɔ. Mieva ame dzɔdzɔe siwo wowɔ blibo la ƒe gbɔgbɔwo gbɔ,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
mieva Yesu, nubabla yeye la ƒe avuléla la gbɔ kple ʋuhehlẽ ɖi si ƒo nu nyuie wu Abel ƒe ʋu la gbɔ.
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Mikpɔ nyuie be miagagbe toɖoɖo ame si le nu ƒom la o. Nenye be womete ŋu si, esi wogbe toɖoɖo eya ame si xlɔ̃ nu wo le anyigba dzi la nu o la, aleke míawo ya míate ŋu asii ne míegbe toɖoɖo ame si le nu xlɔ̃m mí tso dziƒo?
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, eƒe gbe ʋuʋu anyigba, gake azɔ la, edo ŋugbe be, “Magaʋuʋu, menye anyigba ɖeɖe ko o, ke boŋ dziƒowo hã.”
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Nyakui “ga” ɖee fia be woaɖe nu si woate ŋu aʋuʋu la ɖa, nu siwo nye nuwɔwɔwo, ale be nu siwo womate ŋu aʋuʋu o la ɖeɖe ko natsi anyi.
28 Therefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
Eya ta esi míele mɔ kpɔm na fiaɖuƒe si womate ŋu aʋuʋu o la xɔxɔ la, mina míada akpe ɖe eta, eye míasubɔ Mawu le mɔ si adze la dzi le vɔvɔ̃ kple dzodzo nyanyanya me,
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
elabena dzo si fiaa nu lae nye míaƒe Mawu la.
