Hebrews 12
1 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,
Nítorí náà bí a ti fi ìkùùkuu àwọsánmọ̀ tí o kún fún àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí tó báyìí yí wa ká, ẹ jẹ́ kí a pa ohun ìdíwọ́ gbogbo tì sí apá kan, àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí o rọrùn láti di mọ́ wa, kí a sì máa fi sùúrù súré ìje tí a gbé ka iwájú wa,
2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
kí a máa wo Jesu Olùpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àti aláṣepé ìgbàgbọ́ wa; ẹni nítorí ayọ̀ tí a gbé ka iwájú rẹ, tí o faradà àgbélébùú láìka ìtìjú sí, tí ó sì jókòó lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tún ìtẹ́ Ọlọ́run.
3 For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.
Máa ro ti ẹni tí ó faradà irú ìsọ̀rọ̀-òdì yìí láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ si ara rẹ̀, kí ẹ má ba á rẹ̀wẹ̀sì ni ọkàn yín, kí àárẹ̀ si mu yín.
4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
Ẹ̀yin kò sá à tí ì kọ ojú ìjà si ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ títí dé títa ẹ̀jẹ̀ yín sílẹ̀ nínú ìjàkadì yín.
5 You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
Ẹ̀yin sì ti gbàgbé ọ̀rọ̀ ìyànjú tí ó n ba yin sọ̀rọ̀ bí ọmọ pé, “Ọmọ mi, ma ṣe aláìnání ìbáwí Olúwa, kí o má sì ṣe rẹ̀wẹ̀sì nígbà tí a bá ń ti ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ba ọ wí,
6 for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
nítorí pé ẹni ti Olúwa fẹ́, òun ni i bá wí, a sì máa na olúkúlùkù ọmọ tí òun tẹ́wọ́gbà.”
7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?
Ẹ máa ní sùúrù lábẹ́ ìbáwí, Ọlọ́run bá wa lò bí ọmọ ni; nítorí pé ọmọ wo ni ń bẹ ti baba kì í bá wí?
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin ba wà láìsí ìbáwí, nínú èyí tí gbogbo ènìyàn ti jẹ alábápín, ǹjẹ́ ọmọ àlè ni yín, ẹ kì í sì ṣe ọmọ.
9 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú àwa ni baba wa nípa ti ara tí o ń tọ́ wa, àwa sì ń bu ọlá fún wọn: kò ha yẹ kí a kúkú tẹríba fún Baba àwọn ẹ̀mí, kí a sì yè?
10 For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
Nítorí wọ́n tọ́ wa fún ọjọ́ díẹ̀ bí o bá ti dára lójú wọn; ṣùgbọ́n Òun tọ́ wa fún èrè wa, kí àwa lè ṣe alábápín ìwà mímọ́ rẹ̀.
11 All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Gbogbo ìbáwí kò dàbí ohun ayọ̀ nísinsin yìí bí kò ṣe ìbànújẹ́; ṣùgbọ́n níkẹyìn yóò so èso àlàáfíà fún àwọn tí a tọ́ nípa rẹ̀, àní èso òdodo.
12 Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
Nítorí náà, ẹ na ọwọ́ tí ó rọ, àti eékún àìlera,
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
“Kí ẹ sì ṣe ipa ọ̀nà tí ó tọ́ fún ẹsẹ̀ yin,” kí èyí tí ó rọ má bá a kúrò lórí ike ṣùgbọ́n kí a kúkú wò ó sàn.
14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,
Ẹ máa lépa àlàáfíà pẹ̀lú ènìyàn gbogbo, àti ìwà mímọ́, láìsí èyí yìí kò sí ẹni tí yóò rí Olúwa.
15 looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,
Ẹ máa kíyèsára kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ṣe kùnà Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run; kí gbòǹgbò ìkorò kan máa ba hù sókè kí ó sì yọ yín lẹ́nu, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ a sì ti ipa rẹ̀ di àìmọ́.
16 lest there be any sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
Kí o má bá à si àgbèrè kan tàbí aláìwà-bí-Ọlọ́run bi Esau, ẹni tí o tìtorí òkèlè oúnjẹ kan ta ogún ìbí rẹ̀.
17 For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
Nítorí ẹ̀yin mọ pé lẹ́yìn náà, nígbà tí ó fẹ́ láti jogún ìbùkún náà, a kọ̀ ọ́, nítorí kò ri ààyè ìrònúpìwàdà, bí o tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ó fi omijé wa a gidigidi.
18 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,
Nítorí ẹ̀yin kò wá òkè tí a lè fi ọwọ́ kàn, àti ti iná ti ń jó, àti ti ìṣúdudu àti òkùnkùn, àti ìjì.
19 the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,
Àti ìró ìpè, àti ohùn ọ̀rọ̀, èyí tí àwọn tí o gbọ́ bẹ̀bẹ̀ pé, kí a má ṣe sọ ọ̀rọ̀ sí i fún wọn mọ́,
20 for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.
nítorí pé wọn kò lè gba ohun tí ó paláṣẹ, “Bí o tilẹ̀ jẹ ẹranko ni ó fi ara kan òkè náà, a ó sọ ọ́ ni òkúta.”
21 So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
Ìran náà sì lẹ́rù to bẹ́ẹ̀ tí Mose wí pé, “Ẹ̀rù ba mi gidigidi mo sì wárìrì.”
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin wá sí òkè Sioni, àti sí ìlú Ọlọ́run alààyè, ti Jerusalẹmu ti ọ̀run, àti si ẹgbẹ́ àwọn angẹli àìníye,
23 to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
si àjọ ńlá tí ìjọ àkọ́bí tí a ti kọ orúkọ wọn ni ọ̀run, àti sọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run onídàájọ́ gbogbo ènìyàn, àti sọ́dọ̀ àwọn ẹ̀mí olóòtítọ́ ènìyàn tí a ṣe ni àṣepé,
24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.
àti sọ́dọ̀ Jesu alárinà májẹ̀mú tuntun, àti si ibi ẹ̀jẹ̀ ìbùwọ́n ni, ti ń sọ̀rọ̀ ohun tí ó dára ju ti Abeli lọ.
25 See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
Kíyèsi i, kí ẹ má ṣe kọ̀ ẹni tí ń kìlọ̀. Nítorí bí àwọn wọ̀nyí kò bá bọ́ nígbà tí wọn kọ̀ ẹni ti ń kìlọ̀ ni ayé, mélòó mélòó ni àwa kì yóò bọ́, bí àwa ba pẹ̀yìndà sí ẹni tí ń kìlọ̀ láti ọ̀run wá,
26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.”
ohùn ẹni tí ó mi ayé nígbà náà, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí o ti ṣe ìlérí, wí pé, “Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i èmi ki yóò mi kìkì ayé nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀run pẹ̀lú.”
27 This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
Àti ọ̀rọ̀ yìí, “Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i,” ìtumọ̀ rẹ̀ ni, mímú àwọn ohun wọ̀nyí ti a ń mì kúrò, bí ohun tí a ti dá, kí àwọn ohun tí a kò lè mì lè wà síbẹ̀.
28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
Nítorí náà bí àwa tí ń gbà ilẹ̀ ọba ti a kò lè mì, ẹ jẹ́ kí a dá ọpẹ́ nípa èyí ti a fi lè máa sin Ọlọ́run ni ìtẹ́wọ́gbà pẹ̀lú ọ̀wọ̀ àti ìbẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
29 for our God is a consuming fire.
Nítorí pé, “Ọlọ́run wa, iná ti ń jó ni run ni.”
