< Hebrews 6 >
1 Therfor we bringinge in a word of the bigynnyng of Crist, be we borun to the perfeccioun of hym, not eftsoone leggynge the foundement of penaunce fro deed werkis, and of the feith to God,
Wherefore let us leave the beginning of the word of the Meshiha, and let us come unto perfection. Or why again another foundation lay you for repentance from dead works, and for faith which is in Aloha,
2 and of teching of baptimys, and of leiynge on of hondis, and of risyng ayen of deed men, and of the euerlastinge doom. (aiōnios )
and for the doctrine of ablution and of imposition of the hand, and for the resurrection from the place of the dead, and for the judgment which is eternal? (aiōnios )
3 And this thing we schulen do, if God schal suffre.
If the Lord permit, we will do this.
4 But it is impossible, that thei that ben onys liytned, and `han tastid also an heuenly yifte, and ben maad parceneris of the Hooli Goost,
But they who once unto baptism have descended, and have tasted the gift which is from heaven, and have received the Spirit of Holiness,
5 and netheles han tastid the good word of God, and the vertues of the world to comynge, (aiōn )
and have tasted the good word of Aloha, and the power of the world to come, (aiōn )
6 and ben slidun fer awei, that thei be renewid eftsoone to penaunce. Whiche eftsones crucifien to hem silf the sone of God, and han to scorn.
(and) who again shall sin, cannot again be renewed unto conversion, who would afresh crucify and put to shame the Son of God.
7 For the erthe that drinkith reyn ofte comynge on it, and bringith forth couenable erbe to hem of whiche it is tilid, takith blessing of God.
For the earth that hath drunk the rain which hath come upon it many times, and shall have brought forth the herb that is useful for them on whose account it is cultured, receiveth blessing from Aloha;
8 But that that is bringinge forth thornes and breris, is repreuable, and next to curs, whos endyng schal be in to brennyng.
but that which shall produce thorns and briers hath reprobation; nor is it far from the curse, but its end is burning.
9 But, ye moost dereworthe, we tristen of you betere thingis, and neer to helthe, thouy we speken so.
But we are persuaded concerning you, my brethren, those things which are good, and that draw nigh unto salvation, though thus we speak.
10 For God is not vniust, that he foryete youre werk and loue, whiche ye han schewid in his name; for ye han mynystrid to seyntis, `and mynistren.
For not unrighteous is Aloha, that he should forget your works and your charity which ye have manifested in his name, who have ministered unto the saints, and do minister.
11 And we coueiten that ech of you schewe the same bisynesse to the fillyng of hope in to the ende;
But we desire that every one of you manifest the same diligence for the full completion of your hope until the end;
12 that ye be not maad slowe, but also sueris of hem, whiche bi feith and pacience schulen enherite the biheestis.
and that it be not cut off from you, but that ye be imitators of them who by fidelity and patience have become heirs of the promise.
13 For God bihetinge to Abraham, for he hadde noon grettere, bi whom he schulde swere, swoor bi hym silf,
For when to Abraham Aloha gave promise, because there was no one greater than himself to swear by, he sware by his own Self,
14 and seide, Y blessinge schal blesse thee, and Y multipliynge schal multiplie thee;
and said, Blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 and so he long abidinge hadde the biheeste.
And so he waited patiently, and obtained the promise.
16 For men sweren bi a grettere than hem silf, and the ende of al her ple is an ooth to confirmacioun.
For men swear by one greater than themselves: and every controversy which occurs among them hath a sure conclusion in the oath.
17 In which thing God willynge to schewe plenteuouslier to the eiris of his biheest the sadnesse of his counsel,
On this account Aloha, willing abundantly to manifest to the heirs of the promise that his engagement is changeless, hath bound it in an oath:
18 puttide bitwixe an ooth, that bi twey thingis vnmeuable, bi whiche it is impossible that God lie, we han a strengeste solace, `we that fleen togidere to holde the hope that is put forth to vs.
that by two things that are not changed, in which it cannot be that Aloha should lie, great consolation should be ours who have fled unto him: and that we may retain the hope that is promised to us,
19 Which hope as an ankir we han sikir to the soule, and sad, and goynge in to the ynnere thingis of hiding;
which we have as an anchor that holdeth our soul, that it may not be moved, and entereth within the veil,
20 where the bifore goere, Jhesus, that is maad bischop with outen ende bi the ordre of Melchisedech, entride for vs. (aiōn )
where Jeshu hath first entered for us, and become the Priest for ever in the likeness of MALKI-ZEDEK. (aiōn )
