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,
Quapropter intermittentes inchoationis Christi sermonem, ad perfectiora feramur, non rursum iacientes fundamentum pœnitentiæ ab operibus mortuis, et fidei ad Deum,
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 g166)
baptismatum doctrinæ, impositionis quoque manuum, ac resurrectionis mortuorum, et iudicii æterni. (aiōnios g166)
3 And this thing we schulen do, if God schal suffre.
Et hoc faciemus, si quidem permiserit Deus.
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,
Impossibile est enim eos, qui semel sunt illuminati, gustaverunt etiam donum cæleste, et participes facti sunt Spiritus sancti,
5 and netheles han tastid the good word of God, and the vertues of the world to comynge, (aiōn g165)
gustaverunt nihilominus bonum Dei verbum, virtutesque sæculi venturi, (aiōn g165)
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.
et prolapsi sunt; rursus renovari ad pœnitentiam, rursum crucifigentes sibimetipsis filium Dei, et ostentui habentes.
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.
Terra enim sæpe venientem super se bibens imbrem, et generans herbam opportunam illis, a quibus colitur: accipit benedictionem a Deo.
8 But that that is bringinge forth thornes and breris, is repreuable, and next to curs, whos endyng schal be in to brennyng.
proferens autem spinas, ac tribulos, reproba est, et maledicto proxima: cuius consummatio in combustionem.
9 But, ye moost dereworthe, we tristen of you betere thingis, and neer to helthe, thouy we speken so.
Confidimus autem de vobis dilectissimi meliora, et viciniora saluti: tametsi ita loquimur.
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.
Non enim iniustus Deus, ut obliviscatur operis vestri, et dilectionis, quam ostendistis in nomine ipsius, qui ministrastis sanctis, et ministratis.
11 And we coueiten that ech of you schewe the same bisynesse to the fillyng of hope in to the ende;
Cupimus autem unumquemque vestrum eandem ostentare solicitudinem ad expletionem spei usque in finem:
12 that ye be not maad slowe, but also sueris of hem, whiche bi feith and pacience schulen enherite the biheestis.
ut non segnes efficiamini, verum imitatores eorum, qui fide, et patientia hereditabunt promissiones.
13 For God bihetinge to Abraham, for he hadde noon grettere, bi whom he schulde swere, swoor bi hym silf,
Abrahæ namque promittens Deus, quoniam neminem habuit, per quem iuraret, maiorem, iuravit per semetipsum,
14 and seide, Y blessinge schal blesse thee, and Y multipliynge schal multiplie thee;
dicens: Nisi benedicens benedicam te, et multiplicans multiplicabo te.
15 and so he long abidinge hadde the biheeste.
Et sic longanimiter ferens, adeptus est repromissionem.
16 For men sweren bi a grettere than hem silf, and the ende of al her ple is an ooth to confirmacioun.
Homines enim per maiorem sui iurant: et omnis controversiæ eorum finis, ad confirmationem, est iuramentum.
17 In which thing God willynge to schewe plenteuouslier to the eiris of his biheest the sadnesse of his counsel,
In quo abundantius volens Deus ostendere pollicitationis heredibus immobilitatem consilii sui, interposuit iusiurandum:
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.
ut per duas res immobiles, quibus impossibile est mentiri Deum, fortissimum solatium habeamus, qui confugimus ad tenendam propositam spem,
19 Which hope as an ankir we han sikir to the soule, and sad, and goynge in to the ynnere thingis of hiding;
quam sicut anchoram habemus animæ tutam ac firmam, et incedentem usque ad interiora velaminis,
