Hebrews 6
1 Wherefore, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, unto the perfection we may advance, not again a foundation laying of reformation from dead works, and of faith on God,
Na, kati tatou te korero i nga timatanga o ta te Karaiti ako, hoake tatou ki te tino tikanga; kaua e tuaruatia te whakatakoto i te turanga, ara i te ripeneta ki nga mahi mate, i te whakapono hoki ki te Atua,
2 of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on also of hands, of rising again also of the dead, and of judgment age-during, (aiōnios g166)
I te whakaako ki nga iriiri, ki te whakapanga o nga ringaringa, ki te aranga o nga tangata mate, ki te whakawakanga mutungakore. (aiōnios g166)
3 and this we will do, if God may permit,
A ka meatia ano tenei e tatou ki te tukua e te Atua.
4 for [it is] impossible for those once enlightened, having tasted also of the heavenly gift, and partakers having became of the Holy Spirit,
Ko te hunga hoki kua oti te whakamarama, kua pa ki te mea i homai i runga i te rangi, kua whiwhi ki te Wairua Tapu,
Kua kitea ano te pai o ta te Atua kupu, me nga mea kaha o te ao meake nei puta; (aiōn g165)
6 and having fallen away, again to renew [them] to reformation, having crucified again to themselves the Son of God, and exposed to public shame.
Ki te taka atu ratou, e kore ratou e taea te whakahou ake ki te ripeneta; ka ripekatia houtia hoki te Tama a te Atua e ratou nei ano, ka meinga hoki kia tawaia nuitia.
7 For earth, that is drinking in the rain many times coming upon it, and is bringing forth herbs fit for those because of whom also it is dressed, doth partake of blessing from God,
Ko te whenua hoki e inu nei i te ua honohono te heke ki runga ki a ia, a e mea ana i te otaota pai kia tupu ake ma te hunga i mahia ai, ka whiwhi ki ta te Atua manaaki:
8 and that which is bearing thorns and briers [is] disapproved of, and nigh to cursing, whose end [is] for burning;
Ki te tupuria ia e te tataramoa, e te tumatakuru, ka whakakinoa, ka tata ki te kanga: ko tona whakamutunga ka tahuna.
9 and we are persuaded, concerning you, beloved, the things that are better, and accompanying salvation, though even thus we speak,
Otiia ahakoa penei noa ta matou korero, e u ana ano to matou whakaaro, e oku hoa aroha, ki nga mea pai ke atu kei a koutou, he mea hoki mo te whakaoranga.
10 for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labour of the love, that ye shewed to His name, having ministered to the saints and ministering;
E kore hoki te Atua e he, e wareware ki ta koutou mahi, ki te uaua o to koutou aroha, i whakakitea mai e koutou ki tona ingoa, i a koutou i atawhai i te hunga tapu, a ka atawhai nei ano.
11 and we desire each one of you the same diligence to shew, unto the full assurance of the hope unto the end,
Otiia e hiahia ana matou kia whakakitea taua uaua na ano e tenei, e tenei o koutou, kia taea rawatia te pumautanga o te whakaaro i tumanako ai koutou a te Mutunga ra ano:
12 that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.
Kia kaua e puhoi, engari kia rite ki ta te hunga i whakapono, i whakamanawanui, a riro mai ana i a ratou nga mei i whakaaria mai.
13 For to Abraham God, having made promise, seeing He was able to swear by no greater, did swear by Himself,
I ta te Atua whakaaringa mea ki a Aperahama, i te mea kahore tetahi i nui ake hei oatitanga, ka oatitia e ia a ia ake ano,
14 saying, 'Blessing indeed I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee;'
Ka mea, Ina, ka manaakitia rawatia koe e ahau, ka whakanuia rawatia ano hoki koe.
15 and so, having patiently endured, he did obtain the promise;
Heoi whakamanawanui ana ia, a riro ana i a ia te kupu whakaari.
16 for men indeed do swear by the greater, and an end of all controversy to them for confirmation [is] the oath,
Ko te mea nui ake hoki ta nga tangata e waiho ai hei oati: a ki a ratou hei mutunga mo nga whakahokihoki kupu katoa te oati whakau.
17 in which God, more abundantly willing to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, did interpose by an oath,
No reira, i te mahara o te Atua kia tino whakakitea ki te hunga mo ratou nei te kupu whakaari te pumau o tona whakaaro, ka whakaurua mai e ia he oati,
18 that through two immutable things, in which [it is] impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before [us],
Kia rua ai nga mea pumau, he mea e kore ai e ahei kia teka te Atua, ma reira ka kaha ai he whakamarie mo tatou, mo te hunga kua rere ki te pupuri i te mea e takoto mai nei i te aroaro, e tumanakohia atu nei:
19 which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and entering into that within the vail,
Hei punga ano tenei ma tatou mo te wairua, he tumanako mau tonu, u tonu, tae tonu atu ano hoki ki te mea i roto i te arai;
20 whither a forerunner for us did enter — Jesus, after the order of Melchisedek chief priest having become — to the age. (aiōn g165)
Ki te wahi kua tapoko atu nei a ihu ki reira, hei matamua mo tatou, i a ia i meinga hei tohunga nui mo a mua tonu atu, i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke. (aiōn g165)
