Hebritɔwo 10
1 Se la nye nu nyui siwo gbɔna la ƒe vɔvɔli ko, eye menye nua ŋutɔwo o. Le susu sia ta la, vɔsa siwo wowɔna agbadree ƒe sia ƒe la mate ŋu awɔ ame siwo va subɔnɛ la blibo gbeɖe o.
For the Law having a shadow of the good things coming—not the very image of the matters, every year, by the same sacrifices that they offer continually, is never able to make perfect those coming near,
2 Ne ɖe vɔsa mawo te ŋu wɔ wo blibo la, ne womedzudzɔ vɔsasa oa? Elabena anye ne vɔsa la kɔ ame siwo sanɛ la ŋuti zi ɖeka hena ɣeyiɣiawo katã, eye woƒe dzitsinyawo magabu fɔ wo le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta o.
since, would they not have ceased to be offered, because of those serving having no more conscience of sins, having been purified once?
3 Ke vɔsa mawo ɖoa ŋku nu vɔ̃ dzi na ameawo ƒe sia ƒe,
But in those [sacrifices] is a remembrance of sins every year,
4 elabena mele bɔbɔe be nyitsuwo kple gbɔ̃wo ƒe ʋu naɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa o.
for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Eya ta esi Kristo va xexea me la, egblɔ be: “Mèdi vɔsa kple numemewo o, ke boŋ ŋutilã si nèdzra ɖo ɖi nam;
For this reason, coming into the world, He says, “Sacrifice and offering You did not will, and a body You prepared for Me;
6 eye numevɔsa kple nu vɔ̃ vɔsawo hã medzea ŋuwò o.
in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, You did not delight.
7 Tete megblɔ be, ‘Nyee nye esi, woŋlɔ nu tso ŋutinye le lãgbalẽ me be, o Mawu, meva be mawɔ wò lɔlɔ̃nu.’”
Then I said, Behold, I come (in a volume of the scroll it has been written concerning Me), to do, O God, Your will”;
8 Gbã la, egblɔ be, “Vɔsawo, numemewo kple numevɔsawo kple nu vɔ̃ vɔsawo la, mèdi wo o, eye womedzea ŋuwò hã o.” Togbɔ be se la bia be woawɔ wo hã.
saying above, “Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering You did not will, nor delight in” (which are offered according to the Law),
9 Tete wògblɔ be, “Nyee nye esi, meva be mawɔ wò lɔlɔ̃nu.” Ale wòɖe se gbãtɔ la ɖa be wòaɖo evelia anyi.
then He said, “Behold, I come to do, O God, Your will”; He takes away the first that He may establish the second;
10 Eye to Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃nuwɔwɔ me wowɔ mí kɔkɔe to Yesu Kristo ƒe ŋutilã si wòtsɔ sa vɔe hena ɣeyiɣiwo katã la me.
in which will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all,
11 Nunɔla la wɔa eƒe vɔsasadɔwo gbe sia gbe, eye nenema ke wòwɔ vɔsa mawo ke edziedzi, vɔsa siwo mate ŋu aɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa akpɔ gbeɖe o.
and every priest, indeed, has daily stood serving, and offering the same sacrifices many times, that are never able to take away sins.
12 Ke esi nunɔla sia ya sa vɔ ɖe nu vɔ̃wo ta zi ɖeka hena ɣeyiɣiawo katã la eyi ɖanɔ Mawu ƒe nuɖusime.
But He, having offered one sacrifice for sin—to the end, sat down at the right hand of God—
13 Tso ɣe ma ɣi la, ele lalam be woatsɔ eƒe futɔwo awɔ eƒe afɔɖodzinui.
as to the rest, expecting until He may place His enemies [as] His footstool,
14 Elabena to vɔsa ɖeka si wòwɔ me la, ewɔ ame siwo ŋuti kɔm wòle la blibo tegbetegbe le Mawu ƒe ŋkume.
for by one offering He has perfected to the end those being sanctified;
15 Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe hã ɖi ɖase tso esia ŋuti; gbã la egblɔ be,
and the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after that He has said before,
16 “Esia nye nu si mabla kpli wo le ɣeyiɣi ma megbe, Yehowae gblɔe. Matsɔ nye sewo ade woƒe dziwo me, eye maŋlɔ wo ɖe woƒe susuwo me.”
“This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD, giving My laws on their hearts, and I will write them on their minds,”
17 Egagblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu be, “Nyemagaɖo ŋku woƒe nu vɔ̃wo kple nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔwo dzi azɔ o.”
and, “I will remember their sins and their lawlessness no more”;
18 Eye afi si wotsɔ nu siawo ke le la, vɔsasa ɖe nu vɔ̃ ta megahiã o.
and where [there is] forgiveness of these, there is no longer offering for sin.
19 Eya ta nɔvi lɔlɔ̃wo, esime kakaɖedzi le mía si be miage ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la to Yesu ƒe ʋu me ŋuti la,
Having, therefore, brothers, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, by the blood of Jesus,
20 eʋu mɔ yeye kple mɔ gbagbe na mí to xɔmetsovɔ si nye eƒe ŋutilã la me.
which [is] the way He initiated for us—new and living, through the veil, that is, His flesh—
21 Eye esi nunɔlagã le mía si le Mawu ƒe aƒe nu ta la,
and a Great Priest over the house of God,
22 mina míate ɖe Mawu ŋu le dzi vavã me kple xɔse ƒe kakaɖedzi blibo la me kple dzi siwo ŋu wohlẽ ʋu ɖo be wòaklɔ mía ŋuti tso dzitsinya vɔ̃ɖiwo me, eye wòale tsi na míaƒe ŋutilãwo kple tsi zɔzrɔ̃e.
may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;
23 Mina míalé mɔkpɔkpɔ si me míeʋu la me ɖe asi maʋamaʋãe, elabena ame si do ŋugbea la nye nuteƒewɔla.
may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope (for He who promised [is] faithful),
24 Eye mina míabu ale si míado ŋusẽ mía nɔewo la ŋuti be woayi dzi le lɔlɔ̃ kple dɔ nyui wɔwɔ me.
and may we consider to provoke one another to love and to good works,
25 Migana míagbɔdzɔ le míaƒe takpeƒewo dede me o, abe ale si ame aɖewo tsɔe ɖo dɔe nɔa kuvia wɔm ene o, ke boŋ mina míade dzi ƒo na mía nɔewo, vevietɔ esi mienyae be eƒe ŋkeke la te tu aƒe kpokploe.
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as [is] a custom of some, but exhorting, and so much the more as you see the Day coming near.
26 Ne míebua le nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ dzi, esi míenya nyateƒe la vɔ megbe la, vɔsasa ɖe nu vɔ̃wo ta aɖeke megali o,
For [if] we are sinning willingly after receiving the full knowledge of the truth—there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27 ke nu si ko míanɔ mɔ kpɔm na le ŋɔdzi gã aɖe me lae nye ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ kple dzo bibi si ava fia Mawu ƒe futɔwo.
but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers;
28 Ame sia ame si ada le Mose ƒe se dzi la, woƒua kpee nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe le ɖaseɖila eve alo etɔ̃ ƒe nya nu.
anyone having set aside a law of Moses dies without mercies on the basis of two or three witnesses.
29 Tohehe gã kae miesusu be mehedze na ame si titi afɔ ɖe Mawu ƒe Vi la dzi oa? Ame si do ŋunyɔ nubabla la ƒe ʋu si klɔ eŋuti la abe nu makɔmakɔ wònye ene, eye wòdzu amenuveve ƒe Gbɔgbɔ la?
Of how much worse punishment will he be counted worthy who trampled on the Son of God, and counted the blood of the covenant a common thing, by which he was sanctified, and having insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 Elabena míenya ame si gblɔ be, “Hlɔ̃biabia la tɔnyee, maɖo eteƒe nɛ,” egagblɔ hã be, “Aƒetɔ la adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu eƒe dukɔ la.”
For we have known Him who is saying, “Vengeance [is] Mine, I will repay, says the LORD”; and again, “The LORD will judge His people.”
31 Enye ŋɔdzinu be ame aɖe nage ɖe Mawu gbagbe la ƒe asi me.
[It is] fearful to fall into [the] hands of [the] living God.
32 Miɖo ŋku ŋkeke siwo do ŋgɔ la dzi esi miexɔ kekeli la vɔ la, mienɔ te sesĩe to ʋiʋli geɖewo me, mieto fukpekpe hã me kalẽtɔe.
But call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, you endured much conflict of sufferings;
33 Ɣe aɖewo ɣi la wodzua mi le dutoƒo, eye wotia mia yome, ɣe bubu ɣiwo la, mienɔ te kpe ɖe ame siwo nɔ xaxa mawo ke me la ŋuti.
this indeed, being made spectacles with both insults and afflictions, now this, having become partners of those so living,
34 Miefa konyi kple ame siwo wode gaxɔ me, eye esi woxɔ miaƒe nunɔamesiwo le mia si akpasesẽtɔe la, miexɔe kple dzidzɔ, elabena miawo ŋutɔ mienyae be nunɔamesi siwo nyo sãa wu, eye womenyunyɔna o la le mia si.
for you also sympathized with my bonds, and the robbery of your goods you received with joy, knowing that you have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring one.
35 Eya ta dzi megaɖe le mia ƒo o, elabena miaƒe dzideƒo ahe fetu geɖe vɛ na mi.
You may not cast away, then, your boldness, which has great repayment of reward,
36 Ele be miado vevie, ale be ne miewɔ Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu la, miaxɔ nu si ƒe ŋugbe wòdo la.
for you have need of patience, that having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37 Elabena le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, “Ame si gbɔna la ava ɖo, eye matsi megbe o.
“For yet [in] a very, very little [while], He who is coming will come, and will not linger,”
38 Ke nye dzɔdzɔetɔ la anɔ agbe to xɔse me. Ke ne ede megbe la, nyemakpɔ dzidzɔ le eŋuti o.”
but, “The righteous will live by faith; and if he may draw back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 Ke míawo ya míele abe ame siwo de megbe, eye wotsrɔ̃ la ene o, ke boŋ míenye ame siwo xɔe se, eye míekpɔ ɖeɖe.
But we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.
