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.
Moreover, the law, containing only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of these things, never can, with the same sacrifices which they offer every year continually, make those who come to them, perfect.
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.
For then would they not have ceased to be offered: since the offerers being once purified, should not have had any more conscience of sins?
3 Ke vɔsa mawo ɖoa ŋku nu vɔ̃ dzi na ameawo ƒe sia ƒe,
but, in these, there is a remembrance of sins yearly.
4 elabena mele bɔbɔe be nyitsuwo kple gbɔ̃wo ƒe ʋu naɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa o.
Besides, it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should 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;
Wherefore, when coming into the world, he says, "Sacrifice and offering thou hast not willed; but a body hast thou prepared me.
6 eye numevɔsa kple nu vɔ̃ vɔsawo hã medzea ŋuwò o.
In whole burnt offerings, and sin offerings, thou hast no pleasure.
7 Tete megblɔ be, ‘Nyee nye esi, woŋlɔ nu tso ŋutinye le lãgbalẽ me be, o Mawu, meva be mawɔ wò lɔlɔ̃nu.’”
Then, said I, behold, I come to do thy will, O God! (In the volume of the book it is written concerning me.")
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.
Having said above, the sacrifice, and offering; and whole burnt offerings, and sin offerings thou hast not willed, neither has pleasure in them, (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.
and then he said, "Behold, I come to do thy will." He takes away the first will, 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.
By which WILL we are sanctified, through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once.
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, indeed, every priest stands, daily ministering, and offering often the same sacrifices, which never can 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 only one sacrifice for sins, through his whole life, sat down at the right hand of God;
13 Tso ɣe ma ɣi la, ele lalam be woatsɔ eƒe futɔwo awɔ eƒe afɔɖodzinui.
thenceforth waiting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 Elabena to vɔsa ɖeka si wòwɔ me la, ewɔ ame siwo ŋuti kɔm wòle la blibo tegbetegbe le Mawu ƒe ŋkume.
Wherefore, by one offering, he has perfected for ever the sanctified.
15 Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe hã ɖi ɖase tso esia ŋuti; gbã la egblɔ be,
Moreover, also, the Holy Spirit testifies this to us; for, after he has said,
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 institution which I will make with them after these days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their hearts, and inscribe them on their minds"; he adds,
17 Egagblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu be, “Nyemagaɖo ŋku woƒe nu vɔ̃wo kple nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔwo dzi azɔ o.”
"and their sins and iniquities I will remember no more."
18 Eye afi si wotsɔ nu siawo ke le la, vɔsasa ɖe nu vɔ̃ ta megahiã o.
Now, where remission of these is, there is no more 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, brethren, free access to the most holy place, by the blood of Jesus--
20 eʋu mɔ yeye kple mɔ gbagbe na mí to xɔmetsovɔ si nye eƒe ŋutilã la me.
a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us through the vail, (that is, his flesh, )
21 Eye esi nunɔlagã le mía si le Mawu ƒe aƒe nu ta la,
and--a great High 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.
let us draw near, with a true heart, in full assurance of faith--having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water,
23 Mina míalé mɔkpɔkpɔ si me míeʋu la me ɖe asi maʋamaʋãe, elabena ame si do ŋugbea la nye nuteƒewɔla.
let us hold fast the confession of the hope unmoved; for he is faithful, who has promised.
24 Eye mina míabu ale si míado ŋusẽ mía nɔewo la ŋuti be woayi dzi le lɔlɔ̃ kple dɔ nyui wɔwɔ me.
And let us attentively consider one another, to excite to love and 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 the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.
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 sin willfully, after having received the 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 dreadful expectation of judgment, and of a fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 Ame sia ame si ada le Mose ƒe se dzi la, woƒua kpee nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe le ɖaseɖila eve alo etɔ̃ ƒe nya nu.
Any one who disregarded the law of Moses, died without mercy, by 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 sorer punishment, think you, shall he be counted worthy, who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and reckoned the blood of the institution by which he was sanctified, a common thing, and has insulted the Spirit of Favor?
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 know him who has said, "Vengeance belongs to me; 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 a dreadful thing 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 to call to remembrance the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you sustained a great combat of afflictions;
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.
partly, indeed, whilst you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst you became companions of them who were so treated.
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 suffered with me in my bonds, and with joy sustained the spoiling of your goods, knowing within yourselves, that you have in heaven a better and a permanent substance.
35 Eya ta dzi megaɖe le mia ƒo o, elabena miaƒe dzideƒo ahe fetu geɖe vɛ na mi.
Wherefore, cast not away your confidence, which has a great retribution.
36 Ele be miado vevie, ale be ne miewɔ Mawu ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu la, miaxɔ nu si ƒe ŋugbe wòdo la.
For you must persevere in doing the will of God, that you may obtain the promised reward.
37 Elabena le ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe megbe la, “Ame si gbɔna la ava ɖo, eye matsi megbe o.
For yet a very little while, and He who is coming, will come, and will not tarry.
38 Ke nye dzɔdzɔetɔ la anɔ agbe to xɔse me. Ke ne ede megbe la, nyemakpɔ dzidzɔ le eŋuti o.”
Now, the just by faith shall live; but if he draw, my soul will not be well pleased with 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.
We, however, are not of those who apostatize to perdition; but of those who persevere to the salvation of the soul.
