Hebritɔwo 6
1 Eya ta mina míaɖe asi le gɔmedzenuwo fiafia tso Kristo ŋuti ŋu, eye míaɖe zɔ ayi ɖe tsitsi ɖe edzi me. Migana míagbugbɔ gɔmeɖokpe aɖo na dzimetɔtrɔ tso nu siwo kplɔa ame yia ku me alo míagbugbɔ gɔmeɖokpe aɖo na xɔse le Mawu me,
Therefore, omitting the elementary Christian teaching, let us go on to the perfection of Christian instruction, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 nufiafia tso mawutsideta ŋu, asidada ɖe ame dzi, ame kukuwo ƒe tsitretsitsi kple ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ mavɔ ŋuti o. (aiōnios g166)
of the teaching with respect to immersions, and of the laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal condemnation. (aiōnios g166)
3 Esia míawɔ ne Mawu lɔ̃.
And this we will do, if God permit.
4 Ke ame siwo dze anyi la, aleke woawɔ agbugbɔ wo va dzimetɔtrɔ me? Wonye ame siwo nɔ Mawu ƒe kekeli me kpɔ. Woɖɔ dziƒo ƒe nunana kpɔ, eye wokpɔ gome hã le Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la me,
For it is impossible to renew again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the coming age, (aiōn g165)
6 Ke wode megbe! Be woagbugbɔ wo ava dzimetɔtrɔ mee la nye nu sesẽ, elabena to woƒe megbedede me, wogbugbɔ Mawu ƒe Vi la gale kaklãm ɖe ati ŋuti, eye wole ŋukpe domii le gaglãgbe.
if they fall away; since they again crucify in themselves the Son of God, and put him to an open shame.
7 Anyigba si noa tsi si dzana ɖe edzi zi geɖe, eye wòwɔa nuku nyuie na agbledela siwo ŋlɔa anyigba la xɔa yayra tso Mawu gbɔ.
For the land which drinks up the rain that comes often upon it, and produces herbs suitable for those for whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God.
8 Ke ne anyigba la mie ŋuwo kple aŋɔkawo la, meganyo na naneke o, eye ŋɔdzi li be ele fiƒode te. Mlɔeba la, woatɔ dzoe.
But that which produces thorns and thistles is rejected, and is near the curse, the end of which is to be burned.
9 Nɔvi lɔlɔ̃awo, togbɔ be míele nu ƒom alea hã la, kakaɖedzi le mía si be nya siawo meku ɖe mia ŋu o. Ke boŋ miaƒe ɖeɖekpɔkpɔ le ku nyuiwo tsem le miaƒe agbe me.
But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, and of things that tend to salvation, though we thus speak.
10 Mawu menye nuteƒemawɔla o, eya ta maŋlɔ dɔ nyui si míewɔ nɛ kple lɔlɔ̃ si míeɖe fiae be míekpe ɖe eƒe ame kɔkɔewo ŋu eye míegale nu siawo wɔm fifia la be gbeɖe o.
For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work, and the love which you have shown for his name by having ministered to the saints, and by continuing to minister.
11 Enye míaƒe didi be mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nalé nu siawo wɔwɔ me ɖe asi va se ɖe nuwuwu kple ŋkubiã, ale be miaƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ nade blibo.
But we desire every one of you to show the same diligence, in order to have your hope fully assured to the end:
12 Míedi be ame aɖeke nazu kuviatɔ o, ke boŋ ame sia ame nasrɔ̃ ame siwo to xɔse kple dzigbɔɖi me nyi nu si ŋugbe wodo na wo la ƒe dome ƒe kpɔɖeŋu.
that you may not become slothful, but imitators of those who, through faith and patience, inherit the promises.
13 Esi Mawu do ŋugbe na Abraham, eye ame aɖeke meli lolo wui wòayɔ aka atam o ta la, eta eya ŋutɔ ɖokui,
For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself,
14 hegblɔ be, “Mayra wò godoo, eye mana dzidzimevi geɖewo wò.”
saying: Most surely will I abundantly bless you, and abundantly multiply you.
15 Ale, esime Abraham gbɔ dzi ɖi blewuu la, ŋugbedodo sia va eme nɛ pɛpɛpɛ.
And so, when he had waited patiently, he received the promises.
16 Ne ame aɖe be yeaka atam la, eyɔa ame bubu si ƒe ŋkɔ kple ŋusẽ kɔ wu eya ŋutɔ tɔ la ka atam lae heɖoa kpe nya si wògblɔ la dzi, eye wòtsia nyaʋiʋli ɖe sia ɖe nu.
For, verily, men swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all contradiction.
17 Esi wònye be Mawu di be yeana eme nakɔ nyuie na ŋugbedodo ƒe domenyilawo be nu si ƒe ŋugbe yedo matrɔ o ta la, eka atam tsɔ ɖo kpe eƒe ŋugbedodo la dzi.
Wherefore, God, being more abundantly willing to show to the heirs of his promise the immutability of his purpose, interposed an oath,
18 Mawu wɔ esia, ale be to nu eve siwo metrɔna o, esiwo me Mawu mate ŋu aka aʋatso le gbeɖe o la dzi, mí ame siwo si yi ɖaku ɖe mɔkpɔkpɔ si wona mí la ŋu la nakpɔ dzideƒo gã aɖe.
that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled to lay hold on the hope set before us;
19 Mɔkpɔkpɔ sia le mia si abe luʋɔ ƒe seke sesẽ si maʋã akpɔ o la ene. Etea ŋu gena ɖe kɔkɔeƒe le xɔmetsovɔ la godo,
which, hope we have as an anchor for the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters in beyond the vail,
