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, leaving the elementary teaching about Christ, let us move on toward perfection, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and trust in God,
2 nufiafia tso mawutsideta ŋu, asidada ɖe ame dzi, ame kukuwo ƒe tsitretsitsi kple ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ mavɔ ŋuti o. (aiōnios g166)
of teaching about baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Esia míawɔ ne Mawu lɔ̃.
We will do this, that is, if indeed God should permit it.
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,
Because, it is impossible to bring back into repentance those who were once for all enlightened, who have partaken of the heavenly gift and were made sharers in the Holy Spirit,
who have experienced God's good event and capabilities 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.
and yet have fallen away—they would be crucifying the Son of God all over again, just for themselves, holding Him up to contempt.
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.
Now the ground that drinks in the rain that frequently falls on it and produces a crop useful to those for whom it is really 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 should it bear thorns and thistles, it is disqualified, almost a curse, whose destiny is a burning.
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.
For all that, dear ones, we are confident of the better things concerning you—things that accompany salvation—even though we speak like this.
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.
Because God is not unjust so as to ignore your work, even the labor of love you have invested in His name, in that you have ministered to the saints and continue to do so.
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.
You see, we really do want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so as to fulfill the hope;
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.
so that you not become lazy, but rather 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,
Now when God made a promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself
14 hegblɔ be, “Mayra wò godoo, eye mana dzidzimevi geɖewo wò.”
saying, “Indeed, blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”
15 Ale, esime Abraham gbɔ dzi ɖi blewuu la, ŋugbedodo sia va eme nɛ pɛpɛpɛ.
And so, after he had been patient, he obtained the promise.
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.
Because since men swear by the greater, and for them the confirming oath puts an end to every dispute,
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.
similarly God, being determined to show even more clearly to the heirs of the promise the unchanging nature of His purpose, guaranteed it by 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.
so that by two unalterable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we should have a strong encouragement, we who have taken refuge by grasping 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 certain and secure, actually entering the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,
