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 principles of the doctrine (logos) of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; 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 doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Esia míawɔ ne Mawu lɔ̃.
And this will we 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 for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, (pneuma)
And have tasted the good word (rhema) of God, and the powers of the world to come, (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 shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, 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 earth which drinks in the rain that comes often upon it, and brings forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, 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 bears thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end 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 persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany 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 unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, (agape) which all of you have showed toward his name, in that all of you have ministered to the saints, and do 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.
And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto 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 all of you be not slothful, but followers of them 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, Surely 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 patiently endured, 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.
For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
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.
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed 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.
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon 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 of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil;
