Ibirawe 6
1 Hessa gishshi koyrope kiristoosa gishshi immetida timirtteza aggidi ane gede mino timirtteko boosu. Hayqida oothope maarotethan gelo gishshine Xoossan ammano gishshi buro ane izan wodhdhi maadhokko.
Therefore, let us leave behind the elementary teaching about the Christ and press on to perfection, not always laying over again a foundation of repentance for a lifeless formality, of faith in God –
2 Hessaththoka xinqqate gishshine kushe asa bolla wotho gishshi qasseka hayqidayata dentha gishshine medhina pirida gishshi buro wothi demoko. (aiōnios g166)
teaching concerning baptisms and the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and a final judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Xoossa shene gidiko nu hessaththo oothana.
Yes and, with God’s help, we will.
4 Be ammano kaddida asata istta maarotethan wositti zoranee? Po7oy isttas issi to po7idayta salo imotetha ekki be7idayta xiillo ayana ekki be7idayta;
For if those who were once for all brought into the light, and learned to appreciate the gift from heaven, and came to share in the Holy Spirit,
and learned to appreciate the beauty of the divine message, and the new powers of the coming age – (aiōn g165)
6 Zaaridi kadidayti istta nam77antho zaaridi maarotethin ekoy danda7etena. Gaasoy istti ba mooros Xoossa na zaari kaqetesine kawushetes.
if those, I say, fell away, it would be impossible to bring them again to repentance; they would be crucifying the Son of God over again for themselves, and exposing him to open contempt.
7 Wuriso wode ba bolla ira uyza biittay qesseka iza goyzadey ayfe immiza biittayaka Xoossa achchan anjjistadus.
Ground that drinks in the showers that from time to time fall on it, and produces vegetation useful to those for whom it is tilled, receives a blessing from God;
8 Gido attin agunthune caca mokisiza biittay go7ay baydaro gidana. He biittays qangetethi matan dees. Izi wurisethi taman xuugeteth gidana.
but, if it bears thorns and thistles, it is regarded as worthless, it is in danger of being cursed, and its end will be the fire.
9 Ta ishato nuni hessaththo hassa7ikoka intes inte atotethara oyketida lo7o miishey dizayssa nu sidhoko.
But about you, dear friends, even though we speak in this way, we are confident of better things – of things that point to your salvation.
10 Kase gidin woykko ha7i gidinka inte ammanizayta maadidayssane iza suntha gishshi inte bessida siiqotetha balanas Xoossi makal7ancha gidena.
For God is not unjust; he will not forget the work that you did, and the love that you showed for his name, in sending help to your fellow Christians – as you are still doing.
11 Immetida ufayssay polistana gakanas intefe issi issi uray hessa mala ootho wuriseth gakanas genccidi oothana mala nu amotoos.
But our great desire is that every one of you should be equally earnest to attain to a full conviction that our hope will be fulfilled, and that you should keep that hope to the end.
12 Ammanonine danda7an inte iza ufayssa qaala laatizayta milatanape attin dota7ata gidanayssa nu koyoko.
Then you will not show yourselves slow to learn, but you will copy those who, through faith and patience, are now entering upon the enjoyment of God’s promises.
13 Xoossi Abirames ufayssi immida wode caaqishe hara izape adhiza uray baynda gishshi berika benan hizgiza caaqides. “Ta nena tumape anjjana; tan e zeres darisana.”
When God gave his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater by whom he could swear, he swore by himself.
His words were – ‘I will assuredly bless you and increase your numbers.’
15 Abirameyka gencci naagidape kaalidi izas immetida ufayssa demmides.
And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the fulfillment of God’s promise.
16 Asay caaqo caaqishe beepe dhoqan caaqees. Caaqozika geetetidayssi poletena mala minthiza gishshi caaqidayta gidon palamay dendiko kase caaqo qaalay digees.
People, of course, swear by what is greater than themselves, and with them an oath is accepted as putting a matter beyond all dispute.
17 Xoossi laametontta ba qofa ufayssa qaala laatanaytas qonccisana mala koyda gishshi caaqo qaalan minthides.
And therefore God, in his desire to show, with unmistakable plainness, to those who were to enter on the enjoyment of what he had promised, the unchangeableness of his purpose, bound himself with an oath.
18 Xoossi ay wodeka woridotena; danda7ena. Izi laametontta nam77u miishatan nu sinththan diza ufayssa oykanas izako shiiqida nuusu gita minoteth nu demmana mala oothides.
For he intended us to find great encouragement in these two unchangeable things, which make it impossible for God to prove false – we, I mean, who fled for safety where we might lay hold on the hope set before us.
19 Nuka shempo teqe gidida minone ammanithiza ufayss demmides. He ufayssayka magalashazape guye baggara gede Xoossa keeththa gido gelees.
This hope is an anchor for our souls, secure and strong, and it reaches into the sanctuary that lies behind the curtain,
