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 the commencement of the word of the Messiah, and let us proceed to the completion. Or will ye again lay another foundation for the repentance which is from dead works, and for the faith in God,
2 Hessaththoka xinqqate gishshine kushe asa bolla wotho gishshi qasseka hayqidayata dentha gishshine medhina pirida gishshi buro wothi demoko. (aiōnios g166)
and for the doctrine of baptism, and for the laying on of a hand, and for the resurrection from the dead, and for the eternal judgment? (aiōnios g166)
3 Xoossa shene gidiko nu hessaththo oothana.
We will do this, if the Lord permit.
4 Be ammano kaddida asata istta maarotethan wositti zoranee? Po7oy isttas issi to po7idayta salo imotetha ekki be7idayta xiillo ayana ekki be7idayta;
But they who have once descended to baptism, and have tasted the gift from heaven, and have received the Holy Spirit,
and have tasted the good word of God, and the power of the world to come, (aiōn g165)
6 Zaaridi kadidayti istta nam77antho zaaridi maarotethin ekoy danda7etena. Gaasoy istti ba mooros Xoossa na zaari kaqetesine kawushetes.
cannot again sin, and a second time be renewed to repentance; or a second time crucify and insult the Son of God.
7 Wuriso wode ba bolla ira uyza biittay qesseka iza goyzadey ayfe immiza biittayaka Xoossa achchan anjjistadus.
For the earth that drinketh the rain which cometh often upon it, and produceth the herb that is of use to those for whom it is cultivated, receiveth 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 should put forth thorns and briers, it would have reprobation, and be not far from a curse, and its end would be a burning.
9 Ta ishato nuni hessaththo hassa7ikoka intes inte atotethara oyketida lo7o miishey dizayssa nu sidhoko.
But, in regard to you, my brethren, we are persuaded better things, and things pertaining to life, although we thus speak.
10 Kase gidin woykko ha7i gidinka inte ammanizayta maadidayssane iza suntha gishshi inte bessida siiqotetha balanas Xoossi makal7ancha gidena.
For God is not unrighteous, to forget your works, and your charity which ye have shown in his name, in that ye have ministered and do minister to the saints.
11 Immetida ufayssay polistana gakanas intefe issi issi uray hessa mala ootho wuriseth gakanas genccidi oothana mala nu amotoos.
And we desire, that each one of you may show this same activity, for the completion of your hope, even to the end:
12 Ammanonine danda7an inte iza ufayssa qaala laatizayta milatanape attin dota7ata gidanayssa nu koyoko.
and that ye faint not; but that ye be emulators of them who by faith and patience have become heirs of the promise.
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.”
For when God made the promise to Abraham, because there was none greater than himself by whom he could swear, he swore by himself;
and said: Blessing, I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
15 Abirameyka gencci naagidape kaalidi izas immetida ufayssa demmides.
And so he was patient, and obtained the promise.
16 Asay caaqo caaqishe beepe dhoqan caaqees. Caaqozika geetetidayssi poletena mala minthiza gishshi caaqidayta gidon palamay dendiko kase caaqo qaalay digees.
For men swear by one greater than themselves: and in every controversy that occurs among them, the sure termination of it is by an oath.
17 Xoossi laametontta ba qofa ufayssa qaala laatanaytas qonccisana mala koyda gishshi caaqo qaalan minthides.
Therefore, God, being abundantly willing to show to the heirs of the promise, that his promising was irreversible, bound it up in 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.
so that, by two things which change not, and in which God cannot lie, we, who have sought refuge in him, might have great consolation, and might hold fast the hope promised to us;
19 Nuka shempo teqe gidida minone ammanithiza ufayss demmides. He ufayssayka magalashazape guye baggara gede Xoossa keeththa gido gelees.
which is to us as an anchor, that retaineth our soul, so that it swerveth not; and it entereth into that within the veil,
