Ahibirania 6
1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩtũtiganei na morutani marĩa ma kĩambĩrĩria ma ũhoro wa Kristũ, na tũthiĩ na mbere na gũkũra, na tũtige kwambĩrĩria gwaka mũthingi rĩngĩ wa kũrutana ũhoro wa kwĩrira nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko iria cierekagĩria mũndũ gĩkuũ-inĩ, na ũrutani wa gwĩtĩkia thĩinĩ wa Ngai,
Wherefore, leaving the word of the beginning of the Christ, let us go on [to what belongs] to full growth, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and faith in God,
2 na morutani ma ũbatithio, na ma kũigĩrĩrwo moko, o na ma kũriũka kwa arĩa akuũ, o na ma gũtuĩrwo ciira wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
of [the] doctrine of washings, and of imposition of hands, and of resurrection of [the] dead, and of eternal judgment; (aiōnios g166)
3 Na noguo tũrĩĩkaga, Ngai angĩĩtĩkĩria.
and this will we do if God permit.
4 Na rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ ũrĩ hinya mũno kũrĩ andũ arĩa maanathererwo nĩ ũtheri, na magacama kĩheo kĩrĩa kiumĩte igũrũ, na magakorwo matuĩtwo a ngwatanĩro ya Roho Mũtheru,
For it is impossible to renew again to repentance those once enlightened, and who 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] works of power of [the] age to come, (aiōn g165)
6 andũ acio mangĩgũa na matigane na maũndũ macio-rĩ, gũtingĩhoteka kũmacookia rĩngĩ merire, nĩ tondũ nĩ kwambithia marambithia Mũrũ wa Ngai mũtĩ igũrũ o rĩngĩ, na makamũnyararithia kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ.
and have fallen away, crucifying for themselves [as they do] the Son of God, and making a show of [him].
7 Mũgũnda ũrĩa uragĩrwo nĩ mbura kaingĩ na ũgacooka ũgaciara maciaro mega ma kũguna arĩa marĩmĩirwo-rĩ, nĩũrathimagwo nĩ Ngai.
For ground which drinks the rain which comes often upon it, and produces useful herbs for those for whose sakes also it is tilled, partakes of blessing from God;
8 No mũgũnda ũrĩa ũkũraga mĩigua na mahiũ ma nyeki-inĩ nĩ wa tũhũ, na ũrĩ ũgwati-inĩ wa kwĩrehithĩria kĩrumi. Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ nĩgũcinwo ũgaacinwo.
but bringing forth thorns and briars, it is found worthless and nigh to a curse, whose end [is] to be burned.
9 Arata akwa nyendete mũno, o na tũkĩaragia ũguo, ha ũhoro wanyu-rĩ, nĩtwĩrĩgĩrĩire maũndũ mega kũrĩ macio, o marĩa marehanaga na ũhonokio.
But we are persuaded concerning you, beloved, better things, and connected with salvation, even if we speak thus.
10 Tondũ Ngai ndaagĩte kĩhooto; ndakaariganĩrwo nĩ wĩra wanyu o na wendo ũrĩa muonanĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩrĩa mwateithagia andũ arĩa aamũre, o na rĩu no mũrathiĩ na mbere na kũmateithia.
For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work, and the love which ye have shewn to his name, having ministered to the saints, and [still] ministering.
11 Tũngĩenda mũndũ o mũndũ wanyu onanie kĩyo o ta kĩu o nginya mũthia, nĩguo mũkaahingĩrio maũndũ marĩa mũtũire mwĩrĩgĩrĩire.
But we desire earnestly that each one of you shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end;
12 Tũtikwenda mũtuĩke igũũta, no tũkwenda mwĩgerekanagie na andũ, arĩa nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia na gũkirĩrĩria kwao nĩkuo gũtũmaga magaĩrwo maũndũ marĩa meranĩirwo.
that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience have been inheritors of the promises.
13 Rĩrĩa Ngai eerĩire Iburahĩmu kĩĩranĩro gĩake, eehĩtire akĩĩgwetaga we mwene, nĩgũkorwo gũtiarĩ na ũngĩ mũnene kũrĩ we wa kwĩhĩta nake,
For God, having promised to Abraham, since he had no greater to swear by, swore by himself,
14 akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ nĩngũkũrathima na ngũhe njiaro nyingĩ.”
saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee;
15 Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio, thuutha wa Iburahĩmu gweterera akirĩrĩirie-rĩ, nĩaheirwo kĩrĩa eerĩirwo.
and thus, having had long patience, he got the promise.
16 Tondũ rĩĩrĩ, andũ mehĩtaga na mũndũ ũrĩa mũnene kũmakĩra, naguo mwĩhĩtwa ũgakindĩra ũrĩa kwĩrĩtwo, na ũgakĩniina ngarari ciothe.
For men indeed swear by a greater, and with them the oath is a term to all dispute, as making matters sure.
17 Na tondũ Ngai nĩendaga kuonania hatarĩ nganja kũrĩ agai a maũndũ marĩa meranĩirwo atĩ itua rĩake rĩrĩa aatuĩte rĩtingĩgarũrũka-rĩ, nĩakindĩrire ũhoro ũcio na mwĩhĩtwa.
Wherein God, willing to shew more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of his purpose, intervened by an oath,
18 Ngai eekire ũguo na ũndũ wa maũndũ meerĩ matangĩgarũrĩka, o marĩa gũtangĩhoteka Ngai aheenanie namo, nĩgeetha ithuĩ arĩa tuonete handũ ha kũũrĩra twĩgwatĩre kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩrĩa tũheetwo, tũhote kũũmĩrĩria mũno.
that by two unchangeable things, in which [it was] impossible that God should lie, we might have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before us,
19 Kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩkĩ tũrĩ nakĩo kĩhaana ta nanga ya ngoro, nakĩo nĩ kĩrũmu, na nĩ kĩa ma. Nakĩo gĩtoonyaga handũ-harĩa-haamũre thuutha wa gĩtama kĩrĩa kĩnene,
which we have as anchor of the soul, both secure and firm, and entering into that within the veil,
