< 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,
Let us then, leaving the first principles of the doctrine of Christ, press on to perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward 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 baptisms, and of the laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of everlasting judgment. (aiōnios g166)
3 Na noguo tũrĩĩkaga, Ngai angĩĩtĩkĩria.
And this we will 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 that those who have once been enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and been make partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 o acio macamĩte wega wa kiugo kĩa Ngai na maahinya ma ihinda rĩrĩa rĩgooka, (aiōn g165)
and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world 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, should again be renewed to repentance, since they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to open shame.
7 Mũgũnda ũrĩa uragĩrwo nĩ mbura kaingĩ na ũgacooka ũgaciara maciaro mega ma kũguna arĩa marĩmĩirwo-rĩ, nĩũrathimagwo nĩ Ngai.
For the earth which hath drunk in the rain that cometh often upon it, and beareth plants useful to those for whose sake it is tilled, receiveth 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 if it bear thorns and briers it is disapproved, and is near to being accursed; and its 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, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that are connected with salvation, though we do thus speak.
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 unjust so as to forget your work, and the love which ye showed toward his name, in that ye ministered and are still ministering to the saints.
11 Tũngĩenda mũndũ o mũndũ wanyu onanie kĩyo o ta kĩu o nginya mũthia, nĩguo mũkaahingĩrio maũndũ marĩa mũtũire mwĩrĩgĩrĩire.
But we earnestly desire that every one of you may show the same diligence with regard to the full assurance of your hope even to 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 may not become slothful, but imitators of those who through faith and endurance inherit the promises.
13 Rĩrĩa Ngai eerĩire Iburahĩmu kĩĩranĩro gĩake, eehĩtire akĩĩgwetaga we mwene, nĩgũkorwo gũtiarĩ na ũngĩ mũnene kũrĩ we wa kwĩhĩta nake,
For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no greater, he 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 so, having endured with patience, he obtained the promised blessing.
16 Tondũ rĩĩrĩ, andũ mehĩtaga na mũndũ ũrĩa mũnene kũmakĩra, naguo mwĩhĩtwa ũgakindĩra ũrĩa kwĩrĩtwo, na ũgakĩniina ngarari ciothe.
For men indeed swear by one who is greater, and the oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
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.
Wherefore God, wishing more abundantly to show to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his purpose, confirmed it 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 immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon 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 hope we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast, and which entereth within the veil;
20 o harĩa Jesũ, ũrĩa wathiire mbere iitũ, aatoonyire ithenya riitũ. Nake nĩatuĩkĩte mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene o nginya tene, o ta ũrĩa Melikisedeki aatariĩ. (aiōn g165)
where as forerunner for us Jesus entered, having become a high-priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
